For one of the pictures last year I emailed a really nice photographer to get some context on the photo and where it was used, and he ended up digging into his film and sending me scans of the whole set. He was really nice. Trivia is weird and fun.

I'm still friends with Bobby Rydell on Facebook after him appearing two (three) years ago.

Here's one of the year's spotify playlists if you want to familiarize yourself with the kind of music we're dealing with. There are music snippets throughout the contest that will undoubtedly use songs from this list. http://open.spotify.com/user/athanatossa/playlist/10noomwZgdHLi7COyFoKb5 Notice how many, if not most, of the songs are 3 minutes or less. Most questions we have 6-7 minutes to solve. poo poo gets intense.

Make sure you put all your money in a log cabin before next Friday rolls around. That hosed us over last year, all the money laying around unsecured by the impenetrable walls of a log cabin giving people anxiety that kept them from finding answers before the time ran out.

my cat is norris posted:Hi Brylcreem!! It's wonderful  Athanatos posted:Hey the Movie is Blues Brothers. If you know anything about Blues Brothers come to Trivia next weekend. Yeah, so we need someone to go through the whole movie, taking screenshots of every sign, menu, phone book, car, wall, piece of paper, grave stone, mile stone, and stone wall. Also transcribing the signs, menus, phone books, cars, pieces of paper, grave stones, mile stones, and stone walls. Same thing for the new movie. I did that for The Day The Earth Stood Still (with Will Smith) last year, and we didn't end up using it. But we did have a question from the 50s version, that we could answer via a screenshot, so there's that!

We have clients coming in on Friday so we're supposed to step up our casual dress game. So I'm thinking that means I should wear a sports coat or cardigan with my team shirt, right?

People are in the chatroom analyzing the hell out of Blues Brothers. If you can help figure out things like this -- <+I_Greyhound> Can someone confirm the <object seen for a flash> for the <mm:ss> frame? -- join the room and help out! Even if you don't wanna play trivia for the full weekend, sharing your expertise over this one movie could really help us out.

The wikipedia article for the rawhide theme song was last edited in May 2015, so we can assume it has not been vandalized yet. Someone get ahold of personal contact information for Carrie Fisher, we might need to ask her about her machine gun. The mall chase scene was filmed in recently-abandoned (and not very old) dixie square mall in Harvey, Ill. It was trashed and they never fixed it up after the movie. It was torn down in 2012. I assume someone is even as I post, documenting every single brand name of musical instrument in the store, and seen on stage throughout the film?
