4/25/17 MOVIE TRIVIA RECAP
Round 1: General Knowledge – Who directed Cool Hand Luke? Probably not who you think (unless you’re a really big fan of Cool Hand Luke).
Round 2: Audio Round – Fill in the Bleep, an audiovisual round. The bleeps weren’t because of profanity, but because they were famous lines that we should…

Let's not forget Oldboy when he gobbled up all the scenery in a 1000-mile radius.
Most reviews have been positive, so maybe you should still give it a chance. I can see why people would like it, but I stand by the points that got in the way of my enjoyment.

Round 1: General Knowledge – The films directed by Forest Whitaker would make quite the triple feature.
Round 2: Audio Round – The latest set of Trailers, including one of my favorites of all time, courtesy of director Cameron Crowe and starring a certain Mr. Tom Cruise.
Round 3: Clip Round – Sp…
1>2>>>>3, didn't watch the rest
Took me a while to realize what Empire he was referring to. I kept thinking, "Do Cookie and Lucius not have any scenes together in Season 2?"
