Particularly when they're keepers of stones.

Why isn't this film called Autobahn in the U.S.? Was the distributor really thinking that no one would have a clue what an Autobahn could refer to? Aside from making me think of Kraftwerk, which is never a bad thing, it's so much more a distinctive and interesting title than fucking Collide, which sounds any number of…

This is getting released in over 2000 theaters. I don't think it's that big an issue to review every film that opens in more than 1000 theaters, which they've always done. The TV shows issue is completely separate from this.

It's called Christane F., about a young teenage girl who gets hooked on heroin.

There we go, you got it. Quite a tough question for most teams, including my own.

Correct on most. As it turns out, The Muppet Movie is the earlier of the four and the only one to be released in the 70's, 1979. Then it's The Coal Miner's Daughter in 1980, Time Bandits in 1981, and technically Porky's was also released in 1981, but a small release at the very end of the year, before going wide in…

I didn't go, but one of the Meetup groups I belong to had a member send a mass e-mail to see if anyone wanted her ticket and she included the e-mail with the info about the screening. Everyone who went did have to sign an NDA beforehand.

No to either. I only knew of this movie when Alamo showed it a few months ago. It's so great yet completely devastating.

You know your Peckinpah!

Still, what you got is right, so be good to what you got.

Correct on everything!

Correct on the ordering. And Jazzin' For Blue Jeans sounds like a great film, but it is not the actual great film being referred to here.

You are right on me mixing up Tony Scott and Michael Mann. Ride The High Country is very close, but it was Peckinpah's second film. It's actually a later Peckinpah with both Kristofferson and Ali McGraw. Down & Out In Beverly Hills was a popular Movie Trivia answer for a bit, but not this time. If you had to pick, who…

Damn, good job, you got all of them. Massive kudos on knowing Smart People, which my team couldn't think of at all.

You knew correctly on all of them. Good job!

It was a good night of Movie Trivia. After Valentine's Day decimated our ranks last week, this week had a return to normality for both of my film group teams The Hand That Lox The Bagel and The Texas Chainstore Manager, with both being full or near full, and both also having a new member as well. The first round was…

Production budget is $150 million. It has a decent chance of doubling that on a worldwide basis. And you'd have to have really large amounts of proof to say that the whitewashing controversy would have enough impact on the general movie going public here to make a vital difference in how it performs in America. This…

Plus, the film's made $170 million in China. How in God's name is that considered a financial loss?

That would be laughed out of any court. There is no laws for so called "criticism without merit," especially since what she said would clearly be interpreted as opinion and falls under literally no definition of libel that you could even stretch out.

There is Saving Face, where a Chinese-American lesbian has to deal with being closeted due to cultural expectations within her community while pursuing a romance with another woman. Circumstance is also about trying to pursue a relationship while in a culture that is explicitly anti-homosexuality, Iran in this case.…
