A quick search reveals you're right about the Hawthorne story. It's very likely that Doctorow did make his Wakefield as a modernization of that story, transplanting the story to the suburbs and making the main character even closer than the guy in the original story.

Except less confrontational.

I have not. Not sure about what collection it's in, but a quick Google search actually turned up the short story on the New Yorker's website, where it was first published almost a decade ago: http://www.newyorker.com/ma…

Correct on everything. Good job!

Correct on a lot of these. As stated elsewhere, off by a year on Alien's release year. While she's not as prominent as she was back then, Isabella Rossellini has appeared in quite a lot of films since Death Becomes Her. Furious 7 might be his highest grossing film without accounting for inflation, but there was…

Correct on everything. Good job particularly on Howl's Moving Castle, which I saw yet somehow forgot all the details about, and Saving Private Ryan, as we only focused on his franchise films and forgot he was in Saving Private Ryan.

I saw an early screening of this on Monday. C+ is the accurate grade for it. It's passable, but it really does feel completely hamstrung by having to take this short story and make it feature length. It feels a smidge bloated and it becomes really hard to have any grasp on what motivates Cranston's character at all.…

Very good. Got all but Alien's released date correct. Off by just one year.

Last night continued the standard of quality for Movie Trivia nights on Tuesdays. My film group was able to divide up into two teams, my team of Fake Newsies and the other one being My Neighbor Tarantino, the reigning champion for the past three weeks. We started off on a great note, getting all but one question right…

I still find the discussions of new films interesting even without having seen the film. Of course, it helps that they're usually films I have no interest in and so I don't mind being spoiled about them.

Yeah, once I figured out where that second Risk story was going, I had to turn it off and wait until the next day, as I couldn't handle it right when I was travelling home at night. Chilling is the right word for it. The third story was also goddamn harrowing to listen to, but at least it ended in a good place for the…

Very good job. Got them mostly right, including all the ones with question marks. For the Emma Watson question, it's looking for the first film she appeared in after the Harry Potter series ended, not her first overall film.

Correct on both!

Correct on most. Sherlock Holmes 2 wasn't quite the very last thing directed by Guy Ritchie. And while I'd love to see a James Gardner Elvis, it's not him.

Pretty solidly good job. While you were right that Samuel L. Jackson is in The Other Guys, he doesn't narrate the film. The Day Of The Dolphin feels like a film that Frankenheimer would direct, but he did not. 48 Hrs was indeed Eddie Murphy's feature film debut. For Major League, it's a sports related item. You at…

We'll see. Still very early with it, and the only thing known is that one of the writers on Game Of Thrones is attached to write it.

Correct on the majority. As you suspected, there was one more Mel Brooks film with Madeline Kahn and that would the one 80's film of his she's in, History Of The World Part 1. I've seen all four, yet I really can't remember who she is in that.

Correct on everything! I feel so bad that I let our team down, as Matthew Stechel said Little Shop Of Horrors and I was adamant that John Candy wasn't in that. And of course, he really was in that.

Correct on both!

Apparently, there are plans to do so, although if this doesn't do well, we'll see if that happens.
