Topic: FunTrivia Movie Double Feature

Posted by: kyleisalive

Subject: FunTrivia Movie Double Feature
Date: Jan 15 13

The editors of the Movies category are opening a drive-in theater and their specialty will be the double feature. Looks like we'll need to fill in the blanks with some quizzes! Here will be eight different topics-- for each topic, one quiz needs to be about a single film and the other needs to be about a mixture of films. Thus, by the end, we'll have sixteen quizzes.

You may write more than one quiz, but you can't write both quizzes for a single topic.

For this challenge, no one will have their name assigned to a particular topic. It only counts when it makes its way online. In other words, no formal dibs.

The double features are as follows:

A film set in space - Christinap - http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Movies/The-Right-Stuff-357165.html
Multiple films set in space - Card183 - http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Movies/It-Happened-in-Outer-Space-356704.html

A film from 2012 - Saleo - http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Movies/Salus-Movie-Picks-End-of-Watch-2012-356743.html

Remember, all submissions must be sent to the Movies category. Make sure to review the guidelines. For your quiz to count for this challenge, the link must be posted in this thread after the submission is placed online and you must state which double feature it's eligible for; it'd be awkward to fulfill two challenges (eg. a Kazan film with an igloo) and get counted for the wrong one.

Enjoy the show! :)



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

Although none can be 'claimed' would it not be a good idea to post which one you are working on so we don't get duplicated effort and all of them get covered?

Participants may, by all means, note if they're working on one and try to coordinate.

Why no dibs?

(In the meantime I would like to take the film in space)

Re: 'Why no dibs?'
Because there are no reserve tickets at a drive-in.

Geez ... I have to drive three hours if wish to go to a drive in from here. Unless it's school holidays then the one that's 58 kilometres away is open, though, sadly,(puts on his best "Time Warp" impersonating voice) not very longer (removes voice) ... the land is far too valuable and housing plans are already into the council for approval

I'm going to have a go at the female names mixture.

So one may write a quiz about a European movie with a female name in the title?

beergirllaura

Only if she lives in an igloo, and the 2012 movie was directed by Elia Kazan, and she won an Oscar for her role...

Reply #10. Jan 16 13, 1:54 PM

reeshy

Jan, as I understand it, you can do that, but you must specify whether you want your quiz to count for the European category, or the female name category.

Mine is now submitted. :)

How do you guys write quizzes so fast?

Reply #12. Jan 16 13, 3:44 PM

kyleisalive

It depends on the person and it depends on the quiz. Some people just write fast provided they have all the materials they need to finish it up.

I used to be able to write several quizzes in a day.... But as time constraints prevented this, I find that I struggle to get one every couple of weeks! :)

I've been procrastinating many templates for a while, for example I took two months to do my last AinA quiz, and I haven't touched my Commission quiz yet, so don't think I always churn them out this quickly. :P I just saw the movies idea and was inspired. :) It's not often I do a quiz in one day's work.

I believe this is reeshy's contribution:

Well done, Reeshy. Another very good quiz!

Not sure if I'll tackle one of these, but I just submitted a movie quiz for A in A and was wondering... I started a template for a movie quiz and realized as I researched that the movie I had in mind was a made for television movie rather than a theatrical release. (I have it on DVD.) So I chose a different movie. But where would a made for television movie go? It was a one-time movie, not a series.

Can the Oscar-winning film have just one award for anything? If so, may I coordinate this with another Lounge challenge?

Made-for-TV movies go to TV.
