Question 1 of 10

1. GATSBY: Hi ya, my right hand!

LINKAN: Don't you mean left hand? That's where the wedding ring goes. Don't you remember all that tequila and our Vegas honeymoon?

GATSBY: Yikes. I don't remember that at all!

LINKAN: Just teasing you. We didn't even open the tequila. I wanted a 'little' sip but you said "no way!".

GATSBY: Whew! We're talking about height impaired movie stuff today. Your favorite film with "Short" in the title is "Short Circuit". I never saw it, little buddy. So tell me something interesting about that 1986 flick, Linkan! Hint

#5, that rascal robot, was originally conceived to be a villain, but that's when the whole movie was supposed to be a thriller. They made it much more a family adventure finally.

Steve Guttenberg was not the first choice to star in the movie (is he ever?), River Phoenix was.

Robots #5 and #9 fell in love (since they became more than just machines). Looked like they named their little offspring #14.

The film won a "Razzy" Award as The Worst of 1986.

Question 2 of 10

2. GATSBY: Speaking of 'short', I know you like "The Wizard Of Oz"! Even I do! Imagine that!

LINKAN: You like a fun fantasy movie, Gats? That's shocking. I loved those three little people (that's what they prefer to be called. No need to say "midgets", or even dwarves).

GATSBY: They looked like mean little fellows to me, but they welcomed Dorothy quite nicely when she landed in Oz.

LINKAN: *singing* "We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland!"

GATSBY: Linkan, I'm 6'4". Were I in Oz I'm sure a falling house would find me quickly. Anyway, who was that trio that stompingly said 'hello' to Miss Gale? Hint

The Lollipop Guild

The Mayor Of Munchkin City and his two associates

The Lullabye League

The Kingston Trio

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. LINKAN: My favorite little animal in a movie, you ask? I liked the little dog in "Legally Blonde"!

GATSBY: That was a fun movie (much as I figured I wouldn't like it). The sequel wasn't too bad either - for a change. Reese Witherspoon is one of those young actresses who impresses me a lot.

LINKAN: Me, too! In "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" her character, Elle Woods, leaves Harvard and heads to Washington to work with a congresswoman who champions an issue Elle especially likes.

GATSBY: What issue was that, Linkan? Spill, please... Hint

banning the death penalty

gay rights

enforcing Roe Vs. Wade

animal rights

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. GATSBY: It's not a small wonder that I have to bring up "Little Man Tate" now.

LINKAN: Loved that movie. Love Jodie Foster. Love her, love her, love her!

GATSBY: Clearly you love her, Linkan. Which of the following observations is NOT true about Miss Foster, though? Hint

Her birth name was actually Alicia Christian Foster.

She always admired the TV show "All In The Family".

Her first Oscar nomination came for playing a teenaged hooker.

Aside from commercials her first 'real' acting job was on "Mayberry RFD".

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. GATSBY: Once again, we agree on something, my dear. About movies that might have been better off being 'shorter'.

LINKAN: "Lord Of The Rings" tried your patience, too?

GATSBY: In no time flat, but I didn't much care for the books, either, but I must be careful saying that. People out there love 'em.

LINKAN: I'm one of those people, Gatsby. Just thought they could have shortened the trilogy a little.

GATSBY: Peter Jackson directed them all. Interesting, that, since his first directorial job was pretty insignificant in his career, Linkan.

LINKAN: Gotta start somewhere, Gats! What film was his first, out of these movies? Hint

Meet The Feebles

Bad Taste

Braindead

Heavenly Creatures

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. LINKAN: Oh, I didn't like this next 'little' movie you are about to address. Totally silly.

GATSBY: I thought you liked silly movies, Linkan.

LINKAN: Usually I do but this wasn't up my little rodent alley, my friend. Thus I'll give out a fun question with fun answers. What would you feed "Stuart Little", Gats?

GATSBY: 'Shortly' I'm likely going to be embarrassed to pick, aren't I Linkan? Hint

Martin Short's shorts. Why not?

One of Little Bo Peep's lost sheep. Depending on how hungry he is, of course.

Mouse food, of course. Stuart isn't fond of dog food. He might give a 'small' look at hamster food, though.

The legs on Little Richard's piano bench. A little fiber for his chipmunk belly.

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. LINKAN: Why do you ask such questions, Gats? All right, I'll answer 'em.

GATSBY: I was just wondering what song you liked best from "My Fair Lady", excluding "With A 'Little' Bit Of Luck", of course. By the way, that's not an invitation to start vocalizing again...

LINKAN: It really does bug you when I sing, doesn't it?

GATSBY: Is grass green? Do cows moo? *Gives Linkan a friendly hug anyway* Well, the song you liked is the only answer given that is really from the soundtrack from "My Fair Lady". I know you know already.

LINKAN: Let's see if anyone else does! Hint

I've Grown Accustomed to Her Body

On The Road Where You Live

Just You Wait

Show It To Me

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. LINKAN: Did you see that TV movie with Farah Fawcett "Small Sacrifices"?

GATSBY: Ugh. Yes I did - about a woman who shoots her three children! She gets hers in the end, though. It was based on a true story and starred the unpredictable Farrah Fawcett. I was wondering what your favorite Farrah project, besides that one, has been so far Linkan?

LINKAN: Easy one for me. That movie from 20 years ago where she's stuck with a brutally abusive husband. She was excellent in it and took dramatic revenge on him by the time it was over.

GATSBY: I think I know this one, Linkan! Which of these? Hint

Extremities

Justified Conclusions

Logan's Run

The Burning Bed

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. GATSBY: Awww. I asked your favorite 'little' boy in a movie and you picked "Simon Birch" (1981). Good choice, Linkan! Talk about short!

LINKAN: Poor guy. He wasn't supposed to live through his very first night, but he did.

GATSBY: The film was based on a book called "A Prayer For Owen Meany". Owen became Simon.

LINKAN: Who wrote that book, Gats? Hint

Colleen McCullough

Anne Tyler

Dean Koontz

John Irving

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. LINKAN: My favorite 'little' girl on the big screen? Easy one, Gats! It's Vada Sultenfuss.

GATSBY: Now there's a normal name for a pre-teen, eh? Sounds like a weed or something.

LINKAN: Nothing is normal for a little girl growing up in a funeral home. Never mind that she has a mother in Heaven, a dad who is an undertaker and a grandma a few seeds short of a watermelon.

GATSBY: ...and a friend who is allergic to basically everything. No wonder she's a bit fixated on the negative.

LINKAN: What film is it, Gats? Hint

My Life As A Dog

My Girl

Bastard Out Of Carolina

Mother, May I?

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. GATSBY: Hi ya, my right hand! LINKAN: Don't you mean left hand? That's where the wedding ring goes. Don't you remember all that tequila and our Vegas honeymoon? GATSBY: Yikes. I don't remember that at all! LINKAN: Just teasing you. We didn't even open the tequila. I wanted a 'little' sip but you said "no way!". GATSBY: Whew! We're talking about height impaired movie stuff today. Your favorite film with "Short" in the title is "Short Circuit". I never saw it, little buddy. So tell me something interesting about that 1986 flick, Linkan!

Answer: #5, that rascal robot, was originally conceived to be a villain, but that's when the whole movie was supposed to be a thriller. They made it much more a family adventure finally.

LINKAN: Little robots becoming feeling and emotional things! #5 (Johnny) was a hero, in my book. Broke free and went off and got a real life (which wasn't supposed to happen). This movie will make you happy, Gats!

GATSBY: *reading* Did you know the robots in it were designed after 'The Terminator'? Supposed to look just like Arnie did in that one.

LINKAN: That was when they were going to make the story scary. Initial ideas often change in Hollywood, and, what... you don't like Guttenberg? I think he's a cutie.

GATSBY: He's okay, always good to know that if he can be a movie star then any of us can.

2. GATSBY: Speaking of 'short', I know you like "The Wizard Of Oz"! Even I do! Imagine that! LINKAN: You like a fun fantasy movie, Gats? That's shocking. I loved those three little people (that's what they prefer to be called. No need to say "midgets", or even dwarves). GATSBY: They looked like mean little fellows to me, but they welcomed Dorothy quite nicely when she landed in Oz. LINKAN: *singing* "We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland!" GATSBY: Linkan, I'm 6'4". Were I in Oz I'm sure a falling house would find me quickly. Anyway, who was that trio that stompingly said 'hello' to Miss Gale?

Answer: The Lollipop Guild

LINKAN: I so love that movie and I just adored the Lollipop Guild.

GATSBY: In getting your answer I looked this up. Those three fellows actually had names! Gerard Marenghi, Kurt "Hairy Doll" Schneider and Jakob "Jackie" Gerlich.

LINKAN: I liked The Lullabye League, too.

GATSBY: So did I, but they didn't stomp and snarl.

3. LINKAN: My favorite little animal in a movie, you ask? I liked the little dog in "Legally Blonde"! GATSBY: That was a fun movie (much as I figured I wouldn't like it). The sequel wasn't too bad either - for a change. Reese Witherspoon is one of those young actresses who impresses me a lot. LINKAN: Me, too! In "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" her character, Elle Woods, leaves Harvard and heads to Washington to work with a congresswoman who champions an issue Elle especially likes. GATSBY: What issue was that, Linkan? Spill, please...

Answer: animal rights

GATSBY: Of course, in the first movie Elle was a sorority queen who gets dumped by her boyfriend and follows him to law school, anyway. Turned out she had a knack for legal stuff.

LINKAN: Serves him right. Men are beasts!

GATSBY: Oink, oink! Also, the whole film [the second one] was animal friendly even behind the scenes.

LINKAN: I heard about that. They were in a dither coming up with 40+ pairs of shoes that looked good and also contained no leather. I thought it a clever twist that the little doggie turned out to be gay, too.

GATSBY: I'd forgotten about that 'little' detail.

4. GATSBY: It's not a small wonder that I have to bring up "Little Man Tate" now. LINKAN: Loved that movie. Love Jodie Foster. Love her, love her, love her! GATSBY: Clearly you love her, Linkan. Which of the following observations is NOT true about Miss Foster, though?

Answer: She always admired the TV show "All In The Family".

LINKAN: What was wrong with "All In The Family"? *singing* 'Boy, the way Glenn Miller played! Songs that made The Hit Parade! Those were the days...'.

GATSBY: Golly, and I thought Edith Bunker was off-key! Actually Jodie thought the show was redundant and boring. I guess we're all entitled to an opinion.

LINKAN: "Little Man Tate" (1991) wasn't boring, that's for sure. A struggling single Mom with a young son who is a genius - what does she do? She wants him to enjoy his childhood while not missing the development of his gift.

GATSBY: Jodie directed herself in that one, too. Even risking to not show her character in always a flattering way. A risk taker. I like that about her.

LINKAN: Two Oscars under her belt, too, so far!

GATSBY: The youngest actress in history to pull off two Best Actress Academy Awards before reaching 30 years of age!

5. GATSBY: Once again, we agree on something, my dear. About movies that might have been better off being 'shorter'. LINKAN: "Lord Of The Rings" tried your patience, too? GATSBY: In no time flat, but I didn't much care for the books, either, but I must be careful saying that. People out there love 'em. LINKAN: I'm one of those people, Gatsby. Just thought they could have shortened the trilogy a little. GATSBY: Peter Jackson directed them all. Interesting, that, since his first directorial job was pretty insignificant in his career, Linkan. LINKAN: Gotta start somewhere, Gats! What film was his first, out of these movies?

Answer: Bad Taste

LINKAN: That could explain his general appearance. The man always looks like he just rolled out of bed! His wife and co-writer Fran could at least comb his hair for him.

GATSBY: "Bad Taste"(1976) was actually his second film but I didn't mention his first one. He made it when he was just a teenager in New Zealand. At least he was in his 20s when he did "Bad Taste".

LINKAN: What was the movie about, Gatsby?

GATSBY: Classic material. A small town population disappears and is replaced by aliens that chase humans for their intergalactic fast-food chain!

LINKAN: My turn to say "Yikes"!

GATSBY: By the way, Jackson directed all of the films mentioned.

6. LINKAN: Oh, I didn't like this next 'little' movie you are about to address. Totally silly. GATSBY: I thought you liked silly movies, Linkan. LINKAN: Usually I do but this wasn't up my little rodent alley, my friend. Thus I'll give out a fun question with fun answers. What would you feed "Stuart Little", Gats? GATSBY: 'Shortly' I'm likely going to be embarrassed to pick, aren't I Linkan?

Answer: Mouse food, of course. Stuart isn't fond of dog food. He might give a 'small' look at hamster food, though.

GATSBY: A mouse moves into the house! Woo hoo. Better than a bat nesting in the hat, isn't it, Linkan?

LINKAN: The only good thing about that movie is that Michael J. Fox voiced that animated beast.

GATSBY: I loved your answers, though. How funny!

LINKAN: I offer a giggle here and there where I can. No sense in being gloomy ALL the time!

GATSBY: Well said.

7. LINKAN: Why do you ask such questions, Gats? All right, I'll answer 'em. GATSBY: I was just wondering what song you liked best from "My Fair Lady", excluding "With A 'Little' Bit Of Luck", of course. By the way, that's not an invitation to start vocalizing again... LINKAN: It really does bug you when I sing, doesn't it? GATSBY: Is grass green? Do cows moo? *Gives Linkan a friendly hug anyway* Well, the song you liked is the only answer given that is really from the soundtrack from "My Fair Lady". I know you know already. LINKAN: Let's see if anyone else does!

Answer: Just You Wait

LINKAN: * 'Just you wait, Henry 'iggins, just you wait!' *

GATSBY: He waited. He grated. They dated. They mated. He rated! I wonder if George Bernard Shaw ever partly imagined that his stage play "Pygmalion" (1916) would turn out a classic musical some 50 years later? By the way the optional song titles given were close but no cigar.

LINKAN: Yes. It's "On The STREET Where You Live", "Show Me" and "I've Grown Accustomed To Her FACE", for the record.

GATSBY: I've certainly grown accustomed to your face, Linkan!

8. LINKAN: Did you see that TV movie with Farah Fawcett "Small Sacrifices"? GATSBY: Ugh. Yes I did - about a woman who shoots her three children! She gets hers in the end, though. It was based on a true story and starred the unpredictable Farrah Fawcett. I was wondering what your favorite Farrah project, besides that one, has been so far Linkan? LINKAN: Easy one for me. That movie from 20 years ago where she's stuck with a brutally abusive husband. She was excellent in it and took dramatic revenge on him by the time it was over. GATSBY: I think I know this one, Linkan! Which of these?

Answer: The Burning Bed

GATSBY: She set him ablaze while was sleeping? Yikes, that IS drastic!

LINKAN: He deserved it. He was just an animal! Ever been to a pig roast, Gats?

GATSBY: Never to one where the pig had two legs! I guess he had it coming...

LINKAN: In the 1984 film she was acquitted.

GATSBY: A mercy killing, in a way, I reckon. I still say OUCH, though.

LINKAN: Fawcett IS a bit of a character, isn't she? Even in real life.

GATSBY: Who didn't have that 70s poster or venerate that haircut?

LINKAN: Me!

9. GATSBY: Awww. I asked your favorite 'little' boy in a movie and you picked "Simon Birch" (1981). Good choice, Linkan! Talk about short! LINKAN: Poor guy. He wasn't supposed to live through his very first night, but he did. GATSBY: The film was based on a book called "A Prayer For Owen Meany". Owen became Simon. LINKAN: Who wrote that book, Gats?

Answer: John Irving

GATSBY: It was a good story. Poor Joe, Simon's friend, his mother was killed by a runaway softball (which Simon had hit) before Joe learned his father's identity.

LINKAN: Young Birch, who already thought he had been let to live by God because there was a mission for him, decided that it was to help young Joe find out who his daddy was, and off they go.

GATSBY: 'Small' stature. Big heart. Did you know that John Irving sold the film rights to his book under the condition that they change Owen Meany's name. In fact, Irving picked the moniker Simon Birch.

LINKAN: Did they ever find Joe's papa?

GATSBY: I'll never tell, Miss Spoil-It-For Everybody! *Grins*

10. LINKAN: My favorite 'little' girl on the big screen? Easy one, Gats! It's Vada Sultenfuss. GATSBY: Now there's a normal name for a pre-teen, eh? Sounds like a weed or something. LINKAN: Nothing is normal for a little girl growing up in a funeral home. Never mind that she has a mother in Heaven, a dad who is an undertaker and a grandma a few seeds short of a watermelon. GATSBY: ...and a friend who is allergic to basically everything. No wonder she's a bit fixated on the negative. LINKAN: What film is it, Gats?

Answer: My Girl

LINKAN: Such an unhappy story. Poor girl gets even more disrupted when a make-up expert moves into the picture to help her dad present corpses.

GATSBY: What a job! Personally I'd rather sling hamburgers, but don't the two adults fall in love?

LINKAN: Yes, they do, and Vada decides she'd have none of that and goes about putting a stop to it.

GATSBY: That 1991 film starred Anna Chlumsky, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis and Macaulay Culkin. A very bittersweet adventure. Your still 'My Girl', aren't you Linkan?

LINKAN: Of course I am! Like a tick on the family dog.

GATSBY: Who is which?

LINKAN: Doesn't matter. Let's go play some blackjack! Hope you all enjoyed our 'little' adventure!
