Is that a typo and you meant “before 1990”? Otherwise it conflicts with #10.

146

DQ1: Movie was part of a series?
DQ2: Movie was set on Earth?

Right you are, CFOHG. Sorry about that.

That’s it for DQs. Tawk amongst yourselves, and then please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by 4pm EST tomorrow.

148

Are you Sam Lowry, played by Jonathan Pryce in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil?

(Going with Gilliam being American-born, although I believe he is now a British citizen and renounced his US citizenship about 20 years ago)

149

Not Sam Beckett, 'cause Quantum Leap was TV.
Not Seymour from LSOH; not Snake Pliskin; not Simon (from Simon).

Thinking…

150

I stalled on Sallah from the Indiana Jones series.

151

This is most probably wrong.

DQ: Are you Dr. Sidney “New Jersey” Zweibel from Buckaroo Banzai?

152

Dingdingding! I am indeed

Sam Lowry

Well done, CFOHG! I saw that movie again recently and it’s still terrific (especially Robert De Niro as, of all things, a commando plumber): Brazil (1985) - Jonathan Pryce as Sam Lowry - IMDb

I did Sallah in a previous Botticelli round, as it happens.

153

Very nice, Chock!

It’s been too long since I’ve seen Brazil.

154

Cool. After all these years I still haven’t gotten around to seeing the original cut. I saw the 132 minute US theatrical cut twice in its original run. Decided against watching the Shienberg cut when it was on TV a few years later.

Next up…L

155

Never heard of him.

Or it.

156

IQ1: Were you an adventurous but strange Ravenclaw?
IQ2: Were you #1’s best-known relative?
IQ3: Did you play #1?

157

Not Luna Lovegood
Can’t remember the dad’s name - DQ
Not Evana Lynch

158

Correct on all three. His name was Xenophilus, but you obviously knew his ‘L’ name, which is what counts. No DQ.


IQ1: Were you the baddest man in the whole damn’ town?
IQ2-3: Were you a pirate who didn’t do anything?

159

Not Bad Bad Leroy Brown
Take 2 DQs

160

Congrats!

  1. Were you of Verlaine, and did you marry Koris?
  2. Were you Tony Geary’s most famous role?
  3. Are you Genie Francis’s most famous role?
