> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Muddy \* > \*\*ED2: is it “Freaked” ED4: Four Rooms ED5: Requiem for a Dream ED6: Eric the Viking \*\* Four Rooms, Requiem for a Dream, and Erik the Viking are all obviously correct. (Damn, thought Erik would be tougher than that…you guys are good!) But “Freaked” is incorrect.

Crap, just noticed that there’s another ED in this thread, so I’ll use different initials for any new ones I give, such as: LSD1: All I know about killing dogs I learned from Michael Douglas LSD2: All I know about key parties I learned from Sigourney Weaver …which brings me to… ED\_2: Everything I needed to know about dock work, I learned from Sigourney Weaver. **Aliens** ---

**Ellis Dee** : You’re right on _Tootsie_ (TE3) but wrong on the other two (TE2 and TE4). These two are guesses: ED1: Die Hard (childrens’ books/Alan Rickman)? LSD1: Falling Down (killing dogs/Michael Douglas)? ---

CP2: Quick Change (though I see on review that I’ve been beaten to it) CP3: Being There CP5: Dressed to Kill LSD1: Wonder Boys? ED3: Killing Zoe Two of mine are still up for grabs: Sub2: Everything I know about moonwalking, I learned from James Caan Sub3: Everything I know about ninjas, I learned from Joan Chen And a couple of new ones: Sub4: Everything I know about putting a dog’s skull on a spike, I learned from Joan Chen Sub5: Everything I know about Anne Heche, I learned from Joan Chen I learned a lot from Joan Chen. ---

TE4 is wrong? For real? I’m stunned. I’d start listing off random Kristy Swanson movies, (I’m a big fan of hers), but I don’t recognize the reference from any of them (that I’ve seen) and won’t taint the game with IMDB. **Die Hard** and **Falling Down** are both wrong. (Die Hard?! hehheh) ED3 is indeed **Killing Zoe** LSD1 should have no “?”…it is quite clearly **Wonder Boys** * * * ARG\_4: everything i needed to know about botany i learned from claire danes **Brokedown Palace** (such a better song than movie) ---

Hmmm…it does get messy quick in this game. Mine that have yet to be answered, plus a couple new ones: ED1: All I know about children’s books I learned from Alan Rickman ED2: All I know about documentaries I learned from Brooke Shields LSD2: All I know about key parties I learned from Sigourney Weaver LSD3: All I know about aliens I learned from Brent Spiner LSD4: All I know about reproducing I learned from Gary Shandling LSD5: All I know about the many-worlds theory I learned from Gwyneth Paltrow LSD6: All I know about apples I learned from Annette Bening (_horrible_ movie) ---
