🆒 The fun never stops. Once on threadspotting and 20 pages later: Time for Part VII Here we will follow the same format as the first six.

HF\_2: A Christmas Story (shooting eye out/Peter Billingsley) HF\_3: Hollow Man? (stepping quietly/Kevin Bacon) Here are my outstanding entries from the previous thread, some restated and all renumbered. Since they were stumping people, I added second parts to each clue. TE1: Everything I needed to know about female anatomy and sexual response I learned from Pauline Collins. TE2: Everything I needed to know about dealing with unwanted rodents and hiding in totally obvious places I learned from Bridget Fonda TE3: Everything I needed to know about being a snooty receptionist and giving subtle applause I learned from Lucy Lee Flippin TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy TE5: Everything I needed to know about unbeatable football defense and adoration of a much older man I learned from Mariel Hemingway ---

You got HF\_2 (A Christmas Story) correct but not HF\_3, **TeaElle**. Kevin Bacon stepping quietly is a key survival technique throughout the movie I’m thinking of (but Hollow Man was a good guess). TE5 = Star80? Personal Best? ---

TE4 is _not_ “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” TE5 is \*not[/] “Star 80” “Personal Best” or “Manhattan” 😃 * * * HF\_1: **How The Grinch Stole Christmas** (despising/Boris Karloff) HF\_4: Is that **Weird Science**?

I’ve been banging my head against the John Candy one for a week now, so this is my last guess, **Teaelle**. TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy Is it _Armed and Dangerous_? ---

I guess my questions from the last quiz are beyond hope. Here are a couple of new ones that maybe won’t be so obscure. Sub 1: Everything I need to know about using pocket change, I learned from John Candy. Sub 2: Everything I need to know about push-ups, I learned from Christopher Walken ---

Ack, I posted too soon! Here are the answers to my questions that were left over from the previous quiz. Sub\_2: Everything I need to know about going to the moon I learned from James Caan _Countdown_ Sub\_3: Everything I need to know identifying ninjas who are half-Chinese I learned from Joan Chen _The Hunted_ Sub5: Everything I need to know about having lesbian sex with Anne Heche, I learned from Joan Chen. And then I rewound it a few times just to make sure I’d learned it thoroughly. _The Wild Side_ ---

A very wild guess: GQ 10- All I need to know about civil war, I learned from Richard Burton. _The Comedians_? ---

**Sublight** , it ain’t “Armed and Dangerous.” I suppose it might help if I added this. TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy, and in that same flick, Tovah Feldshuh taught me everything I needed to know about places to be when dying.
