    You cheated on that one! :)
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    how would knowing the answer be cheating? I musta cheated at Star wars trivial pursuit as well... remember the only thing I'm good for is uselss knowledge, and Ive got plenty of that!!!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I dunno, you had the name down and everything.

    Did you ever see the movie really? :)

    (And you are a nerd, that's why you won at SW trivial pursuit!)
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the vote of integrity...

    saw the movie...

    Heres my Trivia question...
    What was the dogs name on the brady bunch...?
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Pshaw. That's not even a question.

    Tiger.

    He was also the star of A Boy and His Dog (Blood), but when LQ Jones offered to buy him when filming was done - just so this wonderful dog who he believed had made his movie better by his performance could retire - the trainers said no. Then poor Tiger got run over by a truck.

    Never ask about Tiger in the presence of Harlan Ellison fans. Or Brady Bunch fans. And DEFINITELY not in the presence of someone who's both!!!

    Actually no, its Cindy!! =D
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Someone give that man a point!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Point given, hilarious :)
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    OMG, you are seriously insane for knowing all that :)
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    yeah never woulda known that... well done! thatll teach me to ask a question!
  • ScottyDub · 1 year ago
    A good f/u would be which Miami Vice star played opposite the dog in A Boy and his Dog?
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Well, clearly if I know LQ Jones wrote and directed and who played Blood, *I* know who played Vic. But it's not a bad Q for someone else. :)
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    In The Sure Thing, when they started the cross country trip they were in a carpool. Who played the showtune-singing man in the car?

    Bonus question: who was "The Sure Thing"?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    What band was playing live at the end of the movie Swingers?

  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Someone give the lady a point!
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    answer - whoever it was doing the music, duh!
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    I haven't seen it in a couple years, but I'm going to guess...The Cherry Poppin Daddies?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    No, but close
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Here's a tougher one. On Sports Night Dana had an idiotic plan forcing Casey to date other women. Those dates went poorly. He dated one pretty perky blond girl and talked about Dana the whole time. In a later episode he ran into the pretty perky blond girl and flirted with her, realizing she was actually interesting.

    What was her unusual name?
    Bonus: who played her date that night when Casey gave her his number?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Pixley!

    Tom Cavanagh!

    I love Sports Night!
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Awesome!

    As much as I'd have dug Dana, if Pixley had come along I'm not sure I'd have remembered Dana's name.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Agreed
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Never saw any sports nights...
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I taketh away a point from thee!
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Here's a tough one (I think). Easy with Google or IMDB, hard without. Jon Favreau's producing partner is most famous for a movie in which he once acted.

    Who is he and what's the name of the movie?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Without looking up, I can only say either Ron Livingston or Vince Vaughn, but I know I'm wrong.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    didnt look it up im guessing...
    Daredevil - ben Affleck
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Coolio, I've got a question holding up against the onslaught, at least for the moment. So here's another one:

    What job did Joe have in Joe vs. the Volcano *before* working in the crappy office at the beginning?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Only saw that movie once.
