Scribe & Green on the BIG screen

There are far too many people out there writing “reviews of movie-films & articles about them with absolutely no clue what the hell they’re talking about." Here are 2 more of them! (Well, one of us knows what the h___ we're talking about, but we'll leave it up to you to decide who that is...) Ultimately, can two people as opposite as Scribe and Green agree on anything?? That's where the fun begins. Won't you join us? (Every now and then we'll add a guest review, just for kicks.)

A Trivial Matter

We thought it'd be fun to throw a little trivia your way to see how smart you are about the movies you watch and we review. Or could possibly review, someday.

Here are 20 trivia questions plus a bonus question. Write your answers in a comment for this post. In a week or so, I'll leave the answers in a comment, once I've given everyone who wants to play a chance to play. Depending on the level of participation and the skill at which we judge how much your mind is filled with useless crap - er, movie knowledge, there may be a prize involved. Maybe.

Are you ready?

I didn't say the trivia would be easy! Most of the questions I got from the "Scene It?" Movie Trivia calendar.

Answer what you know and guess at the rest!
