Tried Sporcle. First one is Inglorious Basterds. One of my very favorites: gonna nail it.

Get to 17/20; am forced to click Give Up. Doesn't show me the three I missed. Clicked around more; no luck.

I try it again. Answers are wiped so I start from scratch. After 15, right answers are now wrong. Whuh? Oh, now the movie is Lord of the Rings.

Since I started this comment, the movie switched to Tombstone. Only 7 minutes into 20 minute timer. My 15 Basterds names are still green (correct).

This game is total shit.

Sonnenfeld’s book also tells of his wedding at the wrap party for MILLER’S CROSSING. It was on a riverboat and Albert Finney bought a huge barge filled with fireworks to celebrate the nuptials. Sonnenfeld said that he ran into Finney years later and he asked if they were still married. When Barry said yes, Albert responded “good, because those fireworks cost a fortune!”

I never thought I'd see more connections in The Big Lebowski but the checkbook scribbles bring the Jackie Treehorn notepad to mind. Maybe no huge revelations after 30 years, but nice little ones.
