Movie Trivia #4 of 4

First up, the answers from last week.  The quotes came from:  The Lion in Winter, A Raisin in the Sun, Doubt, Steel Magnolias, On Golden Pond, Dinner at Eight.  The common thread is that these were all stage productions adapted for film.  I thought this was a toughie, but one person did get them all right, including the common thread.  Congratulations to Shelrie Smith!  Shelrie will choose which Bunderful Books eBook she would like (including a future book)


It's time for the last set of questions to wrap up this year's Movie Trivia.  First, a recap of the way it works:

You'll have until 11:59PM Central Time on Saturday, 03/01/14, to get in your answers for this final week.  ANSWERS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY EMAIL, NOT HERE (address below). But first, a little bit about the rules, which are different from previous years (because I no longer have time to keep a running tally of scores):

1) Winners cannot play again. The winner will be announced on Oscar night, 03/02/14, sometime during the Red Carpet pre-show.


2) One name will be drawn from all correct responses (of all questions). If only one set of correct answers, that person will win by default. If there are no sets of complete answers, winner will be chosen from the next total number of correct answers (i.e., people who only missed one question, people who only missed two questions, etc.). So don't let not knowing an answer or two prevent you from playing!

 

Winners can choose any Bunderful Books eBook except for my three-book bundle. Winners have the option of choosing a complimentary download of my next release (most likely to be Love Will Grow). Formats available are MOBI, EPUB, and PDF. Winners will be announced here and will also be notified by email, at which time they will be asked to name the eBook they want for their prize.
 

4) Do not post answers here...email them to contests @ bettyegriffin.com (no spaces in email addy).

Here's are this week's questions, which, like previous weeks, are all movie quotes. Remember, DO NOT POST ANSWERS HERE!! Email them to contests @ bettyegriffin.com (no spaces in email addy). Good luck!
---------------
1)  Man:  "She’s different."
His buddy:  "Does she have a penis where most girls have a vagina?"
Man:  "No penis."
His buddy:  "Then she's no different."


2) “It’s kind of like the hokey-pokey for black people.”

3) “Blogging is not writing. It's just graffiti with punctuation.”

4) “You the little seizure boy that's having seizures all the time!”

5) Question:  “Why am I Pluto? It's not even a planet anymore!”
Answer:  "Well, Uranus is still available."

6) Flight Attendant:  "You have three seconds to get back to your seat."
Passenger:  "No one can get anywhere in three seconds. You're setting me up for a loss already."

7) What is the common thread for these movies?

But first, a little bit about the rules, which are different from previous years (because I no longer have time to keep a running tally of scores):

1) Four weekly contests to be held, with questions posted on the Bunderful Books Facebook wall, as well as my blog (or possibly only on my blog if photos or music clips; a link will be provided in that case) on 02/02, 02/09, 02/16, and 02/23. Winners cannot play again. The previous week's winner will be announced at the same time new questions are posted, with the last winner announced on Oscar night, 03/02/14.

So don't let not knowing an answer or two prevent you from playing!
