Is it a documentary? A feature film? Nah, its a commercial, but a lovely piece of work nonetheless, with a great understated comic performance by Martin Scorsese.
Which brings me on...some of you might have wondered about the somewhat opaque blog post titles in the past few weeks. Well, they're all quotes (er, except the first question) from movies, carefully laid down in preparation for the
SionPhoto Kristmazz Kwizz!
By way of a clue, each blog post title does have something in some way, to do with the content of post itself, so bonus points for anyone figuring out what those links are, with some other bonus questions thrown in if they come to me while typing.
The prize? I was gonna offer up a bottle of that Scorsese bubbly, but was worried about the bottle exploding in the post (or it being drunk by me first...) so, I'll think o' summat else.
Without any further ado - the Kwizz Kweschuns...
An easy one first - which movie is this from?
Which legendary director directed this movie? Which actor utters the above line before plunging to his doom?
3/ Oh, I'm a Funny Guy? Like a Clown? I AMOOZ You?
This quote is too well known...so...what was the name of the man who was killed by the character who utters this line, and whose death later causes his murderer to be assassinated?
4/ How Does He Get His Copy Out? Specially Trained Hens.
Which photojournalist speaks this line, in which film? And (Fiendish Bonus Question) why did he go on to vote for George W. Bush?
5/ They Won't Want us To Ask 'Em. They'll Just Want Us To Get It For 'Em...
Which movie? What connects this movie to Flash Gordon? And why does the above line uttered in the film have so much relevance today?
6/ If anyone approaches, you shout "Halt, Who Goes There" and take down their credentials...
Which British TV show was this movie made from (Clue: Tony Benn mentions it in his interview)?
7/ I Dont Take Sides. I Take Pictures.
Which photojournalist character utters this line while in jail? And (Fiendish Bonus Question) what language does he speak it in?
8/ Don't lets spoil everything. We've only just met. No, we haven't met. You've never seen met.

9/ Who in God's name has automatic rifles? Dashed unsporting. Probably Belgian.
Who is the author of the graphic novel, which was adpated into the movie from which this line is taken? Whats the name of film?
And finally...
10/ Tell me exactly what you saw and what you think it means...
The Scorsese commercial makes visual references to many Hitchcock films - who speaks this line? What's the name of the press photographer in the flick?
And what links that movie snapper to the author of this blog?
Thats it! Send your answers to

If nobody answers? Erm...the whole thing will be quietly buried and conveniently forgotten like a reality show voting scandal, or the invasion of Afghanistan.
