TOTW 15/08: Confetti Quiz

[Penthesilea]

Happy New Week BetterMostians! 


Let's try something new this week. We'll do a quiz, but I won't provide the questions, and there will be no virtual prizes to be won this time (and no real ones either ).

I'll start with the first question. If you know the answer, post it, then ask another question in the same post. Please mark your answers with a bold A and the new question with a bold Q.

Questions must refer to the movie or SS. They may be easy or hard, they may be about hard facts, like numbers, dates, colors, or for example about a character's motivation/feelings – anything you can imagine. It may be something you know the answer to, or actually something you never quite managed to figure out, but never got around to open a thread about it. Or something to which there is no real, definite answer (eg asking for an opinion). You get the picture.

Answers should be given to your best knowledge in general, but humor is welcome, too. After all, this should be fun.

I have no idea into what direction this will evolve – if it will work at all. But it sure won't work without your collaboration! Let's just try it and see how many Q/A we can get in one week!

(BTW I named the quiz Confetti Quiz because the questions/topics may become motley like confetti – if it sounds strange to you, please bear with your nonnative mod )

[Penthesilea]

Q: How much is the honey, actually?

[belbbmfan]

Q: How much is the honey, actually?

A: 1,49 dollars




Q: Why were the soup boxes hard to pack?

==aside== Great quiz Chrissi!

[Front-Ranger]

A: The soup boxes were not hard to pack, they were BAD to pack, according to the bandy-legged Basque. And the reason they are bad to pack is because, well, soup in boxes? In saddlebags on mules? That could be a big mess!! Especially if you come upon a bear!! Better stick with beans!!


Q: Why didn't Ma Twist ever tell Jack what the Pentecost was?

[Ellemeno]

Q: Why didn't Ma Twist ever tell Jack what the Pentecost was?

A: Maybe she told him, but being Jack, he just heard what he wanted to hear.


Q: Did Cassie ever figure it out?

[southendmd]

Q: Did Cassie ever figure it out?

A: No.  The "He's not the marrying kind" comment went right over her head.

Q: Who wrote "Water-Walking Jesus"?

[Brown Eyes]

A: No.  The "He's not the marrying kind" comment went right over her head.

Q: Who wrote "Water-Walking Jesus"?

A: Well, from the google search I just did... this is the answer I came up with...

Great answer, Chris!

I think it is a Rambler, it looks like the word "Rambler" is written on the rear of the vehicle.

the head of a baby Big Horn lamb is nailed to Aguirre's wall.

Q:  We still have an extra question floating back there from Janice, let's do that one - How many times did Jack's low startle mare turn, in a circle?

[Front-Ranger]

A: A telephone.

Technically, (or is that teleconnectly?) I guess you are right. But, what I meant was, what connects Aguirre's head and his desk SYMBOLICALLY in the story?? Care to guess again?

[belbbmfan]

Ash?

[Front-Ranger]

Ash?

Yes, definitely, Fabienne, his hair was the colour of ash and the bakelite ashtray on his desk was brimming with cigarette ashes. Brilliant!!

[brokeplex]

Yes, definitely, Fabienne, his hair was the colour of ash and the bakelite ashtray on his desk was brimming with cigarette ashes. Brilliant!!

wow, that went over my head. I'm curious, how do "ashes" connect Aguirre, the Jack/Ennis "wedding" scene and the story. There is a line in the ss about his hair being the color of cigarette ashes, but I suspect that you are making a deeper point here. 

[southendmd]

I agree with the Rambler, but I thought it was a "jackelope" on Aguirre's wall.

[brokeplex]

I agree with the Rambler, but I thought it was a "jackelope" on Aguirre's wall.

what is a jackelope? I called up some pics of a Big Horn lamb and it sure looks like the trophy on Aguirre's wall.

here is a link to the Big Horn sheep interpretive center in Dubois.

I could have sworn it was a jackalope, common to Colorado and Wyoming.

Finally!  I found the screen cap:



Could be a bighorn lamb, after all.  I guess Aguirre wouldn't have a sense of humor, hunh?

ok, I thought you were being serious about the "jackalope" animal. I fell for the joke.

But, all kidding aside, I think the trophy really is a Big Horn lamb head.

We haven't really delved into it. I was hoping we'd get around to talking about ashes on the "Smokes and Fire" thread, but not yet. We did start to discuss the hair here:

http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,3130.msg360431.html#msg360431

Paull, maybe BOTH heads are on the wall...I would have sworn I saw a jackelope too!

very interesting discussion on that thread. I looked at it, but to be honest nothing leapt out at me about the cigarette ashes or his gray hair. I may have missed something as there are really interesting comments. I liked the comments about the what I see as the "film noir" elements of light and shadow, venetian blinds, Ennis into the light and Jack into the dark. very clever! I love film noir, I even put up a thumbnail of "Double Indemnity" on my profile.

[Brown Eyes]

Finally!  I found the screen cap:

I'm curious about the suggestion that this could be a creature called a "bighorn lamb" as pictured here.  Why on earth would someone put the head of a lamb on their wall?  It's not like it's a buck with huge antlers or something.  To me it seems particularly sad to have such a small creature... a lamb even on one's wall.  Is this the first reference to the "sacrificial" lamb that comes up again following TS1 and in the guise of Earl and Jack metaphorically?

So, it's been mentioned (brilliantly) in the past that Jack's Lightning Flat bedroom is a microcosm of the whole movie or at least of the Brokeback summer (the white sloping walls equate to the white sloping canvas of the tent, etc., etc.).  Is it possible that Aguirre's office is also a microcosm of the movie?  Is Aguirre's office the bookend/ mirror scene to Jack's Lightning Flat bedroom?

Sorry to go off-topic here.

I'm delighted that you went off topic. When I saw what I believed to be the head of a lamb on the wall of Farm and Ranch Employment, I felt saddened and forwarned that Aguirre wouldn't be the sensitive type who had any sympathy for Jack and Ennis. It does make a statement to offer the head of a "baby" as a trophy.

Is Aguirre's office / parking lot a microcosm of the scope of the film? I don't know, but it is worth discussing on another thread.

[Ellemeno]

Okay, good topic, but can we go back to the confetti quiz?  (Should we split the Aguirre's trailer topic off for continued discussion?)

Q:  What did Ennis and Jack do with the remains of the giant elk?

[Penthesilea]

Friends, this is a Jackalope on Aguirre's wall. This is not a lamb, never in my life! It's a jackrabbit with assembled "horns". Jackalopes come in different sizes and shapes, just do a quick google image search.
This is the head of a rabbit, a mountain hare (Lepus timidus, sometimes also called arctic hare) to be exact.

I've enlarged the jackalope, therefore it's not very sharp. But have a look at the form of the head, at the muzzle - and don't forget the ears. White with a black tip, as the winter coat of a mountain hare is.
His right ear (left from us) hangs to the side of the head, the left ear is behind the left "horn".
And have a look at the "horns"; they're totally different from sheep horns.




A mountain hare to compare:



Hi Elle! Your post came in while I was typing. Sorry to be OT once more. Splitting the topic might be a good idea, I'll have a look later.

[Ellemeno]

I'm enjoying the jackalope discussion, I just also am excited about the confetti quiz. 

[belbbmfan]

Okay, good topic, but can we go back to the confetti quiz?  (Should we split the Aguirre's trailer topic off for continued discussion?)

Q:  What did Ennis and Jack do with the remains of the giant elk?

A: bury it?  Just to make sure Game and Fish didn't catch them with no elk.

[brokeplex]

God. Who could cut the HEAD off a lamb and then stick it on their wall?   

I never DID like Aguirre. He makes me mad! 




We're all etitled to our opinions, correct? 

yep, or who would cut off the head of a rabbit and stick it on their wall? I think rabbits are sweet inoffensive creatures. If this pic is of a Jackalope, then that is evidence of animal mutilation. Kill two animals and sew and glue their parts together and hang it on the wall. Gawd! To me that is just a sick as using a lamb's head as a trophy.

shouldn't trophies really be only of predators which are capable of killing the hunter? as a matter of fact, why is it such a great honor to have a trophy of an inoffensive herbivorous deer on the wall anyway?

[brokeplex]

Okay, good topic, but can we go back to the confetti quiz?  (Should we split the Aguirre's trailer topic off for continued discussion?)

Q:  What did Ennis and Jack do with the remains of the giant elk?

A- they dried part of the meat, roasted part of the meat, and buried the rest. sorry no trophy for Aguirre's wall.

Q- In what make of cattle truck does Ennis hitch a ride into Signal in 1963?

[Penthesilea]

Q- In what make of cattle truck does Ennis hitch a ride into Signal in 1963?

A: A Kenworth.

That was a hard one for someone living in Europe (and apparently not only for me, since the question remained unanswered for two days).
I'll go with something easier:


Q: Which of his two shirts did Ennis wear in TS1?

[brokeplex]

A: A Kenworth.

I'll go with something easier:


Q: Which of his two shirts did Ennis wear in TS1?

very good, yes the truck is a "KW" by Kenworth, or a "K-Whopper" as it is affectionately known by those who drive them. A bit of further trivia. the KW truck pictured in the film was not in use on the roads until the mid to late 1970's. So, using this truck in the section of the film set in 1963 is a error on the part of the crew in the film. It still looks good anyway! 

[belbbmfan]

Very true. I tried to find an answer but I just gave up. Chrissi, you know your American trucks!

Well, that was new to me. But you're right, the truck looks good. I guess when us Europeans think about an American truck, this is what comes to mind.

What made you think it's a cattle truck? I looked at some stills but I couldn't figure it out. 

[brokeplex]

the trailer on the back appears to be designed for hauling livestock - multiple siding holes for vents, and what appears to be a collapsable side. it could be a sheep truck as well, but it just looked to me like it was designed with one level for cattle, rather than two levels for sheep. 

are Kenworth trucks not sold in the European market?

[Penthesilea]

Nope. They do have a manufactory in Australia, but nothing in Europe. Would be too expensive to ship them.
I had never heard of KW before. I found a list of important truck manufactorers in the US on wikipedia and recognizeed the KW sign.

I agree about the truck probably being a cattle truck. On the side sticks something out what appears to be straw, but it gets too blurred  when you zoom in, so I'm not sure.

I don't know if you can buy them here, but I've never seen one. A 'normal' European truck would look something like this:



In fact, when I saw one of those big 'American' trucks in Canada last year I couldn't help but take a picture.

look at the signage on the building behind. the "loose moose" next to "jack astors". somehow that sounds brokebackish. is this pic taken in Canada? perhaps in Calgary?   

[belbbmfan]

It was taken in Toronto. And I only now realized that Jack Astor's was next door.  I like the name 'the loose moose'. Pitty it wasn't 'elk' though.

exactly correct, bel. 

I know the answer to your question, but I am going to let someone else answer. I've already been an eager student showing off my brokie trivia obsessions.

"here teacher, look at me" as I wave my hand to get attention!

Q:  The name of what Manhattan borough is to be found in the credits of the movie?

a- Brooklyn - Annie Proulx granddaughter, named Brooklyn plays one of the Delmar girls.

q- does the particular sorority that Lashawn Malone belonged to at SMU have a certain "reputation"? and is the film making a further comment on LaShawn in that brief interaction with Lureen at the table of the 1978 charity dance?  any ex sorority women out there who know what I am talking about, esp anyone who attended university here in TX?

[Meryl]

a- Brooklyn - Annie Proulx granddaughter, named Brooklyn plays one of the Delmar girls.

Brooklyn is correct.  However, I thought I read somewhere that Brooklyn Proulx was no relation to Annie.  Do you have the real skinny?

A:  Just a guess, based on my own sorority experience:  Tri Delt (Delta Delta Delta) most likely had the "party girls" and Kappa Phi the more well-to-do girls who liked to lay claim to a bit more sophistication.  Depending on your priorities, both were good houses to be a member of.  Lureen most likely had the edge in the competition, though.  It's very likely not an accident that those two sororities were chosen by our detail-conscious screenwriters and director.

Q:  Who supplied Alma's wedding dress?

J.C Penney supplied the dress.

[Meryl]

Yes, according to the screenplay, Alma's dress was from J. C. Penney.  I've never seen a source for Ennis's suit.  Will be interested to know the answer to that one. 

[Brown Eyes]

Yes, according to the screenplay, Alma's dress was from J. C. Penney.  I've never seen a source for Ennis's suit.  Will be interested to know the answer to that one. 

Oops!!  I hadn't remembered that the dress was actually referenced somewhere.  I thought that was a "creative answer" type of question.

[Shakesthecoffecan]

The suit was a hand-me-down from K.E., who wore it at his wedding. Remember in the wedding scene the best man guy standing next to Ennis- that's him-no suit. 

[optom3]

Yes, according to the screenplay, Alma's dress was from J. C. Penney.  I've never seen a source for Ennis's suit.  Will be interested to know the answer to that one. 

No idea about the suit,it just says Ennis is wearing a new jacket and a bolo tie What the heck is a bolo tie, or is that a misprint in my screenplay.

[Meryl]

No idea about the suit,it just says Ennis is wearing a new jacket and a bolo tie What the heck is a bolo tie, or is that a misprint in my screenplay.

Here's what a bolo tie looks like.  They must have changed their minds about the bolo tie for the wedding, because he's wearing a normal necktie in the screencaps.

[optom3]

Here's what a bolo tie looks like.  They must have changed their minds about the bolo tie for the wedding, because he's wearing a normal necktie in the screencaps.

Q:  Who supplied Alma's wedding dress?

I read somewhere that Brooklyn is AP's granddaughter, maybe in "Getting Movied"? or one of AP's interviews.

you are exactly correct, Tri Delts were the party girls in the sorority scene in Texas universities n the 1970's and 1980's, maybe they still are! Kappa Phi's were more straight laced, not necessarily better off financially, just prim and proper. You are correct, McMurtry understands the Greek scene at UT and SMU very well, and threw those comments in the dialog to suggest a tension between Lureen and Lashawn.

[southendmd]

A complete OT aside, but there was a recurring skit on Saturday Night Live that took place in a sorority.

When the phone rang, the Tri Delt member answered, "Delta Delta Delta, can I helpya helpya helpya?"

[southendmd]

We need a new question!

Q: Why did Old Man Twist spit into his coffee cup?

[Front-Ranger]

Q: Why did Old Man Twist spit into his coffee cup?

A: Ostensibly to express his disgust with Ennis and his ilk. But, really, to dispose of the cherry pit from the cake!

Q: Why did Cassie and Carl change their minds about taking a bus after Cassie spotted Ennis?

[southendmd]

Q: Why did Cassie and Carl change their minds about taking a bus after Cassie spotted Ennis?

A:  Because Cassie hauled Carl to Vegas for a quickie wedding (by plane)!  She wadn't getting anywhere with Ennis.

Q:  How did Jack eventually find that blue parka?

[Penthesilea]

Q:  How did Jack eventually find that blue parka?

A: The teacher held it as hostage. Jack went by at the school on his way out of town because he feared Lureen would forget about it (which of course she would not have). After agreeing to get a tutor for Bobby and promising to reduce his complaining he got it back.


Q: "I complain too much." - Do you think this is true for Jack?

[southendmd]

Q: "I complain too much." - Do you think this is true for Jack?

A:  Hell, yeah!  "No more beans...goddam pup tent smells like cat piss or worse...f*ck Aguirre...all I find is beans...never enough nookie...etc."

Q)How did Ennis a closed in, gay homophobe from a backward rural community, know about what went on in Mexico for people like Jack?

A:  Excellent question, Optom!  The story simply says, "Mexico was the place.  He'd heard."  I can't imagine it just came up in conversation at the Black and Blue Bar LOL.  Maybe it came to him in a vision after drinking too many Coronas.

Q:  Whatever happened to Rich of Earl and Rich?

A) I have no idea whatsoever.Perhaps he died of grief.Sometimes when you lose some one you love very much and have been with for a long time,you just give up.
Or on a more cheerful note, maybe he headed on down to Mexico, and could be that's how Ennis knows about Mexico.

Q)  Why did Jack's parents not go to their only sons funeral,particularly as Mrs.T obviously loved him so much?
