Ok folks, here is the whole quiz again (in blue), along with the correct answers (in red) and some additionaly notes by me (in green).

1) What is the name of the bar Ennis goes to after the blowup with Alma?
Black and Blue Eagle Bar
One person said "Eagle", which scored 0.5 points


2)When (roughly) was the Riverton Thanksgiving scene filmed?

a) At the beginning of the actual filming
b) In the middle
c) Towards the end
d) It was reshot after all other scenes were finished


a) At the beginning of the actual filming
 

3)Which two teams were to be seen on TV during the Childress TG scene?

Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos


4) What did Bobby eat on Thanksgiving?
Cereal with fruit, probably peaches
I accepted anything from 'fruit with milk' to 'oatmeal with peaches' to 'ambrosia with peaches, that was close to the correct answer


5) What vegetable was served in both, the Riverton and the Childress TG scenes?
Green beans!!!
I didn't know that in the US, potatoes seem to be considered vegetable, otherwise I would have worded my question differently, lol. Since this was my fault, I accepted every kind of potatoe answer (mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.)

 
6) What reason did the NFL give for refusing to grant the filmmakers rights to use game footage in the Childress Thanksgiving scene? Additional note: two of the following answers are correct

a) "The movie appears to condone and even encourage marital infidelity."
b) "The view that a boy who does not watch football will somehow grow up to be less than a man is narrow-minded."
c) "A substantial proportion of NFL fans would be uncomfortable with the movie's controversial subject matter."
d) The game would have been portrayed in a negative context, including cursing in the line, "I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week."


Answers b) and d) are correct
Each answer was worth one point, so if you had one of those right, you scored one point.
 

7) Who was Alma going to yell for in the story?
Bill


8 ) Where did Jack want to knock LD's ignorant ass to in the German version of the movie?
Additional note: I know that this is a tough one, but give it a guess, just to humor me  ;). Or get creative about sources of information... ;D.

a) into next week
b) into last week
c) to Wyoming
d) to hell
e) three times around the globe


Answer c) is correct; to Wyoming


9)How many containers sit on the back of Alma's stove?

3


10) How on earth did Lureen cook a Thanksgiving dinner in three hours?
Additional note: There is no final, correct answer to this question, but many ways to score a point. Let your imagination run wild...

Everybody came up with great ideas, so everybody scored one point here


11 ) What's the name of this boy?



Jake Church
For Lee the pic didn't show up and she guessed Bobby. Since this is not completely wrong and she didn't see the pic, I gave her one point.


12)What song is playing in the bar while Ennis is getting beat up on the street?

a) "Mason Dixon Line" by Jeff Wilson.
b) "I'm Always On A Mountain When I Fall" Merle Haggard
c) "Trust In Lies" The Raven Shadows featuring Tim Ferguson
d) "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle


Answer a), "Mason Dixon Line" by Jeff Wilson


13) What aftermath of the Thanksgiving blowup in Riverton is mentioned in the story, but not in the movie?

Ennis didn't try to see his girls for a long time
Paul said in the story Ennis got drunk before he got into a fight. Also correct, therefore one point.


14)Think: Alma, Thanksgiving, bracelet. What two kinds of bracelets do you associate with it?

1: a burning bracelet Ennis left her with in the story
2: a golden bracelet she wears in the movie

Some people said it was a watch on a bracelet --> also worth one point. Jack said 'slap bracelet' and I assume he meant the burning bracelet Proulx described and scored one point for it.


15) What is wrong with the skating competition Monroe is watching?

a) It has never been broadcast on American TV.
b) The couple shown together on the screen never actually competed together in pair skating.
c) The match he's watching took place in 1980, yet the banner at the charity ball in a later scene reads 1978.
d) The Association of World Figure Skating Championships denied the producers permission to use footage, so they staged the match.


Answer c)


16) Who is KC Moriarity?

a) The food designer who worked on the items on the Thanksgiving platters.
b) The inventor of the electric knife.
c) A co-owner of the house in which one of the Thanksgiving scenes was filmed.
d) Heath's stand-in for the Riverton scene.


Answer c)
 

17) What does Monroe smoke after diner?

A cigar


18)What other purposes are electric knives sometimes used for?

a) Trimming Christmas trees.
b) Screwdriver and powerdrill, if proper attachments are available
c) shaping polyurethane foam rubber to make hip and buttock padding.

Answer b)


 21) What expression from another scene of the story (other than the TG scene) is used in one of the movie's TG scenes?

Heya!  I realize this quiz is over, but I just wanted to say that I'm soooooo sorry to have missed out on this! Chrissi, this was a great quiz... and really hard!  I couldn't work on this quiz like I would have liked while I was visiting my parents for the last several days. 

I hope you do more of these!  It really looks fun!
