Probably too country for the mainstream back then. She was about 20 years too early for her own good.

She did an appearance on a reality show "Hit Me Baby One More Time" where she did a song and a contemporary (circa 2005) artist also did one of her songs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0602069/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_1

Well, I feel stupid. I wrote the wrong (unused) answer. I saw the picture and my mind wandered.

HANSON

It doesn't look like the Jonas Brothers because it's not them. This is the peril of picture TDs!

Question 4!

Post by Armandillo »

4. OOOH SCARY!
Spoiler
a. Which 1986 David Cronenberg-directed film originally contained a scene where the main character, Seth Brundle, created a monkey-cat by combining an alley cat with a baboon?
b. Ash Williams, portrayed by Bruce Campbell, unwittingly unleashed evil forces by playing a recording of a professor reciting passages from which fictional Sumerian book?
c. Although she was clearly a deranged religious fanatic, the mother of what titular character, proved prophetic when she told her that “They’re all going to laugh at you!”
d. What classic horror film depressingly ends with the protagonist, Ben, being mistakenly shot in the head and killed, with his body then thrown on a bonfire?
e. In the late 80s, a meteorite crashed near Arborville, California releasing what atrocious creature on the unwitting public?
f. The Mist was a 2007 adaptation of a Stephen King novella by director Frank Darabont. What two other King works did Darabont turn into films? To be clear, name the Stephen King works, NOT the films based on them.
g. This 1987 film had it all! A canister of liquid evil, mirrors that served as a portal to another dimension, possessed homeless people and John Carpenter as director. Name it.
h. In the Don Coscarelli series Phantasm , the main character, Jody and his brother Mike are assisted by family friend Reggie, who holds what completely inappropriate profession?
i. In the original Scream film, from 1996, there were three rules given to successfully survive a horror movie. Rule #3 was “Don’t say ‘I’ll be right back’ or ‘Hello?’ or ‘Who’s there?’”. Rule #2 was don’t drink or do drugs. What was Rule #1?
j. The Museum of Monsters of Mayhem, telling the story of local legend Dr. Satan, greeted a young foursome in which 2003 film?

Thanks for a fun game. I'm always happy when less people finish above me in the standings than below me.

Congrats to quarterrican!

g. Jude
*looks it up* Ohhhh, so that's what that song is called.

It seems like if I listened to an album on tape, I know all the song titles (because I was riding a bus, reading the titles off the case), but if I listened to a CD or mp3s, I don't (because I was driving or had my iPod in my pocket, respectively). I don't know how many times I've listened to that album (Jude's "No One Is Really Beautiful," not the City of Angels soundtrack) in the last 15 years or so, but it turns out I only know the names of about half the songs.

The recent exceptions to this are songs I've tried to play, usually on my mandolin*, which is why I know the names of most Mumford and Sons songs.

(* Yes, it's a rule that everyone with "hammer" in their username must play the mandolin.)

Well, that was an embarrassing miss! (and somehow getting the bonus right didn't steer me away from Bob). I was conflating "Serve Somebody" w/"Use Somebody" and realized the error when the KOL song came on the radio a day after I submitted my answers.
