NetFlix Movie Week
Brent Massey (carryover contestant)

Brent is starting with $25,000 and the fourth lifeline.
$50,000
In "The Graduate," what is the name of the hotel where Benjamin and Mrs. Robinson have their tryst?
A: The Fillmore B: The Garfield
C: The McKinley D: The Taft
It's been a few years since Brent saw this movie and he can't remember the answer, so he switches the question. He probably would have guessed the Fillmore.
STQ $50,000
What actor had a role in three of the five movies that were nominated for Best Picture of 2002?
A: Jude Law B: Chris Cooper
C: John C. Reilly D: Ian McKellen
2002 was the year Brent graduated high school.
Brent has it narrowed down to Chris Cooper and John C. Reilly. He goes with John C. Reilly, final answer.
Meredith: Chicago, The Hours and Gangs of New York; roles in all three. John C. Reilly!
Brent will pay off some college debt with the money and his wife and he are thinking of getting a puppy. And maybe a downpayment on a house.
$100,000
The Kirsten Dunst comedy "Bring It On" depicts the rivalry between what too cheerleading squads?
A: Flyers and Daisies B: Toros and Clovers
C: Lobos adn Posies D: Riders and Acorns
Brent knows this one. His wife and sister like this movie.
-- Commercial Break --
Kara knew the answer to the last question and was going to kill Brent if he didn't know it.
$250,000
What Jim Carrey movie features the "Millionaire"-inspired line "Is that your final answer?"
A: Me, Myself & Irene B: Bruce Almighty

$50,000: D: The Taft
STQ $50,000: C: John C. Reilly
$100,000: B: Toros and Clovers
$250,000: B: Bruce Almighty

A: The Fillmore B: The Garfield
C: The McKinley D: The Taft
It's been several years for me, too. I had it narrowed down to B and D. With all 4 lifelines available, I probably would use the ATA to see if there was something obvious I was missing (and because I probably wouldn't trust them after this question anyway), then 50/50 and hope that either A or C was left with either B or D. Let's assume I got this right, which means I wouldn't have seen:

What actor had a role in three of the five movies that were nominated for Best Picture of 2002?

C: John C. Reilly D: Ian McKellen
Alas, I knew this cold. In hindsight, maybe I should have switched!

Then again, I'm glad I could still STQ, since I have no clue on this...I've never seen it (and probably never will).

What Jim Carrey movie features the "Millionaire"-inspired line "Is that your final answer?"
A: Me, Myself & Irene B: Bruce Almighty
C: Fun With Dick and Jane D: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
I knew this one cold, too. So I'd be looking at the $500K question with the PAF left.
I will say that the Movie Week is tougher this year than last...

Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, plus Claire Kramer (the chick who played Glory on Buffy).

$50K: It's been years since I've seen this film, so I would've taken the PAF.
$50K #2: Man, am I glad I never would've seen this question! I was in the wrong year. I thought it was McKellen. I immediately said "Lord of the Rings", "Gods and Monsters", and "Gosford Park"... but I now realize that "G&M" came out in 1998 and he wasn't even in "GP".
$100K: Switch. Hope for a better question. Assuming that it's a question in my wheelhouse...
$250K: I would've lost $75K here. I thought for sure that it wasn't "Bruce Almighty". Taking the 50:50, I would've locked in with whichever answer wasn't B.

OK, a teacher - and from Oklahoma, so two reasons to root for him. Plus he really seemed like a nice guy.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Brent Massey (carryover contestant)

Well, his taste in movies is somewhat questionable.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Movies have always been a big part of Brent's life. When he was about ten, he used to dress up as Ace Venture, Pet Detective.
I have no lifelines, either, so I'd STQ. My thought would have been McKinley.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $50,000

Hmmm...I'd have been torn between A and D; I don't know who Chris Cooper is and not sure about John C. Reilly. Time to walk away.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: STQ $50,000

Meredith's comment about that being a depressing thought resonated with me.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:2002 was the year Brent graduated high school.

Hmmm...a fan of "Ace Ventura" gets a Jim Carrey question. What are the odds? This one I knew, but would never have made it to this point.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $250,000

So it seems as if the show really did pick movie nuts. Brent made a good run through the stack.

Chris Cooper is one of those actors that you see all the time, and is always very solid -- even outstanding -- but can't pull the name. If you saw "American Beauty," he was the Marine dad who lived next door to Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening (and was married to Allison Janney from "West Wing". He won an Oscar for his supporting role as the Orchid Thief in "Adaptation" (minus a couple of teeth). In "The Bourne Identity" he was the CIA guy who was so intent on catching Matt Damon, and was the Kansas detective in "Capote".

I saw "Lone Star" and "A Time to Kill" on opening day, which was the same for both. One starred Chris Cooper and featured Matthew McConaughey, and the other starred MM and featured CC.
