3/6. Despite a pretty mediocre showing in LLL this season, I somehow sneaked into 1st place in Sierra C following Day 24 with a 1 point lead, so if I pull off a win today, I can win. I'm happy with 3/6, as these were decidedly unfriendly questions for me, but it may not be enough for the victory.
1. 1917 :), D11. I didn't know anything about who the cinematographer was, but I interpreted the question as looking for two recent movies that were highly rated and took place in the past. Based on that, 1917 made a lot of sense. It's lucky I didn't consider movies that took place in the future, or I could easily have seen myself putting down Ready Player One and getting it wrong. I never would have thought of a Bladerunner movie.
2. Brooks :(, D20. No clue. Should give Brian no problem. Easy place for him to stick me with a D3 and get away with it.
3. Amy :), D01. Second straight day I got a question due to a movie I watched during the pandemic (Gone Girl). I would have had no chance on the other two parts of the question.
4. Ferret Fox :(, D22. I had no clue. Pure coincidence that I kind of got close (but was still definitely wrong).
5. France :), D32. Great, great question. First one had to recognize that this was about the World Cup, then figure out it was the 1998 host and winner. Maybe my D for Brian was too high here. We'll see.
6. Ko :(, D13. No idea.
It's been a great season. Have a great month and a half, everyone!
