Re: Debbie Day 12

Doh - should have been a 5 (or maybe 6) but I doubted myself so a 4 

Day 12

1. Double Indemnity :) was thinking double jeopardy but then got it

2. Kalua :) yum

3. Phonics :) super well-known if you're a certain age, I'd think?

4. hunger :(  totally had "want" in my head but then thought that was too vague and was picturing the Norman Rockwell pictures with like the big turkey dinner?

5. Kid N' Play :) another question I love. Watched this many many many times as a teen. "Cause I've been down all day today... let's have a House Party"

6. Gloria Vanderbilt :( was totally thinking this was Scout and had to be a woman.  Could maybe have gotten it if I'd realized Dill / male... know I'd heard it was someone famous but not sure I'd have remembered who or that he was from New Orleans

 4/6, but two bad decisions cost me a six pack

1) Double Indemnity 1/0  gimme given the clues

2) Kahlua 2/2 picked a Hawaiian sounding liqueur

3) Phonics 0/1  This actually came up during dinner last night

4) opression  1/2  Isn't freedom from want a thing?  But how is that a right?  Better keep oppression.  Ugh.

5) Kid N Play 2/1  I saw the actors as I was flipping through channels the other night, either in a commercial or a new movie.  

6) Miller 3/3  I guessed Capote on an earlier question and got it wrong, thought I'd try it again.  But was Capote hobnobbing with glitterati?  Better go with Miller, who married Marilyn, even though Death of a Salesman was an answer this season. Ugh #2

David S Day 12

4/6 today. 

1. Double indemnity :), D12. Never heard of the movie, but I was pretty sure about the insurance term. 

2. Kahlua :), D00. Was literally a second from submitting a wrong answer here when it hit me. 

3. Phonics :), D12. Another commercial from my childhood that’s seared into my memory. 

4. Fear :), D23. Gimme for me. Probably bad defense here. 

5. Outkast :(, D31. No clue.

6. Smith :(, D21. Also no clue. 

Dave M day 12

Just 3/6 heading into weekend, don't think it will be enough.

 

1 : ( Double Jeopardy. Close, but not close enough. I am not familiar with 40s Film Noir or life insurance terms. D21

2 : ( Hangi. Not knowing the Hawaiian I went for the NZ Maori name of the same dish. Quite different name it turns out! D32

3 : ) Phonics. I know the term hooked on phonics but not the nature of phonics itself. D11

4 : ) Fear. Knew both of these and assume quite simple. D10

5 : ( Waylan Brothers. Mixed up my low effort comedy movies. D03

6 : ) Truman Capote. Figured this played hard but given answers so far maybe not. D22

4/6

1. Used as the title of a classic film noir from the 1940s, what two-word term denotes a feature of a life insurance policy according to which the insurer pays twice the policy's face value if the insured dies accidentally?
Correct Answer: DOUBLE INDEMNITY
Your Answer: Double Indemnity
Points Assigned: 2

When I hear noir, my first thought is Double Indemnity. I saw it so many years ago that I don't remember the plot, but it certainly sounds like an insurance term. 

2. What Hawaiian word means "to bake in the ground" and is used in the name of a popular pork dish traditionally prepared in such a manner (and is not to be confused with the similar sounding name of an unrelated liqueur)?
Correct Answer: KÄ€LUA
Your Answer: Kalua
Points Assigned: 1

It was the most Hawaiin-sounding liquer I could think of. 

3. A program of commercial educational materials that endeavors to teach children reading skills via letter-sounds correlations, introduced in 1987 and still in existence today, is sold under the brand "Hooked on" what?
Correct Answer: PHONICS
Your Answer: Phonics
Points Assigned: 0

Feels like a gimmie for Americans.  Maybe it will play harder for younger people? 

4. In an annual message to Congress in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt identified four basic human rights he proclaimed as "Four Freedoms". Two were freedoms "of" (freedom of speech, freedom of worship), and two were freedoms "from"—name either of the latter two.
Correct Answer: WANT, FEAR
Your Answer: discrimination
Points Assigned: 2

I initially had fear and should have kept it. 

5. House Party, House Party 2, and House Party 3 are among the films starring what hip-hop pair from Elmhurst, Queens, born Christophers Reid and Martin?
Correct Answer: KID 'N PLAY
Your Answer: Kris Cross
Points Assigned: 3

Kris Cross came into my brain and I immediately entered it. I should have thought harder about this as I could have gotten it. 

6. What author, associated closely with the glitterati (and literati) of New York, was born in New Orleans and was the model for the character Dill in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird?
Correct Answer: TRUMAN CAPOTE
Your Answer: Capote

Seems like a well known piece of trivia.
