The OFFICIAL Film Music Trivia Quiz - New Game! [Quiz #4]

Should we pm the answers to halibut or to Zarm_Rkeeg?

 

Zarm_Rkeeg has taken the helm.

 

You can feel free to PM your answers to halibut... however, he will likely not give you any score for them, as he isn't currently running the quiz. I, on the other hand, will... provided they're the correct answers, of course.

So, yeah... I would probably be a good choice, as far as PMing answers goes.

 

Just a quick note, folks... answers will be delayed 'till next Sunday or Monday for this round. Sorry!

 

Are you too busy for us, ZR??

 

Family vacation is a surrender to the inevitable, not a choice of priorities.

 

Sorry for the delay- back from Oregon and ready to roll, now. The answers from Round 27: A Little Bit Of Everything, await:
1. Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire by Joel Mcneely- Xixor?s Theme.
2. The Time Machine by Klaus Badelt ? I Don?t Belong Here
3. The Prince Of Egypt by Hans Zimmer ? Goodbye Brother

Congrats to Well_Of_Souls for sweeping the round! The winners this time were:
Well_Of_Souls ? 6 points
TheBoogieMan ? 2 points
Outrider462004 ? 2 points

As the Round Totals stack up, we look ahead towards the end of the Quiz, and our first VIPship award?
Well_Of_Souls ? 16 point
HookLineAndSinker ? 7 points
Outrider462004 - 7 point
TheBoogieMan - 5 points
The-Tennis-Ball-Kid ? 3 points
Darth-Lutgerous- 3 point
Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon ? 2 points
Darth_Vader-Anakin ? 2 points
Indiana_Fett ? 2 point
Mr_UnderhiII ? 1 points

Now, for something uncharacteristically easy for this late in the quiz: a trio of animated Disney themes. 1 point each for Film & composer, 1 bonus point each for identifying the track. A brief, easy Oasis before the crushing next round, followed by the easiest final round we?ve ever had- a little change of pace, once again. So get cracking!

Thats understandable.
Where did you go??

 

Seaside, Oregon. Lovely place. Good Geocaches.

 

Here we are, at the end of yet another exciting round! Did you let your conscience be your guide for Round 28: More Of The Mouse? The answers for these three Disney blockbusters are:
1. Aladdin, by Alan Menkin, et al. The Battle
2. Mulan, by Jerry Goldsmith. The Huns Attack
3. Atlantis, by James Newton Howard. The Submarine

A trio of nice, easy, well recognized films. You shall not fare so easily this round... those that did fare well, however, were:
Darth-Lutgerous- 6 points
Well_Of_Souls ? 4 points
Mr_UnderhiII ? 3 points

This sweeps Lutgerous into second- However, Well_Of_Souls has obviously taken up the HLS mantle, continuing a commanding lead- however, the next few rounds could still change things drastically...
Well_Of_Souls ? 20 points
Darth-Lutgerous - 9 points
HookLineAndSinker ? 7 points
Outrider462004 - 7 points
TheBoogieMan - 5 points
Mr_UnderhiII ? 4 points
The-Tennis-Ball-Kid ? 3 points
Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon ? 2 points
Darth_Vader-Anakin ? 2 points
Indiana_Fett ? 2 points

Okay, now I'm going to monkey-wrench things a little bit with a switch up. After much deliberation, I decided that the previous Final Round, while exotic enough in catergory, was ridiculously easy for a final round- just too recognizeable. So, the previous Final Round is now this round, and vice versa. So, the dates and clip numbers will be incorrect- just follow the link and go with me on this one. Your challenge: Identify the Rides, the Film they're based on, and the Composer of the theme the ride scores is based on. One point per clip- listen to the recordings and you'll hear why. Some easy points and a chance to up your standings before the big finale. So get to it!

Okay, fellas, this is it! The final round, coming in to shake things up in the aftermath of Round 29: Insanely Easy Ride Scores. I assume that everyone agrees that would not have been a propper final round? In any event, the answers were:
1. Back to the Future: The Ride. Based on Back to the Future (III, specifically, but we'll let that slide). Specifically based on the Point Of No Return, Composed by Alan Silvestri.
2. Star Tours. Based on Star Wars. Specifically based on The Asteroid Field, Composed By John Williams.
3. The Indiana Jones Adventure. Based on Indiana Jones. Specifically based on The Ark Theme, Composed By John Williams.

All three are great rides, by the way. Highly reccomended if you're ever dear Disneyland or Universal. Now then...

The scores for this round are:
__Vader__ - 3 points
Well_Of_Souls ? 3 points
TheBoogieMan - 3 points
Outrider462004 - 3 points
Mr_UnderhiII ? 1 point
Halibut - 3 points

Thus, the totals are as follows, leading up to the final confrontation:
Well_Of_Souls ? 23 points
Outrider462004 - 10 points
Darth-Lutgerous - 9 points
TheBoogieMan - 8 points
HookLineAndSinker ? 7 points
Mr_UnderhiII ? 5 points
The-Tennis-Ball-Kid ? 3 points
__Vader__ - 3 points
Halibut ? 3 points
Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon ? 2 points
Darth_Vader-Anakin ? 2 points
Indiana_Fett ? 2 points


This pretty much puts Well_Of_Souls in the clear... but the combined totals of the points below are still suifficient for anyone above HLS's water-mark to still tie or take the lead... presuming, of course, that there's anyone here able to get all three clips... which, based on this selection and theme, I doubt it. Mu Hu Hwa Hwa Hwa Hwa!

But hey, I'd love to be surprised...

And for everyone else, remember- any points you get will still be added to your cumulative totals for the over-all winner reace at the end of every quiz! So... Your next challenge is a formidable one, indeed- resting on the tenuous theme of 'Previous Versions Of A Story Made Into A Major Film Since The Turn Of The Century.'

No, really. It works better than it sounds.

I swear.

In any event, these are the main themes- I'm looking for film and composer- one should be fairly recognizeable, #86, which is worth three points. Less recognizeable is #88, worth five points. And finally, kindred sprits and fans of the series only will recognize the middle clip, #87, worth seven points- because you're my kind of people. Yeah, I know, I should really just re-number them in ascending order. Whadda you want? I'm lazy.

http://h1.ripway.com/Zarm/Quiz9-7-06.zip


So this is it- the final round of the third quiz- ignore the incorrect dates and numbering- just follow the link provided, and good luck!

 

Would you believe that the only answer I know off the top of my head is clip #87? Anyway, good luck to all and may the best Well_Of_Souls win!

 

Same here LOL!

 

I'll chime in as a thrid person!

 

Yeah... that's kinda been surprising me. I guess that particular tune is more widely known than I'd first believed... well, good to know so many kindred spirits, at least...

Alright, based on recent events, I'm switching things around a little bit- I won't lower 87's value, as it's already promised- but I am increasing #86's to match, as it remains un-guessed at this juncture. This leaves several individuals who have already submitted, should they guess it correctly, in a position to challenge for the lead.

(BTW, Outrider- I was born and raised in America, and am quite aware of the story's popularity- I simply wasn't aware that this particular version of the story was so well-known!)

 

Clip 87. It is very widely known. Don't believe me, come to America.

 

Damn I wish I had the money to fix my speakers. But that money is invested in more important things. But I'm so curious about these clips!

 

Answers tomorrow- don't wait until the last minute, now- this could be your final opportunity to shake things up for this quiz!

(Especially since I've seen at least two of you claiming to know the answer who haven't PMed any answers yet!)

 

Okay, Round 30: I Thought I Heard That Somewhere Before (Including This Title?) is finished, and with it, Quiz #3. There are still two more in the works, of course, so tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel, as the quiz moves (potentially) to Saturdays.

Meanwhile, I?m sure everyone?s rather anxious to know the answers. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many familiar with clip 2 (#87) which was apparently more popular than I had realized (though perhaps not the definitive version of the series, it?s still representative of a most beloved set of books in our household?) meanwhile, I was rather shocked at the lack of recognition for clip 1 (#86) though the last minute point increase, ironically, was what allowed the front runner to maintain a tenuous but solid grasp on first place. So, without further ado?

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas, by Albert Hague (congrats to Well_Of_Souls for being the soul identifier!)
2. The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe (Though any of the BBC Narnia series would have been an acceptable answer, as they share the theme) by Geoffrey Burgon
3. The Lord Of The Rings (Ralph Bakshi animated version) by Leonard Rosenman (Congrats to Darth-Lutgerous and The-Tennis-Ball-Kid for identifying this one!)

Well. The scores certainly had an upheaval this round! Things were shaken as never before, but as the dust settles?
The-Tennis-Ball-Kid ? 12 points (clips 87 and 88 correct)
Darth-Lutgerous ? 12 points (clips 87 and 88 correct)
TheBoogieMan ? 7 points (clip 87 correct)
Darth_Vader-Anakin ? 7 points (clip 87 correct)
Halibut ? 7 points (clip 87 correct)
Well_Of_Souls ? 7 points (clip 86 correct)
Outrider462004 ? 7 points (clip 87 correct)

?Our front-runner manages to hang on to first! The winner of Quiz 3?

I will be contacting the good General in charge of the forums to confirm about the VIPship immediately.

However, sometimes a powerfully crushing lead is enough to tide one through the hard times? so, as we look at our cumulative scores for the entire quiz combined, we find with some surprise that, despite dropping out midway through the third quiz due to technical difficulties, our first place champion maintains a bare lead! Congratulations once again?

HookLineAndSinker!

The cumulative winner?s comemmorative audio clip will be sent to you post-haste. And yes, as you did drop out due to malfunctioning speakers, I am aware of the bitter irony. Get well soon, man.

Well, this may have been our liveliest quiz yet- thanks to everyone for the high participation level! Don?t worry, the quizzes aren?t over, just taking a brief break to re-align on a new date- so (assuming the forgetful and generally slobish quiz manager doesn?t forget, of course?) see you on Saturday for the start of Quiz #4!

May the Force be with you?

 

Phew, thanks be to broken speakers.

 

Damn these speakers!!!!


Must....get....them.....fixed....

 

Congrats to Well_Of_Souls!

 

Nice job WOS!

Im gunnin for you next round.

 

Hey, WOS... you look good in crimson!

HLS... what are you complaining about- you're already a VIP and you still won one of the contests! Seriously, man... I hope that does work out for you soon...

 

Congratulations, Well_of_Souls.


I can't wait for the next quiz, Zarm. You are doing an excellent, excellent job.
