Well, this is a new type fo quiz, and the name of the game is Movie Mergers!  The rules are simple, I shall present a description of two moives that have been fused.  The two movies will share at least one common word in their titles.  Your goal is simple: Guess the new titles, based on the premise.  For example, if the clue was "Buttercup spurns Westley to become the mate of the most famous monster of all time!", then the answer would be "The Princess Bride of Frankenstein!" Got it? Good. GO!

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being John Malkovich"

(Pretty obscure one, here, Jared...how many people have seen "t.u.l.o.b?")

I actually hadn't, and was so desperate to use Being John Malkovich that i scoured the IMDB for anything with the word "being"

But right on both counts, Princess!  MAN, you're good

Ah HA!  www.imdb.com is about the best site there is for a movie buff, I'll have to admit.

1. Ghost Busters in the Shell.

Ghost in the Shell is a movie that I had totally forgotten about. I thought my wife's little bro and his friends were about the only ones who got into this movie.

Excellent work Joe!  I'll confess I haven't seen GITS, but I knew the basic overview, and I figured that maybe it was too obscure for this quiz!  Guess not

Well, we're down to the last one..anyone can take astab at it, but I regret to inform you all that mathematically, Arwen's already our winner.  ;)

8. Kal-El is the Last Son of Krypton...but he's also a myopic madman who fancies himself a knight in this superheroic musical! (4 words)

My answer is....

Superman of La Mancha

You did it Johnny!

And so, our final score is:

1. Arwen- 5 Correct
2. IndyGent- 2 Correct
3. TIED: Joe Deertae, Johnny D, Mandamoo- 1 Correct eaxch

Congratulations Arwen!  And thanks to all for playing!


Beware!  The sequel arrives very soon!
