The Big Irish Times Xmas Quiz of 2010

macdonagh2007

Which is the odd film out ?
1. DIAL M FOR MURDER
2. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEADLY HALLOWS PART 1
3. TRON LEGACY
4. CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

IS THE ANSWER DIAL M FOR MURDER BECAUSE IT WENT ON TO BE A STAGE PLAY OR BECAUSE IT A MURDER FILM/PLOT

Orion

This one puzzled me too. Bit of research found the answer: one of them was not released in 3D - Harry Potter!

btw Dial M for Murder was adapted from a stage play not the other way around.

Orion

in 57 - is it Despicable Me or Inception that's not an adaptation, remake or sequel?

macdonagh2007

I am still searching too. At the moment I have Despicable Me as the answer. Thanks for no 56 answer

Cute Hoor

Does anybody know the answers to 58,59 & 60 please?

anthonycro

does anyone know the politician who is a karaoke judge? I'd be happy to swap an answer from the first 50

mazzyk

I forgot to pick up yesterday's (Monday's) Irish Times so missed questions 51-60 (Donald Clarke's film questions). I've checked online and they don't seem to have put them on the site. I don't suppose anyone would have the questions handy?

Thanks

carolireland

I wonder if anyone can help with question no 25 please?
"Of the 12 Fianna Fail senior ministers currently holding office(including Taoiseach Brian Cowen), how many are the son or daughter of a former Fianna Fail TD?"
Many thanks.

jayemdee

Bertie, Maurice and Noel Ahern; Michael and Tom Kitt; Brian and Conor Lenihan are the brothers and 3 siblings

Who is the karoke judge?? and who makes jam and marmalade??

jayemdee

58. Harlequins rugby club - 'bloodgate'
59. No regrets
60. All are characters who appear in films and the actors who portrayed them won Oscars

Dromusta

58: Airplane
People who played captain and doctor died in 2010

carolireland

Thank you Jayemadee.

For question no.25 I think that they are looking for the number of senior ministers who are the son or daughter of a former Fianna Fail TD.

I know for example that Mary Coughlans Dad was a former FF TD, as was Brian Cowens but after that I am unsure. Any further help would be appreciated.

carolireland

I think the answer for the karaoke judge might be Kathleen Lynch. Any further help with no.25 would be appreciated.

Dromusta

Brian Lenihan (son of Brian Sr)

supersaintpats

Thanks for help on karaoke; on 25, Brian Lenihan's father was also a TD.

Aine brady is a kitt too. Sister of the other two.

Q60 = Oscar Winners (they are they names of the characters who won oscar this year)

vnagidam

Q58 and 59 - I need help please.

Q63 - Jam and Marmalade - who....

Q25 - can anyone confirm that there are 3 FF ministers who are son or daughter of former FF TD: Brian Cowen, Mary Coughlan, Brian Lenihan.
Eamon O'Cuiv is a grandson and Mary Hanifin's father was a senator.

vnagidam

I have a Tommy Broughan (Lab) as the Judge in the Karaoke.

Also Q69 - Tom Kitt, Michael P. Kitt and Aine Brady (nee Kitt) are the siblings; Conor and Brian Lenihan, and Bertie & Noel Ahern. They are all serving at the moment.

Jam and Marmalade? Richard Bruton

Could it be Dr Spock and Captain Kirk

HOOL75

I'm stuck on 82, 85 & 90 today

muckety

90 is Michael O Muireacheartaigh.
I'm stuck on No 76 (odd one out between gwyneth paltrow, Olivia newton John and Kelly Kelly osborne?. Also no 59 - connect a sound heard repeatedly in Inception with a 2007 biopic and former UK Chancellor of the exchequer?

Spike440

The karaoke is Kathleen Lynch TD.

82 is Ted Walsh Jr.
85 is a reference to the return home of the English World Cup team.

Kelly Osbourne is odd one out having not appeared as a guest star in Glee.

I think 59 is Je ne regrette rien / no regrets.

addda

Does anyone have Monday's film questions or a link to them? Can't seem to find them on the website. Thanks

supersaintpats

is 82 not Ted Walsh Sr?, as the father is the sire?

Orion

89 has me stuck. I never listen to Tubridy. He has a face for radio and a voice for mime.

orandy

89: "Babies"

as per post above, can someone please post donald clarke's Monday questions, as they aren't online.

Thanks
