PRESENTS
We're back! The Mercantile, Dame Street, Dublin 2. Thursday July 14th 2011, Doors at 7.30 pm.Concentrate, Frustrate, Back-Stab, Celebrate! When a table quiz gets this chaotic, you can’t help but lose control. Live Movie Quiz! is the ultimate table quiz experience, exclusive to Blue Gun Theatre, which gives the joy of performance, the thrill of a quiz show, and the audience interaction you won’t find anywhere else! Created specifically with party gaming and film on stage in mind, the show was launched in March 2011 in The Mercantile.
The quiz sees teams answering film trivia questions while competing in the fictional game show, Live Movie Quiz! As with most quiz shows the winner of the game is the team with the most points. However, how you get there is a different story.
Nominate, steal, avoid the bomb, or go it alone - to win this game you are going to have to be ruthless. The show has a multi-round format featuring eight individual rounds and 3 bonus rounds. The exact rounds may vary from quiz-to-quiz, with each round being explained on the night by the host.
On the night there will be four performed movie scenes on stage by a group of talented individuals. Bring up those movie memories and get carried away in the spirit of the night. There's even great raffle prizes and a bar!
Live Movie Quiz! is perfect for anyone who wants an exhilarating night out they'll never forget.
Live Movie Quiz! carries an advisory age limit of 18+.
Tickets will be 10 euro per person, and teams can be sorted on the night. The tickets will go on sale shortly and we will notify you here first!
If you are interested in auditioning for a part, or just want to know more about it, leave a comment or PM myself, DoctorGonzo08 or my PIC Deleted User.

Can't imagine what :P
The scene's have been confirmed for the night with the running theme being Comedy. THe four scenes are:
and the fourth will be a very special presentation, but you'll have to be there to find out. But for the purpose of the discussion here's another:
The main aim of the pieces we chose are that we think they can be adapted to stage. What other one's do you think we could do??
We are going to be holding auditions for the roles for the night shortly, with actors will be paid 10% of the ticket sales each, so send us a PM if you are interested.0 -

The night was brilliant! 2 Tables off a full house in the end, and the audience were fantastic. It was chaotic, both backstage, and out in the crowd. I really hope all who went enjoyed it, and would love to hear what you all thought.
We will have photo's from the night put up on our Facebook page shortly, all thanks to DeVore.
We have already being making plans for a Christmas Special, but after some feedback from the night, we are starting to look at the possibility of running LMQS III in September, so keep an eye out

Table 8 here
All in all defo a good bit of craic and would easily go to another one that you's organise.
Fair play to you's for organising it I am sure it was pretty busy/hectic trying to get it all together but your crew done an excellent job.
Thought the live movie scenes were brilliant and the Wedding Crashers was my favourite of the night "Ma wheres the meatloaf"
I like the way you's have it laid out that you can't be some monkey sitting their on a smartphone trying to Google some answer's.
Good rounds good questions
Only two small gripes but nothing crazy, the scores imo need to be updated a little better as I know for our team and I think one/two others we had to question the addition of points, granted busy night lots to get through, also I wasn't a fan of the last round were you have to try and get the attention of your members bit too messy.
But I have to commend you's for a great show and trying to bring something new to the table, so keep up the good work and I'll be back :cool:0 -

Thank you Table 8
Yep, you got the smartphone issue in one. We can't stop people from using them, so we set up the layout so that it really won't do you any good. (especially if another table sees you doing it!)
You are spot on with the 'Stewards Enquiries'. We noted that last night afterwards and, we have decided to have a dedicated score keeper for the night. He/She will also keep a record of each teams scores, bonus round scores and all addition and subtractions scores from the last rounds so that if a check is called we will be able to sort it staraight away. It will also speed up the updating of the scoreboard too. (Although, there may be a twist to that at the next
)
The 'Point Stealer' Round is integral to the show as a whole as it enables several teams to compete for the final prize. However, it is being tweaked from last night, to clean it up. Because like you said it did get a little messy. One change will be that the question will be asked first, then the team is chosen to answer. We are working on a couple of different options as to how the team is selected but can't give away too much
Thank you for coming down, and well done on the night. Thank you for your feedback too, and we'll see you at the next one!0 -

I thought you looked familiar tyler. I've seen you at some poker things but couldn't place you last night.
Who won in the end? Was it your table?
Wedding Crashers was my favorite scene too (even though I was in some of the others). Think its a great idea that the lads had the live movie scenes in the quiz. Just adds something a bit different to the whole thing and it sets it apart from other quizzes. I think the format is great because there's always someone who knows everything about movies but this quiz gives everyone a chance, even if you're not a film buff. I'm glad I was behind the curtain because for a few of the questions there were lots of puzzled looks and head-scratching going on backstage so congrats to anyone who knew the answers because I certainly didn't!
I would agree that the last round was a bit chaotic but it was also good fun. I'm sure the lads will come up with something to make it better the next time as I know they are always striving to improve the show.
I'd like to thank everyone who attended. You were all very respectful and appreciative when we were acting out the scenes and that is always very much appreciated by us who put in the work to bring it to you. I hope that everyone had a good night and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Whether it be as part of the crew or part of the audience, I will definitely be there.0 -

I had a big post made out last night then I lost the thing
Dedicated score keeper gets a big thumbs up from me well done on that little tweak.
Pointer stealer round is excellent but something just a little more balanced and you's will defo be onto a winner.
Looking forward to it, keep up the good work.Monkeybonkers wrote: »I thought you looked familiar tyler. I've seen you at some poker things but couldn't place you last night.

Ah I am a little confused as I seen a bloke I know from poker there as well but he was in the crowd so please forgive me for being a little confused as I can't figure out who you are
Apologies for the lack of face recognition
small world, also there was a chick at the table behind us and she lives around the corner from me but I wouldn't know her to well.
I think you's have found a nice little niche here, been to other movie quiz's and this by far had been my favourite good mixture of questions but nothing ott that you would have to be some kind of super geek to get them.
Keep doing what you are doing guys some great stuff and best of luck for future endeavors
