The last thing I'm going to say about Alfred Hitchcock for now

Cast your mind back to those glory days of November 2008, when we did a Alfred Hitchcock–heavy Big Quiz Thing, in honor of the Broadway production of The 39 Steps (among the few shows still playing on Broadway). Pretty much a complete coincidence here, but in my sometime job as contributing quiz writer for American Movie Classics' website, I was tasked with crafting a Hitch quiz, and it is live. Delight yourself here.

Future AMC quizzes: Jack Nicholson, mockumentaries, a few others. My pitch for a "pro wrestlers in the movies" quiz was shot down, sadly…

New, oddly familiar AMC quiz

This one you may recognize: Some time ago at the BQT, I presented a video round, "Major Motion Picture Mathematics." Very clever, but perhaps too challenging (anything with numbers can be a slog).

Now in the employ of amctv.com, I've adapted it (sans video), perhaps dumbed it down, for their purposes. Try it under its abbreviated name, "Movie Mathematics."

Hey, while we're at it, what should I do movie quizzes about in January? Give me a good idea and I'll do something nice for you.

And see that old video round below. YouTube rules!

More AMC quizzes! Yay!

Yes, two more. Couples who met on set and some of the worst movies of all time (i.e., turkeys; the Thanksgiving tie-in). The relevance of the photo is that it's from the country of Turkey, and some guy on the Internet has called it the worst movie poster ever.

While we're on the subject, here's the worst-movies-ever video round from last year:



FYI, I've been writing these AMC quizzes way long and letting the editor pick whichever five questions he likes best, so I find myself with a lot of extraneous trivia (is there any other kind?). Yes, there is the possibility that some of these themes will be incorporated into BQT live events. Forewarned is fore-somethinged…
