Movie Trivia

I've seen a lot of movies in my day. A LOT. I've spent at least one night a week of my adult life watching TV and movies. So it goes without saying that I remember a lot of quotes, character names, and plots. Can someone get rich off of such knowledge? No, probably not. Well, Harry Knowles probably isn't broke, but he's the exception.

Well, I may not be able to reap many rewards from my knowledge, but I can at least score free movie tickets and a steak dinner off of it. My local radio station, WZYP, holds a Dinner and a Movie contest on week nights where they play a quote from a movie and the 10th caller who knows it gets a little prize pack. I've tried calling in before for movies like the Shinning, but it was the Running Man that won it for me today. Too bad it wasn't something a little more recondite, where I really could have flexed my imdb.com muscle.

Of course, you never sound as cool as you think you do. I apparently have adopted some moiety of the southern accent, which will now haunt me in my dreams. Also, it seems the volume on my phone is lower than I expected. *cough*

Of course, they won't actually mail you the goodies. No, you have to visit their office during regular business hours, 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. You know, when most people are supposed to be working. Oh yeah, and the office is in Athens, about 20 minutes from me, so I can't just pop out on my lunch break.

Oh well, I can't complain too much. At least I now know how I'm going to go see X-Men III.
