After Vinnie didn't work, I thought I'd misunderstood. Any chance of allowing that as a type-in?

"My" is in the clue, so I'd say that should be a big enough hint to include it.

These were great! Masterpieces, just wanted to let you know :)

Some were actually tóó clever for me, needed more studying to decipher them. (I guess if I was into movies I would have recognized some faster). It is definitely one to reread afterwards to appreciate it fully :)

Me reading the formula as glucose instead of alcohol didnt help, crash, sugardip, withdrawl and other attempts, only a few questions later I was back on track. Missed 5 in a row from hangover.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was sugar. (I'm blaming it on the three weeks of high school chem class I missed when I had a severe case of rubeola - or maybe it's the 50+ years that have passed since I took that class.)

I thought it was methane, but glucose would have been my second guess.

#5 could also be the Tom Cruise film War of the Worlds, which is what I tried first. Maybe accept that as an alternate?

"Masses of celestial plasma" can only really apply to stars, not worlds, I'd argue.

"Gravitationally-Bound Masses of Celestial Plasma" could be taken to mean masses which are bound gravitationally to celestial plasma, AKA planets orbiting stars.

This series of quizzes does amuse me QM. I had no idea what marmota monax was, tried Day of the Jackal, then thought I'd nailed it with Day of the Triffids. Not to be.

Pretty well every one of those movies was up for or has won a popular award, so fairly well known I'd say.

Many were huge cultural phenomena. Many won multiple awards. Many grossed millions of dollars. Many are quoted or referenced all the time in other media.

I've definitely heard of all of them and I've seen all but 50 Shades and Crazy Rich Asians. A bunch of these I've seen many times. Groundhog Day, The Princess Bride, and Star Wars I've probably seen at least 30-40x each. Iron Man, Braveheart, the 6th Sense, My Cousin Vinny, and Toy Story have to be close to those numbers. The only movie I think I've seen more than The Princess Bride is the 1986 The Transformers.

From 1979 - 2018 or so I did live a pretty full life. Since then I've slowed down. But... that means I've got more time to watch movies.

but... also... those movies listed are among the ones I have watched the most times in my entire life. Like I said, I think I've seen The Princess Bride more times than any other movie possibly excepting the old animated Transformers movie which I watched so many times as a child that the VHS tape broke.

Shouldn't "Insanely affluent people from east of the Urals" be "Insane affluent people from east of the Urals"?

I guess it depends on how you interpret the actual movie title. Your version works for when crazy and rich are used as separate descriptive terms. However it could also be perceived as crazy-rich, where crazy provides emphasis to rich, just as insanely does for affluent in the given clue. So really it works either way, and the clue is fine as is IMO. In any case I guessed it without trouble.

Additional evidence of the correct interpretation: both adjectives modifying the same noun would generally require a comma, which is absent.
RobNobody

Level 79
Oct 19, 2023
Not necessarily, especially with only two adjectives. For instance, you'd say "quick brown fox" rather than "quick, brown fox" and "cranky old man" instead of "cranky, old man." I mean, the title is still definitely intended to be "Asians who are crazy rich," just this evidence doesn't affect that interpretation one way or the other.

I tried "Crash" for the last one. I kept thinking that C6H22O11 was sugar so clearly C2H6O was also some kind of sugar? Never dawned on me that it was alcohol.

Narrative concerning the objects designed for the amusement of prepubescent humans: 'childs play' is no real wrong answer because it is a narrative about an object for children
Dimby

Child’s Play would ignore the “narrative” part of the clue. The obfuscation is about each word in the title, after all.

I was also convinced it was "Child's Play" until that didn't work, but I thought about how it was not "Child's Play" and was able to come up with the right answer.

it's a minor thing, but shouldn't "Homo sapiens" be singular since it's Iron Man and not Iron Men.

Homo sapiens is singular in Latin, meaning "wise man". The plural would be homines sapientes

"nuptials pending" implies fiance; a bride is typically already married.
