Which country would you need to visit in order to see this woman with the bad boob job, muscular arms and legs, and tiny head? Also, who painted this woman?

Bilbo1967 · 02-09-2012, 03:24 PM

It looks a lot like the Sistine Chapel ceiling to me.

So, the Vatican and Michelangelo?

Daithi · 02-09-2012, 03:28 PM

Dang, that was quick.

It is indeed the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo may have been one of the world's greatest artists, but he sucked at drawing/painting/sculpting women. Apparently he used male body builders as models, so his women tended to look rather strange.

Bilbo1967 · 02-09-2012, 03:37 PM

I don't think he had a lot of first hand experience of the naked female form.

Bilbo1967 · 02-09-2012, 05:26 PM

OK, name the films from the character names;

1. Deckard, Pris, Rachel, Batty
2. Everett, Pete, Delmar
3. Katherine and Geoffrey Clifton
4. Goose, Iceman, Viper
6. Lambert, Dallas, Ripley, Brett
7. Wyatt, Billy, Jesus

Picking the low hanging fruit:

1 Blade Runner

4 Top Gun

Correct on both counts.

Watching Blade Runner at the moment, great film!

Stitchawl · 02-09-2012, 07:09 PM

6. Lambert, Dallas, Ripley, Brett "Alien"
7. Wyatt, Billy, Jesus "Easy Rider"

Also correct.

That's two each for Hamlet and Stitchawl and one for issybird.

Just number two to get.

Looking at this again, I have no idea why I skipped 5!

Stitchawl · 02-10-2012, 03:48 AM

#5 should have been Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frankincense, ......

"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," one of the worlds best movies...

Bilbo1967 · 02-10-2012, 06:31 AM

Number two is one of my favourite films. Sort of linked (very tangentially) to Stitchawl's previous comment.

Stitchawl · 02-10-2012, 06:41 AM

I just looked up #2. It's a movie I never even heard of!
If Bilbo says it's a fav, I'll have to give it a look-see!

I think no.2 is "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

And yes, it's an excellent movie. Well worth a watch.

It is indeed "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?". Well done.

The link to Stitchawl's mention of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" was in the word 'brothers'. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", as well as including the word 'brother', is a Coen brothers film (I did say it was pretty tangential).

I hope you manage to find and watch a copy, Stitchawl. Let us know what you make of it if you can.

As Stitchawl and Hamlet both got two each, I'll let them fight over the honour of posing the next question.
