RE: Movie Brands quiz


I must be the only one that doesn't get any of the clues.  I don't watch the right movies or tv I guess.

Hm, I must be the only fan of his movies. At this point I'll take the name of any of his movies or the writer/director, but he's pretty well known as the director.

The character he plays in his own movies wears shorts and a trench coat, and although prominent, says very little.

His first movie takes place in a convenience store, another in a mall, and another takes place in Mooby's. One of them as George Carlin in it.

The logo for Mooby's is a golden cow.

Yep, it's Kevin Smith. Since Clerks II took place mostly inside Mooby's, I really expected that one to be easy.

Sorry, "Clerks" is the only one on that list that I saw, and I didn't care for it much to see the sequel.  But your hints did the trick.

That's not Jenny's number  hmm

I think all TV & movie phone numbers begin with 555 - no idea on the rest!

8. 555-2368. Phone companies have reserved the 555 prefix from 0100-0199 for fictional purposes such as movies and T.V. shows. This happened because it started to become problematic when writers would make up fake numbers for their fictional purposes, only to have fans dial the number and disrupt a real person who hadnt intended for their number to be put out there for national use. This still presents a bit of a problem one of the most widely-used fake 555 numbers is 555-2368, which clearly falls out of the 0100-0199 territory.

Here's a hint: One of the movies the number was in was an 80's number where the number was shown on the screen at least once.

Name a show, cartoon, or comic strip OTHER THAN LOONEY TUNES that has a business named Acme.

(There's lots of these and the list I have only lists a few, so even if it's not on my list, it might still be right.)

The only one that comes to mind is Looney Tunes...

Although the Green Bay Packers were originally sponsored by the Acme Meat Packing Company in 1919.

As far as guesses go, I will say Batman (the series from the 60's)

As far as I know (again, it might just not be on my list), there's no Acme in Batman.

But I know you have watched or read at least one of the things with Acme in it. I think somewhere on the forum every one of these on my list have been at least mentioned.

I gave a big clue in the question. There's a couple comic strips that have used Acme, and they're commonly listed as people's favorites.

Acme does more than supply gadgets too. In one show, they made chocolates. In another, they're a detective agency.

9. Acme is obviously associated with Looney Toons, but other shows and movies have picked up on the gag as well. The name originated because when the Yellow Pages were first introduced, tons of businesses started naming themselves Acme or Ace to get at the top of the listings. The Looney Toons Acme and other Acme references poke fun at this (and some are referencing the Looney Toons Acme directly).

Calvin and Hobbes often referenced Acme on the box when Calvin was making transmogrifiers and other imaginative machines.
The Far Side used the company name in various comics, too.
Bullwinkle once pretended to sell Acme vacuums on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
The Simpsons makes reference on a somewhat regular basis, including during Itchy and Scratchy episodes.
The candy factory Lucy and Ethel work at in that famous episode is the Acme Candy Factory.
The detective agency in the Carmen Sandiego series is the ACME Detective Agency.
The Last Action Hero references Acme products.
Wallys Filling Station in The Andy Griffith Show sells Acme fuel.

You've got it!

10. 2GAT123. Next time youre watching something, keep a close eye on the license plates to see if you spot these numbers. It almost always appears on a California license plate and is used because California doesnt actually use the letter combination GAT on real plates. Another one you might spot is 2FAN321.
