| It's a rainy Saturday afternoon and you only possess enough energy to move your thumb to power the remote control. Sure, there's laundry to wash and errands to run, but your couch has the gravitational pull of a black hole. Suddenly, you stumble across one of "those movies." You've seen this flick a dozen times or so; it's as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt. There's no use fighting it, so you just put down the remote and settle in. Life is good. A few days later, you gather with friends at a bar and someone mentions they just saw one of their favorite movies on TV. The same one you just watched. Everyone exclaims they love that film, and before you know it, favorite lines and trivia questions are flying around the table. But because you and your friends know this movie so well, the degree of difficulty on these questions is higher. For this particular film, you and your friends qualify as "Cinema Savants." CINEMA SAVANTS™, the book, is a collection of trivia questions geared toward the Cinema Savant, the proud accumulator of ridiculously obscure data from blockbusters, cult classics and our very favorite films. Surprise yourself with how much you know about films like CADDYSHACK, THE MATRIX, GREASE, and twenty-two other films that are each, in one way or another, one of "those movies." |
