*Introductory theme tune*

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. looking up answers; asking others)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

Joeyy | 22-08-2015 20:44

Is that love for Keira or for the film?

I first watched 'Love Actually' with my first girlfriend and she got all mad at me during it, so I didn't watch it again for years because it made me think of that, lol.

Joeyy | 22-08-2015 20:45

Poor Helen Hunt was treated to a freeze-dried rat by crazy co-star Mel Gibson on the set of 'What Women Want'.

Captain_Keeta | 22-08-2015 20:52

Oops, spelled her name wrong and it's love for her. She's so fine.

Joeyy | 22-08-2015 22:02

Yeah, it's one of those.

It doesn't matter about spelling as long as the pronunciation wouldn't really be altered.

CarlJ | 22-08-2015 22:52
