Long Live wiki http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif !!!!

I can see why this thread died on the other forum!!!!!

You win the 'no prize' I love the fact he made Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme with the money originally meant for He-Man 2. I'm sure 'Children of Men' is the same film although as Cyborg was originally supposed to be a rock opera maybe they can get away with it...

Of course Sword and the Sorceror was the masterpiece and his latest film is the sequel, although I prefer the book http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Uff…just now I saw just now ….sorry for the delay


I win yupeee
Ok

Next question …this should be easyhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.gif

Q3

…. Wiki can give you all the answers...

I'm looking for the name of a director.

He is well known for his artistic approach of filmmaking.
During his career he directed only seven feature films and three short films during his time at the film school. In a 2002 Hollywood remake of one of his films the leading role was played by George Clooney.



On a personal note…I hated the remake http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Malta, land of my father...who'da thunk it?!

Are we talking about the guy that Ingmar Bergman held as the "the greatest [of us all], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream"....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_...ky#Filmography

He did direct Solaris 1972 which was later directed by - who also acted - George Clooney in 2002.

Steven Soderburgh??

2002 film Solaris.

EDIT: Bugger!! Just realised someone else has posted the answer!

Naa, David - we came up with different answers...soo, the call is Goth's!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Kaa has the right answer ...next question please http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Yay! So Tarkovsky is our man. I know mostly of him through Ingmar Bergman, who was greatly inspired by him.

soo - time for next Q, the pressure, the pressure..http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/eek.gif. I'll continue the film theme though but in good KWF manner slightly drifting..Its way behind lunchtime and Im hungry so here's next Q: Food and film this time!


Q4

I give you a couple of ingredients:
6-7 potatoes, 5-6 large eggs, 1 onion, olive oil, salt

The title of the dish made by these ingredients will give you part of a film title - which is a remake. The nationality (birth country) of the director of the original film made 1994 will lead you to another kitchen which among many has a popular dish that somehow will remind you of to the first dish, but this time accompanied by molluscs.

Now, do you have the names of those two dishes?


The googleyahoowiki etc will give you all you need!

Spanish Omelet, (Tortilla Espana)

Tortilla Soup - 1994 film by Ang Lee

Born in Taiwan

Oyster omelet is a dish from Taiwan!

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/cheerful.gif Right on, David! Winning post!
(trivia from Eat Drink Man Woman, the Sunday dinner scene in the beginning took 1 week to film - and is a great food experience! yummi!)

Now its your turn to Q us!
