xander's turn and he picked Mickey Rooney from Virginia (another guy from NYC)
me and filthyvermin sat this one out

three strikes - no change

Everybody knows Randolph Scott was from Virginia - him and the Carter Family, that's the only things Virginia is famous for!

The Virginian - Randolph Scott

Another round.
I'm picking Frank Sinatra from New Jersey (correct).
filthyvermin passed on New Jersey. xander picked Zach Braff (correct).

filthyvermin 1052

xander's pick for Utah was Rainn Wilson (from Washington)
I know Loretta Young was from Utah but Utah totally skipped my mind. filthyvermin also skipped Utah.

three strikes - no change

Who could forget that Loretta Young was from Utah? She was so straight-laced that she would put a swear jar on the set. Anyone who said a naughty word had to put money in the jar.
That's the kind of thing you do if you're from Utah.

I remember going to Utah as a young man, and I was shocked. I had no idea how incredibly beautiful it was, at least the national parks. didn't see any other parts really

I think I got time for one more round before it's CraftPoker time.
We should all have this one: I take Jackie Chan from China (correct).
filthyvermin says ditto. xander says ditto.
I gotta count the movies but it won't change the standings.

FerencL 1881
xander biscuits 1708
filthyvermin 1191

filthyvermin is up next and he took Jean-Claude Van Damme from the Netherlands (unfortunately, he's "the muscles from Brussels")
me and xander didn't hazard a guess

three strikes - no change

xander is up next and he took Chris Tucker from Georgia (correct)
I took Denzel Washington (another NewYorker) while filthyvermin sat this one out.

damme it!

I don't think we've done Sweden yet. I took Ingrid Bergman (correct).
filthyvermin picked Madds Mikkelson (he's a Scandi alright but from Denmark) and xander went with Dolph Lundgren (correct).

my stupid Americanism is showing

Oh oh! A controversy.
filthyvermin's next pick is Morgan Freeman from the United States.
I assumed that we were gonna replace the USA with the 50 states.
But is that what I said?
Maybe filthyvermin has outsmarted us all.
OK, going back to page 1 of the Movie Quizz II rules to see what it says.

I'm back with the official rules. They say:
"Give me a list (without doing any research) of an actor/actress and their home state or country (state for USA, country for everyone else)."
The "everyone else" phrase means that the USA cannot be used as a country.
Nice try filthyvermin.

Needless to say, no points for anyone here.

So xander is up next and he picks Elijah Wood from Oregon (actually from Iowa).
I took Harold LLoyd (actually from Nebraska) and filthyvermin didn't hazard a guess.

Another 3 strikes - no change

Let's keep going because my next pick is one of the stupidest ever!
I took Jack Starrett from Wyoming.
I confused Jack Starrett (the director) with Charles Starrett (the actor) neither of whom are from Wyoming.
filthyvermin & xander decided not to even hazard a guess from this state where almost nobody lives.

3 strikes - no change

filthyvermin was up next with Charlize Theron from South Africa (correct)
xander went with Charlto Copley (correct) and I passed on this country

FerencL 1931
xander biscuuits 1834
filthyvermin 1248

xander's turn and he takes Humphrey Bogart from Washington (actually yet another guy from NYC)
I took Oliver Hardy (from Georgia, at least I knew better than to take Stan Laurel). filthyvermin waved the white flag.

3 srikes - no change

oh sorry about the Morgan Freeman USA thing. I wasn't trying to angle. genuinely thought we were all guessing one from USA.

and Charlize Theron has the craziest story from growing up in south Africa. iirc her abusive dad was coming to hurt or kill her mom and her... and her mom killed her dad! maybe right in front of her.

she's a very impressive person

Let's do another round.
I next pick is Andy Devine from Arizona (correct)
filthyvermin & xander passed on this one

FerencL 2102

filthyvermin 1248

the corner of Andy Devine and Route 66
I remember driving through Arizona (in the 70s) and seeing a "home of Andy Devine" sign
In the 70s a few people might have known who Andy Devine was.
Today, not too many.

filthyvermin has run out of picks - his final score will be 1248
xander picks Una O'Connor from Northern Ireland (correct)
I had 2 picks from Northern Ireland but I mislabeled both of them - no points for me
