Film Trivia Meme, GCSE's and RD Repeats!
My vile mood has gotten a little better since this morning as I have just scoured the magazine and found out there are 3 episodes of Red Dwarf on during the week. Whoo! However I stole this cool little meme from the ever great
fantasy_bubbles!
I also got my GCSE results this week! I was SO happy with them! I'm not a straight A student and there were no A* on my results but I was grateful I passed them all.
I just hated the people who were saying "ohh I did rubbish" and they get A's and A*'s. I was happy with my results but these people are just people who like to make everyone else feel useless about their results just so people can say they did amazingly well. I am not a fan.
English Lit: A Science: B
English Lang: A Science: B
Drama: A ICT: B
RE: A Career Planning: B
Maths: B DT: D
French: B History: B
I got a B in Maths! Guys I can barely count to 10! This is a miracle! I got A's in the subjects I need so go me! And French!? Bonjour is literally the extent of my European vocabulary, so where the hell that B came from I will never know! I wish I could hear my oral tape; like a bloody French onion being sliced and diced. Actually a French onion would deliver better vocab than moi! Michaela will be please that my years of making hairballs and adding little notes to her boyfriends letters resulted in me getting a B! I am gobsmacked!
And I should really get on with the meme! Hehe:

1. School of Rock
Jack Black thought up all the nicknames for the kids.
2. Matilda
As a child, Miss Honey had a doll named Liccy Doll. One of the producers of the film is author Roald Dahl's widow, Liccy Dahl.
3. Dumb & Dumber
In order for Jeff Daniels to attain Harry's frizzy hair, during filming he was instructed to wash his hair only, and not to use conditioner, blow dry it, or even comb it.
4. Bridget Jones
While preparing for the role of Bridget, Renée Zellweger worked in a London office. On her desk in this office she kept a framed picture of then boyfriend Jim Carrey. Other office workers, who did not recognize her, found this to be odd, but never mentioned it to her for fear of embarrassing her.
5. Love Actually
For the "clean" TV version of the film, the lines "Now let's get pissed and watch porn" and "Where the f - - is my f - -ing coat?" were dubbed as "Now let's have a drink and watch some telly" and "Where in the world is my bloomin' coat?".
6. St Trinians
There is many references to "Pride & Predjudice" (1995). For example: Fritton's dog is Mr D'Arcy, one of the girls mentions Colin Firth. Colin Firth dripping in water after falling into the unused fountain and Stephen Fry asking the question "Which book was originally titled "First Impressions" (A: Pride and Prejudice).
7. Mrs Doubtfire
During the scene when Mrs. Sellner comes to inspect Daniel's apartment and Daniel/Mrs. Doubtfire is serving her tea, the icing on his/her face is melting off. This was not intentional. The heat from the set lights melted the icing on his face and Robin Williams improvised the bulk of that scene.
8. Wild Child
During the fire alarm, before Mrs. Kingsley discovers that Drippy is missing she calls out the name Daisy Bevan on the role list to check her presence - Daisy Bevan is in fact Natasha Richardson's real life niece, the daughter of Joely Richardson.
9. Me, Myself & Irene
The glasses that Whitey wears are in fact his real life glasses, including the little microscope on the end.
10. Grease
Rizzo's hickeys were real. Stockard Channing said in an interview that Jeff Conaway insisted on applying them himself.
