Answers to Patch's Thanksgiving Pop Culture Quiz

The answers to Thursday's pop culture quiz may give you some movie suggestions for the holiday weekend.

And the answers to Patch's Thanksgiving Pop Culture Quiz are:

  1. In this Thanksgiving-centered movie, a woman gets very upset after Robert Downey, Jr. accidentally drops a turkey on her. If Downey's youthful looks don't make you realize the movie's a little dated, the fact that he pulls out a Polaroid camera to snap her reaction certainly will. Jodie Foster
  2. The director of last year's strange, critically acclaimed "The Tree of Life" directed Colin Farrell and Christian Bale in this film about the sequence of events that led to the first Thanksgiving. "A New World."
  3. The Thanksgiving meal occurs off-screen in this comedy directed by North Shore native John Hughes that includes multiple forms of transportation. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." John Candy.
  4. Adam Sandler says grace at a Thanksgiving meal that includes a who's who of comedic actors (Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman) in this appropriately titled movie. "Funny People." Judd Apatow.
  5. As the longest running American sitcom (and animated program), this show has had ample opportunity to poke fun at Thanksgiving. "The Simpsons." See the YouTube clip above.

Congratulations to Joan Burny for getting all the answers right!

When reading my story above you probably are wondering why I didn't use customary paragraphs inRead More composing this article. The fact is I did! However, those AOL/Patch software designers who recently put this new format together didn't allow for paragraphs, boldfacing and some other essential typographical aids that make stories more readable. I have no idea why. Hopefully this oversight will soon be corrected. Ed Collins, Contributor

Ed, I completely agree with your format comment - eliminating paragraphs and other aids makesRead More articles much less readable. Jacob, why the change? It isn't like you have to spend more money on printing pages. Please address.
