saber5055 April 13, 2019 Author Share April 13, 2019 WEEK 31 — NO asterisk 149. Hollywood History. On June 6, 2018 the Chinese Theatre dimmed its lights to honor Jerry Maren, who lived to the greatest age of any of this 1939 group. 150. Physics Terms. Ironically, it’s a metaphor meaning a huge step forward, but this 2-word process only occurs on a subatomic scale. 151. European History. In 2000 the Russian Orthodox Church canonized 7 members of this family, 82 years after their deaths. 152. Celebrities. This inductee into the Video Hall of Fame sold 17 million copies of a videocassette she released in 1982. 153. Literary Adaptations. The director of the 2018 TV version of this 1953 classic said yes, books were harmed in the making of this motion picture. 1 Link to comment
SHD April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 Week 31: 2/5, because my paper was one degree off from burning :-( Link to comment
Fex April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 5/5, woohoo! I barely came up with Jane Fonda in time, phew! 1 2 Link to comment
SHD April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 How many weeks are in this contest? I don’t recall how many new weeks there are in a season. I’m pretty sure I’m dead last in this and I’m curious when my weekly shame will end. LOL Link to comment
biakbiak April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 5/5! It seems like there have been a lot Of entertainment related questions lately. That version of Fahrenheit 451 is sitting on my TiVo not being watched since it premiered on HBO almost a year ago! 1 Link to comment

I saw the post either today or yesterday. But don't quote me because I don't know for a fact. While contest rankings change week to week, you are not dead last, which is too bad since dead last wins a guaranteed prize. So does second to dead last! Almost everyone wins a prize in this contest. (Except me, gah.) 1 Link to comment

Clanstarling April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 2/5 - I started out strong in the contest, now I'm down to middlin'. Oh well. It's still fun. Got a ton of the regular clues though (I say to myself as I look at the FJ score sadly). 1 Link to comment

saber5055 April 20, 2019 Author Share April 20, 2019 WEEK 32 — NO asterisk 154. Stamps. Living people are rarely seen on a stamp, but in July 1945 the USPS issued one depicting this military event. 155. International News. In 2014 this 10,000-square-mile region moved its clocks forward 2 hours to Moscow Standard Time. 156. 20th Century Literary Characters. His first name refers to the ancient district in which you’d find the Greek capital; his surname is a bird. 157. Comic Book Superheroes. During his years with the Justice League of America, this superhero sometimes used the identity “C. King.” 158. British Monarchs. A “VI” has followed these 3 royal names of English kings.

zoey1996 April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 Week 32 - 2/5 Season to date - 76/158, 10* I'm nothing if not consistent! I keep getting 2/5. 1 Link to comment
Sharpie66 April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 4/5. British Monarchs was a gimme, but I totally guessed on Aquaman! 1 Link to comment
GenerationX April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 3/5. Monday and Tuesday were instagets, and Friday was a pure luck. Since I know next to nothing about British royalty, I went with the first three names that came to mind and figured/guessed they must've had the most different people use those names. 1 Link to comment
Clanstarling April 21, 2019 Share April 21, 2019 3/5. If I'd only heard "sea king" instead of "seeking", it would have been 4/5. Sigh... 2 Link to comment
Good Queen Jane April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 2/5. I got better as the week went on. 1 Link to comment

That’s how I read/heard it as well. I doubt it would help because my knowledge of the Justice League is limited to ignoring the trailer for the 2017 movie. 3 Link to comment

I used to read Aquaman comics when I was little - so I might have worked my way there if I'd heard it right. Link to comment
