Tin Huey 

was our last trivia night as my friend is going to teach in austria for a semester and then off to wales to await his sire.

went out with a bang as we tied for first though this was unacknowledged as the bartender gave an answer to the supposed victors. god know the actual results and thats all i really care about.

got two free shots based on these questions both of which i got. the second one seems pretty easy but i dont recall many knew or it was the end of the night and they just left before cashing in. we stuck around for the spicy bourbon/apple concoction and in the process were informed that the free shots were made from alcohol that was perhaps not especially favored by the clientele. still tasted pretty good.

1) who was president of the weimar republic that agreed to appoint hitler chancellor of germany?

2) what year was psycho released and what was the name of actress left in a puddle of her own blood in the shower scene?

3) whats the bauhaus hit song that is considered the beginning of goth and what year was it released?

4) what was the actual or colloquial name of the party teddy roosevelt ran under as in independent in 1912?

1) Field Marshal Von Hindenburg 4) Bull Moose

• Whew, almost went with 1959. I knew it was one year later than North By Northwest, which still amazes me.

• amazes you in that they are stylistically different or just so soon in succession? vertigo was in 58.

• So different stylistically, but a film a year is also pretty amazing.

• Woody is known to make a film a year, but he’s no Hitchcock.

• Actually I think Woody and Hitchcock are pretty well matched in a lot of ways. Both are innovators but I don't think Woody's films were particularly influential on other writers or directors. According to imdb Woody has 55 director credits, and counting, to Hitchcock's 70. But he has 79 writing credits to Hitch's 27. They both acted but Woody has him beat when it comes to screen time. Not sure but I don't think a film a year is uncommon for a lot of directors.

• During the heart of his career, from 1935 to 1960, Hitchcock made 30 feature films, so averaging more than one a year (not counting shorts, docs, and TV.) John Ford made 40 over the same period. Directors, and the industry in general, don’t crank it out like that anymore. I don’t think many keep up a film a year pace these days, but Woody’s made it part of his shtick. He and Hitch are noteable as directors whose name sells the film to the general public, but that was much rarer in Hitchcock's day.
