12.) James Whitmore, who played Brooks Hatlen in Shawshank, played a cop in Them.

In Them, he died a good death.

This is a pretty tough quiz. Shawshank is my favorite movie by a landslide, so I have had AMC on in the background every night this week.

I really struggled with the characters in other movies question, especially since I have never seen Them or The Mist.

Otherwise, I think I got 10/12 that directly pertained to the film. Not bad.

Now looking at others' answers, I think I misinterpreted question 10. I guess it was turning his head to look at the three deposits when Andy put The Bible in the safe.

This was kind of subjective, but what the simple few second action I thought was when Norton HANDED ANDY HIS BIBLE BACK to him through the bars after he tossed his cell! Had he kept it, he would have had his rock hammer.

12.What character (actor) was in 'Them'?
James Whitmore (Brooks Hatlen)
13.What was the third noun that Tommy forgot to underline? "limb" on the blackboard

#10 Could also have been what ya'll said about Norton turning his head to look at the deposits, or maybe calling him 'obtuse'

AU,Tiger348 you got it right!

Yeah that would be the consensus answer, I was just thinking of when Norton handed Andy his bible back through the bars after he tossed his cell.

Yeah, I struggled with this one, but I think I did pretty damn good. Of course, I had it in on in the background a couple nights this past week.
