ULTIMATE FILM FANATIC ON IFC BEGINNING JULY 9th 10:30pm E/P

"Film fans from across the country compete for the coveted title of Ultimate Film Fanatic. Competitions include tests of movie trivia, a debate round, and the "Obsessions War," a duel of personal memorabilia collections."

The game is pretty cool too. Some of the questions were tough, but I think most of you guys here can handle it.

I think they're also looking for contestants for the next film fanatic show, so if anyone is interested in trying out, here's the link to the tour schedule:

man, I don't have enough memorabilia to be considered a fanatic.  the quiz was for like casual fanatics--absolutely no foreign, indie, or pre-1970 films.

Excuses, excuses ;)

They're going to show the Ultimate Film Fanatic Auditions tonight on IFC at 8:30pm.

The opening questions were pretty easy. That guy Steven could NOT debate worth a crap ("...and all those things."). And although I agreed with Jordan's debate about Kill Bill, that other guy's "Phantom of The Paradise" helmet easy beats out seeing a movie a day.

yeah!  god, besides the Jason X year i knew every single question on this show!  TOO EASY.  the guys woody allen book was cooler than the other guys picture and hte PotP helmet was definitely better than the other guys list.

if anyone else cares, i will be on the Philly show for about 2 minutes before getting my ass handed to me in the first round.  OUR questions got real hard, real fast, not that i could compete with these guys in the memorabilia round anyways.  (i'm casual obsessive, these guys are obsessive obsessives!)

Yeah, I think the Jordan guy should have won with the Woody Allen book but they gave it to the other guy just to make the show a little more interesting. Then he won the final round just because he did better overall even though the helmet was way cooler.

In the debate round it's a lot easier to be the person saying you hated the movie because you can be more creative with insults instead of just standing there saying something's awesome like that one guy did.

And modernage, what was your question?

[MacGuffin]

You wanna be the Ultimate Film Fanatic but you don't know the name of the song McDowell sings during the beating in "A Clockwork Orange?"

Once again, easy first round questions. The debates could have been much better, plus Chris should have won on the Stallone topic. And none of the collectables were that impressive.

I can't wait to hear mod-age's intro of himself and why he should win.

[The Perineum Falcon]

I don't think Richard Dreyfuss should've been allowed to compete.

haha, mine sucks because the producers made me truncate it so it doesnt make any sense.  atleast i came up with my own though, unlike a bunch of the other contestants that came up with something that had to be 'jazzed up' to be funny by the producers.  i guess i should wait till it airs so you can try to guess which ones me instead of spoiling it now.  

i missed this weeks episode so ill have to catch a rerun hopefully soon, and also the auditions to see if i made that show in some small snippet.

[MacGuffin]

and also the auditions to see if i made that show in some small snippet.

Not that I saw, except for a very, very, very, very quick flash when I saw your nametag. It was in a subliminal way that I caught it.
