Oh, so you know Norwegian, too, huh?

Your treachery knows no bounds!

Trying to move away from pop culture, which I despise in trivia comps...

Who said "Long may we say God save the Queen, because no-one will save the Governor General"?

Gough Whitlam.

Didya google it, Boog?

Of course, but I did think 5 minutes.

What's the name of Lee Donowitz's assistant in True Romance?

Lee was the director, right?

Balkey played the guy....right..?

Um....

I can't remember.

Elliot Blitzer

I so would have beat you to that if I had seen it in time

I haven't seen that film in over a decade, but I didn't google it.

Now I wanna go watch it again. Chris walken and Dennis hopper's interrogation scene is an all-time classic.
Can I have one of those Chesterfields now?

I have two DVDs of it, regular and director's cut. Remind me next time I see you, you can have my spare if you like

!!

I've been dying to see it again for a few weeks now.. but for some reason, we only seem to have it on VHS!
I nearly walked down the aisle to the main theme from it..

OK, here's some a trivia question for all you aged Gen-X bastards:

Is "Boyle" a Sicilian name?

I thought it was Irish.

It is. It's not so much that which bothers me, it's that I can imagine Tarantino writing the script, turning to Tony Scott, and saying, "Hey, guess what I'm gonna do?"

And Tony says, "What?"

"I'm gonna give the Italian Mafia lawyer a Mick name!"

"Mick?"

"Yeah, I'm trying to get inside this guys head, and that's what he'd call 'em."

"That's awesome! So awesome!"

"I know, it's just so cool to do random shit like this!"

"You're a freakin' genius!"

And they then take a ten minute break to snort coke of each other's erect penises. Again.

lmao.

I thought it might be a nod to Henry Hill, mick accountant extraordinaries.

If I'm thinking of the same music you are, and I'm not mistaken, that music is also in Badlands. Little hommage

Yah, but if you watch the clip you posted again, Boog, Ol' Blue specifically states his father was Sicilian. Within the first 30 seconds, in fact.

It's key, his being Sicilian.

One assumes his father is half Sicilian? I bet there's some good backstory with that, whether Hopper's invention or QT 's.

Could be that Boyle was a corruption of Boglio or something, and got changed to Boyle at Ellis Island or somewhere else along the line.
