In the spirit of
fun and games, the
National Film Board of Ivanlandia begins the
47th Minute Project.
In other words, a “guess the movie” contest.
We’ll present the
47th minute of a film, and you try and guess the movie. Simple as duck soup!
Please leave your answer in the comments section.
Before we get started, some background:
Why the “
47th Minute?”
The High Command of the United Provinces of Ivanlandia are all graduates of
Pomona College of Claremont, California, United States of America, that’s why.
The
“47” Phenomenon and
Pomona are like some
Burroughsian language virus: People leave Pomona with an
unholy fascination with the number 47, and wind up spending the rest of their lives seeing it
everywhere. (And
sometimes they
continue to spread the
virus….)
“
Forty-seven. You can’t escape it,” another Pomona grad once told me.
And neither will you.
Heh, heh, heh…Interestingly enough, today’s entry into the
47th Minute Project (photo below) was very popular at Pomona College, being shown quite regularly, I seem to remember. Getting baked and watching today’s entry in the
47th Minute Project was always a great way to start an evening of carousing. Have fun! (Answers will be revealed in the next
47th Minute Project.)
(
BTW: This week’s featured film was actually borrowed from the personal DVD library of
Otto Mannix…not that that clue is going to help you—but who’d a’thunk a right-winger like him would dig a flick like this!—Although personally, I feel this week’s entry into the
47th Minute Project is pretty easy…But it’s always nice to start these things off simple…)
