Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: Winter Passing

Image via WikipediaThere were three submissions for this quiz and only one was correct. I keep trying to make the questions hard enough to stump all the LAMBs, but I haven't succeeded yet!

See the bottom of this post for the next question.

Here's the last question again:

A movie featured a character who slept outside in his yard on a bed with an end table and lamp on either side of it. Which actor played the outdoor-snoozing character and what is the name of the movie?

The answer:

Ed Harris as Don Holden in Winter Passing

Winter Passing is a dreary but still marginally interesting study of a strange family, which includes a father who is an eccentric writer (hence the sleeping outdoors), and a daughter, played by Zooey Deschanel. There's also an odd duck caretaker portrayed by Will Farrell, who plays against his usual type by being pretty subdued.

Here's the winning LAMB:

Brian Dutkewich from The Cynical Blog named both Ed Harris and Winter Passing correctly.

The following LAMBs get honorable mention for their guesses:

Dylan from Blog Cabins guessed Sam Rockwell in Box of Moonlight. This was disqualified because Sam Rockwell's character only sort-of sleep outdoors on a bedroom set; his bedroom furniture was actually located in part of a trailer open to the outdoors. Other furniture in his "house" was located outdoors though.

Dean Treadway from filmicability with Dean Treadway guessed Harvey Atkin in Meatballs and Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Neither of the characters slept in their own yards, so these don't qualify.

Here's the next question:

A movie character confesses to someone over a hot fudge sundae in a New Jersey diner that he/she murdered a doorman, cut him up, put the pieces into plastic bags in the freezer and was in the process of throwing him away, bit by bit. Which actor/actress played that character and what is the name of the movie?

(This question's a bit grim. Sorry!)

To qualify, your answer must include the following:

1. Both parts of the answer
2. Your name
3. Your blog's name
4. Your blog's URL
