Not Very Bright Pointless Contestants And Robert Redford

[gollob]

The question was name a Robert Redford film and between them the contestants could only name three out of ten, Wrong answers were The towering inferno, The seven samari, King of Tides, Prince of Persia, Sea Biscuit, THE good,the bad, the ugly.Stake Out.
Researchers you certainly know how to pick thick contestants

[pretty_snowdrop]

I couldn't name a Robert Redford film either.

[yogasun]

Me neither I know nothing about films. I know the names of quite a few and see the popular ones but generally have no idea who is in them.
I do not describe myself as thick.

[Svejk]

Gollob. As you can see I thought it strange enough to put a thread up.
I got a load of 'who's he' type answers as well. Lol. Must be an age thing.

[Mamyalynne]

Not a Robert Redford fan or even a film buff really - things are only easy if you know them. Hey ho.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I couldn't name a Robert Redford film but I can reel off the names of every moon in the solar system without looking.
Can you?
It's all about your field of knowledge.

[Zacs-Master]

Never confuse knowledge with intelligence.

[zebo]

Like Tarrant used to say They're only easy if you know the answer. There have been times on Pointless, and other quizes, where I've not recognised any of the bands, groups etc. because they're not my thing.

[gness]

Don't know about an age thing, Sweaty....maybe a sign of a misspent youth... watching all those films...rather than an indicator of intelligence.

[Svejk]

Gness, I haven't impugned anyones intelligence. Glass houses and all that.
Mojojo, I'd like to see that.

[gness]

Ah,Sweaty...but Gollob did.......x

[Buenchico]

I couldn't name any Robert Redford films!

I've not been to the cinema for over 15 years and I only watch a handful of films on TV or DVD each year. (Most of those I do watch will be French, Spanish, Indian or occasionally British. Most Hollywood movies simply don't interest me).

So perhaps I shouldn't even try to answer any questions here on AB as (according to Gollob) I'm not very bright!

[knowabit]

Was he in Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid? I know he was in Indecent proposal.... So that's the only 2 I know, and that's only if the first one is correct! Lol

[Tilly2]

They were not much better on Historic prisons were they?

Why are we watching repeats at the moment?

[Sam1960]

who's Robert Redford !!

[ichkeria]

If you aren't a film fan you will be stuffed on a question like that.
Doesn't mean you are "thick" necessarily.
It's not as if "Robert Redford" is in the title :-)

[Svejk]

I'm sure gollob meant this as a light-hearted thread and doesn't,imo, deserve the aprobum(is that right,tilly?) being directed at him/her.
And let's be honest, they were a bunch of thickos, weren't they.;)

Butch Cassidy

Out of Africa - ee vars Feench Atton.
My mother's comment was Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) didnt speak like that - no one does. She spoke like one of us.

Feench Atton only crashed his aircraft because he insisted on flying it half cut the whole time. Time came when he drove it into a hill.

Great Gatsby

[gness]

Well, Svejk...I seem to have rattled your cage on this for some reason.
I can't see how not knowing Redford films makes for a thick contestant as implied.

[Peter Pedant]

Goillob I side with you

Time was when all six got 200.

but doesnt it make you wanna get on ?
