This past weekend London’s Olympia 2 played host to The Entertainment Media Show and Collectormania, two days of excessive geekery and sci-fi celebrity spotting along with the Sky Movies Ultimate Film Quiz, of which HeyUGuys were a part. Dave Sztypuljak, Em Breen and I entered the arena with our heads buzzing with cinematic knowledge, eager to match wits and enjoy ourselves.

Celebrity team captains were promised and we were soon introduced to the man whose imposing figure faced off against Slyvester Stallone in the Rocky films, and who fought back the original Predator. Carl Weathers stood before us and he seemed to be a perfect fit. ‘Who’s the brains?’ he asked to a slightly befuddled team. It was clear to all involved that he was the brains.

So, we had the man Carl Weathers on our team, and fighting spirit duly instilled we sat alongside the teams from Total Film with team captain Marshall Bell, Empire, who had Borg queen Alice Krige at the helm, and SFX Magazine, led by former Doctor Who Paul McGann. All guest team captains were suitably bemused and charmingly game and so we headed into the fray undaunted.

Sky Movies man Mark Dolan led the charge through the questions which took us on a merry jaunt through Hitchcock cameos, tall tales from the Wizard of Oz and obscure taglines. We got off to a great start and plunged instantly into minus figures when we felt the burn of being buzzer happy. Cementing our position as underdogs we watched the opposing teams stretch out long leads while we eventually emerged into positive figures before falling foul of the almost prescient abilities our our knowledgeable opponents, but we still got a question on Backdraft right – and that made us happy.

In the end it was a tie breaker between the guys from SFX and Empire, with Kim Newman’s heroic leap into the dark to pluck out the name of a film based on a Neil Simon play which won the day. Congratulations go to Empire then, but we had Carl Weathers on our side, and that’s something.

All t-shirts you see were kindly provided by Last Exit to Nowhere who, let’s be honest, are in a class of awesome all on their own. Give them a click here.

Here’s something that we’re rather looking forward to! It’s a fun event that no one will want to lose! HeyUGuys have entered a movie quiz against some of the biggest names in UK Movie Media as we’ll be putting a team up in a movie quiz against the likes of TotalFilm, SFX Magazine and Empire Magazine. That quiz is called ‘Sky Movies Ultimate Film Quiz’.

Today, Sky Movies HD (who are sponsoring the event) have issued a press release announcing the event which will take place at the Entertainment Media Show (formerly Collectormania) on Sunday, November 28th at Earls Court. The EMS will run over that whole weekend from 27th – 28th November). The quiz will be hosted by Mark Dolan, presenter of the Sky Movies movie show, 35mm and on top of that, we’ll be joined by a celebrity captain! If that’s not enough to entice you along, Sky will be offering audience members the chance to win prizes including a Sky + HD box with a years free subscription to the service.

Jon and I will both be attending and it would be great to see as many of you down there as possible to support us! Our friends from Last Exit to Nowhere will also be at the event proving all the apparel so it’ll be a great event! I’ll let you read the press release and if you have any questions, feel free to ask on twitter (@HeyUGuysBlog) or in the comments section below.

The Entertainment Media Show Announce Addition of Sky Movies Ultimate Film Quiz to Event Line-up

London, 4^th November 2010:– On Sunday 28^th November, Sky Movies will separate the film buffs from the bluffs in the ‘Sky Movies Ultimate Film Quiz’, which will see the cream of the UK’s movie media compete against each other at the Entertainment Media Show at Earls Court Olympia 2 in London.

Apparently there’s some little football tournament starting tonight called the World Cup? Anyone know about it?! The Fifa World Cup sees 32 teams go head to head for probably the most recognised sporting trophy in the world.

So, to get you in the mood, it was only right that today’s HeyUGuys Friday lunchtime quiz would focus around the sport of Football (or soccer if you’re in the US).

This is quite a hard one I think this week so if you get stuck, as always, head over to our handy new forum and discuss what the answers might be.

Everyone knows I have a thing for Jerry Bruckheimer movies so i thought it was about time I indulged myself and used him as the topic for the HeyUGuys Friday game, especially as he’s just been honoured by the AFI. Some of the movies in the selection below were also produced by the late, great Don Simpson along with Bruckheimer so look out for some golden oldies in there.

This is your chance to chill out on a Friday lunchtime, email this game around the office and see if you can get the answer to all the 10 movies shown below. There’s no prize for coming first, just respect!

So, put down what you’re doing and do you best to answer all 10 images from the cropped photos. If you get stuck head over to the brand new HeyUGuys forum to ask for clues from your fellow game players.

It’s Friday, we all know that you dont want to be doing work so why not spend 10 minutes on our wonderful quiz looking that the lives of The Coen Brothers? Below, we have 10 questions that you’ll love if you’re a fan (or even not a fan) of the Coen Brothers’ work.

Their latest movie, A Serious Man is released on Blu Ray and DVD this Monday and we currently have a competition where you can win a copy of this awesome movie on Blu Ray. Click here to enter or check out our review of the movie here. If you want even more then we can oblige as we have an exclusive look at A Serious Man from behind the scenes which you can see here.

So, this Friday, pass this onto your friends and get playing in your offices around the world, then roll on the weekend!
