Last time, Film School Friday taught loyal readers how to build a cinematic universe. It's a lot like Lego really. Once you've finished building something and it looks like crap, just smash it all down again and try again using the same pieces a couple of years later. God knows it worked for Spider-Man...
As we reach our 30th edition here at Film School Friday, I thought it was about time all you loyal readers (hi again mum) are rewarded with a prize, something that you will take away and cherish for the rest of your days here on earth... The title was probably a give away for those of you who can read, but yes, that's right guys. It's time for... ANOTHER END OF TERM QUIZ!
Me - "Yeah seriously. That's how much I love you guys!"
Loyal Reader - "I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and I'm beyond excited to see how much knowledge I can remember from the previous fourteen editions of Film School Friday."
Me - "That's awesome, but wait. There's more..."
Loyal Reader - "Gasp!"
Me - "For every question you answer correctly, I will spare your life."
Loyal Reader - "Wow... errr...."
Me - "Wait, come back! Everyone, sharpen your pencils, pick holes in your rubbers and get your paper airplanes ready for today's lesson."
Lesson #30 - End of Term Quiz
The quiz will work like this; Each question will relate to a previous edition of Film School Friday and will have three possible answers. For each correct answer you give, you will receive one point. The answers will be revealed at the end of the quiz. Once you've tallied your score, please tell me what you got in the comment section below. Now remember, participation is mandatory... but prizes are not. Lucky for you then that the winner will instead receive the respect and adoration of my million plus readership.
Now don't think of this as a test to check whether any of you have actually bothered to read any of the previous articles in this feature. Think of it as a way to prove your superior knowledge over your fellow film lovers and revel in your own brilliance. Cheating will result in a lifetime ban from Film School Friday Quizzes, so think very carefully before you do so. I'm not saying I have surveillance on each and every one of you but I was one of the Spy Kids growing up so...

If you got less than five right, you should just stop breathing right now.
If you answered between six and ten questions correctly, you need to go and watch every Adam Sandler film in a row, from beginning to end, forwards and backwards. When the men in white coats come to take you away, tell them that David sent you!
Finally, if you managed to answer more than ten correctly, then congratulations! You may live another day...
If by some miracle you got every single question right, then maybe you should consider using your abilities to form a team of outcasts who pursue a dream of co-existence with the humans.
Thank you everyone who took part in my mandatory quiz this week and don't forget to post your scores below! The winner will receive the kind of self esteem that money just can't buy. If that's not enough though, come back in two weeks to learn how to get the perfect haircut. I'm not saying you could use the advice, but...
