Yasamin pulls in the highest score so far with 7 out of 10 correct...and Doug was a close second with 6. And Yasamin, many thanks for the birthday e-card! It's one of the best cards I've ever received...no bullshit...!
1. Adjusting for inflation, Cleopatra (1963), is the most expensive movie ever made to date. Its budget of $44 million is equivalent to:
B. $270 million
And that was one good-looking movie...as with all the Roman epics of that era in movie history, this movie was too damn long, but I love those old movies. No digital effects, no digital sets, extras, whatever...all the magic had to happen on the set...hmmm...

A. The Romans
3. Bette Midler, Barry Manilow and many other famous vocalists got their start in a New York City club called:

CBGBs is probably the only NY club that I know of...so I was kind of throwing it in there for fun and kind of because I was too lazy to look up the name of another actual club in NYC...and I don't know if there's a Riviera club in New York, but it sounded kind of good...wasn't that the name of one of the casinos in Vegas Stakes?
