During his audition, Y was sparring with X and accidentally punched him on the chin. X told Y to calm down, as it was only an audition, and Y said that if he was allowed to audition with a 'real' actor, not a stand-in, he would be able to do a lot better. Director John G. Avildsen smiled and told Y that X was the real actor (and the writer). Y looked at X thoughtfully for a moment, and said, "Well, maybe he'll get better." X immediately offered him the role.

Id X or Y&Z• During the production of the movie X the production designer Edward

T. McAvoy had to solve a problem. How to make a Y that was so special that the film's character Z would absolutely not allow his stinking boss to steal it from him and keep it. How would one said production designer do so? Well, by giving Z a fire engine red Swingline Y of course! With this idea in head, he called up Swingline and asked if they made such a Y. They unfortunately did not. McAvoy then asked: "Well, do you mind if I use your logo on the side of a Y I'm going to paint red?". Swingline did not mind

• X was released in 1999 and it was not until 2002 that after many requests from movie fans, Swingline decided to create and sell a red Y. It was in July of that year the company began started selling the Rio Red 747 Business Y (SWI74740/SWI74736).

Hitler and Goebbels believed that film was a very potent tool for moulding public opinion. The Nazis first established a film department in 1930 and Goebbels had taken a personal interest in the use of film to promote the Nazi philosophy and agenda. Soon after the Nazi takeover, Goebbels was insisting in speeches that the role of the German cinema was to serve as the "vanguard of the Nazi military" as they set forth to conquer the world.

X (original teaser title: Someone Wants to Meet You) is a 2000 television film that premiered on Nickelodeon on the night of October 28, 2000. The film was never aired outside the United States nor dubbed into other languages. It was also never re-aired or released on VHS or any other software media until 2011. It was believed to be because of controversies surrounding this film, that involved several parents complaining about the film's content that they found the film to be too scary and inappropriate for children. But a Nickelodeon representative stated that the film had been merely forgotten. Nick.com, however, claimed that it has been banned. In 2011, a copy was discovered on Reddit and the ensuing reaction prompted TeenNick to re-air the film on October 31, 2011, which they did for Halloween.

The Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC, also known as the Edison Trust), founded in December 1908, was a trust of all the major American film companies (Edison, Biograph, Vitagraph,Essanay, Selig, Lubin, Kalem, Star Film Company) the leading film distributor (George Kleine) and the biggest supplier of raw film stock, Eastman Kodak. The MPPC ended the domination of foreign films on American screens, standardized the manner in which films were distributed and exhibited in America, and improved the quality of American motion pictures by internal competition.

Many independent filmmakers, who controlled from one-quarter to one-third of the domestic marketplace, responded to the creation of the MPPC by moving their operations so that the distance from Edison's home base of New Jersey made it more difficult for the MPPC to enforce its patents. As a result the X was born.

X was originally activated by the military to control the national

arsenal on August 4, 1997, at which time it began to learn at a

geometric rate. On August 29, panicking operators realized the

extent of its abilities and tried to deactivate it. X perceived this

as an attack and to defend itself, X launched nuclear missiles

under its command at Russia, which responded with a nuclear

counter-attack against the U.S. and its allies. Consequent to the

nuclear exchange, over three billion people were killed in an

event that came to be known as Y.

Who on what? Also Y and Z

• “I was so extravagantly impressed by the portrayal of the reality of zero gravity. Going through the space station was done just the way that I've seen people do it in reality. ……around the spacecraft the way Y was. It really points out the degree of confusion and bumping into people, and when the tether gets caught, you're going to be pulled -- I think the simulation of the dynamics was remarkable.

• We were probably not as lighthearted as Y and Z. We didn't tell too many jokes when people were in some position of jeopardy outside the spacecraft, but I think that's the humanity coming through in the characters.”

X was shot under the title "The Eighth Day". This was a reference to the Biblical creation story, which states that the earth was created in six days and on the seventh day, God rested. The original title implies the tampering of man with what God has already made, and "The Eighth Day" is still the name of the center in the movie where the children are engineered, as noted on the DVD deleted scenes. By the time the much-delayed release of the film came around, the same title had been used by the Belgian film The Eighth Day. Because of this, writer-director Andrew Niccol was forced to choose a new title for his film.

What is the new title?

Hint: The name “X" is composed entirely of the letters used to label the nucleotide bases of DNA. The four nitrogen bases of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

After producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff became interested in the script, they offered writer _____ an unprecedented $350,000 for the rights, but he refused to sell unless they agreed to allow him to star in the film (this despite the fact that he had only $106 in the bank, no car and was trying to sell his dog because he couldn't afford to feed it). They agreed, but only on the condition that ____ continue to work as a writer without a fee and that he work as an actor for scale. After Winkler and Chartoff purchased the film, they took it to United Artists, who envisioned a budget of $2 million, but that was on the basis of using an established star (they particularly wanted Robert Redford, Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds or James Caan). United Artists didn't want _____ to star, and when Winkler and Chartoff told them that the only way they could get him to sell the screenplay was to agree to cast him, United Artists cut the budget to $1 million, and had Chartoff and Winkler sign agreements that if the film went over budget, they would be personally liable. The final cost of the film was $1.1 million. The $0.1 million came after Chartoff and Winkler mortgaged their homes so as to complete the project.

"He saw the true face of the 20th century and chose to become a reflection, a parody of it. No one else saw the joke, that's why he was lonely. Heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But, doctor...I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains. Fade to black."

To a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to the character covered in eyeballs, the style and themes of X are clearly recognizable throughout.
