Sandra Bullock once said, of her acting choices: “I’d rather take risks than make something that’s cookie cutter.” And truly, there are few movie stars who have truly made something for everyone, but in a career spanning more than 30 years, she’s done romance, she’s done comedy, she’s done action, she’s done sci-fi, she’s done drama, she’s done horror… she’s done a lot of different films we can ask questions about and we’re big fans anyway, which is why one of our three rounds this week is devoted to her work.
Once you’ve finished all 30 questions, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 31 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. A tiebreaker question – how do the three seashells work…?
