Movie Trivia: As of January 2011, which of these TV shows has not yet been made into a movie?

Doesn't it seem like movie makers don't have any original ideas anymore - that they are all sequels and remakes?  Of the Top 10 selling movies of 2010, just four were not sequels or remakes.  As a child of the 80s, I swear, it seems like Hollywood is slowly strip-mining my childhood to turn it into a film.

Still, not EVER TV show has been redone.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: Movies Trivia - As of January 2011, which of these TV shows has not yet been made into a movie?  Dragnet, the A-Team, Fraggle Rock or Lost in Space?

Music Trivia: What Pennsylvania city is the subject of a Billy Joel song?

One of the great classic rock artists is Billy Joel.  The man is a classic rock legend who has sung many a song about the American heartland.  One song in particular, however, stands out.  So, off of Pocket Trivia:  Music Trivia -  What Pennsylvania city is the subject of a Billy Joel song?  Is it Allentown, Levittown, Bethlehem or Pittsburgh.

Music Trivia: What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?

Actors frequently make cross-overs into music, often with disastrous or hilarious results (ever heard Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy?  Ouch).  Sometimes commercial successes, other times failures, these songs frequently prove why a legitimate double-threat (acting & singing combo) is so rare.

However, they aren't all bad.  In fact, sometimes they can sound halfway decent and be commercial successes.  So, off of our newest game, Pocket Trivia - Music Trivia:   What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?  Was it Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Molly Ringwald or Tracey Ullman?

Two new additions: A game, and a baby

As you may have noticed, Mr. Pocket has been pretty quiet lately.  There is a good reason for that, however!

On Sunday, April 10, Mr. & Mrs. Pocket celebrated the birth of their Little Pocket, Auron Connor.

Both Auron Connor and and Mrs. Pocket are doing great, and Mr. Pocket is absolutely, positively over the moon, and I am sure you can understand why we'll be a little quieter for the next little while.

Now, last week, in the insanity that was trying to care for my pregnant wife, we did release a new game:  Music Trivia.  With 250 questions on a variety of music trivia, you are guaranteed hours of fun. Go download it!

Now it's time to go play with the Little Pocket.  See you folks in a bit.

Movies Trivia: What 1989 movie features the Nintendo Power Glove?

I grew up in the 80s, and as the name of my business would (Pocket Protector Games) would indicate, I am a nerd and proud of it.  And, as an 80s nerd, I grew up on Nintendo...and desperately wanted a Power Glove when it first came out.  It barely worked, but that's a totally different story.  It was a great idea, one that helped to inspire the wildly popular Wii.  Anyway, one classic 80s movie featured the Power Glove and gave it a prominent role during one scene.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: Movies Trivia - What 1989 movie features the Nintendo Power Glove?  Is it Weekend at Bernie's, Super Mario Brothers, Honey I Shrunk the Kids or The Wizard?

Movies Trivia: What film was Brandon Lee filming when he was accidentally killed by a prop gun?
