What's the connect?



Cracked by Amith. Highlight for the answer - Dashiell Hammet(pic 4) authored Red Harvest, which inspired Yojimbo( among other films such as 'A Fistful Of Dollars' and 'Last Man Standing'). Star Wars episode VI was codenamed 'Blue Harvest' as a parody. The Simpson's movie parodied the above codename, it's working title was 'Yellow Harvest'.

Not the Commonwealth one

Hello all,

The IITM Quiz Blog's baton is now passed on to not 1, not 2, but 7 moderators, so be sure that it is pretty regular for periods of time not seen since Srivats's stint as the moderator. And we will try to maintain a proper leaderboard too, starting with the question before this one. As for us, we had fun handling the blog (and for a good time, not handling it too) and hope the incoming batch enjoy the process too.

Cheers,
Tempo and Advaith
