Question 572: wHO can it be?

Who?
What is the significance of this question?

Question 571: Egypt's Karma?

__X__ comprises a vast mix of ruined temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings, notably the Great Temple of Amun and a massive structure begun by Pharaoh Ramses II(ca. 1391–1351 BC). Sacred Lake is part of the site as well. It is located near Luxor, some 500 km south of Cairo, in Egypt. The area around __X__ was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The __X__ complex takes its name from the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of el-__X___, some 2.5 km north of Luxor.

The history of the __X___ complex is largely the history of Thebes and its changing role in the culture.The earliest known artifact found in the area of the temple is a small, eight-sided temple from the Eleventh Dynasty, which mentions Amun-Re. Amun (sometimes called Amen) was long the local tutelary deity of Thebes. He was identified with the Ram and the Goose. The Egyptian meaning of Amen is, "hidden" or, the "hidden god".

It hasn't been as significant a tourist site as The pyramids of Giza, etc, but it rose to prominence it 2001 and once again in 2009.
So:
1) ID X
2) ID why it rose to prominence in those years.

Question 570: The Girls and I Head This Way

ID each of the characters in the pictures for a point each. No points for the 3rd one.
7 points for the binding connect. The connect is NOT that they're all on movies or TV or something that general.

Question 569: Yes We Mccann

A very late question (a month old i guess), but i just found out about it and im posting it on both blogs
The Quizzard & Another Blog in The Wall.


This is an excerpt of an episode from CSI, im not going to tell you when it was aired. 
It features the return of a very popular character, the synopsis is as such.


The character ___X___, played by ___Y___, is a troubled teen worried about his brother.


It begins with __Y__ warning Stokes not to enter his house as it may be booby trapped (the irony of this phrase chosen will come to light when you crack the question). Stokes enters either ways, finds out that its a bomb, gets extracted by CSI squad, & is grateful to __Y__.


Although Stokes tries to interrogate __Y__ about the attempted house bombing, the teen remains tight-lipped about who the perpetrator is, and he's eventually picked up by his legal guardian. Soon after, the CSIs pay a visit to  __Y__'s guardian, only to find him dead inside his work warehouse. Unfortunately, beneath his dead body is a device that traps Stokes and his team inside the building as a bomb surrounded by lasers ticks away.


Greg and Sara find a surveillance video of  __Y__ buying bomb-making supplies with an accomplice: Timothy Johnson, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist who was dishonorably discharged from the Army several years ago. Nick realizes that  __Y__ has been playing him, and Sara points out that he, Catherine and Vartann were the ones who killed  __Y__s brother—and they were the ones trapped in the booby-trapped building. Nick and Greg work to track  __Y__ by calling his cellphone, and they are able to locate his general area. The cops set up a roadblock and stop the van containing  __Y__ and Johnson as they try to escape to California. Johnson would rather give up than die, but Jason has other ideas. 


He yells that Johnson has a bomb on his body, and during the momentary confusion, __Y__ pulls out a gun and shoots one of the cops . Nick and the others return fire, killing __Y__ in a hail of bullets, as his corpse floats like a feather before gracing the sweet ground.


SImply ID X & Y.
The reason why this became famous will immediately come to light then

Y(can't tineye this, you should get it though)

Question 568: Marry whaaat?

Ah, xkcd. Isn't it great?
Anyway, easy one.

They should call her what?
Because she just got what?

Question 567: What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.

Apt title for this clip, which is also a quote from the original.
ID the parody, ie, what is being parodied.
The title should give you a hint.

Question 566 : He keeps invading my space...

Check the answer for the question: Meanwhile, in the legion of doom....
A little surprise left by Pranav
Also, try attempting Question 561
Seems to have gotten lost in the theme
We do have 4 other authors you know.

The lady ____X____, now infamous for having had a long-standing affair with ___Y____, was the feature of much speculation when a popular international magazine published a series of never-before-seen photographs recently. The series included much of __X's__ life prior to meeting __Y__ (23 years her senior), while modeling for publicity photographs. It also included some very intimate photographs of __Y's__ private life, a perspective that very few could afford until recently.

Mine Bonny lies over the wall

She is also notorious for resorting to several (as many as 4 documented) attempts at suicide (failed, obviously) to maintain __Y's__ undivided attention to her; something he could not afford given his well known proclivities. He kept her hidden from public knowledge, so much so that the public did not know of her until their joint and untimely death. In fact, the only time she made a public appearance with him was as his "secretary", at the House, to her family's utter disappointment. He eventually married her when he was 56, and she was 33, in a hasty civil ceremony; only 40 hours before their deliberate deaths.

She is potrayed as one of the most interesting characters in a graphic comic series by the well-known Osamu Tezuka (of Astroboy fame) in the 1990s, dramatizing __Y's__ life (loosely).

Give me X and Y.

P.S. - sorry about the late answer on Question 551 - check the answer out for a special treat.

Question 565: On Jordan's Bank the Baptist Cry

Belated OScar Question, since i had no idea when it was due to that stupid pre WC coverage

__X__ is the story of Thiery Guetta, and his love. In the film, he hears about the urban legend __Y__ and tries to contact him. After many a failed attempt, he finally does and for the rest you need to watch __X__, and not spoil the surprise; partly coz i haven't seen __X__ or __Y__ either,lol.

__Y__'s manager had this to say about __X__:

"I think the joke is on... I don’t know who the joke is on, really. I don’t even know if there is a joke."

__Y___'s former spokesman

On __Y__ and the choices of __Y__, it can best be summed up in his own words:

"When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires."

– __Y___

Y

X

So:

1) Give me X

2) & Y

Brownie points for what it is Y does
