You may want to specify Iceman from Top Gun and not from the X-Men movies.

Does 'jedi' count as a profession?
+2
Level 82
Nov 3, 2014
I think so, though you could argue it's a bit iffy to include jedi if wizard doesn't count for Dumbledore. Obi Wan was also a general.

Good question. If it does how do they earn money to live on? Never wondered about that before

@Ian1979 Lots of professions don't come with a salary. A jedi has his room and board paid for by the Jedi Council and/or the Republic, much like monks and clergy from many religions.

Can you please accept 'knight' for jedi?

@ Ian1979 I'm sure it's easy to pickpocket with the force.

It's a bit of a higher calling than - say - logistics management, but he answers to people, has responsibilities, engages in negotiations, travels for work, practices diplomacy, teaches moody underlings, interacts with new technologies, and doesn't get as much sleep as he'd probably like.

how would wizard be a job? having some kind of power/ability is not a job.

Seconding the Iceman thing, Top Gun isn't culturally relevent anymore, so the clue should either be more specific or accept answers to cover both.
+3
Level 45
Nov 7, 2014
Top Gun will ALWAYS be culturally relevant. First thing I thought of.

Someone just took the on-ramp toward the danger zone

Do the X-men even have jobs? I thought that they just mooched around the school all the time and left to fight Magneto every once in a while. Top Gun's Iceman, on the other hand, definitely had a job.

A lot of the younger X-Men (including Iceman, at least in the movies) are students. A lot of the older/more experienced ones are teachers at Xavier's school.

And, while superhero would certainly be acceptable for the X-man Bobby Drake/Iceman, he also attended college for accounting, and worked briefly as a CPA. Several of the X-men have had professions, including Beast as a biochemist/geneticist and Angel as a CEO.

I agree about Iceman, I immediately thought X-Men.

I tried another word for Vivian Ward, but it seems the quiz maker has a crush on Julia Roberts.

IsleAuHaulte, I think I tried the same word and it still wasn't accepted. Can't blame anyone for having a crush on Julia Roberts either way

I knew Seneca Crane but I dindn't know his exact title. I tried game operator, game warden, game controller, and several other similar titles. very frustrating.

Typed baseball pitcher for Crash Davis and it didn't take it. (Maybe he was a catcher.) But it should have autocompleted after baseball, you'd think.
+1
Level 75
Apr 29, 2019
He was, in fact, a catcher. Which should be acceptable
+1

I think that while detective should be accepted for Sherlock Holmes, the official answer displayed should be 'consulting detective' as if you read the original books and other versions he always describes himself as a consultant. The difference is he is not payed for his work which makes him a consultant not a detective. I know I am being picky but I am a perfectionist in such matters.

Drumroll. And the semantic pedant award goes to....

While yes, Crash Davis was a baseball player, he was specifically a Catcher. I'm not saying that should be updated as the answer, just an acceptable response.

He was both. Though they don't accept hockey player for Happy Gilmore.

Level 70
Jun 25, 2019
He was an aspiring hockey player but could never manage to make it anything more than a passion despite the toll it took on his relationships and finances. It's a cautionary tale about unbridled obsessions and the dangers of alligators bitin' your damn hand off.

Can you accept housekeeper for Mrs. Doubtfire? She is there to clean the house, not just watch the children

Didn't Bruce Banner have a different profession (handyman, janitor, cashier, etc.) in every episode?

Level 82

But this is about movies. In the movies he's been a scientist, doctor, gladiator, and Avenger. He also worked in a soda bottling plant in Brazil for a while.

Bit harsh on the Erin Brockovich clue - I tried activist, environmental activist, legal clerk, law clerk (all are on the wiki page). Perhaps accept a few more answers for that one?

I enjoyed the way International Man of Mystery was accepted for Austin Powers. Disappointed voice actor wasn't accepted for Mrs Doubtfire - Robin Williams plays Daniel Hillman who dresses up as Mrs Doubtfire, and he is a voice actor, also packer (you pack 'em, you ship 'em), but a man in drag minding his own kids while deceiving his ex-wife is not a nanny.
