Now,
as I said in the thread attached to these puzzles, feel free to call me on any
clues you feel are unfair. If they’re
hard or devious, TOUGH! That’s the way
my brain works. But if they’re unfair,
let me know.
PUZZLE
#2:
The
same type, only this time there are some extraneous letters in the answers to
the clues. Yep, there are letters in the
answers that don’t go into the film quote (these are designated by an
asterisk). BUT WAIT! Before you call “FOUL”, these extraneous
letters can be unscrambled to spell the name of the quoted film’s director.
For
this puzzle post the director’s last name in THIS THREAD
