The ghouls are back.......

Ok, so it's been a long time since I exercised my freedom to contribute here. Neither have I read any of the questions already posted since a long time, but I now present to you a question so gruelling that google will be of little help, I look forward to the answer.

'X' is a film maker with a cult following known for his inability to make technically sound movies. Hailing from a broken home, X was always a fan of the cinema. X mainly produced horror, sci-fi genre movies. He was known for his friendship with Y . X cast Y in all of his films until deAth of Y. Y is known for his representation as a famous Childhood villain of lore. In his later days, washed up and with no job he basked in the opportunities given to him by X.

The first mainstream film by X was inspired by the issue of sexual identity Raving the news at that time.

In his later years After death of Y, X having lost his credibility, reduced to mainly writing smut, horror novels and involved himself in pornographic production.

About 30 years or So after his death , G made a biopic in his honour stAring, A as X and B as Y. The movie received critical acclaim but was not a box office success and later was to become a cult classic.

Following the biopic, G having been impressed by A's caliber went to make a series of black comedy movies with A. Z is the latest movie venture of G and A and was critically acclaimed and a box office success

Now, identify, X, Y, A and B
Cherry points for figuring out G and Z
And trust me when I say, the title helps......

Again, the question has been carefully worded so as to deceive google, so I am guessing it won't be of much help here. And if you are able to answer this without googles aid, pat yourself on the back cause you are really smart.

Me Angry!

Should be easy, it was in the news recently.

Paparazzi.

Superbowl XXXVIII, The New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers 32-29. History was made, that day, February 1, 2004. Not of something that happened in the game, but during half-time during a Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake duet of Timberlake's song "Rock Your Body", a phrase "X" was bestowed upon pop culture that day after their performance. Urban Dictionary describes this moment as "an accidental or supposedly accidental failure of clothing to cover parts of the body intended to be covered". That moment became the most rewatched moment on TiVo history. X???

Identify

Picture from a "sports league" in the USA. what sport...oh wait "sport"?

musicians 'n theories!

X and his friend started a band- Y. the name of the band is very queer.. the origin goes something like this.. X and his friend were discussing about starting this band, in a pub, when they suddenly realized that they were the only two people in the pub who were wearing white shoes! since they were discussing about the band, they decided to name the band based on this.
ID X, and if possible, Y.
hints all over the place..

Don't weave them!

PS: The second picture is abstract. If you get the concept, it's easy to crack.

NOT a connect.

Ok, who/what is missing?

I know it says "NOT a connect" but connecting them will get you to the missing person/thing.

I'm So [X], Even My Acronym

'X' is a prefix that in most information technology usages means "an underlying definition or description." 'X' derives from Greek, meaning "among, with, after, change." Whereas in some English words the prefix indicates "change", in others, including those related to data and information, the prefix carries the meaning of "more comprehensive or fundamental."

Picture 4

Picture 1: Let's call him 'Y'. He popularized 'X' through one of his works, i.e Picture 4.

Picture 2: Kind of helps to guess 'Y'.

Picture 3: ID the blurred part, you get the answer right away.

Oh yeah, the title of this question helps a lot.

ID 'X' and 'Y'.

rules remain the same as mentioned at the top
So i was watching this documentary the other day about street style soccer. Its basically a sport which is entirely dedicated to the tricks you can do with the football not necessarily with your feet, while being able to add your own pinch of glamour to it. As the documentary went on, the presenter spoke of break dancing and a certain art form influencing and being a major reason for the rise of this sport.
We have all heard of karate, kung fu blah blah but i never had heard of this one until then.
Its a Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, sports, and music. It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power kicks and quick leg sweeps, with some ground and aerial acrobatics, knee strikes, take-downs, elbow strikes, punches and headbutts.
The name apparently comes from a language called Tupi, referring to the areas of low vegetation in the Brazilian interior.
Whats this art form called? ( coudn't upload a pic, sorry)
