Stupidity: It seems unlikely any mental asylum would leave a child with a patient regardless of the patient being in a catatonic like state.

Revealing mistake: The robber who kills Billy's mother is shown cutting her throat but with the flat side of the blade. Moreover real blood doesn't ooze out so thickly, indicating it was makeup.

It (1990)

Continuity mistake: Pay attention during Bill and Audra's bike ride. She starts out wearing hot pink shoes yet when going down one street they've suddenly turned black or brown. A shot later they're back to hot pink.

Character mistake: Andy speaks of Billy changing in the two months after he was hired when he was hired in the spring months ago.

Wicked Stepmother (1989)

[Jenny throws a bucket of water on Priscilla.]
Priscilla: I'm melting! I'm melting! Ha, Ha. It didn't work, did it Dorothy? This is reality, not MGM.

Rob245

Answer: She wanted room for her own things. The apartment was cluttered with so many collectables that Leonard never looked at, that he never noticed when she put some in storage.

Brian Katcher

Well if they're a couple why not talk to him about it? After all couples are supposed to compromise on things, imagine if he'd done this to her.

Rob245

Not sitcom couples. Every reaction has to be exaggerated and borderline psychotic.

Sammo

It's a play on the "women always do what they want and the man goes along with it" type scenario. Plus, Penny is seriously hot and way out of Leonard's league so its entirely plausible she knows this and knows he wouldn't question her anyway, as he will always give in and give her what she wants.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Question: Why does Rosemary change her hairstyle in the movie and why did Terry die?

Rob245

Answer: Terry was murdered by the the Castevets (pushing her out the window). Terry became suspicious about Roman and Minnie and why they had taken her into their home. It may also be that once they met Rosemary and Guy, they found Rosemary to be a more suitable "mother." Regarding Rosemary's hair. When she became pregnant, she experienced severe and constant pain keeping her housebound. She finally decided not to give into it anymore and made an effort to go about her normal life, having lunch with Hutch, getting a new haircut, planning a party for her and Guy's old friends that they never saw anymore, and so on. It was only after she threatened Guy to go back to her original doctor that a spell was apparently put on her to stop the pain.

Terry may have actually committed suicide (with a little 'help') because she couldn't face the fact that she was to be used to procreate with Satan. This is indicated if you listen to Ruth Gordon's voice as the nun in Rosemary's "dream" when Rosemary was actually overhearing Minnie through the wall, chastising Roman with "If you had listened to me we wouldn't have to do this! We would have been all set to go instead of having to start from scratch! I told you not to tell her in advance. I told you she wouldn't be open-minded!"

Answer: I read this book as a kid and so did my mom. She said she cut her hair because she was tired of them clipping pieces for their spells. I don't remember that part in the book. I might have to read it again.

Answer: They may have found out that Terry was not healthy-or fertile-enough, is my guess.

Joker (2019)

Question: Why does Arthur kill his mother? Does he feel she lied to him about his father? Maybe his madness going further? Perhaps even he wanted to end her suffering?

Rob245

Answer: I'd probably rule out of the last reason you mentioned, on the first one you have to consider that the lie goes deeper than just the father's identity, if that is a lie at all. Through the information he saw on the medical record - and he kills her after seeing that record - it turns out that she had let him be abused and beaten up since a tender age, which would probably be the cause of his mental and physical issues. In his line before the murder, he mentions her full name, and how he has not been happy a minute of his whole life, so the terrible childhood, which maybe now came back to him, is a real factor. Mentioning the comedy, so a play, might also imply a sort of detachment now that he understands that it was all a lie from the beginning and she's not even his real mother (if that's what he believes).

Suggested correction: The movie blatantly shows Billy lifting her high enough above his head to impale her. It's literally right there in the scene. Additionally Linnea Quigley talks about the making of the scene in the documentary "In Search of Darkness Part II," and talks about the actor living her high above his head over and over while making the scene.

Suggested correction: How is someone being in the cast a piece of trivia? Unless it's something notable like one of an actor's earliest roles, or a final appearance, it's not really interesting enough to be considered trivia.
