Title Question  
The Ring What exactly did Samara do so wrong in the first place that they had to put her in the barn? I know she made the horses die later because she was annoyed with them, but that really isn't a reason to kill a child. They just say that she wasn't right, but what wasn't right about her? Answer
The Ring What is Samara doing to her parents that they are so scared of her, they make her live in the barn? I understand that once she is there and the horses annoy her that she makes them die, but that isn't a reason to kill your child. What type of torture were they enduring that made them go to such extreme measures? Answer

The Simpsons Across whole show: In the later seasons, why is Moe trying to kill himself (mainly the Christmas episodes)? Answer
Source Code In the end, what happens to Sean Fentress' consciousness? As the picture shows, after the train ride it's Captain Colter Stevens who's "inhabiting" his body. Does Fentress simply cease to exist when the Source Code causes reality to "bug" by allowing Capt Stevens to prevent the bombing? (I'm not even questioning how does it do that - that's left to suspension of disbelief, of course. I just want to know what's supposed to happen to Fentress' original, not-like-Stevens mind.) Answer
The Spy Who Loved Me How does the Liparus explode and sink at the end? After the nuclear subs have been destroyed, the ship just starts blowing up for no apparent reason. Was there any explanation for it? Answer
The Stand At the beginning of the movie, right before the base alarm sounds, what is the theme that is playing and by whom? Answer
The Suite Life on Deck Across whole show: Re "The Suite Life Movie", I have two questions. One: Zack is flirting with a girl named Nelly throughout the whole movie, but he has a girlfriend, Maya. Is he cheating? Two: (SPOILER ALERT!) Near the end, when Zack and Cody are free from becoming merged, they return to their normal life, but they still have stages 1, 2, and half of stage 3 still in them. Does this wear off, or are they still like that? Answer

Ten Commandments When a woman (can't remember her name) asks Joshua where the physician's/mid wives caravan will go, he says "five thousand cubits over there," or something like that. Why did he want the medical personnel so far away from the general population? I understand that sick people might have to be quarantined, but even so, 5,000 cubits is close to being a mile away if I remember my high school math correctly. Answer
The Thing (2011) I just finished watching the movie, and overall I would give it 4 stars out of 5. The movie did a pretty good job of answering questions for me that I had watching The Thing 1982. One question that keeps ringing in my mind, though, after watching The Thing 2011 is, "What happened to Kate?" My first thought was that she could have become infected by the Thing and become a Thing. But if that was the case she wouldn't have killed the man that was with her in the spaceship, because Things don't kill Things. Second thing I thought was that she could have frozen to death out by the spacecraft. But if she did, why didn't Kurt Russel's crew find her when they were by the spacecraft? Answer

Thirteen Why did Tracy scream at the end of the movie? Answer
