| Title | Question | |
|---|---|---|
| Pride & Prejudice | When Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle are viewing statues at Mr. Darcy's home, there is a statue of a woman with a veil on. How is that effect done with the marble? And what is it called? | Answer |
| The Prince of Egypt | Ralph Fiennes sang his character's song in the movie, despite not having that great a singing voice. Meanwhile Val Kilmer, who has a far superior voice, was replaced by Amick Byram as Moses' singing voice. Does anyone know why that is? | Answer |
| The Proposal | I was just wondering why, at the end of the movie, the name of the company changed from Colston to something like Ruiz and Hunt. I mean, Margaret's last name was "Tate" so her leaving shouldn't have caused a name change. (I apologize if the names are incorrect, I've only gotten to watch it once at a friend's house, so the movie isn't readily available for me to check). | Answer |
| Public Enemies | I must have missed something, but when Dillinger and his accomplice (can't remember his name) are escaping from the lodge, they both hitch a ride with Baby Face Nelson on the dirt road. Later Purvis and his men run Nelson's car off the road and kill him and another guy. Then we see Dillinger and his wounded accomplice with a car in town getting medical supplies. How's that possible? | Answer |
| The Punisher | Was Johnny Cash the inspiration for Harry Heck? The fact that he looks like him and sings and plays a guitar lead me to believe that he was. | Answer |
| Quantum of Solace | In the Bregenz Opera House scene, there is a moment in which one of Greene's bodyguards (I think his name is Elvis) looks at another one and smiles. My question is: What is the movie trying to imply with this? | Answer |
| Quills | Did the Marquis de Sade have deep feelings for Maddie? He looked horrified when he heard her screaming, and shouted her name and grieved for her. But did he love her, or just want to bed her? | Answer |
| Quills | In the dream scene, was Kate Winslet fully nude, or was her bottom half covered? | Answer |
| Red Dwarf | Beyond a Joke: How did Lister know that they were on a simulant spaceship just from seeing a blanket and two mugs? | Answer |
| The Ring | What is the meaning of each picture/clip on the tape? | Answer |
| Ringu 2 | Is there any significance to the fact that during Sadako's final appearance, her face resembles the clay recreation the doctor's made of her head? | Answer |
| The River | Why was this movie one of the first films to be rated PG-13? | Answer |
| Saints and Soldiers | We all assume, as I did when watching the movie, that the opening scene really was intended to be the Malmedy massacre. Could it have been that they were just hinting towards that, and that the opening scene (with the array of mixed Wehrmacht and SS, 101st Airborne and other which is historically not matching Malmedy) was simply another incident? Did the director ever intend to create a grossly false Malmedy scene? There were quite a lot more atrocities in that area and time, with executions of prisoners by both sides. | Answer |
| Scream | This confused me a little. At Stu's house, Randy answers the phone and hears about the principal's body being found hanging from a goal post on the football field. However, either Billy or Stu murdered the principal earlier in the day, so it seems that the other staff at school would have noticed that he was missing several hours ago. Billy and Stu are both at the party, so neither of them could have recently hung the body without someone finding it hours ago. Did one of the killers call and make up the story so that most of the kids would leave the house? | Answer |
| Scrubs | Across whole show: In general, the colour of scrubs indicates job. So what do the people in yellow scrubs do? | Answer |
| Sex and the City | twenty-something girls vs. thirty-something women: What songs (and musical group or singer) are played in the episode "Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women"? In particular, a song that is played in the background during one particular scene that took place in a cabin. Thanks for any help with this. | Answer |
| Sex and the City | i heart ny: As mentioned in the commentary; this scene was filmed in the real Museum of Modern Art, and the painting is the real Monet 'Water Lilies'. They had to use an enormous number of lights and equipment to film these scenes in the museum. But in reality, light is not usually allowed on or near precious canvases as they can't be exposed to it. People are not even allowed to use flashbulbs, because of the damaging effect that light has on rare paintings. So how did they manage to film using a real Monet, and all those camera lights? | Answer |
| The Shining | Who hurt Danny after his visit to room 237? | Answer |
| The Shining | Why is Grady referred to by two first names, Charles and Delbert? | Answer |
| Shutter | I wasn't quite sure in the movie, but what exactly did Ben take pictures of his friends doing to the girl? The pictures his wife later finds on the old camera? | Answer |
