THE GAMER NEXT DOOR

Question: I recently saw this movie for the first time in decades, but didn't see something I know I saw when watching this on TV in the 80s. Back then I periodically saw a few seconds of a sunset over the ocean (or similar to that) with mellow music playing now and then between certain scenes. Now I can't find this in the movie anymore. Does anyone else remember this or are those sunsets from another movie (same timeframe - late 70s)?

Question: After reading the book there's still two things I don't understand. 1. Why were so many students afraid of the Vigils? They weren't intimidating at all. The only thing they did was have students do childish pranks. 2. If they were such pranksters, why didn't they do the pranks themselves instead of having other students do them?

Home - S1-E12

Question: When Frank and Micro are talking not too long after the start, you can see what looks like a baseball roll out between some rocks behind them. Anyone know what that is?

Question: During the meeting, what made Carl Fox realise that Gordon Gecko was dishonest about his intentions?
