The Uninvited (2009)

Question: Surely there's some violation of ethics of nurses when Rachel starts sleeping with her patient's husband while she's still alive, right? That, and how could she be considered nice, given what she did helping Anna's father cheat on his wife?

Rob245

Answer: It is a serious ethical violation for a nurse to have a sexual relationship with a patient's spouse. It could lead to the nurse's license being revoked. The "nice" part is more subjective, but sometimes good people, driven by their passions and desires, have lapses in judgment.

Spider-Man (2002)

Answer: You could make an argument that the Goblin didn't want to quickly kill Spider-Man, so he's toying with him by beating him, throwing the razor-bats at him, etc. Goblin is psychopathic and petty... he's absolutely go for the longer death after Spider-Man turned down his offer to team up. (But of course, the actual reason behind the scenes is that the vaporizing bomb was just meant to be a cool little one-off moment to show how much of a threat Goblin was. And it'd make the movie very boring if he kept using it, especially given how overpowered it was.)

Question: The following puzzles me: 1. Why don't the survivors try leaving on a boat and finding an island? 2. Why wouldn't the zombies just eat each other? 3. Why do they seem surprised when the zombies show up when they can smell their decaying smell? 4. Why do the zombies need to eat since they still walk around anyway? 5. Why can't the zombies climb ladders? 6. How can they feel hunger with their brains and nerve system gone?

Rob245

Answer: Some of these questions address general zombie lore (or at least, post-Romero zombie lore) and are thus usually accepted that they just "are" a certain way. 1. That's easier said than done if you don't know how to operate a boat, which the average person does not. They're also in the middle of America, nowhere near the sea. 2. There is not a single example of zombie fiction in which the zombies consume one another; they always feed on living humans. No reason other than it wouldn't be scary if they just ate one another. 3. Can you tell the exact source/direction/distance of every smell, even a powerful one? 4. In all media, zombies are driven by primordial hunger for living flesh, which almost never serves any physiological purpose. 5. Lack of physical coordination. It's also why they can't run, swim, dance, etc. 6. Again, it's just how they "are" in the fictional world they inhabit.

I want to add that "finding an island" is not guaranteed anyway. They could end up getting lost at sea and dying of starvation or dehydration. And if they do find an island, they don't know what they will be dealing with: natives who became zombies, natives who don't want them there, unfamiliar plants that might be poisonous, etc. It makes more sense to "start over" where they are.

They were in Georgia, which borders the Atlantic Ocean.

Clue (1985)

Plot hole: When Miss Scarlet tells the other guests, they can pay her in government information, she forgets Mrs White is the only to have no connection to the government and thus can't pay her that way, nor does she have any more money like the others.

Question: Given Connie's a psychologist and knows Norman's state of mind, why would she marry him and also trick him into getting her pregnant?

Rob245

Answer: Norman is mentally stable in this film. Connie and Norman fell in love during his institutionalization. After being deemed sane and released, they were married. Norman is afraid to have children because he doesn't want to pass on his psychosis. Connie believes that with proper care, their child won't end up like Norman, and plans to become pregnant.

Continuity mistake: Madeleine's dress sleeves are pulled back when she's first on campus with Grinshaw. Then, when she meets Danny, they're suddenly down at full length.

Question: Unless it needed final tuning, why doesn't Kingpin order Doc Ock to operate his collider that very day, as soon as possible?

Batman: Arkham City

Stupidity: Regardless of his schedule in the side mission "A Shot In The Dark," Deadshot could've killed Batman while he was talking to his first target.

Rob245

Other mistake: Doc Ock's weakness in Spider-Man 2 was electricity, which knocked him out. Yet Electro doesn't bother him as he's shooting off jolts prior to Ock curing him.

Spider-Man (1994)

Answer: I believe it was just a way to try and show the suit is "oily" or reflective. It also helps define the character's features since otherwise, he'd just be a flat black color. It's similar to how the black suit Spidey had blue outlines. (I don't know why they chose a pink/red color... maybe because red is associated with power/fire/war, so it's a more "evil" color?)

Question: Since Norman doesn't die, does this mean Harry won't die either? What would happen to Oscorp once he's exposed?
