These are questions relating to specific titles. General questions for movies and TV shows are here. Members get e-mailed when any of their questions are answered.

Question: Would that guy die by the balcony collapsing at an angle like it did? That guy was in the corner, and there was enough space for Jake to crawl under a second or two later.

Question: Could Constantine have confessed his sin of suicide and repented, thereby removing that issue for him?

Question: In Venom, Dora Skirth explains to Carlton Drake that a host can only survive symbiosis if they're a match for the symbiote. If they're not, they die. How is it in this movie and "Venom: The Last Dance" that every person or animal that Venom inhabits is able to survive? They can't all be a match.

Question: Did Mini really sleep with the game show contestant or not? He acts like she is making it up, but if she is, then why does she want Martin to watch the show and believe it?

Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau - S5-E27

Question: About 5 minutes into this episode, Andy is sitting on the couch with a newspaper in his hand. It's folded and at the top banner of the paper, you can see "Airy." If the newspaper was fully in view, could the full banner reveal "Mt. Airy," as in Andy's real hometown of Mt. Airy, NC?

.380 - S2-E11

Question: Why does the hospital administrator grill Claire about "unethically" bringing the 5 blood-drained patients into the hospital? Isn't it literally the job of healthcare workers to administer care to people in dire need of it? They later mention she didn't check in the patients, but that sounds more like a procedural issue and not an ethical one.

Question: How did Art the Clown, who is after the costume designer, show up on the roadside with the sign "Circus" when he is a little mile away from the gas station? Did he run really that fast?

Trainman

Question: What's the significance of Linda meeting with Charity in Warfield as revealed by Irene's photos? It's never explained why they were there, of all places, since Emily meets them separately and in two different moments in Capri.

Sammo

Question: At the beginning of the movie, you see the police talking to Kersey in the hospital scene. But yet he knows exactly what had been stolen from his home. How did he have this information if he had just found out at the hospital that this had even taken place?

Question: The payment sequence in the title montage shows several wire transfers of at least $75,000 for each "closure," but one of the last payments shown was ¥75,000,000, which is worth a little over $500,000. Why did she get such a huge pay bump in Japanese currency even though the sending bank account was Chinese and her bank is in London? (00:11:07)

Question: I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not, so I'll ask it here. In one scene, Bridget zip lines down to Arnold, Gerald, and Helga on the crashed bus. She uses a device attached to her sleeve to hook a zip line onto the bus, but when she goes down the zip line, it extends past the screen behind her. What did she do there? Did she attach the device to the sky, or something? (01:07:10)

Question: Why is Jimeno so out of breath and tired-looking when near the cart at the beginning?

Question: Whatever happened to Alana Mitsopolis? We see her stumble out of her cabin and alert Kittridge and the others that they have been dealing with a fake Alana (actually Grace), but she's never seen again after that. Did she just vanish?

Question: Could the reflection of Eamon, dressed as a mummy, appearing in the room actually be accomplished with a mirror?

Question: Is time really taken from a racer who eats before his dogs do? If so, how does this affect the racer's time?

Question: As we go through the movie, it's said she comes alive every year on the anniversary of her death. How come nobody has ever seen her in the house on that day, or am I missing something?

illusions

Question: Am I crazy? I remember a missing scene on the train where Danny explains that he hoped they were going to Vermont, so he bought the long underwear. It isn't there in any of the DVD versions I've seen, so Bing says, "Vermont must be beautiful, all that underwear," and it sounds weird. But I have never been able to find that scene! Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Question: When they are getting ready to shave Rambo, when he's in jail, he has a flashback. In the flashback, what does the Vietnamese soldier say to him before cutting his chest?

Show generally

Question: What was the episode where everyone but, I believe, Christine was shocked to learn that a prosecutor wasn't really a lawyer? He only pretended to be one. While the others were shocked, Christine looked happy.
