Unanswered questions about specific movies, TV shows and more

Question: I don't get the elves at The North Pole and Noelle's family seeing her as "selfish" or "immature." Three examples of this: 1. The elves call her a "princess" and antagonize her for her brother's disappearance. 2. Polly tells her "Worrying about someone else's Christmas and not your own. Now that is very mature." like she was never mature and selfless her whole life. 3. Right after that quote, her mother sent her a hurtful letter saying that she "acted selfishly, foolishly, immaturely, disrespectfully, childishly", etc. But why? Throughout the whole movie, she had been nothing but kind, selfless, caring, and friendly.

Question: Could someone please tell me what time the day ended in the first scene? I see the pocket watch and it looks like possibly 9:15, but that can't be right?

Mr. Monk and the Election - S3-E15

Question: At the school debate, behind the two candidates there is a picture drawn. The picture looks to me like the Honeymooners apartment - is it?

Question: I'm rewatching "Rick and Morty" on Hulu. Season 1 and 2 the cursing was bleeped but in Season 3 nothing is censored (and it seems like there's a lot more F-words, at least in the first episode). Why the change? I don't remember if Season 3 on Adult Swim was censored or not, was it? Is there an uncensored version of "Rick and Morty" Season 1 and 2 or were the bleeps intentionally put in by the show's producers and not the network? I would think if an uncensored version existed that Hulu would air that version.

Question: Dr. Robotnik sent Sonic, Tails and Knuckles two hundred years into the future. Mephiles also sent Shadow and Rouge two hundred years into the future. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles met Shadow and Rouge coincidentally at the same time in Crisis City. Or was it planned by Dr. Robotnik or Mephiles?

Question: What happened to Chozen's friends, Toshio and Taro? After being defeated by Mr. Miyagi (in the scene where Chozen hits Mr. Miyagi with the spear) they no longer appear in the movie. Is this possible that they perished during the typhoon? If they didn't, then what happened to them?

Question: At the end of the movie, as the credits roll, and in the background, we see Brody and Hooper paddling their way to shore on those 2 yellow barrels. Would I be right to assume this is probably not actually Scheider and Dreyfuss, but instead, 2nd unit filming this with stand-ins for those two? Knowing Spielberg at that time, maybe he did use Scheider and Dreyfuss. If 2nd unit, anyone know who the stand-ins were?

Question: Why didn't Alan Reed call the Vice President? Why listen to Bob Alexander?

Question: In the TV version, after the segment "Boys Do Get Bruised", why did it show Walter lying in the coffin instead of Carl? Walter survived at the end of the segment so it made no sense for him to be in a coffin.

Question: Wouldn't the air-to-air refuelling plane have exploded once E.D.I shot off the couplet?

Question: What happened to the getaway driver after Jeff knocks him out? Where did his body go?

Question: When Iwan and Emma are living together, Iwan is cooking on the veranda. He called her "snootch" Emma responds "I thought we agreed about snootch?" What are they talking about? What is snootch?

Last Rites - S7-E21

Question: In this episode and in the SVU episode "Presumed Guilty" why were the detectives angry at Father Shea for not giving them any information? Clearly they know that as a priest anything that's said to him during confession is priest-penitent confidentiality so he's not allowed to say anything that someone confesses to him.

Question: What is the book on Stu Redman's bed when he is in the hospital?

Question: Larry and Anna meet because Dan pretended to be Anna and chatted with Larry online. How is the Internet chat shown in the original play version of this movie?

Question: What is the song playing at the beginning of the movie when the characters are talking online to each other?

Question: When Johnny and Lorna are in the castle, before they go into the small room where Johnny accidentally announces his plans over the PA, Lorna is seen with a back tattoo. It looks like perhaps it's a number, "05" maybe? Was there a deleted scene where we see the tattoo more or where characters talk about it? Or was this Natalie Imbruglia's actual back tattoo? Later it seems to be gone.

Question: When Lindsey finds out she earned the promotion, she's at a restaurant with Robin Molly, etc. on a social outing. But, they're having a work event down the hall in the same restaurant. (If fact, it looks more like her office than an eatery.) How/why do these two separate gatherings collide? Thanks. (01:25:09 - 01:25:40)

Question: The sequence where the family sees their dog's kennel/chain hanging from the T-Rex's mouth...was that also used in a children's book? My wife and her sister remember it as a story in the 80s, with artwork similar to "Not Now Bernard." My wife's never seen this film, resenting the absence of Sam Neill, but recognises she might have seen the clip and it's just her memory playing tricks on her. Curious if anyone knows of an old book/story with a similar visual.
