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: What time of year does this movie take place?
Answer: During Abby, Marcella and Cody's summer break. You can tell because Cody says he wishes to have a real adventure this summer.
Question: Are the hot air balloons that the gang fly through on an airplane part of the Apple Day Festival?
Answer: No.
Question: Benton is holding Reece when his nephew is being examined by Cleo. His suit jacket is pulled over Reece's leg awkwardly like they are covering something. Any idea what?
Question: General Veers was a badass and did not screw up at all on the assault on Hoth. Why promote Piett to Admiral and not Veers?
Answer: General Veers was part of the Imperial Army, hence his command of the ground troops. Piett and Ozzel were members of the Imperial Navy, hence their command of the ships.
Question: There seems to be an error. When Alvez and J.J. call Reid about Billy's grandma's house, he says Garcia told them after the grandmother died the city said the house wasn't up to code and they don't think anyone is living there. However, the electricity is on in the house. Would the city allow a house not up to code to keep the electricity on? Plus, since Billy doesn't live there and the only resident died, wouldn't the power be shut off anyways, meaning Billy would have to get the power back on in his name (or at least someone living's name)? But if the power is on, why wouldn't Garcia be able to know this and confirm it's likely someone is living there from the power usage? Also, do cities do anything about houses not up to code to prevent people from living or squatting there?
8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter - S4-E8
Question: When everyone was about to vomit, Brian asked Peter to hold his ears but why?
Answer: So he doesn't get vomit on them. It's a joke on how people with long hair would have someone hold their hair.
Answer: It's just a humorous riff on women who are about to vomit asking their companions to hold their hair.
Question: Do we ever see the wraiths in their true forms?
Answer: Technically what you see is their true form after being corrupted by the rings and turned into wraiths. Before that they were simply men, you can see what is left of that when Frodo puts on the ring at Weather Top.
I thought those white ugly faces you see, when Frodo puts the ring on at weather top, were their true forms.
Yes, that's exactly right. The rings turned them into wraiths, meaning their spirits moved on to the shadow realm and their real bodies pretty much destroyed. All that's left of them under the cloaks is invisible (in the books) and only seen in the shadow realm, where Frodo enters when he puts on the ring. The danger is too that Frodo would pass into the shadow realm too if he puts on the ring too often, becoming like them.
Question: Why did Sidka sacrifice himself to kill the bear, instead of running and stabbing the bear with his spear? By doing so he only made Kenai try to get revenge on the bear.
Answer: The bear injures Sitka right before he sacrifices himself. We don't see the injury itself due to the film wanting to keep its G rating, but we do see the bear attack and most likely maul Sitka, heavily implying his injuries are fatal. This is why he's hunched over and breathing heavily when we next see him as the bear is moving towards Kenai and Denahi.
Answer: His ultimate goal was to protect his brothers from the bear. If he tries to attack her directly, there's a good chance she'll dodge the blow, strike back at him, and then go back to attacking the other two once he's too injured to defend them. Whereas the means for a glacial collapse were right nearby, and even if the fall didn't kill the bear, Sitka figured it would at least frighten her off.
Answer: It's all about the movie lesson that bears are not evil and you shouldn't kill them, and also he didn't know if he could kill the bear, but he was sure that if he sacrificed himself it would lure the bear away.
It's a stressful situation, you do what seems to be the easiest way in order to reach your goal, in this case keep the bear away from his brothers.
Answer: Sitka may not have wanted to harm the bear at all. He doesn't seem to be that kind of a person he sacrificed himself so that the bear could live.
Simpsons Spin-off Showcase - S8-E24
Question: Lisa refuses to appear in the variety comedy show. However, she does relatively "flashy" things in a few other episodes - i.e. participating in a beauty pageant. So I think it's odd that she disagrees with a comedy show. Is there a joke that I am missing?
Answer: Back in 1976, when "The Brady Bunch" cast reunited for "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" spinoff, Jan (Eve Plumb) declined to join the cast. She stated as her reason that she didn't want to be perpetually known as Jan Brady. She was replaced with actress Geri Reischl. The third segment of this Simpson's episode, titled, "The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour," was a parody of that show - with its questionably bad jokes and cheesy musical numbers. It also parodied the replacement of one of the children with an alternate cast member.
Question: Aiden says that Katie knew about and talked to him about her death. However, Katie didn't know she was going to die, because she thought the video was a prank. Katie seemed like quite a nervous person/conspiracist, so by her nonchalant conversations in the first scene, it's clear she wasn't fearing her death, so how did she and Aiden talk about her death if she didn't truly realise she was going to die until the 20 minutes or so before?
Answer: Maybe she is trying to hide the fear from her friend - she cared about her friend and she didn't want her to be afraid.
Answer: Katie was indeed afraid but was hiding it from Becca. Before Rachel goes to Moesko Island, she checks Katie's room for clues one last time. In there, she finds a scrapbook where Katie had drawn the visions that Samara was burning on her mind. The chair, the video camera, the exact dream Rachel had when Samara touched her arm about being in the psych ward. Everything seems to indicate that Katie went through the same things as Rachel and knew that at the very least something horrible was going to happen on the 7th day.
Question: If the tape was made when the teenagers tried recording a football game over the well (the main theory), then wouldn't that mean that the four teens are the first people to watch/die from it? If so, how does Becca know about the myth of this deadly tape virus and phone call before Katie dies?
Answer: The theory is wrong. The tape was already there.
Answer: It is strongly suggested that the four of them were the first ones to watch the tape. The well was directly beneath Cabin 12, so Samara's spirit took advantage of the blank tape they were using to record the game to burn images into it thus creating the curse. Becca said that somebody from Revere had told her about it, and the high school girls from the funeral told Rachel that Katie was dating somebody from Revere. Rumors fly especially among teenagers. Josh (Katie's boyfriend) told people from his High School about the creepy tape they had watched over the weekend and it quickly spread to the point that Becca and several other teens knew about it.
Question: I find the logic in this movie confusing! How can the mom be pregnant with Boss Baby while he's in Baby Corp? How did he get out of the taxi walking and dancing to the door without the parents noticing yet enter the house with him in their arms? Are babies Suzie, the triplets, and Jimbo also from Baby Corp since they talk and act like Boss Baby? If Suzie is from Baby Corp, would she lose her formula after being "accepted" into kindergarten with a picture of a smiley face? If the Boss Baby quits his job to be part of the Templeton family again, wouldn't he have ended up with some other family unintentionally? Finally, if the Boss Baby came back as a regular baby, why wasn't the mom pregnant?
Question: How did Helen's keys and Mallory's medal get stolen and hidden in the dumbwaiter behind a wall?
Answer: Because while they were sleeping the bowgart stole it.
How? They only arrived at the house for a few hours before the dumbwaiter discovery?
Question: Why was Ron Perlman not given any credit for voicing Redcap the goblin?
Question: Why were Rob Riggle, Dave Franco, and Queen Latifah uncredited for their supporting roles?
Answer: Cameos usually go uncredited.
Question: When was the affair over between Gwen and Owen?
Answer: Their affair began in series 1, episode 6 ("Countrycide") and ended in episode 11 ("Combat").
Question: What fabric was Spider-Man's suit made of?
