Question: Why is there so much blue symbolism in Kate Winslet's house. I know her hair is blue, but are we to believe she changes the colour of everything in her house when she changes her hair colour (which is often, apparently)?

Intermission (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Colm Meaney and Colin Farrell have the shoot-out right at the end, the material filmed changes between then and when the director is viewing it at the end. First, Farrell shoots Meaney, then the camera goes to white and two more gun-shots go off. Then, when he is watching it later, Farrell pulls the gun from his pocket and the director shoots him straight away. Then when he rewinds it, it shows Colin Farrell pull his gun, the camera man look to the bonnett of the car where the gun is, then bring it up and shoot him.

The Simpsons (1989)
Deliberate mistake: When Bart is in the genius school, the teacher asks him if he knows what happens if he adds an acid to a base. He replies yes, adds them anyway and the lab explodes and a green goo comes out, turning Bart green. If you add an acid to a base, you just get salt and water.

Continuity mistake: Just as Hermes A is about to shoot the box into the sun, all the crew (A and B) shoot out into the airlock. However, Hermes B doesn't come out of the box and just appears in the pile. This is confirmed in the commentary.

The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Question: Why does Kaitlin have the horrible scar on her face after Evan saves the dog? She didn't have a scar before, even though she got hit quite hard.
Chosen answer: The time that Evan goes back and saves the dog, she gets hit in a different way and her cheek is split open - hence the scar. In the "original" timeline, she got hit in the head, not the cheek.
Are you making an educated guess? How could you possibly know that she got hit in a different way on her cheek if they don't show that in the movie?
They are not making an educated guess at all. In the original timeline, her brother struck her in the side of the head, she bled/was injured but no visible scar. In the altered "blackout" timeline when he goes back and tries to save everything/fix it, somehow it shows Kayleigh getting hit in a different spot. When her brother swung, it smacked her in the side of the face instead of the head, splitting her cheek wide open, leaving a visible injury/scar later on. It was most definitely shown to us.
Answer: They are not making an educated guess at all. In the original timeline, her brother struck her in the side of the head, she still bled and was injured but no visible scar. In the altered "blackout" timeline when he goes back and tries to save everything/fix it, somehow it shows Kayleigh getting hit in a different spot. When her brother swung, it smacked her in the side of the face instead of the head, splitting her cheek wide open, leaving a visible injury/scar later on. It was most definitely, 100% shown to the audience, when her brother struck her differently. Lol.
Answer: First of all you need to remember that this sequence started right after Evan makes that big scene by using some sharp object on those two criminal brothers in prison to get his journals back from them. Now later when Evan is able to save the dog, he wakes up in his bed and starts bleeding as a repercussion from storing all those years of memory of this new reality at once, but the flashes that are shown when he wakes up are actually the flashes about how the reality changed after he saved the dog and Kayleigh's brother dies instead. In one of those scene it is shown that the grown up mentally disturbed Kayleigh asks for a lift and those same two criminal brothers are shown in the car she gets inside. So we can assume that the line of business she is shown in later and those scars she has is actually due to her getting along with the wrong people.
You can actually see in the scene where he saved the dog, Kayleigh's cheek was split open.

Futurama (1999)
Easter egg: On the 4th season DVD, when it's on the episode selection on the 4th disk, scroll down to "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". Push left and it highlights an egg salad sandwich in the fridge, written in alienese. When translated, it says "This DVD includes a specially encoded Easter Egg which you are now meticulously translating from an alien language because you have no life and are a compulsive Nerdlinger(sic). How sad. Its especially sad if you don't speak English and you have to translate the alien language into English and then into your own tongue and you come upon a word like Nerdlinger, which really isn't a word at all, but still aptly describes someone who would actually translate such a word. Twice. And those of you who are reading this translation in a Futurama newsgroup aren't any better. We lurk on those newsgroups and we know what Nerdlingers you guys are, too. Of course you're also our biggest fans, which is sad in its own way. But, since you went to all this trouble to translate an Easter Egg, we do owe you something, so here's a secret about the show. The writers, producers, directors and most of the actors who worked on this show are all Nerdlingers, too."

Put Your Head on My Shoulder - S2-E10
Trivia: In this episode, when Fry and Amy are on Mercury, the only petrol station is called Hg's Gas. Hg is, of course, the elemental symbol for Mercury on the periodic table. (00:05:00)
Question: I read an interview with Peter Jackson that basically showed him this site and he commented on it. One of the mistakes was the notorious car question and Jackson said "We saw it but we didn't think anyone else could, so we left it in". However, a trivia just posted has stated that in the commentary, he denies knowledge. Did anyone else see that article and/or hear any other reports. I'd hate to think I was losing my mind....
Chosen answer: The article is at http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3540652/. You're not losing your mind.

Chosen answer: Psychologists believe blue is a 'peaceful' color, as opposed to agressive colors like red. Experiments seem to show that people are genuinely effected emotionally by use of colors. Blue would promote a clear, calm - dare I say spotless - mind. Note this is also used in Forrest Gump; almost everything Gump wears is blue, suggesting again his calm, uncluttered thoughts.
