Question: Ivy says some people have a colour. Do you think Noah had a colour and she knew it was him in the woods? If so, did she intentionally let him die knowing he may have killed the man she loves?
Answered questions about specific movies, TV shows and more
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.
Answer: From what I recall, there's nothing in the movie to indicate that this is the case.
Question: How much time has passed between the events of the first film and this film? Since pretty much half of the White House was destroyed in the first film, wouldn't it have taken some time to rebuild that section of the White House?
Answer: About a year has passed.
Question: What ever happened to Maxi Dean and his wife after Beetlejuice hammered them up into the ceiling?
Answer: It's never explained. It's entirely possible they were both killed considering they were launched through the ceiling, since that would have likely caused catastrophic head injuries. But it's also possible that given the cartoonish nature of the film, they were just ejected out of the house. It's up for the viewer to decide. (I personally am leaning towards them being dead given how violent Beetlejuice is.)
I also wonder if they died, because they could go back to New York and tell others about their experience at the house. They are wealthy and probably have a good-sized social circle, so they could attract some attention to the town. Depending on what exactly Beetlejuice is planning (after he marries Lydia), he may not want that yet.
Question: Why did David get back in the shower with Mr Bean after hanging up the phone?
Answer: In the context of the movie, the "damage" has already been done, so-to-speak... he's already in the shower with Bean. And since he's also in a big rush to get to the museum, he decides to just keep showering. (In a meta, behind-the-scenes sense, it's also just funnier for him to stay in the shower rather than get out and wait for Bean.)
School Days - S2-E14
Question: Who are the two baseball players that walk up to the nurses' station to talk about their teammate and discuss his relationship status with his girlfriend to Dixie?
Answer: I was rewatching a few first season episodes of Charlie's Angels (1976), and in S1xE6 "The Killing Kind," I recognized the same actor. So, to finally fully answer your question, the two baseball players in School Days are played by Rod Perry and Sean Fallon Walsh.
Answer: I took a screenshot of the two actors, with Rod Perry on the right (https://imgur.com/GCW1myD). Hopefully someone will know the name of the actor on the left. Both actors are uncredited in the episode's credits.
Answer: The guy on the right is actor, Rod Perry. Two years later he played Deacon in the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
Question: Why didn't Corey Feldman reprise the role of Donatello for this movie?
Answer: Because he was in rehab at the time.
Question: Is Tombstone a zombie or undead?
Answer: He's neither. In the comics he was an albino who later was mutated to give his superhuman strength. He filed his teeth into points as a way to scare others. In this Spider-Man cartoon, his physical appearance, including his teeth, and strength was the result of falling into chemicals at the plant. However, he never died as a result of falling into the chemicals, some only thought he had died.
Question: When the group first arrives at the commune and are shown their quarters, Dani is looking at photos of previous May Queens on a wall. According to the script, the festival takes place every 90 years. Photography was invented in the mid-1800s. How could they possibly have so many photos?
Answer: The once every 90-year festival is a special festival that also includes a May Queen. But they still have other regular festivals. We're told that every mid-summer, they have a dance competition where the winner is crowned the May Queen.
Question: In The Omen, it is stated that Damien's father is Satan and his mother was a jackal. However, in this film, it is shown that his mother is Maragaret Daino and she was impregnated by some demon-jackal hybrid. Am I missing something, or is this an inconsistency?
Answer: You're not missing anything. The original film was almost 50 years ago. The modern-day filmmakers just changed plot details to suit the prequel story and create the character and backstory of Damien's birth mother. This is not unusual for a film franchise or relaunch. It's different directors, writers, and producers who have a different vision or change things to fit a different time.
Question: How would the stranger have known that Jill was going to babysit that night. Did he follow her out there? Or was he just hanging around the area of the house waiting to see if the parents ever went out for a night and left a babysitter with the kids?
Answer: The stranger could not have followed Jill to the house because when Jill gets there, he is already at the house. The front door was open. As to the second part of your question: dumb luck. The stranger was hanging out at the guest house just waiting for the parents to leave.
I think he might have been stalking Jill. He could have been following her around her home and school. He targets teenage girls and might have been looking for the right moment to strike. For all we know, he broke into her house when no-one was there and could have found the address and maybe a note reminding Jill that she had to babysit, and then he just would get out there ahead of time to wait for her.
Question: How does anyone know Billy's story? He doesn't seem like he'd tell anyone.
Answer: I always thought that the cops put two and two together and then this became the stuff of legend.
Question: Just out of curiosity and I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but was Freddy possessing Dylan, or was Dylan just going "crazy" from lack of sleep? Or was Freddy somehow using Dylan to get into the real world outside of Heather/Nancy?
Answer: The way I understand it is: Freddy is dead. He was possessing no-one. From what I've read, there was some form of evil entity using Freddy as a figurehead to get into our realm. So if anyone was possessing anyone at all, it was the evil entity.
Question: What happened to the terrorists in the garbage trucks after the attack moved inside the White House? We just see their trucks there when the response team arrives. I figured they would be told to engage the response team in a sort of last stand to cause as much chaos as possible.
Answer: One of the garbage man terrorists was killed; the others were fully prepared to die for the cause. After all, they had accomplished their objective. They were no longer needed.
Question: If the terrorists in the AC-130 gunship were to directly attack the White House, then what was the purpose of them shooting and killing civilians before doing so? Was it simply because Kang's group was maniacally there to kill people and they didn't care who?
Answer: Whilst this is never explicitly explained in the film, I do believe that it was exactly that: kill as many people, civilian or authorities, as possible before achieving their final goal.
An Eagle Feather, a String Bean, and an Eskimo - S1-E10
Question: This is a very minor issue, so I don't want to post it as a mistake; still, it bothers me. The episode titles include something from the episode. Where's an Eskimo in this episode?
Answer: The folk song "The Mighty Quinn" was written by Bob Dylan. He originally titled it "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)." In the voice-over, adult Sheldon says shame on whoever wrote the line "you'll not see nothin'", because it's a double negative.
Question: In the episode "Off The Record", Lucifer tells Reese that in Hell the doors are always opened and that people can leave any time. If that's true, then when Lee tries to leave Hell here, why does he find himself still there?
Answer: The reason Lee can't leave Hell, like anyone who becomes aware they're in Hell, is because his own guilt is holding him back. Everyone in Hell is self-exiled, and they feel so much guilt deep in their souls that subconsciously they believe that they deserve to be in Hell.
Question: How could the murderers possibly have known which swimwear Arlena would be wearing and have exactly the same costume?
Answer: They didn't. They dragged her into a small enclave and stripped off her bathing suit. The wife put it on and pretended to be Arlena sunning herself.
Question: At the end of the film, Joan Crawford/Blanche lies on the beach, brutalized and starved by Bette Davis/Jane. Does Blanche then die, or will Blanche continue to live? For that matter, Jane is still alive, (although probably insane), so what will happen to Jane?
Answer: Blanche's fate is left ambiguous, so it's impossible to say if she survived or not. It is not revealed in the original novel. Jane would most likely be institutionalized, seeing as she is suffering a complete break from reality at the end of the film.
Question: How is Libby able to be out in the prison yard without wearing her prison uniform shirt and instead wearing a dark green tank top? This allowed in prison or what?
Answer: At that point she has been imprisoned for a few years. She had likely set up a good rapport with the guards over the years. She was likely on her best behavior, knowing that would be considered when her parole hearing came. Prisoners on good behavior are often afforded certain instances where some rules can be bended, which would be up to the discretion of the guards. Exercising was a routine for her that went on for years. If she wanted to run in a tank top, I'm sure that was of very little concern to the guards after a while.

Answer: Don't disagree with the other answer, but Ivy could have sensed it was Noah. While Ivy claimed to "see" someone's color, more likely she recognized people by their individual sounds, smells, movements, etc. which she interpreted as their "color." She knew Noah attacked Lucius and, in his unstable state, might kill her. She knew the "monsters" were fake and no-one else had a motive to harm her. I don't think she intended to let Noah die. She was protecting herself and could do little to save him once he fell into the pit.
