In Luis Bunuel's That Obscure Object of Desire, Conchita sings a song to Mathieu, which goes something like - "Is anyone listening? No; Can I ask you a question? Yes; Have you another lover? No; Do you love me? Yes" (I got this from the subtitles). I would like to know the name of the original so...

I've heard of people nitpicking at the Dark Knight Rises a lot (continuity errors mostly). But I think I found the clincher. Why doesn't Bane immediately blow up Gotham when he sees the bat symbol on fire on the Gotham bridge? So far, I haven't heard an answer that makes sense. Apparently, Bane w...

In the 1992 animated Aladdin movie, Aladdin's first wish is "make me a prince". This seems to entail: A new set of clothes Abu being turned into a monkey A parade that disappeared (I mean, there aren't really 95 white Persian monkeys still hanging around at the end of the film, right?) As thi...

In the TV show, Dirty John on Netflix, Debra finds a letter addressed to John Meehan and in it, there are a whole list of criminal records under John Meehan's name. Given John Meehan's con artist nature, how can he allow this revealing letter to be sent to his and Debra's house? Who sends thi...

It is based off of the book of the same name but it seems like the grandmother is less rude than in the book. Usually, if you want to express anger or yelling in a book you use exclamation marks but I did not see many of those. It just seems like to me she's more rude to the kids and yelled mo...

tl;dr - How does the bullet get into the gun? How does it fire backwards? The opening sequence to Elementary is a brilliant metaphor using a Rube Goldberg type apparatus to illustrate the methodical (and often convoluted) steps Sherlock takes to ultimately catch the perpetrator. The whole contr...

In Season 4 Episode 5 of "The Magicians" titled "Escape from the Happy Place" it is seen that Eliot has to go through his greatest fear and sad memories to unlock the door. What exactly was his fear or memory? He meets Quentin and says that he gives him the strength to face his greatest fear. Wha...

There are currently three questions tagged with "Homecoming": https://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/homecoming . Two of those are about the 2018 TV series, and one of them is about a movie (and I'm not even sure which particular movie the poster is talking about). The question about ...

Something that has always struck me when watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind, was this apparent reference in John Williams' main theme (starting at 4:28) to Leigh Harline and Ned Washington's When You Wish upon a Star as used in Walt Disney's Pinocchio. Does anyone know if this is indeed...

In the movie Monsters, Inc. where the monsters are powered by energy from the screams of human children since in Monstropolis there were no human life. My question is that whether the monsters use time-travel doors to go into the past and reach human life?

In the intro/theme song for the 1965 TV show Lost in Space the actor who played Dr. Zachary Smith Jonathan Harris is listed as a special guest star. How could this be if we look at the meaning of a guess star In show business, a guest appearance is the participation of an outsider performer ...

which is the longest actor-director partnership? I'm talking about movies where a given director works with the same actor/actress in a leading role. Johnny Depp & Tim Burton is one of the first ones that came to my mind. Another one could be Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese

This question is mainly about pre-2000 TV series created for CRT TVs, but a lot of it still applies for HD-TV content. So TVs have been 60HZ(NTSC) ever since their inception and an old video camera would shoot 60fps to match the refresh rate. However due to the low visual quality of video, most ...

Throughout many movies easter-eggs exist which are little things hidden by the producers to reward anyone that looks hard enough. One example of this is: This is there probably because Harrison Ford is in both Indiana Jones and Star wars. I'm wondering ig it's ever been recorded that a Commerc...

In the first race in Cars (2006) the racing commentators talk about the Piston Cup's three leading contestants. Meanwhile we're being shown a presumably in-universe camera view which contains a score overlay: For some reason, Chick's overlay is pointing slight...

I'm not sure whether this question fits here or not. I was watching the movie 'Talaash: The Answer Lies Within', 2002 movie directed by Reema Kagti. In the movie, many police officers addressed a case as "A-final case". From what I understood I think they either meant a case which never got solv...
