How could Irene Adler text Sherlock without her mobile? She could have kept the same phone number, though considering her desire to start anew and escape everyone from her past that could be a danger to her, it would seem particularly imprudent. Sherlock after unlocking the phone: "If you’re feeling kind, lock her up; otherwise let her go. I doubt she’ll survive long without her protection." I sure hope she wouldn't reclaim her phone number... |

In Oblivion how does Julia get pregnant? I'm a firm believer that parents should be the ones explaining how babies are made. |

How did Sherlock survive the fall? Is it likely that jumping into a truck and rolling out a dead body would escape the notice of the sniper(s), though? |

How did Sherlock survive the fall? I'm not sure that would be a particular question with any explanation, though.... We take it as a given that he foresaw that he had to fake his death--you and I don't yet know, but we know that Sherlock did (otherwise his talking to Molly and the throwing the agent off the roof had no purpose). We certainly couldn't have known that he would HAVE to jump from the building, but seeing as it would be the only controllable way to fake it and get distance from Moriarty (for whom he couldn't have foreseen suicide), I speculate he would've requested to jump anyway. |

Are they breathing air in Matrix? I greatly appreciate that image--that might belong in your answer, as I found it to be very purposefully supportive of how you described the absence of air. Perhaps "this isn't air" might even bridge the gap of ambiguity, in my mind. |

Are they breathing air in Matrix? I'd rephrase that slightly. I wouldn't agree that Morpheus means "there is no air", unless he qualified it with something that differentiates it from the air he was breathing before he entered the simulation. When thinking about video games, for example, I wouldn't say to a cinematic sequence where a character is breathing heavily: 'this character isn't breathing air'--the character IS breathing air... he simply is a simulated character with simulated need for simulated air, much like Neo is breathing simulated air in the simulator. |

Who hired Malcolm Crowe? The biggest issue I see here is that, despite this "subconscious draw", Malcolm had no justification (even if we take for granted he fell into the roles and rites of his job) for entering the house, sitting down, and then addressing Cole. In other words, having had no communication with Cole's mother, he is little more than a trespasser who is--without parental permission--spending time with Cole. |

Why did Holmes aim at the explosive rather than at Moriarty? That highly presumes that the gunshot...a single gunshot would detonate a bomb. And while the explosion would provide a saving distraction...the explosion actually occurring is what I question. Some material for my skepticism: slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2005/12/… |

Why did Holmes aim at the explosive rather than at Moriarty? I certainly considered this idea as my own explanation for Sherlock's behavior but I question that reasoning. While shooting Moriarty, as you say, will mean his and Watson's death...shooting the bomb is an uncertain way to get it to detonate, and such a choice could lead to the snipers taking out Sherlock and Watson anyway (the gunshot wouldn't prohibit the snipers in any way) and the bullet may hit (or miss) the explosives in vain. Seems too chancy to me. |

Why does Weyland have to hide that he was on the ship? There must be a middle ground between full disclosure and full secrecy, though. What is suspicious about "I--too--believe that the engineers exist, and I want to be there when humanities biggest discovery occurs." |

K-Pax ending explanation Despite our biases to side with the Protagonist and see the kid acquitted, here's an interesting read that presents a compelling argument that Henry Fonda kinda let a killer go free: avclub.com/articles/did-12-angry-men-get-it-wrong,83245 |

How did Sherlock survive the fall? @SenthilKumar is your question about the cited quotes? If so, I took this directly from these Sherlock transcripts arianedevere.livejournal.com/26848.html. Your recollection does sound familiar, however, so I wonder why this transcript differs--luckily, it corroborates the same point. :) |

What's with the trend of releasing movies outside the US first? deskofbrian.com/2012/04/… is an example of a big movie seen outside the US first, though I'm struggling to connect this with your piracy theory. |

Are there any differences between the new and old Titanic version besides 3D? @atticae I enjoyed the ironic line: 'now it hit Titanic' |
