"To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.."
_{(Elbert Hubbard)}

I studied Physics at the University of Vienna, but I'm interested in all natural sciences.

Since I don't believe in life after death I try to explore and learn as much as I can about this world.

Feb 22	comment	What happens to actor salaries around seasons 6-7 of a show? Well, since there are shows that have 8 or more seasons under their belt increasing salaries don't necessarily have to kill a show. But there is some truth to it, see e.g. this interview with Bruce Campbell, where he talks about Burn Notice: `... seven’s a good number. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with seven. It gets too expensive after that, everybody wants big money....`
Feb 22	comment	What happens to actor salaries around seasons 6-7 of a show? A famous examples is Friends: $22,500 per episode in the first season VS $1 million in the last two seasons. - I'm not sure why you doubt salary increases, there is tons of news about TV actors getting a pay raise. E.g. I still remember the news about the voice actors of The Simpsons going on strike.
Feb 22	comment	Sherlock: Who is John Talking About? @PaulStock - Does every American know who e.g. JLo or LiLo are? I guess it depends on how familiar one is with tabloids.
Feb 20	comment	How could Carl run or jump when he is using apparatus for his walking? Early on the story actually did have a Fountain of Youth subplot, but it got dropped (the prehistoric bird's egg was supposed to be a youth potion)
Feb 20	comment	Sherlock: Who is John Talking About? P.S.: Nasty Nick is Nick Bateman
Feb 18	comment	Why do they sometimes not use a real operating system in films? After looking into it a bit more I agree with the points (1) and (3), and to a certain degree (2). Points (4) and (5) are basically the same, and I'm not sure that's really a problem. Point (6) is just an example of point (1).
Feb 18	comment	Why doesn't John Spartan know how to use the 3 shells? @jampez77 - Yes, I have thought about it making sense that prisoners get an "update" right before they are released. But from what I remember that hasn't be mentioned in the movie. But creating individual updates would be a pain in the ass: When was he frozen? What was the world like then? What changed since then? - Just imagine someone from 1980 waking up today. It's virtually impossible to name every detail that has changed since then.
Feb 18	comment	Why do they sometimes not use a real operating system in films? Apple won’t pay to have their products featured, but they are more than willing to hand out an endless amount of computers, iPads, and iPhones
Feb 18	comment	Why doesn't John Spartan know how to use the 3 shells? @jampez77 - It's a rehabilitation program. Sure, with that "technology" you could teach them all kind of things, but it's a prison, not a school. A prison probably wouldn't bother much with keeping track of its inmates knowledge to update it whenever something changes.
Feb 15	comment	Have Finch's back problems been explained? P.S.: Finch jogging on a treadmill was a flashback from 2002.
Feb 14	comment	Sci-Fi movie where character determines date, time & location from looking at the night sky @ChristianRau - The Terminator only determined the time, not his location. But I now made it an answer anyway. Maybe the OP can clarify by adding more details.
Feb 14	comment	Sci-Fi movie where character determines date, time & location from looking at the night sky The Sarah Connor Chronicles had an episode where a Terminator did that to determine the time he was in.
Feb 7	comment	Who wrote Phoebe's songs? @DForck42 - I guess I overlooked the edit when I wrote that comment, because originally the question said: `Please include a list of her songs and the person(s) who wrote each.` - One of the problems of a list question is that there is not one correct answer. In the worst case this question could have led to multiple different (partial) answers, each containing correct information.
Feb 6	comment	Alternate conclusions of The Usual Suspects Quoting Kevin Spacey: Bryan Singer, who directed that film, had managed to convince every one of the major actors in that movie that they were in fact Keyser Söze. I remember when we screened it for the company of actors, Gabriel Byrne was stunned that he wasn’t Keyser Söze. Went out into the parking lot and had an argument with Bryan Singer. For a half an hour.
Feb 6	comment	Use Force Lightning can Yoda? From what I understand the Expanded Universe is considered canon, unless it directly contradicts the movies. In this case it actually seems to provide an explanation for why Jedis usually don't use Force Lightning: `...its use was viewed as inherently corrupting, and most Jedi Councils forbade its use.`
Jan 30	comment	How slasher scenes get shot? This question seems a bit broad. Unless an answer includes all techniques for every slasher method (e.g. stabbing, decapitating, disembowelment,...) this will possibly lead to mutliple partial answers which can each be correct.
Jan 30	comment	Why did the Observers choose the year 2015? @DForck42 - That's the obvious out-of-universe answer ;)
Jan 30	comment	Do they really drink or eat when shooting movies? @AnkitSharma - I think the problem is that you only use Blockquote for the first part of your answer. This gives the impression that only that part was copied from TV-Tropes, even though your 'Examples' are also copied.
Jan 30	comment	Why did the Observers choose the year 2015? This still begs the question: Why is 2015 the most suitable time? Taking over e.g. a 'bow and arrow' society must surely be easier than one who is tech-savvy enough to construct weapons that can kill them.
Jan 29	comment	Why was Bruce Campbell in all three Spider-Man movies? @AnkitSharma - I don't think Bruce Campbell's cameos in the trilogy had much to do with a possible larger role in Spider-Man 4. Bruce has appeared in Sam Raimi movies since the 70's, and he will also cameo in Raimi's upcoming Oz The Great and Powerful.
