comment Why they don't show subtitles for Spanish dialogues in Breaking Bad
I'm not sure this is the right answer, so I'll comment it only. This is Walt's story, as told by Walt, to the audience which may include some Spanish-speakers. Walt doesn't understand Spanish. Like Walt, the audience participants have to experience the dialogue with lack of understanding if necessary.

comment What was the last movie to have a souvenir program available at showings?
@iandotkelly - if you watch this week's Mad Men (S6E05 - The Flood), you'll notice Don reading a copy of "The Ape" - the newspaper at the showing of the film "Planet of the Apes" in 1968.

comment Why is the connection between Hank and Marie and the colour purple?
Hank has a man cave, where he took Walt to drink scotch after the slaughter of all Mike's men in the prison. Like any man anywhere, what care does he have, what color a wife makes a Living Room?

comment Please help me identify Sci Fi Movie
How long ago would this have been? Would it have been considered a current movie at the time? Color or B/W?

comment What happens to Peggy Olsen's baby?
Just decided this is better as a comment - Peggy's baby, or the mystery of it, is an important plot point throughout a few later episodes. Any information would be a spoiler.

comment Is it legal to cut off the credits when showing a movie on TV?
My personal opinion is that the credits and their presentation are part of the copyrighted material, and any change made to their display violates that copyright. But, I am not a lawyer, and I see things in a US-centric view, this rule may vary according to locale.

comment Why does Sofia Vergara have an accent?
@Christian Rau - added the show tag. This accent is exagerated; I've seen her in other stuff on TV, and in a very early movie of hers - Big Trouble. Her other character accents can be suppressed, understated, or non-existent. She's ACTING!

comment Please identify this US Army movie
I recognize the Tagline: There's Been a F**kup, Sir! Also, the mistaken identity angle. And when I read a few reviews, I remember also, the ending wasn't very satisfying. Like they didn't know what movie they were making. Thanks.

comment Why does Stan Lee play random extras in Marvel films?
Also, everybody who watches these films knows who he is. Everyone notices him. He's a self-promoter.

comment Why does Stan Lee play random extras in Marvel films?
Because he can. Because he's old. Because he's rich. Because he's the creator of most of the characters. Because it's fun. Any or all of the above.

comment Movie about fishing family who buy their own boat and end up losing everything
Another good description is here. I found it interesting to read: It's not surprising either that the original documentary film that became La Terra Trema was commissioned by the Italian Communist Party.

comment Where are Frodo, Gandalf and the others going at the end and why?
My only comment here is that the Hobbits (and the dwarves?), as mortals, could not live forever; this was beyond them. They would live long, sheltered, contented lives, until they chose to "move on", supposedly die.

comment What was the answer to the box riddle?
A riddle is as much poetry as it is puzzle. Sometimes imagery is part of the question.

comment What was the answer to the box riddle?
The gold inside an egg is the yolk. There is no key. There is no lock, hinge or lid.
