What story is the music video Snuff trying to portray? I think it is fine considering the cinematic qualities of the video. |

How can the ending of “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance” be explained? Could it just be a mistake on the inspector's part through lack of facts? |

Rookie Anderson's initial evaluation of Dredd Certainly, the thought that Judges could so easily have been bought off must have shaken his view. |

Movie about a medical student who becomes rich on gold mining in the 19th century I dug a little deeper. Not sure if I've struck gold though... |

Movie about a medical student who becomes rich on gold mining in the 19th century Upon reflection, I was way off :) |

Why not make full use of the eagles in The Hobbit? I would disagree, but then I've only sold a couple of short stories and am not Tolkien, so I'll defer to your sensible comments. I'm just being unnecessarily pedantic this morning. |

Why not make full use of the eagles in The Hobbit? I totally appreciate that, DForck. However, I would argue that if one wanted to write a rollicking adventure, one shouldn't include an easy option which then leads to grumpy old farts like me arguing their merits. |

Why not make full use of the eagles in The Hobbit? That final link is very interesting - it seems Tolkien had reservations himself about including the eagles. I'll wait a couple of days to see if anything else is unearthed before signing off on your answer - thanks, Oliver. |

Dredd - Did Anderson actually pass? Great answer, Matthew. |

What is the significance of the iconic imagery in the ending of Dredd Enjoy that blu-ray, Morpheus - Dredd was one of the highlights of 2012 for me ;) |

What is the significance of the iconic imagery in the ending of Dredd I don't have a definitive answer for you, but I would hazard a guess that the wall behind Ma-Ma is a trophy wall, considering the Judges' helmet and rival gang jacket. Wasn't one of the original gangs that was cleared out by Ma-Ma wearing clown makeup? As for the wire tiger, I think it demonstrates the inner strength of Anderson - 'letting the animal out', if you will. |

How can I find out if a movie/series is still restricted by copyright? Yep - all of Hugo's links will help you figure this out. The public domain issue is a cloudy one, however, and it is worth noting that George Lucas had this in mind when he sold to Disney - due to Disney's previous lobbying in congress to extend the copyright of their properties ad infinitum, this means Stars Wars will not be entering the public domain any time after Lucas' death. At least not for the foreseeable future. |

Identify movie: [comically] breaking stuff around the house with his penis Perhaps I confused it with BASEketball, Kevin's anaswer below. My bad. |

Why can't we see the camera? True - however, this question deals specifically with 'face-on' shots. |

Are the comedic elements in the film Jack Reacher evident in the novels on which it was based? It wasn't just me then ;) Thank you for this answer. |

The hobbit, how is it possible that 48 FPS is better than 24 FPS And with Douglas Trumbull experimenting with 120 fps, I feel all the current debating will become moot ;) |

The hobbit, how is it possible that 48 FPS is better than 24 FPS Can we just clarify something? When you write 'screen' in your question, do you actually mean frame, i.e. each of the 48 individual frames that comprise a second of film? |

Was the success of Rupert Pupkin real in King of Comedy? I'll continue to dig... |

Are there any plans to make a sequel to the film Evolution (2001) Absolutely. Even back then, a film needed to double its budget to break even. Thanks for the B.O. Clarification. |

Star Wars IV : Why was the princess rescued in the first place? Add this as an answer, Dan, as you have it right. Just change the spelling to Alderaan. The plotline isn't confused - they were on their way to Alderaan, their destination was gone, they chase the TIE fighter, get pulled into the Death Star and then Artoo alerts them to the fact that Leia is being held on board - that's when Luke coerces Han into rescuing her with the lure of reward. |
