 comment Alternate conclusions of The Usual Suspects
@AntonChanning What had the original witness seen, specifically? I can only recall them referring to the witness as someone who could identify him.

 comment Alternate conclusions of The Usual Suspects
A man with a limp is unlikely to be a conman ('beautiful people' are generally better at it), and a conman is unlikely to move to a gang that uses violence (con-men typically pride themselves on their complete lack of violence). So the true Keyser Söze seemed obvious to me. OTOH the entire plot seemed pointless since he exchanged one scared illegal immigrant who could identify him, for two local cops who could identify him. Where is the benefit?

 comment Movie where jury gets swapped just before a trial begins
In that case, you might have expected the prosecutors to demand the judges keep the same juries, but swap trials. Think about it..

 comment What caused and ended the time loop in Groundhog Day?
I felt there was an added element to it. Phil started to help/think of other people before the loop ended (e.g. the old man he'd initially ignored, but then tried continually to save). The crucial element was that he had to become such a good person that Rita could 'fall in love' with him in a single day I put 'fall in love' in inverted commas since she might just have been fond of him, but it seemed she was the crucial 'loop breaking' element. +1 for the answer.
