Aug 3	answered	Was the opening scene in Dark Knight Rises there in the original script?
Aug 2	awarded	Nice Question
Aug 1	revised	What type of leader is Bane? made intro more fun
Aug 1	comment	What kind of apparatus is Bane's mask? took three tries but eventually we nailed it! ;)
Jul 31	comment	What type of leader is Bane? Good points. I up-voted and I'm leading toward accepting. During the opening scene, I got the impression that Bane somehow inspired a do-anything-for-him loyalty, but maybe that loyalty only applied to a few close minions. Which makes it all the more impressive that Bane managed everyone so smoothly throughout the 5-month occupation.

Jul 30	comment	What did the Dent Act do? anyone know more details about "the loophole" mentioned in the letter?
Jul 30	comment	In “Dark Knight Rises” what was U.S. government's strategy? Thank you, I must have misunderstood. I thought Bain announced the five-months limit in his stadium speech to freak everyone out. I didn't realize it was only certain characters who were aware of five-months thing... seemed like common knowledge
Jul 30	revised	In “Dark Knight Rises” what was U.S. government's strategy? corrected error in question
Jul 30	comment	In “Dark Knight Rises” what was U.S. government's strategy? I did watch the movie and I must have mis-remembered Bane's stadium speech including something like "it's going to blow and there's nothing anyone can do about it." And also just about every significant character in the movie is aware of the 5 months thing, so I'm not sure how gov't would be in the dark. But I suppose I should suspend disbelief, eh? ;)

Jul 25	comment	Why was the surgery pod configured only for men in Prometheus? maybe the original screenplay called for abortion, but some editor along the way toned it down? just a theory. because the decision to script the machine as men-only really just doesn't make sense. maybe it was tossed in just to a cheap layer of suspense? mysterious...
Jul 25	comment	Identify a movie where boy controls his family just watched the B&W TV version on the 'net... that kid is damn creepy... ick
Jul 24	awarded	Excavator
Jul 24	revised	Why is there no Robin in the Nolan-directed Batman movies? tightened grammar
Jul 23	accepted	Were children subjected to shock therapy in the 1960s, as implied in Moonrise Kingdom?
Jul 23	accepted	Which audience was targeted by “Scarecrow and Mrs. King”?
Jul 23	comment	How accurate are the smoking and drinking habits of the characters on Mad Men? "not unwillingly" LOL you go girl
Jul 23	comment	In Back to the Future, why don't Marty's parents ever mention how similar he looks to the Marty of 1955 Exactly -- viewers only see the updated versions of Marty's parents for a few minutes, both those versions could have noticed the similarity and commented on it at any earlier point in Marty's life.
