In “12 Monkeys” is Jeffrey involved in the virus plot or just the animal-release plot? and earlier, in the mental hospital, James never mentioned the plot directly -- it was Jeffrey who appeared to already have had it in mind: JAMES: "Maybe people deserved to be wiped out." JEFFREY (startled, turning): "Wiping out the human race? That's a great idea! But it's more of a long-term thing. Right now we have to focus on more immediate goals." |

In “12 Monkeys” is Jeffrey involved in the virus plot or just the animal-release plot? Down-vote because this answer provides no evidence; it is just an opinion. Also, this answer mis-characterizes Jeffrey's response to James's mentioning the virus, which actually suggests Jeffrey IS involved with the virus: "You were all upset about the...desecration of the planet. And you said to me, "Wouldn't it be great if there was a germ or a virus that could wipe out mankind and leave the plants and animals just as they are? ... And that's when I told you my father was this famous virologist and you said, "Hey, he could make a germ and we could steal it!" |

Outside of the movie, what evidence confirms scoring battles of “King of Kong” are real? this is good stuff and I gave up-vote, but I don't find it conclusive. No pictures of Billy, for one thing. Filmmakers could have seen this info and borrowed the name. |

Is the street fight in “They Live” the longest clocked street fight in a film? I always assumed the fight was meant for the pro-wrestling fans in the audience, as the movie's star Rowdy Roddy Piper came from the pro-wrestling world |

Were the 3 prequels intended? Thanks, but not necessary -- I tried to remove my down-vote (unsuccessfully) after re-reading your answer. I mistakenly thought you were saying Lucas had begun working on the prequels before he made Star Wars, which strikes me as unbelievable. But you answered that Lucas began working on prequels some time around Return of the Jedi production, which is easy to accept. |

Why are there a lot of Hollywood-remakes of successful non-US-movies? Lauren, international versions of shows like The Office are virtually identical to the U.S. version. You might be thinking of the Ricky Gervais U.K. show, which pre-dated the slate of versions of The Office airing around the world today. But as much as culturally possible, those current versions are the same show, same essential characters, same jokes.... |

How accurate are the smoking and drinking habits of the characters on Mad Men? hmmm he's described as "an over-the-top publicity-seeker" and we're supposed to believe his over-the-top story? |

In “Citizen Kane” does Bernstein purposely take a tumble into the newspaper office? Intriguing idea. But I think the relationship between the three men is conveyed before Bernstein's tumble -- when Kane and Leland enter together, while Bernstein is outside with the stuff. So to me, the tumble seems to have separate meaning. I'm leaning towards the explanation that Kane wants to stir up chaos when he arrives, to make it easier to dethrone the old editor. So he plans for Bernstein to add to the chaos by taking the tumble. |

The credibility of the Envy killing in Se7en Like this answer suggests, I think Doe was envious of Mills' family life, which Doe recognizes he could never have for himself |

The credibility of the Envy killing in Se7en remember that John Doe made contact with Mills at one of the crime scenes, when Doe was there taking pictures. I always thought Doe keyed on Mills after this meeting. |
