Cobweb (2023)

Trivia: A teacher at a Miami charter school showed this film to his 4th-grade class. He allowed them to select the film they wanted to watch, and they picked this, with nobody realising it was a horror film. Apparently, the movie played for over 20 minutes before the teacher shut it off, despite earlier protests from his students about its content.

X-Men 3 (2006)

Trivia: According to new reports, the real reason Matthew Vaughn left this film is because he found a large script featuring a scene in Africa with Storm ending a drought for thirsty villagers. The executives told him that was a fake script to entice Halle Berry into remaining in the film. Vaughn was disgusted with their duplicity and exited the project.

Trivia: This film nearly had a completely different story. Marvel originally wanted Kraven to be the main antagonist, but Sony refused, as they wanted to establish Kraven in his own upcoming solo film before allowing him to appear in an MCU film.

Question: When Gandalf remarks that there are older and fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world, is he referring specifically to the Balrog? If not, what are some other monsters he could be referring to?

Phaneron

Answer: Yes, he is referring to the Balrog. Though, he doesn't know for sure, he has been suspicious that there was a Balrog awakened in Moria.

Growing Pains - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After Rogue absorbs Blob's powers to stop him from collapsing the bleachers, the shot changes, and we see Blob falling to his knees, and Rogue standing directly behind him. The shot changes again, and Rogue is suddenly crouched down on the rubble with Kitty standing behind her, and Blob nowhere to be seen.

Growing Pains - S2-E1

Stupidity: When the new principal is addressing the student body, Avalanche tries to impress Kitty by causing a couple of small earthquakes, one of which causes the scoreboard to crash to the floor below. The principal laughs off the incident and continues to address everyone instead of either evacuating the area or having everyone take cover.
