Batman: Arkham Asylum

9th May 2021

Batman: Arkham City

Plot hole: They only say Harley Quinn took the cure. Impossible given the back entrance was sealed up with ice and Bat-Man could only get in the front with the REC gadget.

Batman: Arkham City

Stupidity: Mr Freeze should've realised a healthy Batman would have a better chance of finding his wife.

Batman: Arkham City

Other mistake: In the side mission "Identity Thief" Hush leaves Arkham City after revealing he now looks like Bruce Wayne. Problem is how he's able to, especially with Penguin's reward for bringing Bruce Wayne to him.

Suggested correction: Hush is a resourceful man, and could figure out a way to disguise himself or get to his escape route with minimal contact with anyone else. Plus, the Penguin's gang was decimated and Arkham City thrown into chaos during the events of the story, so most of the inmates probably had bigger problems than chasing a bounty that was likely rendered moot when Batman imprisoned Penguin midway through the story.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Lucy Writes a Novel - S3-E23

Character mistake: When Fred, Ethel, and Ricky confront Lucy on what she wrote about them in her novel Ricky states "I'm so hammy I should go lie down between two slices of rye bread." This is incorrect. Lucy wrote "He turned into such a big ham you could stuff him with cloves."

Answer: As noted elsewhere here Jeannie is speaking Farsi.

What are the several things she says in Farsi? Please translate.

Answer: Regarding the three wishes, there was never any set-in-stone rule or belief. This appears to originate from "The Ridiculous Wishes" or "The Three Ridiculous Wishes" that is a French literary fairy tale written by Charles Perrault and was published in 1697. It sort of set the standard for genie rules that later appeared in other folk tales and then in movies and TV shows. Like vampire lore, common details can be changed by any author to suit their story.

Answer: She's speaking Persian. And there was never a 3 wish rule. When Tony freed her, he became her master, and she'd do anything for him (i.e. grant his every wish).

Plot hole: It's impossible for Morganna to have killed the stripper, leave, then get back quickly as herself.

Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.

You mean Arthur. Merlin was in Bermuda.

Christine (1983)

Trivia: One time Alexandra Paul brought her twin sister Caroline to the set and successfully pranked director John Carpenter by having Caroline shoot a scene. Carpenter, very amused, later said he could tell there was something odd going on when they shot the scene... but couldn't quite figure out what it was.

Audio problem: More than once in the piano playing scenes there's music playing even as the characters' fingers aren't touching the keys.

Ladykillers (1988)

Other mistake: The film's set in Seattle but was filmed in Canada. This is evidenced by things like a Canadian red striped postal box as well as cars with Canadian license plates.

Revealing mistake: An obvious double for Anne Archer the morning after her assault. The double's hair isn't shoulder long and is thicker than Archer's.

Factual error: No judge would award guardianship of a person with something like autism to a sibling who's a recovering alcoholic and drug dealer.

Suggested correction: I think it is POSSIBLE, but not probable. Someone on the spectrum may have poor coping skills when dealing with strangers or would not do well if placed in an unfamiliar environment. Placement with a sibling - even one as you described (recovering alcoholic and drug dealer) - may be less traumatic and disruptive than with a non-relative or stranger. A judge would have to weigh the bad against the good while considering the person's needs and the sibling's ability to meet or exceed those needs.
