I know not every movie is perfect, but I want to figure out this part of the movie:

After Joker fought Batman at the party, he thought Batman was Dent. Then Dent announces he's Batman and turns himself in. He gets hauled away in an armored truck, and Joker goes out to actually kill or seriously injure Dent. Then Joker sees Batman again, long story short he and Gordon capture Joker and take him to jail. At the interrogation room he says he first thought Batman was Dent, but he captured Dent and Rachel to play a game with Batman.

So, at what point did his plan change from killing Batman (Dent), to playing a game where real Batman has to save his girl or the important guy of Gotham?

When was Rachel captured-- if it was when Joker was trying to kill Batman (Dent), why would she be important to anybody?

Let's say Joker takes an alive, incapacitated Batman (Dent) out of the van, and says he has Rachel strapped to a bomb-- what would his plan be at that point?

It's easy to say MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice, but their careers were dead by 1993 at the latest. It wasn't until the late 90s when you started seeing corny party rap again.

So other than that, who was the worst?

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (which DW and other games are based on) isn t accurate, but it s not criticized for misrepresenting history. So why is BV criticized for fictionalizing WW2?

A white collar woman who's romantically involved with a blue collar guy is associated with a company headed by

an eccentric genius that's working on a scientific breakthrough. The blue collar guy looks into the company, which causes trouble for him and he loses the woman. He falls into a depression, then is fitted with the same breathrough- an intelligent symbiote that talks to him and gives him special powers and turns his life around. There's a fight in the kitchen, and he's chased on the streets by drones and hitmen.

Not every movie has to be original, but the first half of the movie is almost copies of each other. That's way beyond coincidence. Any reason why?

I understand how football is played, but I was never a fan of the NFL, so I don't know a lot about game and rule changes over the years, or rivalries, or best teams/players/coaches of all time. For example, I remember years ago a friend saying the new helmets are ugly, but they looked the same to me because I wasn't paying attention.

What can you tell me (or do you know a good site/article) are the most important things about the history and "culture" of the NFL to a non-fan?

I cracked open an egg from a carton I bought from a well-known grocery chain, and out came a lump of a partially developed chick. That killed my appetite for the rest of the day. How can I check an egg before cracking it, and avoid having a surprise gross-out moment?

There's a year and a half until 2020, but it feels like everything's the same since the 2000s. Other than 3d printing, neural networks, blockchain.... what other science/tech advancements happened in the 2010s?

I've been reading about human-like robots for years, but if it's still in development/testing then it doesn't count.

Pilate accuses Jesus of being the king of the Jews, and Jesus says, "you yourself have said so." Does that mean Jesus is affirming the accusation, or is he mocking Pilate for putting words in his mouth?

I'm looking for something like a mechanical computer brain. in an otherwise organic human body. Anything like that in books/movies/video games etc?

Let's say the body of land between LA+SF (Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Salinas, Santa Cruz, San Mateo and San Francisco) was a state. Would the economies of that land area be enough to sustain its current population?

What about the rest of California? Could it survive economically without the major industries from LA+SF and other listed counties in the new state?

I don't want a debate about whether it's good or bad. But there were a lot of trends in culture and media that weren't controversial in the late-2000s, and quickly became unacceptable in the early 2010s. When did it become noticeable in society? 2011? 2013? 2007?

It's not available on home video, it's only had limited screenings since 2002. But I've seen it called one of the most innovative movies of this early century. One of the fight scenes from Blade Runner 2049 is supposedly inspired by the movie.

What can I do to track down such a rare movie, whether I have to buy it or wait for the next theater screening?

I have an electric kettle. I fill it up with water, boil it, wait a few hours so it's not hot, then put it in a Brita pitcher for drinking. How does boiling then filtering improve tap water quality, if at all? What does it remove or not remove from the tap water?

If you hated living through the 1990s, what was happening at that time that you didn't like?

Fred Flintstone's friend was Barney Rubble, he was a member of the Water Buffalo club. Did George Jetson live an empty existence as nothing more than a human ATM for his wife and kids?

Scientifically or technologically or whatever else, how has your everyday life changed in the past 10 years?

There's a scene where the security vault with the bonds is opened. The terrorists run inside the vault, and the camera focuses on a painting, of dancers entering a room with a piano in it.

Is that a well-known painting? What's the name of it?

I have really vague memories of seeing MGS1 played by kids at a store, sometime in 1998. I think it was during the summer of 98, but the game was released in America in October. Maybe the store had an early copy, but was there ever an early demo of the game? That makes more sense, because it was a local game store and not a big name retail chain.
