That's something a lot of people don't understand about cancer, is that it can last for YEARS. There are some forms that will carry a person off in a matter of months, but others that can be fought for years as Boseman had to. I've even heard of people battling with hemotological cancers for 15-20 years. And a person with these cancers has to go on with their life the whole time, raising children and earning a living, maybe even having the kind of success he did, while dealing with cancer the whole time. We just never know what other people are going through.
It’s no surprise that there are so many cinema lovers who appreciate movies by watching them over and over again. Films have the magical power of pressing pause on our everyday problems and carrying us into distant worlds, full of the most interesting characters and fantastic scenarios.
If you also consider yourself to be a true movie expert, you should definitely take a look at the Film Facts Twitter account. They take some of the best never-before-heard details about cinema and share them online with more than 251.6K of their followers.
These tidbits of information are not only cool to know for your weekly trivia nights or for impressing your friends and family members. When you’re presented with a quick question, you need to be able to pull that information from your memory or try to connect the dots and think of a possible answer. Learning new things and being able to put them into context helps to keep your mind sharp and healthy.

You forgot to mention she is a professional video editor, which makes a huge difference as a lot of experience and software knowledge is required for this job. From text it sounds like she never edited any film before
Some people tend to dismiss learning new and interesting facts as a waste of time because today you can find any information you need with just a few Google searches. However, when a person is asked a trivia question that they know the answer to, they suddenly perk up and feel engaged.
One of the reasons behind this is simply that answering a trivia question provides us with a thrill. “You get a rush or a neuroreward signal or a dopamine burst from winning,” John Kounios, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, told Healthline.
“I think whenever you’re challenged with a trivia question and you happen to know it, you get a rush. It’s sort of like gambling.”

Amazing film, everything about it is near perfection for all ages
For anyone who’s wondering if you have to be smart on many different levels to be good at answering quiz questions, Kounios said that people aren’t necessarily better at trivia games just because they’re more educated. “Some people soak up facts,” he continued. “Plenty of people with a lot more education may not remember what they had for breakfast yesterday morning.”
“In typical people, my observation, not backed up by any research, is that their interest in trivia is confined to topics that they are generally interested in,” the professor added. “So if a person is very interested in history, then they may either seek out history trivia, or they might just naturally pick it up in the course of learning about nontrivial aspects of history.”

Well, Goetz wasn't charged with war crimes as such, but the Nazi's learned that he stole goods from murdered Jewish people. That wasn't a problem for the nazi's, but the fact that he didn't give the goods to the Reich but kept them in his own posession was a problem. He was charged with theft from the Reich. This was at the end of the war though, and the allied forces took over control shortly after his imprisonment. He was sentenced to death for murdering tens of thousands of people after the war.

George Lucas has talents as a film-maker, but one of them is not writing dialogue. As Harrison Ford once observed “George, you can type this sh!t, but you sure can’t say it.”

Tom Hardy was amazing as Bane, even the voice. Do you know how hard it is to act behind a mask and still exude emotion to create fear and panic? He was fantastic.

This is also a reason why there are many police series on TV, and to an extent medical series: Police officers are an "everyman"-figure/literary device, for the viewer to see through their eyes, and they can enter ANY house and ask ANY (relevant) question, which allows more freedom for writers to discuss any subject.

Personally, I think that Robbie Coltrane owned that role. I have very high praise for the late Robin Williams, but I don't think the role would've been right for him.

michael caine said he struggled with understanding what was real and what wasn´t during the filming, so Christopher Nolan told him - wherever Caine is, its real. (he was in the last scene) yeehaw.

As a former junky, I only pooped about twice a month, if I was lucky, and it was like giving birth to Thanos. I'm better now.

Highest-grossing doesn't necessarily mean good. Then again, Oscar doesn't necessarily mean good.

Unfortunately it made no sense. There's a washer, there's a hamper with clothes, etc. It's clearly where a dryer should be and suddenly there's an out of place table with an even more out of place pizza box. Maybe just watch movies with your children and teach them about real and fantasy and the dangers of hiding in a dryer?

That would be how I would die in this universe. I'd be sneaking around silently and then say "ooh, chips?" and 20 seconds later... boom, dead.

Also, the directing is heavily influenced by the works of Andrei Tarkovsky. FYI, I recommend at least watching ‘Stalker’ and/or ‘Solaris’ by Tarkovsky.

The highest grossing actor is the one whose movies in total have made the most money. It's meant to be a measure of the biggest box office draw and therefore the best or at least most compelling and attractive actor. Who is the highest grossing actor of all time? Cameo extraordinaire, Stan Lee.

Does that include just his appearance fees or also the money he made due to co-owning all those properties?
