I've always enjoyed this movie but would agree it was too long at 2 hours and 10 minutes. There were parts, especially in New York that kind of dragged on, and could have been cut out or shortened.
The Wonder Years was nominated for multiple Emmy's every year it was on. Including Fred Savage who was nominated twice for best lead actor.
Family Matters had 1 nomination late in its run, for visual effects.
Fred Savage was already fairly well known when the Wonder Years started. The Princess Bride was in 87, and he was a lead in Vice Versa in '88, which was the same year the show started. Add in The Wizard and Little Monsters which were early in the shows run, and I think it was pretty understandable how Savage ended up being invited many times.
Jaleel White was practically unknown prior to Family Matters, and even when he got casted in that he wasn't supposed to have a big part or be the lead. And aside from voice over work, he didn't do much else during it.
Not saying he's 100% wrong, but he's barking up the wrong tree by bring up Fred Savage. Maybe he should ask his agents and managers why they never got him invited to the Emmy's.
In the short term all the families involved would have made a fortune. And they would not have lost the manpower that was lost during the war. And Don Corleone would have remained at the top of his family for a longer stretch of time since he would never have been shot.
Long term, Barzani would silently be gaining large amounts of money from the drug trade without the Corleone's even knowing he was involved, since there was no meeting between the five families. Just as Tom had predicted, they used that to buy more police and political protection. Once they had all their pieces in place, they would start going after the Corleone's territory, and eventually take them out.
Based on the poor results of his last few blockbuster movies I would say they weren't paying to see him anymore even before the slap.
Did you touch her hair?
It was not sexual. It was a routine anal probe. For research purposes only.
He disappeared into the night and was never seen again. No blood trail or body was ever found. Many people doubt Loomis even shot him. Some people even question his very existence. Maybe it was Loomis himself, or perhaps Laurie killed her friends, and staged the whole thing. And while Laurie and the kids would always insist that there was a man there who was trying to kill them, and it wasn't Dr. Loomis, some people will always be skeptical. But the town of Haddonfield will forever be linked with The Legend of Michael Myers.
Jeannie Linero who played Sonny's mistress, and Vincient's mother. Lucy is no longer with us.
Simonetta Stefanelli was reported dead in 2005, but unlike her character Apollonia she is still with us.
That's about it.
I've got to admit, I think baths are gross, but would absolutely sit in a jacuzzi for an hour, with other people in there as well.
Also, Jack doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would keep his septic tank "almost full". He would have had that emptied once he realized it was getting close to full.
At minimum he turns off the water. I know next to nothing about home repairs and even I would know to do that.
Doesn't he have two. So he can smelt one, but still have the other.
1) and 1A) These are movie mistakes. Just have to let it slide in order to enjoy the movie.
2) Could also be a mistake. But if we really want to try to make it work for the sake of the movie either he stumbled into it, or Yvette told him.
3) Also doesn't make a ton of sense. Why would Hoover call the house while an active sting operation is going, and an undercover agent could be in danger? But for the sake of the movie again, maybe figured they were already in too deep into the night, and 3 more of his informants were still alive, including the cop, so might as well finish the job and hope he could get out in time.
4) Staying with the 3rd ending, perhaps he was under orders from Wadsworth, who was still blackmailing him, to go along with the ruse and allow him time to escape. And if he did anything to blow his cover, then he would expose him and everyone else. Obviously, he had no idea he was going to be killed. Which makes several more possibilities.
1) Wadsworth planned to have "Mr. Boddy" show up, confront him with his crimes, then turn him over to the police. Once he was at the station, Wadsworth would escape and flee to another country, and by the time the police discovered they had the wrong guy, it would be too late.
2) The plan was for one of the guests to kill Mr. Boddy and the other informants thus removing several threats to Wadsworth. When Mr. Boddy arrived at the house and saw the glares he got from the 6 guests, he realized he was in grave danger. That's when he first tried to flee but was stopped by the dogs. He even tried to warn everyone that it was a hoax. So when he was brought back to the study he threw last desperate attempt to save his life and giving everyone the weapons and telling them to trust the devil they know. Then he turned off the lights so to protect the person who actually did it. Afterwards he would tell them the truth and they would all be free of the blackmail.
Yvette's French accent is very inconsistent, and she frequently misuses or mispronounces common French words. But this was done intentionally by the film makers since Yvette is not actually a French maid, but just pretending to be one for the night, under orders from Mr. Boddy.
During dinner, after the partition between the dining room and kitchen is open, Wadsworth spends most of the time standing in between Mrs. Peacock and the window to the kitchen. It's possible he's blocking the view, so she doesn't see her old cook there, whom she probably knows informed Mr. Boddy about her. Or maybe he doesn't want the Cook to know her old employer is there, which might tip her off to what's really going on and that she might be in danger.
J. Peterman or Mickey.
He also had his fiancee die weeks before their wedding, which should help garner sympathy from most women.
Seriously though, George got laid way more often than a guy like him should, and with women who were way out of his league.
V. CHOKOKU is normally imposed for the first instance of an offence that has not reduced a competitor’s chances of winning by the opponent’s foul.
VI. KEIKOKU is normally imposed where the contestant's potential for winning is slightly diminished (in the opinion of the Judges) by the opponent's foul.
dis·cre·tion
/dəˈskreSH(ə)n/
Learn to pronounce
noun
1.
the quality of behaving or speaking in such a way as to avoid causing offense or revealing private information.
"she knew she could rely on his discretion"
2.
the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation.
"it is up to local authorities to use their discretion in setting the charges"
It is the judge's (referee) decision as to whether Sam's ability to win was slightly diminished or not. You could make a case for either way, but the audience found out later the real reason he made the decision he did.
So the Referee was the one who had to decide, or in other words IT WAS AT HIS DISCRETION. Just because they didn't use that exact word doesn't change the meaning. I'll send you a thesaurus.

Go to explanation 1. It is COMPLETELY at the referee's discretion how to handle the situation. Either he gives a warning, a penalty point, or disqualifies. Obviously, it didn't merit a DQ. So whether it's a penalty point or not is the refs call. Of course we know why he made his choice, BUT DANIEL DIDN'T.
You seem to be having a hard time understanding his one basic concept: DANIEL DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE REF WAS PAID OFF. Right now he is just another parent blaming a referee or an umpire for their kids failures. So every decision he is making isn't because they were cheated, it's just him not honoring an agreement.
<blockquote> Tory won because the referee didn't score Sams legitimate point and didn't penalise Tory for the elbow to the eye (doesn't matter whether or not it was on purpose, it is still a foul) </blockquote>
To PENALIZE someone for illegal contact is at the referee's discretion. As far as Daniel knows the ref decided on his own that the contact was incidental and not worthy of a penalty. Likewise in the 84 final, Johnny very deliberately dropped an elbow on Daniel's bad knee and was not penalized.
Also on the point that wasn't counted, it was a split second judgement call. Unless someone was recording the final, we don't know if Sam was actually out of bounds. And we also don't know if Daniel has seen the tape yet. When he does see it, and if the point should have counted, as far as Daniel knows the ref just blew the call on human error.
<blockquote> Furthermore, at this moment we the audience don't know whether or not Daniel himself will be teaching so it is a bit premature to say he won't honour the bet. </blockquote>
He said it at Myagi's grave that he wasn't going to honor the agreement.
But Daniel didn't know that Silver paid off the ref when he vowed to not honor their agreement. As far as he knows Tory won clean.
It would be like if you were driving your car drunk and caused an accident that killed another driver, but it was discovered later that the guy you killed was a serial killer.
