Probably so; Sawyer gets his comeuppance in the courtroom, when Mr. Macy, after stepping down from the witness stand, fires him.
That said, the most difficult part of the movie to “swallow” was: How did Kringle’s cane wind up in the new house Fred and Doris (with Susan) went into at the end?
In Driving Miss Daisy, Houk (the Morgan Freeman character) has the job of being Miss Daisy’s chauffeur. Later on, when Daisy is tending her husband’s grave, she asks him to put some flowers on another grave, telling him the name, and he confesses that he doesn’t know how to read.
Question: If he is illiterate, how did he get a driver’s license? Didn’t they have written tests then?
I think you might be mixing up Raiders with Last Crusade. There’s no airship in Raiders–Indy starts to leave Cairo by boat, but the boat is boarded by the Germans. He then hitches a ride on a U-Boat to their secret base (either by lashing himself to the periscope or staying on top because the U-Boat just coasts along the surface, depending on which script or novelization you read). Raiders starts in 1936, and the Hindenberg happened in May of 1937. Last Crusade takes place in 1938, so you have a beef there. Wikipedia says Pan-Am started running commercial transatlantic flights in the 1930s, but doesn’t get more specific than that.
Perhaps, rather then being a normal, powerless person, perhaps she has the ability to make illusions. She could easily use them to escape. The name “Mirage” could go either way, really.
Or, perhaps she was arrested, but off-screen.
Well, here’s your answer:
Grace Kelley wasn’t always in the room. She was Stewart’s girlriend, all right, but she wasn’t there all the time and he was. In fact, Thelma Ritter as the caretaker was there more often–and she had no sex appeal for Stewart! Besides, he could watch Miss Torso, and even Miss Lonelyhearts–who must have had some appeal, to get the attention of composer Ross Bagdasarian (and even the masher).
I think BobLibDem’s question was meant to be rhetorical.
Even today, states will adminster the written test to you orally if you can’t read or don’t know English or whatever language the test is offered in.
If you’re figuring that Hoke got his license back in the 1930s, illiteracy would have been a big issue for a lot of people.
Ohhhhhh, you don’t want to look in there.
This too may be primarily rhetorical, but in California, quite literally, drivers-license applicants are expected to be able to read English well enough to understand road signs. An illiterate person would have a hard time doing this.
A couple of dead aliens.
I want to know what was in the case in Ronin?
In the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy takes the Scarecrow down and he starts into his song-and-dance he says
What’s a Ding-A-Derry?
It’s pretty much just a scarecrow with a brain.
That movie is so confusing- at least the second time, I understood the situations. Jesus, I didn’t even realize we didn’t know what was in the package.
Who was that guy in whose house De Niro wakes up in after the failed heist, who has the Ronin figures, and thus explains how these dudes are like Ronin loyal to their boss for the time being. And, uh, what was Frankenheimer thinking with the whole Ronin thing anyways? And with making a boring movie?
No need to look anywhere but Google.*

Let’s just say that lyricist E. Y. Harburg was more concerned with how his words fit together and rhymed than that they were all real words and used properly! These are two examples of lyrics he made up for the songs, both sung by the Scarecrow. “Ding-a-derry” is something good, but I have no idea how clever a gizzard is. (I doubt that this is the same gizzard that is a part of a bird’s digestive system!) *
That was Jean Reno’s friend.
Well, De Niro’s character was somewhat of a ronin-type figure.
Hey, I liked it, and I fail to see how you could find the chase sequences boring. The actors certainly didn’t (they were in the cars doing the chases at high speed).
That was very interesting. Thanks. A little source of confusion way back in my head is finally quieted.
Now, for the other bazillion…
Oh, and the thing about the Wicked Witch’s castle guards: It always sounded like they were chanting
“Oreo…Eorey”, or something similar. Anyway, Oreo was in there somewhere.
Don’t know why they liked Austraila, but when you first see the table, the extra triangles are all parked at the edges of the map, and then moved inwards, so they weren’t simply sticking them there because they had no place else to put them.
I have a feelignthat it was being done to represent the fact that they’d had no communication out of there, so the assumption would be that the place would be overran with guys wearing tennis shoes and Roman Legion style helmets, all looking for their missing Illudium P-36 Space Modulators.
That’s the martian on Bugs Bunny, right?
That’s funny. 
Regarding the contents of the case in Ronin and Pulp Fiction, as well as what was in the trunk of the car in Repo Man, it is the great nuclear thingamajig from Kiss Me Deadly.
