RE: A Serious Man - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
Red Owl was a real Midwest grocery store chain, with several stores in the Twin Cities area, including Knollwood Plaza in St. Louis Park, about two miles south of the Coen family home. The Red Owl mentioned in the film is identified as being in Bloomington, suburb some ways to the south of St. Louis Park. The significance in Rabbi Nachtner's anecdote is that Sussman's investigation of the teeth mystery takes him on a drive in the middle of the night that would have taken about an hour and a half round trip: far enough to seem just a little obsessed, but not too much. The Red Owl sign used in an exterior scene in the movie was a genuine antique, which unfortunately was accidentally dropped and destroyed after filming.

RE: Schindler's List - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
After the book's author Thomas Keneally wrote a miniseries-length script, Kurt Luedtke was hired by Steven Spielberg to write the screenplay, but he gave up after four years' work, reportedly because he was unable to come up with a believable reason for Schindler's conversion from opportunist to sympathizer. Steven Zaillian, who had already written a script when Martin Scorsese was still directing, was called back. Together with Spielberg, he conceived the scene where Schindler witnesses the ghetto liquidation, with the focus on the red-coated girl.

RE: Barry Lyndon - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
In a scene where Patrick Magee (Chevalier de Balibari) was supposed to deal cards, he began to sweat, and the sweat on his palms made it nearly impossible to deal cards smoothly. Writer, Producer, and Director Stanley Kubrick brought in a professional card dealer, and then realized that the card dealer's hands were smooth, while Magee's were hairy. To prevent continuity problems, Magee's hands were shaved so the cuts would both look like him.

RE: Bride of Chucky - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
David says mass murderers kill people all at once like at the post office, a reference to the phrase 'Going Postal', referring to becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment. The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1986 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1970 and 1997, more than 40 people were killed by current or former employees in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage. Between 1986 and 2011, workplace shootings happened at roughly two per year, with an average of 12 people killed per year, most notably the Edmond post office shooting that occurred in Edmond, Oklahoma, on August 20, 1986. During a deadly rampage that lasted less than fifteen minutes, postal worker Patrick Sherrill pursued and shot twenty co-workers, killing fourteen of them, before committing suicide.
