tealinRandom neurons firing today brought up these ancient questions:
1. Anyone seen Ever After? Does she actually call herself the Comtesse Nicole de Lancre? A quick Google search seems to say so but IMDb spells it 'Lancret.' Does anyone know the official spelling?
2. The train Bruce Willis' character (very much the watchman) gets onto at the beginning of Unbreakable is #177. Is this an actual train number that goes between Philadelphia and ... wotsit ... New York? Is it a coincidence?
(Possibly also a coincidence is that the Pasadena Rapit Transit bus that goes to the Jet Propulsion Lab is #177 ... then again, it is full of science nerds, so this may not be a coincidence...)
