Q: Build a movie plot around this: Who is Themistocles? Athenian general
A: Note: this film is actually a prequel as well as a sequel to the original '300' film (with the events happening before, concurrently, and after the events of the previous film).In the opening scene, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) narrates about King Darius (Igal Naor) leading his army of Persians into Greece in the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The Athenian general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) led his own army against them at the shores. The Greeks brutally and effortlessly take down the invading Persians one by one, paving the way for Themistocles to take aim at Darius, who is watching the massacre of his men from his ship offshore. Themistocles raises a bow and arrow, ready to commit the act that would make him known as a legend. He releases the bow just in time for Darius's son, Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to watch. He runs to his father's side but is too late to save him as the arrow pierces him. Xerxes holds his father in his arms and locks eyes with Themistocles. The latter walks away, with Gorgo stating that he knew in his heart that he made a mistake not to kill Xerxes when he had the chance.Darius is returned to his kingdom to lie in his deathbed. He and Xerxes are joined by Artemisia (Eva Green), Darius's commanding naval officer, said to be as vicious as she is beautiful. She holds Darius's hand. In his dying moments, he tells Xerxes that it is best to leave the Greeks alone, for only the gods can defeat them. Artemisia pulls the arrow out of his chest to end his suffering. For a week, Xerxes sits and mourns the death of his father. On the eighth day, Artemisia holds Xerxes and tells him that his father's last words were not a warning, but a challenge. If only the gods can defeat the Greeks, then, she tells him, he is to become the god king.Artemisia has Xerxes sent into the desert wearing chains until he walks into a cave with a pool of bright gold liquid. Xerxes steps in, with, as Gorgo states, a dark desire for power and revenge. Xerxes emerges with a...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who plays Sheriff Landry? Tom Skerritt
Answer: The movie begins with a man smashing a car and his wife is yelling at him with neighbors looking on. A sheriff truck pulls up and Joe Bill Rack Ranklin (Toby Keith) and his partner Lonnie (Rodney Carrington) try to settle the dispute. The man is convinced his wife is cheating on him with another man (who Lonnie later spots in his underwear and shows Rank, but he ignores it). As punishment, the husband ruins the lovers truck with a baseball bat however Rank tells him the truck he just ruined doesn't belong to the lover, but in fact belongs to Jay Bob Simpson (who later beats him up). Rack arrives home late and his girlfriend Cammie (Gina Gershon) leaves him, running over his lawnmower with her truck. Rack goes to work the next day and Sheriff Landry (Tom Skerritt) assigns Rack, Lonnie, and another deputy named Skunk (Ted Nugent), nightwatchmen duty on two of the fertilizer tanks. Lonnie takes his fat, gassy, lazy dog along for the ride. A truck pulls up and a group of Mexicans attempt to steal the tanks, but the three agents stop him. The gang celebrates by arriving at the local beer tavern, where they join the Sheriff Landy for a toast. The celebratory tradition goes by saying: Whiskey for my men. Beer for my horses. The next day on his way to the local cafe, Rack meets up with bad boy Johnny Franks (Chad Brummett) who informs him that the guy he arrested, whose name is Tito, has a brother who may be out looking for him. Rack rebuffs the threat and walks into the bar. He strikes up a conversation with the waitress, who informs him that his ex-girlfriend Annie Streets is back in town helping out her mother, and that he should go by and see her. He arrives at the house and reunites with Annie (Claire Forlani), but was thrown out by her stepfather Buck Baker (Barry Corbin) who mocked him about his father and the deputy position. He meets with Annie later and asks her out on a date, which she accepts. At the sheriffs office, Rack informs his secretary Mavis to retrieve a fax regarding Tito. District Attorney...
[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What is the profession of Hollis Mulwray? The chief engineer for the city's water department
****
[A]: Set in 1937 Los Angeles, a private investigator named Jake "J.J." Gittes (Nicholson) is hired to spy on Hollis Mulwray, the chief engineer for the city's water department. The woman hiring Gittes claims to be Evelyn Mulwray, Hollis' wife. Mr. Mulwray spends most of his time investigating dry riverbeds and water runoff outlets. Mr. Mulwray also has a heated argument with an elderly man on the street. Gittes finally catches Mulwray during an outing with a young blonde and photographs the pair, which becomes a scandal in the press. After the story is published, Gittes learns that the woman who hired him was not the real Evelyn Mulwray. Evelyn later visits Jake's office and threatens to sue him for defamation. (Her image of Gittes is not helped when he tells a dirty joke that she overhears.)Clues suggest a scandal in the city government: despite a serious drought and an expensive proposal to build a new dam, the Water and Power department is dumping fresh water into the ocean at night. The dam project is opposed by Mulwray himself, who cites a potential disaster because of weak geological formations in the rock where the dam is to be constructed -- Mulwray had previously supported the building of another dam that had failed due to similar geological conditions. While he addresses a public hearing on the project, that Gittes himself attends, he is ridiculed by several farmers in attendance, who need the reservoir and water the dam will create.Jake goes to Mulwray's mansion to speak to him but is only able to talk to Evelyn. While he waits for her, Mulwray's Japanese gardener works in one of the small decorative pools. He casually says "bad for the glass" in broken English, a comment that Jake dismisses. Jake notices a shiny object in the pool and tries to retrieve it, stopping when Evelyn appears. She tells him that Hollis usually takes afternoon walks at a reservoir and that she should look for him there.Gittes looks for Hollis at the reservoir but finds the police there instead, hauling his body out of the water...

This is the realization of Professor Yamanes (Takashu Shimura) greatest fear; he always believed that Godzilla was not a one of a kid creature, now he has evidence. It is known that Angilas was a clever creature with a great hatred of predatory animals, and the resumption of this hatred is what the pilots witnessedYamane then shows a series of films from Godzillas attack a few years before, and admits since the scientist who invented the oxygen destroyer is dead, they have no solutions for how to deal with the monster.Yamane then explains his theory that a second Godzilla with Angilas emerged because of a recent round of atomic tests.
