Miscellaneous questions

Dear teachers, I've got a couple more.

1. movies/theaters: What do you call movies that are not brand new but recycled to play at cheaper theaters few months later after their premier? Is there a name? And what do you call this type of theaters?

2. "one-liner statement". Sorry for lack of context, I don't have an example at hand. But what does it mean? What's the connatotive message? Is it a negative statement?

3. "I am spoken for?" Again, sorry for lack of example. Emotion: sad

4. Enrage: to make some angry. Endanger: to put someone in a dangerous position/situation. Is there a word that means "to make someone become "bitter"?

Thanks in advance

Thnak you very much, RayH. #4 answer took me by surpise. I'd tried to look up "enbitter" by ways of inductive logic and, of course, came back empty-handed. (That would've been too easy--but English is anything but easy) But "embitter" actually exists!

Thanks again for the answers.

Google can be of considerable help in cases like this. Just enter your best guess at the spelling in a standard Google search and, more often than not, you will get a question at the top of the results asking "Did you mean..."

You didn't know the general principle that prefixes which end in N change the N to M before roots that begin with B, P, and M.

con
confront, consent, convene
BUT: compare, combine, communicate
