Why is « Il » referring to Tom Cruse? Why isn’t it referring to the film that Julie is watching ?

Would be be incorrect to say " j’ai (tu,il,elle,etc) une fièvre " ? As in English "I have a fever" as Cécile notes “j’ai une bronchite" or is it alway "j’ai de la… (I have fever)" 

This lesson doesn’t explain why sont isn’t necessary in the sentence: Ils brûlent tous. They ARE burning all the books. I got this wrong with no explanation as to why. Help? Thanks. 

Bonjour Madame, 

A sentence from the lesson states -  

Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus. 

Could “aux yeux bleus” be replaced with “y” as and be correct -

Nous nous l’y imaginons blonde. ? 

Merci beaucoup !

This example makes sense, as we can replace Lucie et moi with nous:

Lucie et moi allons au cinéma tous les mercredis.

However, in everyday spoken French, most people use on for the first person plural as the conjugation is easier (eg: On va au cinéma), where the conjugation takes the form of the third person singular. Given this, can we also use the third person singular conjugation here? That is:

Lucie et moi va au cinéma tous les mercredis.

I have it in my notes that “après que” uses the indicative tense, so is there a reason why the subjunctive is used in this occasion ?

Just need a little clarification. Is the verb for "to worry" just "inquieter" or is it reflexive? (s'inquieter) If it is reflexive, how would that change the phrase, "I am a little worried" in French?
