In Jaws, when Brody attempts to call for help on the radio, what posessed Quint to destroy it with the baseball bat????

He'd gone 'Ahab' at that point. He'd become obsessed with catching the shark and didn't want anyone or anything interfering with it.

That Twilight vampire was supposedly over a 100 years old, yet no-one freaks out over that he is dating a 16 year old...

In 'Back to the future 2' old Biff from 2015 used the Deloreon to go back to 1955 an give the sports almanac to his younger self while Doc & Marty were busy.

How did he get the Deloreon back to 2015 though so that Doc & Marty could go back to 1985 and see that Biff was rich and the timeline had been changed?!?

If he gave the almanac to himself in 1955 then went to return the Deloreon to 2015, it woulda been the 2015 of the new timeline he'd just created!

THIS KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT.

once you start thinking about the multiple delorean theory it'll melt your brain. think about it, there are upwards of 4 deloreans in the same place at one time throughout the trilogy, in 1955 theres the original one Marty travels back in, the one from part 2 where biff goes back, the one that Marty uses to travel back to part 1 in part 2 to get the almanac and the one buried in the cave since 1885. but this goes against the idea that in time travel the thing you use to perform time travel cant be in mutiple places at one.

dont get me started on Primer, that film could cause you to go schizo if you think about it, taking a time machine back in time inside a time machine? my brainnnn!

How they got all the hooker flyers down into the vault in Oceans 11

The "Swat" team consisting of the criminals brought them in in their bags and swapped the for the real money, the video feed was of another replica vault built in a warehouse earlier in the movie.

a bigger goof would be how does Clooney get back out of the vault to the room he was supposed to be in, given that the security system goes back on once himself and Damon get in there, its an elevator shaft full of laser beams

It's called IronMAN. If you wanted to see ironing you should have gone to IronWOMAN.

Why did Superman returns fail at the box office, I thought it was the best film I seen that year.

newballsplease · 25-10-2011 01:11PM

How did nobody see that Clarke Kent was Superman? Removing his glasses and a bit of gel in the hair fooled everyone!

It's a little known fact that in giggity scenes,the actress has just eaten a meal of pickled eggs,baked beans and garlic.

If the breath doesn't put him off the farting will.

that and the fact that the entire crew are staring at his equipment.

I don't know, stick me in a bed with a naked Kate Winslett and i don't care if she's had dog sh1t for breakfast and my ma is watching, she's gonna get it!

It grossed almost $400m worldwide. Hardly a bomb. I'd say unenthusiastic word of mouth and a lack of "I gotta see this again!" prevented it grossing more.

Raiders of the Lost Ark:
Indy apparently survives being submerged and holding onto the top of a submarine for a trip across the Mediterranean!

Star Trek Generations:
Picard can leave the Nexus at any point in time or space to stop the evil plan of Malcolm McDowell. Yet instead of going back to before all of the events of the film which lead to multiple deaths and stopping him before all of that happened, he goes back to the latest possible moment to stop him!

Star Trek First Contact:
Thanks to Mr. Plinkett for pointing this out. On the Enterprise, there's a room that can only be accessed by crawling through a tiny crawlspace and contains a window and a control panel to cover and uncover it. What's the point of it?
Skip to 5.00:

Jurassic Park: Spoiler if you somehow haven't seen it: At the end, how did no-one hear the giant dinosaur that walked up right behind them?

Why didn't Han shoot first?...I mean if you watch it he has plenty of time to do so. :pac:

Han did shoot first.
No wait, Greedo shot first.
No actually, they shot at the same time.
I can't remember who won their latest rematch on BluRay and frankly I don't care.

I guess it was just an excuse to try out his cat like reflexes.

But it cost 216 million to make and probably 100 to advertise and distribute it flopped alright.

Look at a Serbian Film and the human centipede won't have any effect on you anymore.

Just read an online synopsis of A Serbian Film and I am basically traumatised.

The King of Moo · 25-10-2011 01:52PM

Source Code:

At the end, Jake Gylenhall walks off into his new life with Michelle Monaghan in the other reality.
Yet he's inhabiting the body of her boyfriend. Won't it be horrible for him always having to pretend to be him, especially in front of his family?
And what happens to the "soul" of her boyfriend in this reality? Is he dead so Gylenhall can inhabit his body?
I think the ending is meant to be like that: apparently simple and happy but really more complicated and disturbing.

Terminator Salvation: Spoilers for this and the original film:

Skynet kidnaps the young Kyle Reese to use him as bait to lure John Connor, knowing they're father and son. How does Skynet know Reese is his father, and why not just kill him to prevent him fathering Connor?
Having Reese at its mercy is a much better situation for them in terms of preventing Connor being born than sending the terminator back to kill Sarah Connor, but Skynet doesn't take advantage of it.
And of course there's the ridiculousness of the impromptu heart transplant in the middle of the desert with two perfectly compatible patients.

Films along the vein of poltergeist etc, if a house tells me to leave and starts throwing things at me. I leave, film over.

That's what I hate about Paranormal Activity. Early on, the idiot boyfriend says they should just go, but the girlfriend says there's no point as the demon will just follow them.
But surely your instinct would override logic and you'd just want to get out of the house.
And wouldn't it be better to be haunted in a nice hotel or surrounded by lots of family and friends?

I've never used a machine gun, but even though they can shoot out a lot of bullets in just a few seconds, it still seems to be near impossible to actually hit someone even when they are only 20 feet away

How about the 20 bad guys with machine guns cannot hit the hero but the one hero kills 3 or 4 with every burst?

Shivers26 · 25-10-2011 02:00PM

I could never understand in The Human Centipede, that stupid bint who ends up in the middle has the opportunity to escape and plenty of time to do so but decides to try and rescue her unconscious mate.

Run and get the police and let them save her! Obviously your heroics did her no good.

Stupidest movie ever.

how come as slow and steady michael myers walks, no matter how fast his victim runs away he always always gets to them? :rolleyes: ive thought this for ages, yes im horror movie geek

In Never Let Me Go, why not just go on the run with each other? What was stopping them exactly?

Hmm, I'm not sure about that one.

Let's label them for the sake of argument:
Delorean A: One from first film
Delorean B: One Old Biff uses
Delorean C: One Marty uses to retrieve almanac
Delorean

In cave from 1885

Fair enough, A, B, and C would be in 1955 at the same time, but D is a different case. It is only in the cave the instant that the Doc gets struck by lightning. It wasn't present in the cave before that, because the Doc wasn't in 1885 before that. So, D enters the timeline the instant C exits it.

Lot of obsessions with Back to the Future!!!!

Oceans 12

If they had what they wanted at the start of the movie why the f*ck did they make up sit through and hour and a half of crap?
