Frozen:

Parents find out that their daughters have what they consider a physical handicap and to deal with it they lock them away and isolate them for their entire childhoods.

Fast forward to when they grow up and one sister tries to reestablish a relationship with her older sister and the older sister subsequently decides that royalty isn't for her and runs away from a life of luxury and royalty, and her only remaining family.

Here's where I get pissed: little sister goes after big sister to convince her to return to her duty and big sister tries, numerous times mind you, to kill her.

Big decides, after the third try and most successful attempt, to murder her sister, that she wants the responsibility of ruling a kingdom and the people in the kingdom are cool with it and willing to overlook the numerous counts of attempted murder and curses of an eternal winter.

Elsa may be the second most selfish ***** in human history, behind Jenny from Forest Gump
Elsa was royally effed up by her parents. I can't even imagine the amount of social anxiety disorders that girl had since she'd been locked in a room for her entire childhood. So it's not surprising that she doesn't know how to handle any situation effectively.

I think the parents are the real villains in that whole thing. Poor Anna though, sweet girl trying to be nice to everyone and getting sheet on at every turn, but she still finds a way to forgive her sister's murder attempts.

Peewee's Big Adventure. Peewee has that elaborate contraption that makes his breakfast. He gets this HUGE breakfast made, and then leaves before eating anything.

Home Alone. Kevin sets out his traps for the Wet Bandits. Then makes his macaroni and cheese dinner, says a blessing, and the clock dings. He doesn't eat anything.

I'm hungry.

Dark Knight Rises - the ENTIRE police department goes underground and is trapped by Bane. Cops are trapped for about 6 months underneath the city living in the sewers. They walk out clean shaven and in good health... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?!?!

They were given supplies during the six months. Scissors and razors could have been provided.

Double sided tape. After all he was running a brand new library and tax services inside the prison. Plus he had access to the regular offices.

One of the wardens scams was getting kick backs from Staples.

Did nobody notice the prison was dumping raw sewage into a creek?

It is explained in the books pretty well. I thought the same until reading the source material.

88 miles a ****ing hour. That's not even that FAST.


It was 33 miles an hour over the speed limit in 1985.
I don't think anyone ever claimed that it was supposed to be really fast. It was just the speed that activated the time machine.

88 just happened to be the magic number to get the flux capacitor to activate. But you look at 88 sideways it's double infinity.

In any movie involving a chase, why do they continue to go in a straight line rather than turn left/right or make a u-turn?

Lost in Translation: I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of more interesting things in Tokyo you two could be doing than sitting around having multiple, pretty boring conversations. As a matter of fact, at any given moment during their boring conversations there are likely many things happening in Tokyo that this movie could have instead been about. A heist, a murder, a business deal, a relationship that is actually interesting, literally anything. Give us something.

Similarly, going back to Signs: they make a last supper that was freaking awesome - spaghetti, french toast, mashed potatoes, chicken teriyaki, cheeseburgers with extra bacon - and they never ate it. Mel Gibson has a freak out, they all cry and hug, and then alien chatter shows up on the baby monitors so they haul ass down to the cellar. No way that took that elaborate dinner down there with them. Kills me every time.

I don't remember the Eagles very well in the books. Did they rescue them the same way as in the movie? It's been 15 years since I read them.

Regardless, you can't expect people to check source material when leaving a plot hole of that magnitude. You need to address it.

Basically any scifi movie with screens/monitors/interfaces based on current technology at time it was filmed.
FIFY.

Those are some of the dumbest UIs, and why on Earth must they have those ticking, whizzing, churning sounds?

I can't think of many but Mr. Robot (sure not a movie) might be the only one to get it right.
Are you talking about that noise -- I don't even know how to describe it -- that happens when text appears on a computer screen? I HATE that!


The sound that always bother me the most is the click clack every time a gun is raised, as if a round is being chambered but the gun only moves. Annoying and

Not a movie, but in Itchy and Scratchy episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

But you know what did exist? Our need to consume oxygen. No way in hell that **** pipe contained enough oxygen-rich air for him to respire all the way to that damn creek. He would have passed out within a few minutes and died a few minutes later. Always bothered me...

He was a very powerful sith lord.

They underestimated him because he's old and they've probably never fought a sith lord before. Actually, have they fought any sith before? or even anyone with a lightsaber?

They were probably masters in the force and such (meditating, thinking, bullying non-force users). They probably weren't top notch fighters because all their fights have been easy up until then.

any movie were people falling disregard the laws of physics when falling.

I can believe scenes like point break where brodie is sky diving laying flat using wind resistance to slow him down and Johnny Utah diving to get to him.

but many other movies (Spiderman with Toby, Batso man Forever) have two people falling vertically and one falls faster than the other.

Similarly, when two cars in a chase are side-by-side........why does no one ever think to brake? Seems an easy way to get away from whoever's chasing you.

The thing that bothered me was the pressure when he busted the hole in the sewer pipe, but when he's crawling through it it's barely a trickle.

Forest Gump:

Jenny always loved Forrest but thought that she wasn't good enough him because of the trauma she suffered as a young girl. She looked for "herself" in all of the wrong places until she finally got sick of her life and sick of herself. Even after she visited Forrest and then left him she knew that she had to figure life out by herself because if she would've stayed Forrest would've spoiled her and she would've never figured out was her life was all about. Once she had Little Forrest her life got on the rails and she figure it all out. And once she figure life out she realized that she needed to reach out to her one true love.

Greatest love story of all time.

The only problem I have with one of my all-time favorites, Die Hard, is when John McClain is evading terrorists by climbing into the elevator shaft. He has the machine gun propped against the opening and is hanging on by the strap, which of course is slipping holding this ~200 lb man. Right as he is about to get his hands on the opening across the shaft, the strap gives way and he plummets. ~200 lb just started falling, and this guy is able to grab hold of the lip of an opening a few feet down. No broken arms. No separate shoulders. No fingers ripped off. Then he just crawls into the shaft, flicks on his lighter, and says with dripping sarcasm, "Come out to the coast, have some laughs"

Yeah, right.

In reality that guy falls 30+ stories down and splats at the bottom, just like a grape. Then when Hans Gruber and Company blow the roof, they are able to simply disappear to a beach and earn 20% (or whatever the number was)
