On the red carpet for "Gravity," MTV News' Josh Horowitz asked Sandra Bullock to once and for all settle the greatest mystery in movie history.

"Well, think of a bidet, right?" said Bullock. "There's several processes. You have number one, you have number two, and then the cleanup."

But it doesn't stop there. Turns out the seashells are also musical instruments. "You can use them as little maracas as well," continued Bullock, giving an example of the sort of beat you can drop with the future's answer to toilet paper. "See, it's a musical instrument, and it's a hygiene element!"

Surprised that this mystery which has plagued film criticism for two decades was so easily solved, Horowitz got seriously burned by Bullock.

"It was obvious," Bullock joked. "It was obvious to me when I read it. I thought you were an intelligent man, but obviously not."

You guys are gonna laugh, but...

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

At the time the hard speed limit in America was 55. Doc Brown didn't design it so that you had to go super fast, he set the speed at 88 to make it an unusually fast speed for the time. You aren't going to cruise down the highway in the mid 1980s and accidentally travel backwards 35 years.

Why does Buzz Lightyear, who thinks he's a real space ranger, play possum around humans?

How did all the flyers for hookers get into the vault in Oceans 11?

In The Last Crusade, when Indy falls after stepping on the wrong letter, he pulls himself up while hanging on other wrong letters. Why did those not give way?

---

The hooker flyers were the gear in the bags. They swapped the money for the hooker flyers while they were in there.

Crummy editing.

Example - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, after Indiana Jones and Marcus Brody have met Elsa Schneider and are heading over to the building where Henry Jones Sr disappeared, Brody says something like "that looks like a converted church".

The very next scene, same characters are in the building, and Schneider says "in this case it's the literal truth, it was once a church" - not exact dialogue but this is basically what she said.

In real life, she would have made that statement right after Brody made the observation, while they were still in the plaza outside the church.

You must not have seen my reply. The SWAT team didn't arrive until after the bags full of flyers left in the remote controlled van. Watch the movie again.

Well he did lose three (additional) limbs and require the use of a respirator shortly after that. That might temper your skills a bit.

Horton Hears a Who

The speck is supposed to be on a clover. That's no clover.

And I am glad someone brought up Varsity Blues. That has always pissed me off.

Hook: The baby stroller rolling away and the baby being alone, and then a friggin fairy stole him! Were they just bad parents or were they looking and didn't find him soon enough? They never know what happened to him?

And they bring their own bags full of flyers down to the safe

Well, if it makes you feel better to say they brought bags full of hooker flyers in, then go ahead. But the fact remains that the van full of flyers (the one that was remote controlled. The one that was tailed by Terry Benedict's goons. The one that exploded at McCarran airport) left the casino prior to the SWAT team's arrival.

Ocean's Eleven is one of my all time favorite movies. The fact that this plot hole exists doesn't really change that. But they did make a mistake. There's no getting around it.

Monty Python - Holy Grail - how does the killer rabbit fly??? Anyone seen a flying rabbit before???

Every time a car explodes when falling off a cliff or the gas tank getting shot at.

every time they rack a shotgun to show they are serious now and no shell or spent shell goes flying!?! So they are just now putting a round in the chamber?

Pacific Rim.

The giant robots spend 95% of their time punching the giant aliens, but at no point in the entire movie does a punch accomplish anything at all. Effective weapons for killing kaiju exist. The hand laser cannon on the mech toward the beginning is a 1 shot kill. Put about 10 of those on each robot. Or, wait until they get to shore, then truck in a cannon. There are other ways to kill the kaiju of course. But punching is not one of them.

---

Let's borrow a phrase from another science fiction monster movie, "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."
For the money they spent on Jaegers, humanity could have built a handful of space based missile or laser systems, parked them over known spawning areas, and just zapped them as they came through.

Have t read the whole thread, but pretty much everything that happened in Ocean's twelve.

Ok, you can disguise Julia Roberts as Julia Roberts and it works great, but nobody recognized Cloone, Pitt or Matt Damon?

Not Oceans related, but every time they rack a shotgun to show they are serious now and no shell or spent shell goes flying!?! So they are just now putting a round in the chamber?

I know this isn't the only post mentioning the whole gun cocking thing in movies (just the most recent)....

At least there was one movie to address this...****ing awesome movie by the way for those who never saw it:
