[Sheets Tabuer]

Gremlins..

It's always after midnight.

The micro wave emitter boils my piss in Batman.

[thebraketester]

Paddington. Talking bear? Come on.........

[marcosgt]

Dawn of the Dead - They're Dead...

M.

[AndStilliRise]

Terminator 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Seriously you go back in time to change the future?!

[Morningside]

Bond. Just shoot him.

Matrix - The whole premise is that they use the electricity generated by humans to power themselves. The problem is you have to feed humans, and in doing so you will lose energy in that process in the generation of the food and feeding them, if they just put their energy into converting the fuel for humans into fuel for them they'd have a more efficient way of generating power by removing a step in the process.

Fantastic beasts - What happened to any witness who were inside and didn't get rained on?

Terminator - Michael Bein is John Connor's dad, but he went back in time to save Sarah Connor for the time travelling terminator. So if the Terminator hadn't gone back in time, Kyle would never have gone back to protect her, and John would never have been born. Did skynet really not know who Johns dad was?

Independence day - Alien computer systems are perfectly compatible with Mac OS

The Star Wars series,

Faster than light travel, but no e-mail? Tearing around the galaxy to deliver a 20 second .mp4 and some CAD files.

There was apparently a scene that explained this but it was cut for being too geeky.

Text to speech is a much easier problem than speech to text. How can R2-D2 understand speech but not speak? He already has a speaker that can produce beeps.

You're saying Jobs was a pathfinder sent in advance to prepare the way for them? That's a whole prequel film right there

[Ste1987]

Toy Story - Why does Buzz Lightyear freeze if he thinks he's a real spaceman?

Badum-tish.

Anything computer-related in films or on TV is always deeply irritating to anyone that even has minor involvement with IT, and it gets even worse when it's a few years old. They still seem to make stuff that shows screen output at the equivalent of 110 baud, and computers that beep when they display text.

And, is it "The Transporter" where the baddies helpfully only fight the hero one at a time, instead of actually ganging up on him?
