Spinning off from the star wars thread...

LOTR i was disappointed that legolas and gimli were reduced to comedy sidekicks rather than some legendary fighters they were meant to be.

Pretty much any car film. F&F springs to mind.

They way they are racing flat out and then suddenly find another gear.

Vanilla Sky.

Was pretty insulted that at the end they had to walk you through what had happened just in case you were too thick to understand it.

The Transporter. Just terrible guff if you ask me, typically wooden acting from Jason Statham. The 2nd one was horrific as well, so avoided the third one.

Who cares! The films have been made so there is nothing you can do about it. Get out the house and get over it. Pointless thread.

Gone in 60 Seconds (the nick cage one) when they steal the porsche at the start from the showroom. They key number was in 5 figures (normally only 3), was actually in the right place on the board, the car started first turn (bound to of had a flat battery), it also had fuel in it.

Independence day, the whole thing was just a bit far fetched y'know.

Especially that the 'advanced aline civilisation' only had small ships whose principle weapons were line of sight targetted.

I just couldn't suspend my disbelief at that point.

Seriously?

Of all the unbelievable-ness in that film, notably

  • Breaking into a warehouse with millions of dollars-worth of Ferraris in it by simply bridging a wire.
  • Launching a Mustang 150 feet over a bridge and it landing in one piece
  • The coincidence of 100 top-end cars including an XJ220 and several classics all being within an area of max 20 miles of one another thereby being easy to nick and move.
You pick up on the fact that the Porsche they steal had a working battery and petrol in it? Is it not conceivable that it just arrived that day and had delivery fuel in it?

Star Wars and its ilk - Great battles between starships just like 18th century sea battles. But then just shifting some small asteroids into the path of near-light speed ships doesn't have quite the same visual impact, does it?

(Actually, virtually anything with technology in it, it's always mis-represented under 'artistic licence')

You never got to the uploading a virus via mac to kill the mothership then?
I mean, how did they even connect into the network? (shoddy Alien security?) and were the Aliens running windows?

The Departed - by the end, so many people were getting shot in the head that me and Mrstheboy were openly laughing at it.

Oh the irony!

In greater Los Angeles, in fact the north western part, you could probably get all those cars in a 10 mile circle, let alone 20... smile

I once drove past the house of a guy and I stopped as I saw two Ferraris in his driveway. As I crawled on, there was not two, but six - one of every one I could think of from the last 10 -15 years. And a Bentley for good measure. smile

I think I have a pic somewhere...

The attacks on the Alien base ships with missiles. We do possess the technology to carpet-bomb the bcensoreds from 20,000 feet.
