Just watched Europa Report on Netflix, thought it was a prety decent space flick. Anyways. Cue to emotional death scene and two astronauts space walking to fix something on the ship. District 9 guy Sharlto Copley and bad guy from John Wick... Wick guy losing consciousness and being put back into the ship, Copley has some weird **** on his suit, apparently he can't come back inside with it or it contaminated everyone. He proceeds to wipe his hands in it, and all over himself. Dumb. But then, to save the other guy, he pushes him into the airlock and untethers himself. With the hands he just wiped in all the goo that is toxic. Wtf

pretty ridiculous in jurassic park when they are watching the dino hatch and dr grant who's an expert (and on raptors in particular) doesnt realize right away that it's a raptor.
he's holding it and marveling at it but doesnt realize for quite awhile.

when would he have ever seen a baby raptor?

have u seen the film (not trolling serious question)?
they make the skeletal structure of the baby IDENTICAL to that of the adult, and there's no way he wouldn't recognize it.

just the day before he was lecturing a kid all about the raptors, he carries a raptor claw around in his pocket and is obv a huge raptor expert.

not recognizing that very unique skull shape seems highly unlikely.

imo.

Interstellar

So at the end of the movie, humans have figured out a way to grow crops on these new satellite planets. That means somehow they transported seeds free of blight to the new stations. Why couldn't they do this on earth, in giant greenhouses that were protected from the outside blight? Seems like they chose a very complex solution to a relatively simple problem.

lol...I see what you're saying, but he's only seen raptor fossils. I think it's within reason that since he's never seen a baby dino before, it's possible he didn't immediately recognize it.

ya it's prolly not quite as absurd as it always seemed to me.
I had never really thought about how his brain might be so overwhelmed by simply holding a real live dinosaur that it would take him a bit to recognize the species.

guess it always just irked me how SHOCKED/DISGUSTED his tone was when he finally figured it out heh. like bro you've been fondling n drooling over it this whole time, now ur gonna act shocked?

felt like any 8yr old dinosaur lover would snap be able to identify it, but more I think about it more it has to be just so overwhelming to the brain.

The real plot hole from Jurassic Park is how 25 year old Laura Dern is playing a 35 year old yet looks 45. Seriously, LAURA DERN LOOKS OLD AS **** and she's like 25 or less during filming.

Had to look it up...she was 26...huh.

wow I refuse to believe she was 26.
wtf.

I'd **** her, but contemptuously.

Yeah it says filming was Aug-Nov 1992, and Dern was born in Feb 1967, so she was 25-1/2 during filming.

She did Mask and Blue Velvet when she was a teenager. Or, she's flat out lying about her age. But both her parents are famous actors so her birth was probably easily verifiable at the time. Unbelievable.

Yeah 20 years younger than Sam Neill and you had no problem believing them as a couple. Maggie G. is right!

It's quite simple. Sam Neil is a chick flick actor because he conveys emotion. He was being Sam Neil. Forget that he is portraying some scientist that has encyclopaedic knowledge of raptors, he is a sweet sensitive man who wonders at nature. Just something for the ladies.

Because I just watched the scene - In X-Men 2, why does Stryker let "Wolverine" into the base when every mutant in the world is gonna be dead in an hour anyway?

Terminator 2. They destroy Skynet meaning the machines never rose up, meaning John Connor never sent Kyle Reece back meaning John Connor was never born, meaning annoying Edward Furlong should have winked out of existence only sadly he didn't.

Or they only thought they destroyed Skynet, but actually didn't.

well they did forget to destroy Arnold's arm that got trapped in the machine....

Bingo.

In 2000's Meet the Parents Pam and Kevin call eachother "Maverick" and "Iceman". Pam later tells Greg that Top Gun was a hit movie when her and Kevin dated.

Pam and Greg are presumably around 30 years old. Pam was engaged to Kevin, and there are pictures all over Kevin's house of him and Pam looking late 20s and looking like they dated for a while. I mean they were engaged.

So there is no feasible way they dated 14 years prior to her and Greg dating. It doesn't make a lick of sense. Maybe the film is supposed to be set in the late '80s but it can't because Denny has a Li'l Kim poster in his room and Jack has framed pictures of him and President Clinton and stuff. And Greg's green rental Taurus is clearly a late '90s model.

GREAT MOVIE. PLOT HOLE.

The real plot hole is the airplane scene towards the end. He is standing in the terminal waiting for his boarding section to be called, all by himself. When they finally call his section, he's the only one boarding. But when he tries to stuff his bag overhead, there are multiple people waiting behind him trying to get to their seats.

TL;DFR

That reminds me, I watched Elizabethtown the other night, which is obviously the exact polar opposite of great, but I never realized that, besides mega-sucking as a movie, just how offensively unrealistic this piece of garbage is.

He gets on a plane to Louisville, and seriously, not an exaggeration, he is THE ONLY PASSENGER ON THE PLANE!



But wait! He gets lost driving from the airport to Elizabethtown (like he ends up in Indiana and is soooo frustrated, he's banging the steering wheel and there's a shot from outside the car of it bouncing, that's how ****ty this crap movie is) but when he finally gets there, the WHOLE TOWN has apparently been waiting for him to show up and is out en masse to greet him and point him to the funeral home.



So he gets to the cemetery, and the dude tells him...



"This is your father's plot. And it has been in your family for 272 years."

Wait, WAT? No, it ****ing hasn't! This is Kentucky, mother ****er. Seriously, nobody who read this script took the time to subtract 272 from 2005? Or is he supposed to go back to the Shawnee Indians or some dumb ****? Who cares, **** you!

That all happens in a random six minute stretch, and none even crack the top 5 most unbelievable occurrences in this 2+ hour fart bubble of a film.

Don't even get me started on the whole reason this limp jackass becomes *genuinely* suicidal in the first place is a gigantic athletic shoe conglomerate that is clearly supposed to be Nike lost almost a *BILLION* dollars based on this one 20-something shoe designer's BIG IDEA (they never even say why they had to recall the whole line, called "Spasmodica" btw LOLOLOL nice marketing!, other than Cameron Crowe wanting to RAMP UP the STAKES on Jerry Maguire's crisis), or Susan Sarandon's speech at the wake, or Kirsten Dunst walking out of the hotel after she boned this pathetic turdface, or the ridiculous knife bike suicide plan, or

ESPECIALLY the GIGANTIC and complex scrapbook that she just put together for his ride home, replete with CDs that have a perfectly timed soundtrack to reflect his mood as he tracks down all these scavenger hunt clues which she must have had every contact she knows across the midwest meticulously position for this wet blanket imbecile to find just in time for his next fun road adventure to kick off. Seriously, it's a 42 hour, 11 minute drive (apparently he is not allowed ANY sleep or rest stops that aren't specifically included in the scrapbook CDs) and she has the songs and narration timed down TO THE SECOND!

Oh and if you were wondering whether the guy responsible for lowering the coffin at the funeral might be hilariously blind, and if the crank would malfunction and drop it straight into the grave, and people would be shocked but then laugh because that's how cool they are with grief and loss and the cycle of humanity?



My GOD, this movie. I haven't seen We Bought a Zoo and I vow not to see Aloha just based on that ****ty trailer, but for this movie alone, Cameron Crowe needs to be put in the filmmaker penalty box forever. He's ONLY allowed to consult on soundtracks from now on. No pen to paper, no coming on set, ONLY "Which Traffic song do you think would work best over this montage?" That's it!

Would be tough to get lost from the airport and end up in Indiana

He missed an EXIT!

in major league when they are playing the yankees in the one game playoff the owner is still rooting for them to lose. it makes no sense as they have already exceeded the minimum attendance necessary to not be able to relocate so at that point she has no reason to want them to lose and in fact she should want them to win as that will increase the value of the team the most.

and yes major league is a great film.
