In office space when Ron Livingston character tells Aniston character lumberg is her unholy pig of a boss she doesn't question how a guy who moved to Atlanta a year ago could be his boss.

Nope.

1. They're in an argument and in the heat of the moment emotion is overriding logic.
2. In corporations it's not that uncommon for your boss to be in another location.

Don't agree. First of all JA's character is a waitress who sees her own boss every second of every day and clearly knows very little about corporate America. Second, admittedly it's been a long time since I've seen the movie but I seem to remember that by that point RL's character and JA's character were awfully close and therefore JA's character would know he sees his boss every day. Third, RL's character was upset but JA's was just confused. As soon as the "He's my unholy pig of a boss" line was uttered, JA's character's natural reaction would have been to say, "Ron Lumberg is your boss?!?!?"

I still say it's a plot hole.

it's been awhile since I've seen the film but I have seen it multiple times and I could have sworn he never said he was his boss while she was in the car (or said anything else that would've tipped her off to the obv misunderstanding).

are we sure he said that line to her in the car?

Yes. After he first made his post I googled the movie transcript.

Why would she have to know he moved to Atlanta after they broke up?

man my memory sucks.
I really felt like I remembered that scene playing out in such a way as I kept hoping one of them would say something to make them realize it was a mix up and they'd just laugh about it and move on rather than have the cliché break up scene.

fwiw I absolutely love office space and have seen it multiple times which makes my total false memory of the scene even more ridic.

My question is this. How come he didn't just open the door when he was breaking out, instead of rolling thru the furnace?
There were guards?

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

When Peter tells Rachel that he hooked up with his ex-gf, she tells him not to call, write, or contact her anymore. He confirms that he complied with that request later when she's backstage after his Dracula puppet musical. However, somehow she got a flier for the musical. Nobody else would've sent her that flier except him.

I don't want to live in a world where forgetting sarah marshall is considered a great movie.

russell brand was the only great part of that movie.

Surely she thought it was coke if she wanted to carry on with the party and nott mong out and nod off for the next few hours, and any idiot can tell the difference bettween coke and Heroin. So why would a coke addict sniff Heroin by mistake it just seems impossible to me

maybe im being a nit but it seems a bit silly

I know I'm way late to this party but she was def supposed to have mistaken the H for blow.

obv it's absurd as there is no way anyone who has done either drug could ever confuse them but that was 100% what was supposed to have happened.

in copland joey (peter berg) is fighting with cheese from the wire.
the dude has already cut up his partner n beaten the **** out of joey n he jumps on him from behind before trying to hit him with a peice of wood lying nearby.

he misses n dude throws him off the roof.

always found it hilarious that joey didn't just shoot him or even use his baton on him.
just no chance a cop doesn't blow his brains out in that situation.

there isn't a more clear cut in fear for your life self-defense situation possible.

Hateful 8. Kurt Russell and Samuel Jackson are both professional bounty hunters. Tim Roth and Michael Madsen and the Mexican all have huge prices on their heads but they don't recognize them.

well it's possible they weren't federal fugitives but rather wanted by state authorities which could explain their lack of familiarity.

not like they had access to the internet that far out in the boonies, so always possible they hadn't seen the warrants/posters for them yet.

Hateful Eight

I do not consider this a great movie, but whatever, we broke the seal on this movie so I'll add this in.

The way Samuel L Jackson knows that Bob is lying is because Minnie hates Mexicans. Yet during the flashback scene, when Bob enters the haberdashery, Minnie doesn't seem bothered one bit by him. According to SLJ, dogs are allowed in the haberdashery, but still no Mexicans are allowed, so that to me is a plot hole.

not sure if this really counts but TAOJJBTCRF is truly a great film n in the beginning they make a point of saying that jesse had ocular granulation which caused him to blink more than usual.

however brad pitt not only doesn't blink more than usual he almost seems to blink less than usual.

n ya I know that's probably a huge nitpick.

This thread subject needs to be changed to "Nitty nits gonna nit" the gang was in the haberdashery for all of 5 minutes before everyone got smoked.

I have been lurking on 2 plus 2 since 4/15/2011.

I would have made an account sooner, but I didn't want to join a group that would have me as a member (sorry Groucho).

This is for DrewOnTilt:

THE BLUES BROTHERS

The brothers visit the Roman Catholic orphanage where they were raised, and learn from Sister Mary Stigmata that it will be closed unless $5,000 in property taxes is collected. During a sermon by the Reverend Cleophus James at the Triple Rock Baptist church, Jake has an epiphany: They can re-form the Blues Brothers Band, which broke up while Jake was in prison, and raise the money to pay the tax bill.

The overriding plot premise was unrealistic: religious groups and other not-for-profit organizations are typically exempt from federal or state taxes; although a legislative proposal to tax such property was under consideration in Illinois at the time.

I copied this from WIKEPEDIA because I don't write so good.

Maybe Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) just took the liberty of bull****ting us

I thought they played bob off as someone who wasn't Mexican in the flash back.

Star Wars, when the droids escape in the escape pod the crew says there goes another one. Maybe other people tried to escape and we're shot down they didn't show.

Lukes uncle is asking C3PO if he is a protocol droid, instead of asking what he needsays from a droid.

Small nits but my 3 year old just became a fan and I have watched it everyday for 2 weeks.

I just re-watched Hannah & Her Sisters the other night on TCM and caught a minor plot hole. Toward the end of the film, Woody Allen is walking past a book store and notices Dianne Wiest inside. Woody goes inside and says something to the effect of I don't know if you remember me, but we went out a year ago and it was the worst night of my life. Dianne Wiest then chuckles and says I remember.

The problem with this scene is that their previous date was set up by Hannah (Dianne Wiest's sister and Woody's ex-wife); therefore, Woody & Dianne had been brother and sister-in-law for years prior to their one disasterous date together. Of course she would have remembered him.

Now I suppose that Woody's line could have been facetious, but I didn't get that impression at all.

Woody is joking about remembering one another. Granted, the way it's played, it is confusing.
