I like how the demise of a promising prospect in a sport that nobody watches turned into a term for failure - "Munsoned" - that somehow became so widespread that it was adopted even in Amish country.

Kingpin might be the best comedy of all time.

And Roy wasn't going to try alternatives after losing his hand because he was wallowing in misery.

I agree that The Departed has a disappointing ending that’s totally out of sync with the rest of the movie. But When talking about “not making sense at all” you can always argue that career criminals might just be much closer to totally going off the rails than average Joe.

Yeah, I was going to say that Infernal Affairs did it better.

The ending of Interstellar seemed pretty dumb to me. So did Contact, actually. Both were gripping as all get out leading up to the climaxes and then...wait, what?

Karate Kid. I don't understand why Daniel son asks "Live or die??". Like he even has the skill set to kill the guy, and is that standard practice in karate tournaments?

He damn sure could have killed the guy and it was not a tournament

Gretchen Mol turning down Matt Damon's character was similar.

Otoh, is there a less sexy name than Gretchen Mol?

I'm not asking you Dom, that's right in your demo.

I've only known one Gretchen in my life. Objectively not sexy.

Therefore, when Marty and Jennifer arrive in the future, they'll encounter a world in which the two of them simply disappeared in 1985.

They won't be in a world where they got married, had kids, etc. There won't be an older Marty and Jennifer because they vanished without a trace in 1985.

Same ending.

Doc could have just come back and said "Hey Marty. Make a note in your diary that you should make sure your son stays at home of the following date otherwise he'll get arrested. Have a good day."

Or at least not make him rush. I mean Doc says he has to do it quickly? Why? Have a few days/months off, plan it out and then go do it. There's no rush.

Well everyone is crazy somehow but watch the ending again and see if you still cant tell what is going on.

One thing that is often missed is at 40 seconds Leo can tell that Bruce Banner has given the Mandarin a sign because he is looking right at the doctor and Leo knows what is coming.
