I suppose this can be explained away by the fact that he admitted that he had been dying to tell Martin what was up.
Just watched the ending a couple days ago and agree with this 100 percent.

When I first saw movie I thought it was stupid that this genius slipped that info away but now am pretty sure he just couldnt stand for someone(Marty is obvious best choice) not to know how smart he was.

he 100% wanted martin to figure it out.
attorney client privilege and double jeopardy means he wasn't risking anything and he wanted martin to realize he was smarter esp given how huge martin's ego was.

Not just the ending, but the whole of Mama Mia 2 doesn’t make sense as it contradicts large parts of the original.

Yes, I know both are fluffy rom-coms, but they are on my mind as the wife and I saw it on tv very recently.

Spoiler:
In the first, Donna is portrayed as being man crazy when younger with no interest in the same sex. In the second, she is now also bisexual having at least kissed a female teacher.

In the first, Donna was said to have gone home after getting pregnant and her mother disowned her. In the second, she never goes home.

In the second, Cher portrays Donna’s mother and was said to have been a Vegas singer for many years. Such a woman would never have kicked her daughter out for getting pregnant.

There are other plot points of the second that contradict the first, but you get the idea.

Jake Taylor gives the signal for the bunt & run play, but on the next pitch The Duke dusts him and Willie Mays Hayes doesn't take off for third

Grease- They get into a car and fly away. It came out of absolutely nowhere, and at no point was this explained in any way.

Mighty Ducks 2- The coach and the kid high five in slow motion, and the high five explodes into fireworks. wat.

Mighty Ducks 1

District 5/Ducks sneak into the playoffs as the #8 seed of 8 finalists in a straight knockout bracket, winning two games before facing the #1 seed Hawks in the final.

How on earth was 8v1 not a first round matchup?

All this talk about problems with mighty ducks could go on for weeks. You guys have barely touched the tip of the iceberg. I distinctly remember my head blowing up when they chose Iceland as the villain asking many, many other issues

Do musicals really count? I mean, they publicly burst into song throughout the film and that also is never explained in any way.

I always did find it odd that it was a totally different car, though. I know that Greased Lightning was almost destroyed in the race, but the ending car is just so different-- bright red with the fancy hood design.

The concept of not alienating a potential sales market isn't new (its the same reason why the "terrorists" have changed over the last 40 years across ethnicity's and religious groups) but the main point is correct.

D3 is the worst and that is saying something.

Still love the franchise tho. 8 year old me was an idiot.

grunching but the first thing I thought when reading the OP was The Shining, although that could be more 'open to interpretation' than 'categorically doesn't make sense'.

It is showing that all a woman has to do to get her fantasy ending is to become a slut.

The Usual Suspects

Spoiler:
How is Keyser Soze's escape plan from the boat/docks "get captured by the police and make up a story during interrogation." Why didn't he take the 90 million dollars and leave? I realize he didn't have the keys to the van but why didn't he have alternate transportation planned?

trading places: why on earth do the duke brothers only have one guy working the floor on the biggest day of trading in their lives?


they're going all in to corner the market with stolen crop reports but don't think it might be worth it to have a few more ppl on the floor trading?

I would think it's very likely given he is a shower curtain ring salesman.

The ending car is the same one as the fantasy car during the dance number in the garage.

Possibly. It could also just be that since his wife died, he doesn't have any incentive to "go home," so he's just kind of lost in life. Staying on the road is easier emotionally than returning to any empty life.

You can't just send more people to the exchange floor. You have to have a membership. So the Dukes only had one membership and could only send one employee. If they wanted other people to trade for them, they would have had to use employees of other firms. Don't think they would want to trust another firm to keep their plan secret.

The actual problem with the ending is that Murphy and Akroyd should not have been able to get on the floor to trade on their own behalf. I guess they could have been trading for another firm on its exchange membership, but they didn't ever indicate that (also don't think it's very easy to let someone borrow your membership).

Eraser

They catch the bad guys doing bad guy things, day is saved. Next scene, everyone is exiting the courthouse (I think) and the talk is that the bad guys will be convicted because Vanessa Williams is going to testify against them. Great!

Vanessa Williams and Arnold Schwarzenegger get into a van all happy. The van blows up, but it was staged by Arnold. Camera pans down to show him closing a grate in the ground. A couple issues here: Arnold staged the explosion. Why the **** wouldn't he wait until he and Williams were completely safe underground to trigger it? He was still closing the grate! Also, there were lots of innocent bystanders around. Someone could've gotten hurt.

Then the bad guys are in a limo, talking about how they are going to do bad guy stuff again now that Williams is dead. Basically, the whole thing looks like a scheme to get them on tape talking about bad stuff. But no, the driver, a buddy of Arnold's, stops the limo on the train tracks and locks the doors just as a train is coming (he gets out). The train destroys the limo and the bad guys are dead, complete with Arnold catch phrase.

So Arnold straight-up murdered these dudes rather than getting them put behind bars.


Bonus:

The rail gun supposedly fires "close to the speed of light," yet Arnold dodged tons of shots.

I agree! The first one was really a good one. They should have left it at that.
