he showed many many times over the course of the show he didn't care at all about money or wealth.

not necessarily a great movie but in the blind side when sandra bullock goes to see michael's mother she asks his mother if michael was born with a different last name and his mom snap answers "yes his father's name was...."

then like 2 mins later she breaks down crying when sandra asks if she wants to see mike and says "I don't even know who his father is"

I didn't really like the new James Bond movie, but two things in particular bugged me.

James Bond is on a train, and they send a killer after him. That doesn't work, so he gets dropped off at an abandoned station in the middle of the desert. Well, if you wanted to kill the guy, why not just leave him in the middle of the desert? Why send the car to pick him up? Or, if you didn't want him dead, why send a guy to kill him?

Also, he blows up the entire enemy compound with his watch, but doesn't blow up the meeting earlier where all the bad guys are gathered in one place? (Not sure it was his watch, but whatever it was.) You could make the argument that he didn't blow up the meeting to get more information about the agency, but then he never got any more information about them.

It's almost like the whole goal of the film was to last a certain amount of time.

I like how Bond's entire plan was to take the train into the middle of nowhere then ****ing wait for something to happen. A Land Rover could have taken them directly to the destination, but they really really wanted a fight on a train just like in old school Bond movies.

The entire movie is one giant plot hole shrouded in a fine mist of Hollywood formalism after the writters managed to toss a few crumbs of science in the eyes of the unwitting audience.

Spoiler:
It's not a plot hole, he could only eat the potatoes that were left. The frozen weather killed the ability for him to replant them. So no, he couldn't grow another crop.

hates me to post it cuz its one of my favorites, but pretty big plot hole in nightcrawler.
gonna post it in spoiler tag case some of u haven't seen it.

Spoiler:
lou cuts the brake lines of bill paxton's character's van in the morning and somehow bill doesn't crash till much later that night while driving at a high rate of speed coming down laurel canyon. now even if he didn't start driving till right before the accident how did he get all the way to the crash site from his house without realizing his brakes were out?
is there a way to partially cut the lines so they bleed out slowly?

He still had potatoes to plant. He still had excrement to use as fertilizer.

Frozen weather put him back at step 1, but he still had the ability to start over.

In the book (though I don't believe the movie) this is thoroughly explained by stating that Watney had samples of Earth soil to "double" from.

Now that we mention it, this movie has a couple holes.

1. The instant Tom Cruise dies with the alpha power, time resets. The same is apparently not true of the alpha. The first time around, the alpha gets blown up, and yet there is time for the alpha blood to mix with Tom Cruise so that he can absorb the power. Looks like there's a bit of a delay for the alpha, but not for Cruise.

2. That begs the question, why the hell would the aliens send an alpha to the front lines of battle knowing that there's a chance that some alpha blood can get on a human and cause them to get the power? They've had it happen once before, with Emily Blunt, and know full well about it, by trying to trick Tom Cruise to thinking the Omega is somewhere where it is not, so why would they risk that?

3. A blood transfusion nullifies the power? How does Blunt know this? Wouldn't she have to die, and not get reset, to know that she no longer has the gift? Also, that seems a bit contrived, as getting a pint of someone else's blood wouldn't eliminate the alpha blood that you already have inside you.

That being said, solid movie
1. Never thought about that, maybe the alpha didn't died straight away or maybe it doesn't work like that for alpha.

2. Yeah that always irked me, like the amount of trouble they went through to stop Blunt, I'm assuming they lost the battle of Verdunne to stop her, then they send another Alpha right into the mix. If I were the Omega those alphas wouldn't be anywhere near battle and would have like 1000s bodyguards/drones.

3. She does say that she could "feel" that the power had gone, but yeah didn't like that explanation.

I think the writers generally did a good job of stopping plot holes given the complexity at times.

Loved the movie, one of the best from 2014 (or was it 2013).

Searching for Bobby Fischer... In the final game they played to draw with no one ever getting up in material and they were declared co champions IRL. In the movie Josh hangs his queen, then fights back and wins the other kids queen later and ends up winning. Also kind of aggravating that some dude who plays speed chess in the park is constantly questioning a grand master.

Who is the GM he's questioning? Pandolfini (Ben Kingsley) is a master, and the player Fishburne's character is based on was significantly stronger than him.

The one minor nitpick I've always had about Groundhog Day is when the piano teacher brags to Andie McDowell on Bill Murray's "last" day that "he's my student!"

Like the movie had been so great up to that point about everyone else acting as if it's their "first" day, but then this lady pretends she taught him to be a great musician in one day *and* gets him the gig playing at the big dance that night? Just keep her out of that final scene, and you got no problems.

Ground Hog day is in my Top 5 movies of all time, but I find it strange that after living the same day a billion times we didn't know about the big dance.

This is valid but I mean the Indiana Jones franchise is pretty preposterous, right? In Temple of Doom, Indy is running around with a small boy as his sidekick in his quest for fortune and glory and no one seems to question this at all, even when the kid is horribly abused and put in almost constant mortal danger.

Uhh. That movie wasn't set in 2016 or even 1988.

It was set in a time when kids weren't treated like they are now.

Yeah, I've seen that movie a few times and I think I noticed it on the second or third watch.

It's probably the only flaw in that film.

I don't see how that is a flaw, although I don't remember her getting him the gig. Just figured he rushed in and said "I never played before today and really need a lesson", she believed him and thought she was a miracle worker.

When he showed on that day, it was surely obvious that he was already an accomplished player, so for her to take credit for teaching him seems a little out there.

Of course, she could just be one of those people who takes credit for everything.

Maybe that was what they were getting at.

Yeah maybe a deleted scene where he shows up at her house and says "I used to be a really accomplished piano player but need a refresher lesson, here's a thousand dollars, and if I do well enough can you get on stage at the big dance?"...okay, fine.

But the much smoother move would have been just greasing whomever was in charge of scheduling the band for the event, and maybe doing that eight or ten times until you got it just right. Which you don't even to need to show, because we had already surmised a bunch of stuff he did.

Ain't complaining, because the movie is *almost* perfect.
