The scene in Blade: Trinity where the movie stops so that Jessica Beil can load up her ipod with mp3s from her Mac laptop. The little quip from Ryan Reynolds to the effect of "Yeah, she likes to listen to mp3s while she's slaying vampires" seals the deal.

When I was watching Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, and someone told me was that wasn't Bruce Willis.

Almost every movie requires a "suspension of beliefs" in order to sit past the opening credits.

It's been that way since the first movies were made.

Bruce Willis movies take it a bit farther than most...you have to somehow accept that Bruce is a good actor...when reality tells you he's a hack.

He didnt know until he fought him for several minutes. Remember he tried to kill Luke from a TIE fighter.

Btw, Vader needs to fire his entire weapon engineering team. Their targeting system sucks. How the hell can you miss anything with that technology - every shot with laser should connect.

Now, would you have remembered the laptop's brand if it wasn't a Mac? No, you wouldn't because all other brands are shit, and no one remembers shit. Everyone knows this.

That Darth Vader didn't realize that Princess Leia was his daughter!!!

He can sense the presence of Luke from half a planet away but when he stands face to face with Leia he has no clue!!!!!

You know Lucas made up the story as he went along, right?

The scene is so disruptive to the flow of the movie that I just might have. For instance, I remember the gratuitous displaying of Nokia cell phones in the same movie as well.

I just finished watching "Live Free or Die Hard"...I've seen it before, but I still crack up at the scene toward the end with Bruce Willis jumping off the turnpike bridge onto a FLYING JET, sliding down the jet and landing without a scratch.

Just got me thinking - any other ridiculous scenes you remember, that just made you say, "come on! I know it's Hollywood but that's STILL ridiculous!".

before i even opened this thread, I thought of that scene. What a horrible movie...

Well, they tried to make this movie somewhat unbelievable, just for the fun of it.......but do you remember a movie by the name of True Lies??

Same deal, only terrorist jumps onto a moving Harrier, and can not only keep his balance while it's moving, but successfully negotiates his way from the tail to the cockpit, before being flipped off the wing, only to find himself hanging on a heat seeking missile......which AHnold then uses to shoot down the helicopter full of terrorists.

Yeah, no disbelief there!!

Fight Club---Tyler Dumbdon spending the last half of the movie discovering the blatant truth and I'm all waiting for something else to happen, because I figured it all out the first time and now getting bored watching the guy look confused as he travels to the next destination following a lead that will draw him closer to the Truth he should have figured out by now. Punch yourself in the head again Dumbdon, you know you want to.
