The most ridiculous "suspension of disbelief" scene in a movie?

[lokiju]

T4 John Connor jumping from a helicopter into the oceran in what looks like a hurricane and some how magically not only not dying but finding a sub under the surface and gaining access to that sub.

The A-TEAM tank scene, definitely. It was awesome though.

Did you just post a spoiler for a movie that's currently in theaters, without spoiler tags, in a thread that's not about that movie? Or is that an insignificant plot detail?

It's not really a spoiler, although it does kind of ruin the first scene of the movie for you.

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

../facepalm

lol

though i always wondered why you would build this huge amazing thing just to have a easy way to blwo it up. why not hide it? why put it in a trench? why not shield it? or better yet have that one they knew about be a fake and have the real one hidden?

 

[Leros]

Awesome!

That almost as cool as Italian Spiderman (Link)

.

So that's where that gif come from.

 

[Freshgeardude]

Quote deleted.

Did you just quote a spoiler? That's just as bad.

What "twist" are you talking about? Everything was clear since the start of the movie, the fun was watching it unfold

I mean the "twist" where Butler was somehow getting out of jail every night to wreak havoc. I don't agree that was clear at the start of the movie, nor could it have been since it was so absurd.

The Core.


Ok, so first they're going to fly into Earth to "restart" the core with the original idea of using nuclear bombs. Then the thing they're going to pilot down there is made of "unobtanium." The use of that in a story seems to me like a sign of a writer saying "Fuck it, I don't care anymore. Just say it's unobtanium." Come on, even Star Trek writers at least tried coming up with new stuff, like the "sarium krellide" power cells in phasers.

It might have been something that was overlooked. With something that big it's hard to cover everything during the design. The Rebel Alliance probably had to pour over the design schematics to find all the weakness they could and this was the weakest. If it wasn't for that weakness, plan B was to have Luke smuggle in a nuke on his X-Wing. :sneaky:

Ya, I'm writing a short Scifi story and considered using Unobtanium, but it's used too much already. I changed it to: Nofuckingwaythishitcouldexistium. I think it rolls off the tongue better too.

Transformers... from the top secret "Level 7" organization issuing L7 underwear (way to go low-pro, guys) to the kids identifying the same signal by listening to it to the hacker geek that somehow hones his world-class skills while being a comic/game/general slacker nerd at the same time. Ugh.

The Day after Tomorrow for weather cold enough to freeze the ocean's salt water but somehow *not* cold enough to remove all the water vapor from the air until the eye of the storm hits, magically forming new ice on everything.

The Core for... well, where do I begin? The preposterous procedings against the shuttle pilot/hero? The Flexible pressure suits when deep inside the Earth's core (requires equal pressure inside to not be simply smashed anyway)? The punctured giant hollow geode that still somehow holds up to planetary pressure long enough to fix their machine (it's full of gasses AND they compromised it!)? Rat (need I say more)? More ugh.

Edit: Dammit! Jeff7 posted about the Core while I was writing this.

I'm voting for this. I can't get a Mac to connect to my PC without a gillion problems. They were able to get one to connect wirelessly to an alien computer system and bring it down. Steve Jobs must have been proud!

Umm... it wasn't wireless. They interfaced when they docked.

This. Totally. Oh! And, not to mention, catching up to a HIGH SPEED VEHICLE CHASE by swinging on vines that are all hanging down vertically.

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.

They aren't lasers. They're "Blasters." That's why you can watch them travel.

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!!

"You're fired!"

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.

Sounds like you might need to watch it one more time. His name isn't Tyler. We are never told what his name is. He uses fake names at all the different meetings and the Soundtrack/movie makers sometimes refer to him as "Jack" ("I am Jack's ____").

Of course, everyone else thinks that he is Tyler.

Can we get some fucking spoiler tags in this thread?

Harold & Kumar Go To Whitecastle

When Harold and Kumar hang glide off the ledge, its night time and when they land, its morning.

Riiiiiight.

I know they were high but... the cheetah riding scene didn't do it for you first?

Nah, the first Half was plenty, though I watched it to the end.

Hey, there's an element called "seaborgium." Go for it. :awe:



(Seaborg...that's a great last name, especially thanks to Star Trek. Star Trek XI: Aquaman vs the Sea Borg.)

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.

apparently everyone remembers these shit movies

 

[shortylickens]

Yeah a good indicator of a movie sucking is the amount and obviousness of Apple product placement. Also Nokia has been doing a lot recently. Their ads in Star Trek and Cloverfield (both Bad Robot pictures) were annoying blunt.

Some 70's blaxploitation movie that I don't remember the name of that was supposed to be taking place in DC. One guy chased another guy across 14th street and they had actually filmed the east side of the street on 14th street but the alley they went running up on the west side had mountains in the background.

Lots of cowboy movies supposedly in Texas often have the Rockies in the background.

-Non-Sonora deserts with seguora cacti. Hey this is supposed to be Texas, but here's a Segoura cactus in the background.

-Old cowboy movies where everything is a day's ride, because of this mythical "pass" they can take, but the bad guys won't. Mind you, they'll talk about riding from El Paso to Arizona.

The movie was cool up until that point. It was pure suckage from that point on.
