something that really annoys me

[shootthebandit]

i hate when something happens in a film and you think 'wait a minute, they couldve done this instead and this wouldnt have happened'. this happens to me alot but i noticed it when watching xmen: the last stand. at the end when logan kills jean, why didnt he just inject her with 'the cure'. They used 4 on magneto, they couldve spared one.

can you think of any examples where you have thought like this.

Pretty much every film i've ever seen. But the writers seem to think "Golly, our viewers love pointless extravagant drama over cold hard logic anyday!", and opt for it.

exactly, it happens to often. i often think of something logical the protagonist shouldve done to avoid the consequential drama. you then say to a friend and there like 'why did you have to ruin the film'.

Why didn't Robert De Niro shoot Harvey Keitel until he was good and dead? I mean, shit, maybe he wouldn't have been so full of holes if he had just put him down for good the first time.

I was watching American Pie Beta House, and when I saw the extremely wealthy and intelligent nerds who were destined billionaires I wondered "Couldn't they have gotten into a better college? Even if that college is amazing and is Harvard fucking NYU blowing Juliard, how did those other dipshits get in, then?"

Well there's always the fact that flying on those giant birds in Lord of the Rings and dropping the ring in the fires from whence it came, would have saved a hell of a lot of time.

I can think of some other movies, notably 28 Weeks Later, which was the shittiest movie since The Room. Basically everything that happens in that movie requires a giant leap of logic rather than anything resembling rational thought. "Hey, there are zombies and uninfected people down there, what do we do? Shoot them all? Even the ones that aren't running around squirting blood out of their mouths? I can see the stitches on that chick's sex change with these scopes, that's not really necessary. Are you sure? All right, if you say so." Yes, it was a metaphor for the war in Iraq, how fucking clever.

Bout 9 hours of mine to be exact...

In Star Wars Episode III the scene where Anakin goes in and murders the little kids, did anyone else find it odd that he was able to do so and get off the ship without anyone seeing and stopping him?

spoilerish/Just looking at your photo makes me think of fallout3's ending, which wasn't worth going in just to see a few black and white screen shots.
