"Why Did Nasa Train Oil Drillers How To Be Astronauts When They Could've Just Trained Astronauts To Drill Oil In Armageddon (1998)?"
"Except that NASA and other space agencies do this all the time; they're called mission specialists and they have specialized training in some field the flight crew doesn't. They don't get taught how to fly the ship, just how not to die in space.
Also, for the record, drilling for oil — or any kind of deep core geological work — is extremely specialized, and most of the people in the positions the team of drillers in Armageddon were in have a lot of letters behind their names."

#3 is pure BS!
NASA uses that film for initial training of students/future astronauts and so far they have found some 167+ errors in the script.
Look at Russia the first time they wouldnt pay for auto docking at the space station and the pilots crashed into it. Didnt they train for that big time and yet still failed???
So an oilrigger with 14days of training would ace that?

#6 Geese have been sucked into engines at some 8kilometers~26k+feet so a bird can survive that height! Can an ork using non gunpowder appliances propel any kind of projectile to that height? I think not ;-)

"Independence Day" - there was a scene, stupidly cut, that explained most o our modern tech was based on analysis of the craft that crashed. That's why the virus works on the alien's tech.
"Armageddon" - yes, NASA/ESA/Russians call in mission specialists, but these are trained over months, not a few days...

Pam, that’s kind of assumed about Independence Day, right? They had the craft for many years. Obviously it would have been studied intensely.

Hugh,
It's a mistranslation from the original. It should have been a type of fur, not glass or gold.

Yes, front the French: "Pantoufle de vair", vair was a type of squirrel whose fur was rare and expensive. verre (glass) being an homonym, one can see why they got confused. Personally, I wouldn't want a breakable shoe that could cause a serious hemorrhage if it broke, but that just me.

The biggest plot hole in Home Alone is the police coming at the door and leaving, like "Oh well, a kid disappear, who cares, let's go get some donuts for the squad". The parents would have given them permission to enter and they would search the house.

For Citizen Kane, there is a deleted scene that mentions a nurse being in the room.

Hate to nitpick, but at least some of those were not really explained, but people drew conclusions that sound more or less valid...

almost all of these explanations are cr#p, or just made up by fans trying to justify stupid cr#p in a film. Some are just flat wrong.

I think a bigger plot hole in little mermaid is why didn't she communicate with Eric by writing on a piece of paper? She signed her name on the contract for goodness sake.

People DID teleport around in game of thrones. After the book material ran out, the show runners put zero effort into applying any type of logic or consistency to what characters were where and when.
It isn't just time elapsing. Many times, massive distances were traveled while something else was happening.
For example, how the hell did gendry go send a message to dany across the continent and have her show up in time to save the day in the middle of a battle?
I have no problem suspending my disbelief plenty, but that's just insulting to the viewer.
