"The first rule of fight club, and their growing number of members is because it is meant to teach the members to break rules."
"The flaw in the Death Star’s construction. We didn’t need Rogue One to explain it was a deliberate sabotage."
"From Independence Day
“How could a virus programmed on Earth computers destroy the computer system of an alien civilization?”
In a deleted scene, it’s revealed that technology from the spaceship at Area 51 was harvested and used as the basis for most of Earth’s post WW2 computer technology. Once you know that, the whole thing becomes a lot more believable."
"Not a movie, but a common plot hole brought up for Friends. “How did they pay for that apartment on their salary in New York?”
The very first episode, Monica mentions that her grandma owned the apartment, and she would never be able to afford it otherwise!!"
"How does Sarah Connor know which button to press to crush the Terminator in Terminator(1984)?
Because she accidentally presses it a few minutes earlier and it set the crusher off, it what lead the Terminator to find them."
"Dark Knight Rises – how did Bruce Wayne magically get to Gotham after he escaped the hole?
1. In an adjacent scene it’s mentioned the bomb will go off in a month, so we can assume that’s how long he has to get back to Gotham.
2. Wayne Enterprises has offices around the world. All he needs to do is get to an office, log in, and wire himself money or supplies to get home. He’s Batman, he can easily do this without being noticed.
3. Batman Begins has a whole sequence of him traveling around the world penniless and nameless. This is a specific skill it’s already established he has.
There are tons of plot holes in that movie, but for some reason people get hung up on the easiest one to explain."
"In Jurassic World, Claire didn’t “outrun” the T-Rex (in heels) … because it wasn’t CHASING her. The dinosaur was conditioned to equate the flare with feeding time so it was patiently following her to an anticipated meal. The situation is similar to how zookeepers can have (limited) interactions with lions and bears."
"People sometimes wonder how Indiana Jones initially remains skeptical of the mystical events happening in the second film, when he just witnessed a magical ark mass killing a bunch of Nazis in the first film.
But that’s because the second film is a prequel."
"For the people who spend all the Star Wars movies saying, “why don’t they just Jedi Mind trick everyone into doing this or that,” Obi-Wan is very clear the first time he uses it that it works on the “weak-minded.”
I think the way Storm Troupers function throughout the first three films shows they aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed and are probably bred/trained/selected to do whatever without question and just be cannon fodder."
"Not a bad one, but the DeLorean in Back To The Future always being brought up in conversations as “ackshyually it was a really cr#ppy car”
Like…. Yes. That was the joke. Marty even asks Doc incredulously, “You built a time machine out of a DeLorean?” The car became famous because of BTTF. Before then, it was a laughingstock. Horridly underpowered with a sh#tty European V6 and incredibly fragile transmission, massive QC issues, and John DeLorean himself was a tool."
"Home Alone – it’s very clearly explained how they paid for the trip to Paris and that Kevin’s dad didn’t foot the bill."
"On watching The Sixth Sense it may seem completely improbable that Bruce Willis’ character didn’t realize that he was dead. Yet it’s explained right there in the movie: ghosts see only what they want to see."
"Toy Story. Buzz stops moving in front of humans but doesn’t think he’s a toy.
His delusion is the whole point. It’s what drives Woody crazy. He tries explaining it to him. YOU ARE A TOY."
"In Memento, people always wonder how a guy with short-term memory loss remembers he has memory loss. But he’s conditioned himself to say it, just like Sammy was subjected to conditioning in the flashbacks."
"I am so late to the party but… Legally Blonde
“OMG, a dumb blonde sorority girl studied for the LSAT for a summer and aces it? Bullsh#t!”
No. No, the point is that Elle Woods was never a “dumb blonde.” She was always brilliant. Literally the first scene is her interrogating the salesperson and catching them in a lie because she was observant and smart.
Rather, Elle was pigeonholed by the circumstances of her looks and her privileged upbringing to pursue a vapid life. While inspired by the wrong reasons, it results in her breaking the mold she was confined in so that she is able to reach her full potential."
