Shinerman Ruining Your Favorite Movies
When I think about things that really annoy me, major motion pictures with serious plot holes that are accepted at face value and never challenged tops the list. Anyway, this is my list- remember, major inconsistencies or omissions the audience is asked to accept with a ridiculous explanation, or none at all. But at the same time, I will also badger movies that piss me off for any reason.
PANIC ROOM I fully realize that this movie is supposed to be about how crime doesn't pay. That being said, how stupid can 3 guys be? How about this dumbasses- as soon as you find out that there are people in the house you intend to rob, COME BACK LATER. Oh, I don't know, maybe in the middle of the day dressed as plumbers so you have a full 6-8 hours while the people are at work/school? I guess the world would be deprived of one more completely improbable "thriller" and Forrest Whitaker's horrible acting. A.I., ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Since he would have never known the difference anyway, and they obviously had the technology, wouldn't it have been easier for the future robots just to create a virtual world in David's mind where his mother was alive, rather than create her for one day from DNA? Oh, and how the hell did they get his mother's memories into the cloned mother? Given that, why the hell doesn't she wonder where her husband is? THE MEXICAN Despite the fact that drunken Mexicans were firing shots in random directions, presumably thousands of feet in the sky, the bullets all landed localized in a 20'x20' section of ground where Jerry and his car were. PLEASANTVILLE If there were no other towns to play against, how could the Pleasantville Lions have "always won"? MINORITY REPORT Fifty years in the future- Despite the fact that it is impossible to travel in the DC Metro area without being catalogued by retinal scan in several law enforcement databases; it will be fairly simple for a fugitive to run into a Lexus manufacturing facility and drive out with a brand new Lexus, completely unchallenged by man, machine, or even a tire puncture. THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS I know some FBI agents, and I hear they consider it good police work to spend millions of dollars having an undercover agent "infiltrate" a street gang who may or may not have stolen a truckload of DVD players. I guess simple surveillance was out that season. P.S. There are never that many hot chicks at race meets, legal or illegal. DON'T SAY A WORD 1. Rather than kidnap a guy and torture him till he tells you what you want to hear, it's better to kill him in an extremely public place to ensure your capture and conviction, and possibly never discover the information. TWISTER I don't care what you are strapped to, you are not going to survive going through a F-5 tornado.
2. Rather than do some research at the Department of Corrections to cross-reference grave site numbers to names, it is far easier to kidnap family members of people who can get that information from a mental patient for you.
