    Alien.

    “Waow what the f-!”
    “- DON’T KILL IT!”
    *kills it* “- Sorry, you were saying?”

    Still can’t figure why they didn’t kill it when they had opportunity. 😬

      I was thinking more along the lines of:

      We were woken up to check out this signal.

      Shine that, let’s go home and get paid.

      But you know, we’re required by law to do so or we forfeit our payment.

      OK, so what’s the story we all say?

      Yeah, nothing there. Must have been a glitch.

      OK, let’s go home.

    As a bonus, I remember watching Walker Texas Ranger with my father in law, amd the amount of times people had their sights on him and didn’t shoot him was ridiculous. He’d have died so fast.

    28 Weeks Later.

    After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.

    “Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”

    “My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”

    Donnie Darko

    oh the weird bunny man who is the dead boyfriend of your sister told you to come out of bed and onto the street?

    Nah, bad dream, just stay in bed. Jet engine goes boom, Donnie’s buried under, only one other family in another timeline loses a jet engine, story over in 5 minutes…

    …unless the story then fixates on the other timeline where a jet engine just vanished off a plane and no one knows where, ah goddamit

    Pffft got a pen?

    Series:

    Sons of anarchy

    Heroes

    13 reasons why

    Terra nova

    The 100

    Mr. & Mrs Smith

    -> pretty much almost every series I’ve watched

    Movies:

    All transformers

    Almost all FFurious

    Definitely all jack sparrows

    Even the orig Mr. & Mrs Smith

    -> the more I think, the more the list grows

    Movies are all about those few moments that throw characters off the “right way,” spinning up bunch of placebos with consequences and how characters emerge through all those stronger.

      I don’t get most of this list. If they only talked to megatron nothing would’ve happend. These street racers in fast and furious seem like smart level headed people, why do they talk instead of racing cars?

      Pretty sure the whole reasoning behind the eagles not taking the ring to Mt doom was because of the nazgul. That’s why Gandalf had the whole Hobbits sneak into Mordor plan.

        Yeah, not understanding that is a consequence of people not reading the source material, because Tolkien definitely explains exactly why the eagles couldn’t do that.

        On the other hand, I think it’s a valid criticism of the movies that, for all the amazing things he did in that trilogy, Peter Jackson failed to explain something minor that turned out to be a lingering issue for some segment of the wider audience that would consume that adaptation.

        That would be an interesting start for a completely different saga.

        “Ok, so that plan didn’t work. Like, not even a little bit. Now the whole world is on fire, thanks to our genius shortcut. Any plans how we could fix that?“

      In addition to the flying Nazgûl and what not, the ring could corrupt the proud eagle. They’d just fly off with it and then you have another problem.

      I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.

      It’s crazy how this became a movie trope. It doesn’t say in the rules that a giraffe can’t be in the swim team.

    Every dragged out rom-com.

    “We have a bad misunderstanding about why our relationship sucks!”

    “Well, let’s sit down and talk it over, okay?”

    “Okay”

    End.
