Watching Sweet Home Alabama for the umpteenth time (I know, that was my first mistake): She was supposed to have blown up the cat when she was ten. She married Jake at 18 and has maybe made her career by the time she’s 27 or 28. What kind of cat (that had cancer to start with) lives to be 18?
Jeez, no wonder I had blocked out the movie… 
Yes, but not enough to get it right the first time.
By the way, the best one works now.
Wait, where did this criticism come from? I don’t recall a flying Tyrannosaur in Jurassic Park.
Perfect.
Might I suggest Murder at 1600? W. Snipes and D. Lane were pretty good - I mean that, it wasn’t meant to be anything but a popcorn movie & I think it should be judged on that standard – but the key to the plot resolution is based on the secret knowledge of
an unguarded/easy to open access tunnel across the street that leads into the heart of the White House
“Gramps will create a diversion while we jump over the White House fence & we’ll fight our way in” would be a more believable plot device - WTF? I would expect professional writers to come up with something better than that.
Spoilers for Bee Movie
[spoiler]It’s kind of funny, too…I can accept that bees have this whole society not too far unlike ours, complete with bee versions of everything…
…but not that the worker bees are male.[/spoiler]
I’m still not sure whether this is a continuity error or part of the story, but in Lucia, Lucia, Lucia’s hair changes color (dull reddish to a really nice red) and grows about six inches from one scene to another.
Lucia did change from almost-dowdy to sexpot during the movie, so maybe it was intentional with the hair.
Great movie, by the way.
Lots of cats live to be that old. Dunno about if they’ve had cancer though.
Well, I’m not sure why I did it, but I watched Prince of Thieves again. I won’t have to do it again for the rest of my life now.
I took my new knowledge of the history of manholes and spyglasses into this second viewing, and even though I’ve been corrected, I still have to point out that that manhole is ridiculous. It’s a modern lid and ring that opens up into…SAND. It’s just bizarre. What’s even worse is that as they’re emerging from it, RH’s hip bumps it and it moves like it’s made of…I dunno. Papier mache?
I have to say, though, that the scene where RH first looks through the spyglass, he clearly doesn’t understand what’s going on and freaks out. He draws his sword as if what he is seeing in the distance is right in front of him. It’s hilarious to me.
The same thing happened in* Dances with Wolves*…when Dunbar lets the Indians look at the buffalo through the binoculars.
I could buy the intergalactic space travel of Event Horizon, but I could not buy that 1) someone in the future would deliver a crucial warning in Latin for no apparent reason
2) someone else would comprehend it
I saw Chinatown recently… like 10 times. It’s one of those movies that I watch whenever it’s on tv and I happen to be watching.
“She’s my daughter. She’s my sister. She’s my daughter. She’s my sister and my daughter”.
wtf.
That was good!
This was a joking reference to the aforementioned magically-appearing cliff. If the cliff were there all along, then the tyrannosaur must have flown up there in order to break through the fence at that point. Either way, one is left with either magic cliffs or magic dinosaurs, neither of which are very satisfying explanations for such a huge continuity gaff.
One of the Lord of the Rings movies. Legolas *surfs * over the attacking army of Orcs and other baddies on his shield.
It was the Jar-Jar Binks moment for that franchise.

West Side Story. The hero is running through the streets of east side New York, yelling “Maria! Maria!”…
… and only one woman sticks her head out of her window.
So, were there naked people dancing in this version of Wicker Man? 'Cause I can’t picture it making any sense without a lot of dancing naked people.
For a Tolkien lore-geek, I’m pretty forgiving of most of the LOTR movie stuff, but that particular stunt made me sad.
First I did this: :rolleyes: .
Then I did this: 
I eventually got over it, but it wasn’t easy.

This is probably a case of the director letting the international audience know that they really,really are in N.Y.C.
In any internationally released film where a car chase takes place in London it seems always to go past Tower Bridge,St Pauls Cathedral,Nelsons Square,Big Ben and Buckingham Palace though there seems to be no logical explanation as to why the participants take such a roaming roundabout route.
I expect any day now to see Stonghenge included in such a chase as it is only a hundred or so miles from central London.l
