Look, we don’t want to shock you or anything, but the things that happen in the movies and TV shows you watch aren’t real. However, that doesn’t mean that the lessons they teach us or the way the narratives that are told don’t have value. Quite the opposite! When we go to the cinema or we turn on the magic light -and-sound box in our living rooms, we know we’re often in for a dose of fiction. But we’re willing to suspend our sense of disbelief for the sake of experiencing the story as though it were real.

So film creators have some leeway in terms of how they shape the story. Unfortunately for them (and fortunately for us, the audience), they have to adhere to some rules. Even in a fictional setting with fictional problems, the events on the screen have to be believable and the characters have to appear real, in the context of the story. In short—things have to make sense and follow certain rules of logic. We wouldn’t blink twice about a character from Looney Tunes surviving a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge; but we think it’s very odd when Indiana Jones does it.

Though pretty much everyone has some minor quibbles that never fail to end their immersion in the plotline. Redditor u/xwhy started up an interesting thread on r/movies after asking people to share the dumbest things that end their suspense of disbelief in films. We’ve collected some of the most interesting answers. You’ll find them as you scroll down.

Bored Panda got in touch with the author of the thread, writer Christopher Burke, aka u/xwhy. He was kind enough to answer our questions about the limits of the suspension of disbelief. You'll find our full interview with him below! Christopher is the author of the book 'In A Flash 2020,' a high school math teacher, and webcomic creator.

I watched a video from an Intel or Microsoft tutorial. Don't remember which. The engineer slid that baby in on the first try no looking. It was magic. It was at least a few minutes into the video and there was no video cuts. I watched the rest of the video knowing I was learning from the best.

Writer Christopher, aka u/xwhy, told us about the inspiration behind the thread. "I wanted to start a discussion, and I was curious if anyone else was as picky as I can be about details. As I told someone else on the thread, superheroes, aliens, and magic are the price of admission. That's what I'm paying for with the movie. After that, everything else should be relatable," he explained that even in fantastical settings, large parts of the story need to be grounded and believable.

He explained to Bored Panda how this works. "There can be a dragon. The dragon can swear, smoke cigars, and drink whiskey if it wants to. But if it starts talking about cigars and whiskey and gets basic facts (which are easily found) wrong, someone's going to notice, and that will pull them out of the moment. The audience will willingly accept the big stuff or they wouldn't watch the movie. It's the small stuff that's distracting, and sometimes you wonder if they could've avoided it."

    His cape is made by his adoptive parents from a micro thin blanket found with him as a baby. The fabric is Kryptonian and shares properties with the rest of his skin tight costume, and it is able to fold into a small flat package on his back. Superman allows it to unfold and as it is an alien fabric it does not crease when he removes his Clark Kent disguise and has time to fold it back up with his super speed when he has finished saving the world

    As an American, I will say that a lot of actors and Americans have creepily "straight" teeth. It's like they've all been resized and reshaped into this perfectly symmetrical horseshoe with all of the teeth the same size, and then bleached until they glow under black light. A lot of people in the US also have a tooth gap on the side of their mouth (both sides) where teeth were removed so there would be room to reshape the rest of the mouth. If people naturally looked like that vampires and werewolves would be super easy to pick out of the population.

    The teeth thing in movies playing in the past is mostly truth in television though. Bad teeth are a first world problem that's caused by the high intake of sugar in modern times. People who eat low processed foods with no added sugar usually have very healthy teeth and rather white ones too. Most cavemen had perfect teeth, and most natives also have very pretty teeth.

    When you're a fashion historian you notice ALL of them and it's irritating as hėll. We KNOW what these people looked like because we have portraits, contemporary sources, fashion plates, even cave paintings and pottery. While often these things are limited by budget constraints or a director's vision, some don't even try to approach historical accuracy. And the prevailing view seems to be that modern audiences are too...dumb?...to be entertained by an accurate historical representation so filmmakers have to sexy-it-up. Which itself is dumb. Why even make a historical film then? Do it right or don't do it.

    Let’s put it this way. We’re completely fine with there being wizards and dragons in the stories we read and watch. However, they still need to behave more or less like wizards and dragons. If dragons can teleport around the world instead of, you know, actually flying to places, we’re going to start asking questions. Similarly, if their strength, resilience, and the power of their breath all vary wildly from scene to scene because the plot demands it, we’re going to sigh and say, “C’mon!”

    The same can be said about character motivations. Yes, people grow, adapt, and change their minds. However, you can’t expect the audience to get emotionally invested in the characters themselves if they change their minds about what’s right and wrong from scene to scene and episode to episode. There needs to be consistency and logic! Some recent TV shows are absolutely great at destroying the audience’s willing suspension of disbelief.

    I actually think the opposite. I think most people would be wise enough to understand the importance of banding and working together. I honestly feel that a lot of the "other group is evil" stuff would be very rare. We would see more communities like Alexandria, Hilltop and the Kingdom banding together and fewer groups like they encountered that would destroy anybody they didn't like.

    It doesn't require 180 degree rotation though. A lateral or vertical dislocation of one of the cervical vertebra of as little as 30 mm can cause sufficient trauma to the cervical spine to kill someone. This does not require much force and can actually done by accident, especially in contact sports such as rugby and American football.

    I hate when vehicles no one heard suddenly burst onscreen and hit someone. The worst example I’ve seen was a company of helicopters. I don’t remember the name of the movie or what was taking place but it was a night scene in a compound high in a mountain range. Suddenly, three or four helicopters anyone with ears would have heard coming from miles away swoop in and take everyone by surprise. Time and money wasted.

    Things that low-key irk us include characters teleporting around Middle Earth seemingly in an instant in The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power. It’s also hard to stay invested in the story when it’s hard to grasp the timeframe. And don’t even get us started on how low-quality some of the costumes were… Look, if you’re doing something related to The Lords of the Rings, you have to get the details right. 

    In a similar fashion, as much as we enjoyed House of the Dragon, we had a hard time actually liking some of the characters just because of how often their motivations and personalities flip-flopped. However, watching the show got us to read George R. R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood about the entire Targaryen dynasty, so we still call that a win. There’s far more consistency to be found in the pages of the book than in the show, but we’re still eagerly waiting for season 2. (Maybe they've heard the feedback from fans and they'll fix the lighting in some scenes! The stories are dark, but the scenes don't have to mirror that in an all-too-literal sense; we want to see what's going on.)

    I always tell myself that if I could draw blood samples from dogs and cats for 40 years (and put in intravenous catheters) then I could handle getting the same done to me at the hospital. You might try not watching them do the blood draw though. Typing with dog on lap sorry if its off a bit.

    And, ordering tests without verifying if the patients insurance covers any of them and assuming the patient can afford to pay for these tests (looking at you House) You want to save my life by ordering a ton of lab work and radiology exams, exploratory surgeries that my insurance won't pay for so I'll live and have to work the rest of my life to pay off?

    My number one pet peeve is when characters who speak the same language are all speaking in English to each other with accents. I get they do it because they’re targeting an English-speaking audience and a lot of this group can’t be bothered to read subtitles, but that always takes me out. I’m also anti-dub because I like to hear the actors speak in their native language, even if I can’t understand it.

    In '1899' on Netflix, the story happens on an cruise boat with characters from different countries. They all speak their native language, but it's somehow even more disturbing, because they all seem to understand each other. I get it for some of them (like the Danes and the German), but when a spanish character listen with intent to a girl speaking Mandarin... For those who saw the show, maybe the answer to that would have been given in the 2nd season, but we'll never know :-/

    Ah yes. Recently watched something (dubbed, because my mother doesn't understand English) and there was this one instance that really annoyed me: American TV show, French characters. The characters spoke French in that scene and the creators slapped a neat English subtitle on the screen. Perfection. But instead of slapping a Hungarian subtitle on the screen as well to keep the scene French, they dubbed it. We got English subs for a dubbed scene. My eye twitched so hard.

    "That Was It For Me": People Share 40 Ridiculous Movie Moments That Ruined It For Them The opening of A Quiet Place, when the camera pans to a newspaper vending machine and the headline reads, “It’s Sound!!” I could not get past the idea that the world (maybe just the area?) is being destroyed by creatures with such super hearing that we later see children playing Monopoly with pieces of felt because the sound of plastic on chipboard will evidently risk death, and someone had to write a story about something so obvious, then it was proofed, then it was edited, then someone had to typeset it, THEN they actually ran the printing press - they’re *absurdly* loud - and some poor schlub had to brave their way through the streets, dodging sound monsters as the sun was coming up, so they could drive around the city and fill vending machines with newspapers. I know it’s a throwaway moment in the movie, I get that it’s an homage to sci-fi movies of the 50s and 60s, but it’s just so dumb when you think about it. Then, of course, you find out the protagonists have decided to put themselves and their family in complete danger by getting pregnant (you really think you can keep a baby completely silent through their being a toddler? And your best soundproofing is newspapered walls and one spring mattress?!) and I just couldn’t enjoy anything or take it seriously. I hate that movie with a vengeance.

Of course life goes on, but there's lots of other fun things they can do to/with each other short of risking pregnancy, at least until they're in a more secure situation.

    You think THAT is the most unrealistic part of the movie? What about the fact that the monsters came to Earth on asteroids which, according to the directors, are actually pieces from their planet that EXPLODED?! No natural being could survive that, and even if they did, how the f**k would they survive the many millenia that the asteroids traveled through space without any food?! The movie as a concept is interesting, but its story has too many holes for to even come close to like (and I didn't even touch on the absurd levels of incompetence Earth's armed forces would need to have for things to reach that point.

    At the end of the day, there will always be particular decisions that storytellers make that will upset us (and us specifically), and we either have to actively ignore them or move on to a better film/show/book. One small ‘mistake’ probably won’t prevent us from immersing ourselves in the story. But these errors in continuity and logic can quickly add up.

    The best thing that moviemakers can do is to try and find realistic (again, realistic in the context of their world) solutions to their narrative problems, instead of going for lazy solutions. If we wanted to watch a low-budget film or read a poorly-written piece of fan fiction, we would’ve chosen to do that instead.

    Weapons are quite simple, if there is a trigger; pull it to make boomstick go boom, if there is a lever near the magazine housing, fiddle with it to make the magazine fall out, charging handles are more complex, but in video games you see someone pulling a handle to charge the weapon, so in movies in the present will have that to help them. the exception is stoppages, but by then, a competent person will have got themselves another weapon, and can discard the current one.

    It's a leftover from when cars were far less safe. It's become a trope because it's expected - the collective consciousness "knows" that cars explode on impact because they did (used to do that). Cars also are completely undrivable after taking to the air via ramp and landing with enough force to break an axle, but I've not seen that one on the list so far....

    The Ford Pinto would do it because the petrol tank was directly behind the rear axle, so if you got shunted from behind with a full tank the car blew up. Ford actually realised this would happen, but decided it would be cheaper to pay out on claims from the deceaseds' relatives than recall the car and fix it.

    What always gets me is the explosions themselves. A gas tank will blow up - once. However, to make a good impression, there's about 3 or 4 explosions one right after the other. I can only assume that Hollywood thinks we're all idiots. Maybe they think that one explosion isn't enough to make a statement?

    This ! And to make the audience believe that gallop is the natural gait of horses, so that you can cross an entire country in a few hours with them. This pissed us off when my mom was running an equestrian center. Some dumb tourists would arrive and the typical alpha male would demand to go galloping with the horses to impress his girlfriend. Folks, if you force a horse to gallop for more than a dozen minutes, or even if they seem to actually enjoy it themselves, you'll just kill them. That's why race horses have a much shorter lifespan than they normally should have. Horses in nature only need to gallop when they want to run away, which is their usual defense against predators. Rest of the time, they just walk or stand still while grazing.

    At least some movies have horses being ridden to death because the characters need to get somewhere fast desperately enough that they don't care about the horses welfare. If I remember correctly in True Grit to save the girl after a snake bite, which seemed pretty realistic in terms of time and distance relation. And the beginning of Gladiator too had a scene like that (if I remember correctly), but if you are trying to get from central Europe to Iberia at a gallop you won't even get a tenth of the way until your horse collapses (if you are not a messenger that can switch horses (and riders! it's exhausting!) at way stations along the way). In that case taking it "slow" will get you there much faster. "Faster" still being weeks.

    The movie True Lies has actually a really funny motorcycle vs horse chase scene. While surprise, surprise Arnold is quite a good rider without this having been set up in the movie before, and I approve neither of the halting a strange horse via gripping the reins nor galloping on asphalt (it's realistic - just not good for the horses mouth or joints and dangerous because slippery, which is why they usually put mats on the ground for filming). The scene does some things right. Not even a minute into the chase Arnie tells his back-up to hurry because his horse is getting tired, the horse can move over low obstacles instead of having to go around, it becomes anxious in the elevator which is to be expected (a not police or movie trained horse would probably have freaked out completely) and the chase ends because the motorcycle has no objections to jumping from one tall building to another, while the horse just goes NOPE.

    Arnold was a spy in that movie. Of course, spies know how to ride horses and motorcycles. (Sarcasm)

    Nice horse, the rider should get some advice of how to handle reigns. Of course the circumstances are unknown here, but elbows behind your body is ... not common ... Horses are steered by using your weight and legs, not by pulling on the reigns as hard as you can ...

    Pssst...reins, not reigns. "Reigns" is what a monarch does. But yes, either that rider had the reins too loose to begin with & thus has to use her whole arm to tighten them up a bit, or she's completely lost control of the horse and is yanking hard to try to get a handle on things.

    This actually just occurred to me today: in The Matrix, the concept of "dying in the simulation kills you IRL" and "the body cannot live without the mind". I get that the simulation is *very* real, but it only interacts with your conscious brain by implanting images and sensations into your cerebrum. Your autonomic nervous system is controlled by the brain stem (cerebellum) and has nothing to do with your conscious interaction with the surrounding world. Your brain stem doesn't "know" that you got shot; physiological changes due to the impact impair homeostasis, and interrupt vital functions. Your brain stem will still try to make your heart beat even if your heart gets ripped out of your chest (for the few moments it still has oxygen) so why would your brain stem "decide" to make your heart stop just because you think you got shot? it makes no sense at all and considering much of the series relies on people dying for real because they died in the simulation totally ruins it for me

    The brain stem is more than just the cerebellum, it has three parts. Moreover, the cerebellum is the primary motor cortex, which controls our bodily movements especially in response to sensory cues, and not the piece of the brain that controls the heart: that is the hypothalamus (located below the thalamus). If you want to pick apart the Matrix, the idea that jamming a big metal rod into the longitudinal fissure in the brain - most likely severing or damaging the corpus callosum in the process completely removing the ability to form long-term memories among other major damages -- would somehow completely immerse you in sensory information would be completely wrong, for a variety of different reasons. I still enjoyed the movies, but as a psychologist, I very much had to suspend disbelief at a number of the aspects of their explanation of the Matrix and how it would work in the brain.

    Just to play a little devils advocate here... but if we're talking about a sci-fi movie here. Wouldn't it be a sci-fi concept that the irl "humans" may not have the same atomical inner structure as we know actual humans do? I mean for God sake, they have the "ports" as babies. Seems the robots have genetically modified humans to be batteries through all growth stages.

    I'm glad they picked this one instead of the "using humans as batteries" argument. Hopefully that one at least can be put to bed - the writers didn't want to use this reasoning, knowing it made no sense, but it's an example of executive meddling. Thankfully, Futurama satirised it.

    I took it to mean that the machinery that was jacked into your neck probably sent some sort of current back into the host body when they “died” in the simulation. the conceit of the matrix is that you don’t know it’s a simulation. It would do no good for the machines to let you ‘die’ only to pop back up like a regenerating game character… your mind would start looking for answers. So I always thought that if you died in simulation that the machine would kill you in the real world.

    Makes sense for those still plugged in, but the rebels aren't, they are hijacking a radio signal basically. They should have an air gap or firewall type safeguard from any kind of feedback that the Matrix tried to send to remotely drop them.

    There is a Piers Anthony book where you get locked in from removing the VR instead of dying when you die in the game. That was much more believable to me, it was mostly full body VR that prevented protagonist from removing it to disconnect in order to eat/take his insulin. It's a great book with actually possible though remote chance ending. It's called Killobyte if anyone is interested! Even though written in 1993 we are just reaching the "future tech" in it so it holds up

    This is probably the most ridiculous part of Don't Worry Darling for me. Yes, I know a lot of people had a lot of negative thoughts about the film. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very watchable, even on subsequent viewings. But when Olivia Wilde's character Bunny says "when a man dies in Victory he dies in the real world" I couldn't wrap my brain around it. Why? His physical body has nothing to do with images and experiences that are being projected into his brain. And why only the men? Does anyone have her phone number?

    Game of Thrones: I know there was plenty of awful writing in the later seasons, but armies just started teleporting around the place. Armies on horseback and foot. I grew up on a farm and do you know how much food animals need for 6 week. And people. When winter is coming in, so zero grass growth. And moving that food around with the army. And then carts, wheelwrights to fix the carts wheels. They had spent a lot of time showing how far sone parts were from each other.

    All of it is explained much better in the books - it just wouldn't work if translated directly for the small screen. I mean, would you watch a show where they spend three episodes showing all the armies travelling to the battleground? I agree they could have 'explained' it better. And there's no defence or justification for the second half of the final season, in my opinion.

    How about the whole "Winter is coming!" deal? A civilization stuck in classic Medieval Stassis that experiences a winter that lasts longer than a full calendar year is a dead civilization. There may be a few cannibalistic stragglers that make it to year #2 of Winter, but not more than that. And what pisses me off is that he goes to the trouble of giving us The Long Night, a winter that lasted an entire generation where decimation did indeed happen, so I know he MUST have done a little research. And if this is the norm, as the older characters tell us, then where are the giant granaries? Why does this culture seem to know about Winter, yet does not one damned thing about it?

    Not to mention how logistics worked in medival times - armies relied on the local population to keep them fed, which is especially hard during winter. Having own supply chains soley for the armed forces was an idea that came up in the 18th century.

    As a military historian, I can tell you logistics has long been a major point of importance for military campaigns. If you study military strategy, you'll see that great military leaders spend a lot of energy managing supply lines. This was a the point of the Romans building all of those roads. If you study the army of Genghis Khan, the Mongols had logistics down to a science. The biggest issue I have with Game of Thrones is the "generals" are some of the worst military minds I've ever seen. The strategies they use seem like they were designed to get as many of their own armies killed as possible.

    This is very niche, but as a professional musician “whiplash“ pissed me off. The scene where Miles Teller is practicing his drums until his hand starts bleeding is absolutely detrimental to his technique. If he does that regularly, he’ll be lucky if he can hold a pen let alone play the drums by the time he’s 40.

    The way you learn a difficult bit as a musician is to play it slowly at first. Very very slowly and once every move is perfected, you speed it up gradually. The beauty is that there's almost no limit to how fast you can play it if you can play it slow perfectly. Whiplash is a very good movie for a whole lotta other reasons, but does a terrible job of portraying musicians

    I've done that. Played til my hands bled. Many, many, many times. And it's nothing to do with technique. I've cut my knuckles on cymbals accidentally because I can't see well with gig lighting. I've had multiple blisters and watched them burst as I play. I've caught my skin doing rimshots and bled. It's not uncommon for drummers and for the most part it's not technique, it's either getting carried away with it, being dazzled by lights, or sheer tiredness and frustration. It's the whole reason for drummer gloves!

    I was really surprised and taken out of the movie 3 Kings to see people hauling duffel bags of gold bars like they weighed nothing. It is not just one scene, the whole movie they are tossing around, carrying while running, passing from person these duffel bags we're supposed to believe are full of gold bars. One gold bar is 25 pounds so these bags would be easily be hundreds and hundreds of pounds

    When we bought our house it had door knobs that if you accidentally turn the lock you could still close the door and then get locked out of your house. My husband changed to the ones where you have to turn the lock on the k**b to lock the door. We also have a deadbolt but the door knobs where you can accidentally get locked out could be very dangerous if you live in a bad area or where it snows like we do!

    The only silencer, that works like in the movies is the HK MP5SD, with integrated silencer. Check the video by Forgotten Weapons on YT about that. Also, you need special ammo for better muffling - slower, subsonic bullets, that don't break the sound barrier.

    I see your shotgun argument, and raise you with a magnum revolver - getting shot by a high caliber handgun makes you flip. I've done this only once in a game, where real physics are a suggestion (it wasn't a handgun though). Most bullets are made to pass through things.

    A bullet does not have enough energy to push anybody back. When a person is shot, they will either stumble in the direction of their movement, or simply drop. It's less dramatic and a lot more frightening. They're standing and then suddenly they collapse like a puppet whose strings were cut.

    This is because men are exponentially stronger than women. It's why men are told not to hit women because, as my wife says, it would be like hitting a child. The best example I know in response to a trained woman vs. joe off the street is in an episode of Card Sharks. Bob Eubanks arm wrestles a professional female body builder and wins. He would have been at least 48 at the time. This is why the best self-defense for a woman is to go for the groin.

    “The Dark Knight Rises”. Ok, so no one has seen Batman OR Bruce Wayne for seven years and then they BOTH show up in Gotham at the same time but no one notices the coincidence? Not even “Robin” because he says he figured it out by looking into his eyes. Took me out of the movie and that happened at the beginning. Oh and let’s not forget that Commissioner Gordon couldn’t figure that part out either but could all of a sudden remember a tiny conversation he had with a very young Bruce Wayne to put it together. Dumb.

He's a billionaire whose entire fortune is tied up in stocks? And he's got outstanding bills that require his furniture to be taken? And the SEC or whatever agency in that universe just okays the fraudulent trading of Wayne stocks?

    When Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, he dedicated his life to studying advanced martial arts, criminology, engineering, and everything else needed to become the World's Greatest Detective. When his not-girlfriend got killed, he sulked in his bedroom for seven years. I almost walked out of the theatre, and I wish I had. That whole movie was a steaming turd.

    Farscape had the best aliens. Hands down. They also solved the "how do you understand alien languages" problem with a simple idea: translator microbes injected into your body so you understand each other even if you speak different languages entirely. They were all speaking English of course, so the audience would understand, but that was basically from the human character's POV who heard the translated version of what they were saying. It was genius. Late 90s and early 00s sci-fi shows were super damn creative. I miss them.

    This was addressed in the best science fiction show no one watched, Space Above and Beyond. It used an actual concept that all life has the same base DNA because it all originated from the same planet. An asteroid strikes a planet as life begins to form sending fragments of the planet into the universe that eventually seeds life on new worlds. Similar to the Final Fantasy movie, when the alien planet exploded and fragments delivered the dead spirits to earth.

    I loved binging on "Star Trek:Voyager" because nearly every alien race was humanoid and the Voyager crew understood nearly every alien language DESPITE being in a quadrant of the universe that had never been explored by humans before, but their translator technology allowed them, in most cases, to converse with perfect grammar and syntax. In very few instances of non-humanoid contact, Janeway always claimed "they're trying to communicate". IRL, those aliens might have been giving commands to each other on how to blow up Voyager. Merde- I've been living in France for 9 years and I still don't grasp all of the nuances of the language!!!

    Next Generation explained why the majority of races are similar. There was a progenitor race that seeded intelligent life on many, many planets. While they only used the main races from that series to unlock the secret, it was made apparent that it held for races not involved in that adventure.

The flashbacks would probably indicate some post traumatic stress related to your witnessing the accident. Therapy may be able to help lessen the frequency of the flashbacks if they still happen pretty often. I sincerely hope things improve for you, I can't imagine what it's like to live with that kind of tragedy.

    "That Was It For Me": People Share 40 Ridiculous Movie Moments That Ruined It For Them In 'End of Days' the movie goes out of it's way to show that the main character's life is in shambles and he basically doesn't care about anything anymore. He's a drunk who eats garbage and almost never leaves his apartment. The problem? The main character is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, so we're supposed to believe that this guy who doesn't give a s**t about his health has the body of a guy who puts roids in his cereal and spends 4 hours a day at the gym.

    I feel that way about a lot of TV shows and movies. Start with James Bond. What we see in the movies is him getting most of his workouts physical/cardio by banging random women to the point that they'll do anything for him (applause). He also is incredibly skilled at driving boats/cars, skiing and various versions of swordplay. Daniel Craig's Bond is also pretty good at Parkour and apparently some versions of hacking, or at least stealing passwords. In most shows/movies it annoys me that the buff/athletic/attractive man/woman is supposed to be a train wreck/dumpster fire with their whole live going down the crapper but they are still hot/buff as sh1t and mostly coherent for the whole movie.

    It’s the same for most countries. There are so many American / Australian actors that play English / Irish / Scottish characters and the accent in terrible. I guess they figure that most of the global audience won’t notice or care, but if you’re from the country with the bad accent it is very noticeable.

    Any example where there’s a race against time that requires being somewhere in 5-10 minutes that would clearly take 30-45 *minimum*. I understand that mechanically it’s probably easier to build a sense of momentum when the race against time roughly corresponds to the runtime itself, but whenever someone says “I’ll be there in 5 minutes,” I can’t help but get distracted thinking how it’ll take them that long just to get going and on the road, let alone cover the 45+ minute commute between locations. It’s not something so egregious as to ruin the film/episode, it’s just something I immediately notice and therefore necessitates an active suspension of my disbelief.

    I spent some time in Wales to get my teaching certification. I made something of an error when I moved my stuff, and forgot my laptop charger. I had been planning on using my laptop to charge my phone (so I didn't need another bulky plug). I needed a charger somewhat desperately. Couldn't get one in town, but there was one "not far" away. I discovered that my definition of "not far" was very different to theirs when it took me an hour to get there. (Yes, I know that British distances pale in comparison to the US and Canada, but I also know that on the Isle of Wight, going the the other side of the island is considered a long way, and it's literally 15 miles...)

    I actually appreciated Die Hard With a Vengeance that much more because they made it a plot point. Simon gave McClane a time to get across town in Manhattan that was impossible to achieve before setting off a bomb, and they even commented on the fact that there was no way they could make it in time, so it was clearly part of Simon's plan (and it was).

    Definitely have to have a different set of expectations for The Hobbit. A lot of it is goofy and irreverent, and that's because it was written for kids. Turning it into a movie trilogy targeted towards adults was never going to be perfect.

    Yes, for things that don't actually exist yet and will need a real name when they do. This stuff would have been called unobtanium when its existence was just a hypothesis, once it was discovered it would have been renamed, probably after where it was found or who found it. Keeping the unobtanium name was just a dumb immersion breaking joke.

    Not a lot has changed in overall sweater technology and design for hundreds of years. Maybe that is what you found jarring... Try realizing that men's everyday clothing styles haven't really changed that much in decades. Some specific pieces look dated and lapels, ties, etc. vary but I used to work with a guy just a few years ago who rocked the skinny tie / skinny lapel look and didn't look out of date.

    Well, the joke is that people think dwarves are stupid, but they're not. They're extremely skilled metallurgists. So, I think it would've been more realistic for him to just say, "Brain stem" but I don't think "Central nervous system" is that unreal. Orcs have to eat too. They have restaurants and inns and cooks/chefs. They're not fed from slop buckets like pigs... Many orcs are presented as very intelligent and I think that was Tolkien's point. Some evil people are smart, they're completely aware of what they're doing. Never automatically assume a cognizant person is moral.

The plot goes that a demon needs to have sex to give birth to a demon, just at a certain time. There were two minutes left to finish the movie according to the time clock in the same story, and I tell my girlfriend they were already saved because the bad of the movie doesn't have time to undress the good girl and do everything in two minutes. Result she started laughing super contagious and at the end of the movie, including a surprise suicide, the whole room was laughing like they were watching a comedy.

    I remember back when everyone KNEW the world was ending on June 6th of 2006 (6/6/06...because, you know, the world ended in June 1906, 1806...6/6/666...), I worked the overnight in a convenience store. A man came in, I asked how he was, and he told me he was so relieved, it was past midnight and he was still alive. Just to mess with him a little, I said he was a fool...it's not midnight that's the problem, it's 7:06am, 6 hours, 6 minutes, and 6 seconds into 6/6/06. Never saw a person turn so white so fast in my life.

    I thought it was because the anti-Christ was supposed to be born on 06/06/06. So unless he grew up instantly then the destruction wouldn’t happen for 13 - 18 years when he became a moody teenager.

    SPOILERS FOR MIDNIGHT MASS ON NETFLIX I can suspend my disbelief pretty far, but it seems like the one thing I really can't ignore is people who live ostensibly in "our world" not knowing or acknowledging the mythical creature that appears in the story. My main example would be Midnight Mass, where apparently not a single person has ever heard of a vampire before.

    Mike Flanagan explained why he didn't use the word or have anyone realize it (one character did, but she didn't say it,) and I wasn't satisfied with his explanation. ""So, if we're drinking blood and eating flesh to stay alive forever, aren't we vampires?" Still loved the series.

    Naw. There's some dumb stuff in Marvel films, but this isn't a v good example. Thanos had an impossibly powerful artifact, the idea that Thor would want a super-powerful weapon is fine. The biggest dumb idea in those movies is the "I'll save the universe by killing half of all life forms." Arbitrary and nonsensical.

    Wow, no, you missed the mark on his story arc in both movies. The writing isn't (that) bad, but your comprehension is. Thor learns that his God Hood is a part of him, but he still needed to initiate Ragnarok to defeat Hela. Thanos was even stronger than Hela. The whole point of his beatdown was to show that.

    I mean Thanos' biggest inherent supeerpower is durability. Lightning wouldn't be able to take him out. Also, Thor didn't have access to moisture in outer space to generate lightning. What seemed stupid though,was Stormbreaker's handle conveniently being missing once Eitri broke the heated mould for it. And don't get me started on the fact that Stormbreaker should have cleaved Thanos' left arm and the Infinity Gauntlet in half when Thor threw it at him, instead of getting lodged in the latter's chest.

    I just watched Smile. The way this woman, a highly regarded and talented therapist, approaches the experience is ridiculous. She behaved more immature than the kids in It Follows. The disbelieving boyfriend trope is exaggerated to the douchebag husband in Paranormal Activity. I couldn’t get into it because it a plot made possible by the incredulity of dumb decisions layered on top of one another.

    She behaved immaturely because the whole movie is a metaphor for how trauma affects you. She had major trauma as a child and it affected every aspect of her life, including her decision making. She didnt act like a mature person because she wasnt a healthy and mature person, it was all a facade because it was hiding how damaged and traumatized she was even before the curse entered her life. Thats the entire point of the movie!! How did they miss it that bad?

    I think this can be explained by the book/movie sort of? For some of the weapons in the book/movie there is only one of that weapon. In games weapons/character skins can be put into categories like common/uncommon/rare/legendary, so some weapons/character skins are very hard to get. A character skin like Tracer and some others like Sonic and the Iron Giant who only have one version of them in the movie may have been hard to get rewards in the games in The Oasis. Just an idea 🤷‍♀️

Some women at that time probably did have long straight hair though, i had very straight long hair into my 30's with no need for hair straightners, i just let it grow and it looked like Juliets.

    Light year is a measure of distance, not time. And besides, any star that emits UV rays can give you a tan, not just our sun.

    Especially giant black holes. The highly energetic radiation surrounding them should be pretty deadly. Even through a ship hull, not mentioning a small planet orbiting Gargantua.

    Unless he went through some interstellar wormhole that took less than two weeks. In theory they COULD be exposed to UV lights onboard for their health. Not enough to look like you just spent a week in Bondi though.

    Interstellar got many things right. It's the sphere that's the right shape for a Stargate, not a circle. A circle might be good for traveling to other universes sharing two dimensions with ours.

    It's a toss up between that scene in Batman Returns when Bruce rips off the mask and the black eye makeup just disappeared or the chase scene late in the Dark Knight Rises and I recognized the street it was filmed on having gone to school and worked in Pittsburgh.

    It's not like they can go shoot on location in Gotham, so that one doesn't bother me. Btw. in a lot of cold war era films when the plot called for Moscow or Leningrad, they used Helsinki instead, because you couldn't get permits to film in the USSR and I think it's fun to recognize places from them

    Prague is often used to portray Victorian London.

    That last part was just silly. Like the latest Batman- I recognise it as Glasgow!

    Not a movie, but Netflix - Stay Close. Filmed in Blackpool and the surrounding area and the travel times made no damn sense at all!
