I asked this in another thread, so i figured it would be a good topic on its own. This is about weird-ass conventions they use in movies that when you think about it, they never really make sense, and you are just supposed to accept it.


first off:
if the villain is the spirit of a person killed by fire, and already they are charred extra tasty crispy, why are they always as flammable as dry tissue, and is their one "weakness". not only is it not very original, but it is kind of retarded when you think about it. They are a) already burned and b) already dead. Have you ever tried burning that dried out, carbonized black shit that's left over from a campfire? you cant, can you? because it is a) already burned and, well, you get the picture.

And no, i dont buiy the whole "its thematic" or "Symbolic" excuse. Its bullshit and bad writing. so there :p


next... How come, in every movie that involves aliens (yes, this encompases many of my most favorite titles) do they seem to have the same basic nutritional requirements, as well as breathing requirements? I know there is that theory that only basically Earth-like planets could spawn/support life, but cmon. Would humans really be that nutritious to giant space bugs or man-sized space lizards?

And is english so universally accepted that even people from other planets can speak it?

I think the Simpsons covered that base pretty well in the first treehouse of horror.
"You guys speak english?"
"No, actually we are speaking rigellian, which by an amazing coincidence, is exactly like your language."



Here is one directed specifically at M Night Shymalan (yeah, you asshole). Why the FUCK would an alien race that has a severe NEGATIVE reaction to water, decvide to colonize a planet where 2/3 of its surface is covered by the shit? Christ, all that mankinfd would have needed was for the invasion to happen during El Nino and shit would have been over before it started...
