Why does that happen?

[Vodstok]

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...

for things to make sense scientifically - even as a 'what if' scenario it would require thought from outside the box.

the money machines that make movies are incapable of that ...

but then again so is 99% of all audiences ..


you think the masses care ? stupid fuckers just want car crashes and blondes with big tits

the trouble with these errors is that they are so strikingly apparant and obvious to the thinker at the movies, who likes to analyse what they're watching, whilst they are watching the film... I'm like this all the time, I pull films to bits in my mind and whilst this is a good thing, it can sometimes degrade my viewing pleasure, because I'm too busy picking up on the wrong things and not enjoying the film like I should be. I have to get myself in the right frame of mind beforehand, so I enjoy the film.

then on the otherhand you have the people who are happy with just sitting in the cinema, motionless and thoughtless untill the film credits roll, and they say to their partner..."like that was a cool movie" lets go home. these are the poeple who the filmmakers like to entertain.

i call them 'the lowest common denominator'

they're just thrilled they could understand it.

when a movie shoots over their heads and they dont understand it they say 'the movie was stupid'

three words for you: hit nail head.

absoluto fucking correctomundo.

Infuriates me when I read reviews or hear people say how'crap' they thought a film was, when their fucking insignificant fucking brain cells, can't even comprehend what they've just watched, and go about slating a film, as they haven't got any capability in understanding what they've just watched.

I was looking at rotten tomatoes yesterday, reading some of the reviews of frailty. most were good, but the few bad ones seemed to be from people who either didnt get it, or seemed pissed off they didnt think of it first.

One dsaid "The picture doesnt knwo its a comedy"

Obviously, that guy doesnt know he's a moron.

have you been over to imdb recently, you have to register now to read members comments.... I'm glad they've done that, I used to get drawn into reading the shite that some of the posters typed.
