Sounds convincing... Wait a minute...

Okay,t his is the place for lines in movies that sounded really good the first time you heard it, but then eventually you realised it made no sense or was completely retarded.

the worst offender for me comes from The Lost World. Set aside the fact that Julianne Moore ruined my favorite character from the book, this line bugs the shit out of me:

(regarding the t-rex after the boat carrying it has run aground and it is loose) you gave it a stimulant after administering a sedative? That thingis in a narcoleptic state now, it's a locomotive (okay, not exact, but you get the picture)

So what we are to believe is that giving uppers to a t-rex after giving it downers is going to make it narcoleptic, which somehow turns it into a crazy beast on a rampage.

narcolepsy is a state where if some one (or thing, i guess) gets too stimulated, it loses all muscle function and basically passes out. it's not the random snoozing they showed in Deuce Bigalow, so if you are doing a research project on the subject, you might want to scratch that off your list of resources.

so basically, it is now narcoleptic, so the second it gets owrked up, it's going to pass out. Whats the problem? Show it a steak. then scoop it up.
