lets name some film inconsistencies

[xXSp1cyN1njaXx]

here are some:

in predators 2010, skinny Adrian brody beats the living shit of a super predator with a tiny hammer. but in the original movie Arnold Schwarzenegger hits a normal predator a giant tree branch and punches it but he just shrugs it off.

in Friday the 13th part 7, Jason looks like he has more of a normal person's head rather than a deformed one.

in crank 2, Statham goes through the whole movie getting electrocuted without a single scratch, except the end of the movie where he finally catches on fire because the plot demanded it.

in one of the Crocodile Dundee movies, Mick is narrating and says that he doesn't know when he was born, only that it was "in the summertime"
if that's the case, how does he get a passport?
you have to know your birthday to get a passport

The vampire-woman-burning-in-the-sun scene is different in Underworld 1 and 3.

I thought that blood memories never lied.

[Natick]

in american hustle, irving rosenthal and sydney prosser run a loan business that scams their clients out of a $5,000 fee for a $50,000 return that they never pay back. the selling point to draw the clients in is for sydney prosser to put on a british accent and claim to be "lady edith greensly" with royal banking connections. on the sidelines, they sell fake paintings to pass them off as authentic, using the same posh british accent trick. there are no further credentials for this lady edith greensly character, just an accent.

how the hell did they last so much as two weeks working in an impoverished area during the 70's without being shot full of holes and the business torched to the ground?

I never understood the Alien series. The first Alien, their ship stops halfway to some foreign planet, then they find the Xenomorph on it. But then in Alien 2 people were already colonized on the planet?

I don't remember in which one it was but in an old Superman movie Superman reverses time to save Lois because he had saved a town instead in his first try, therefore Superman let hundreds or maybe thousands of innocent people die just to save Lois.

1. There's no such thing as Alien 2. The sequels to Alien is Aliens.

2. It's explained right at the start that Ripley had been floating through space in stasis for 57 years after the events of the first film. The colony had been settled within that time period.

3. There is no 3. 2 answered your question and 1 allowed me to be a douche so my work here is done.

I know that, I just said that so people could understand easier.

That still doesn't make any sense.

Your work is not done.

In Stand by Me Ace would have definitely murdered Gordie, and all of those other cunts

There's certainly inconsistencies in Men In Black 3 and Donnie Darko; but I will have to get back to you on exactly what they are because they are overly complex; and more of a paradox

[SithCorduroy]

In TMNT 2 why is Shredder so obsessed with killing the turtles when it was actually Splinter who defeated him?

In Lawrence of Arabia when the Arabs bomb the first Turkish train, the entire train derails and all the cars tip over. Later the cars are all upright and on the track.

I don't see how I could possibly be mad, you're making assumptions based on nothing.
So basically, you really are retarded.

Fight over. Both of you.

Ok, something relevant to the topic. Shield didn't show up in Iron Man three. They were in both the other movies but when Tony takes on an actual terrorist the security agency is nowhere to be seen.

The original ship in Alien 1, the Nostromo, was warping faster-than-light back to Earth after mining a distant planet. During FTL travel, crew members are kept in a state of deep sleep which reduces their metabolic processes, so that time essentially does not pass for them. They were awoken from their deep slumber halfway through their journey to respond to a signal originating from the planet with the Xenomorph.

After the first film ends, the Nostromo has been destroyed and Ridley is in this state of deep sleep. As the only survivor of the events of Film 1, no one has told Earth or Weyland-Yutani about the xenomorphs. Since she could not have told Earth about the events 57 years prior, the past 57 years have been spent colonizing known planets. She also has not aged, but the world around her has. And the progress of the human effort to colonize other habitable planets has continued in her absence. She didn't die, she slept for 57 years while Earth kept settling and mining other planets. Other planets were settled during the 57 years she was in hypersleep. Because she was asleep for 57 years, no one on Earth knew that the planet was a dangerous place. During her 57 years of deep sleep, people tried to settle the planet.

Ooga booga booga.

In Hollywood, film producers count numerous denominations despite not having made anything of value.

Easy target, but...

In Avatar, the English decide to hunt the natives for their resources.

Wait. Sorry. That was Pocahontas.

In Avatar, the humans decide to hunt the natives for their unobtainium.

For some reason, they decide to attack the Smurf (sorry, Navi) settlement because the area under their sacred tree is rich in unobtainium. Of course, they could have simply traveled to one of the nearby floating mountain ranges where massive veins of the element are enough to cause colossal chunks of land to rise above the ground. Actually, that would have really simplified the mining process because the deposits would be much easier to identify and mine...

In reality, everyone planning the mission was a disgruntled Legend of Zelda fan.

Hey, listen!

This actually happens in solid resource mining. Companies lease or rent the exploration rights to small plots in an area and use computers to determine the shape and distribution of mineral resources in the area. They don't buy the rights to mind until they've found the plot with the core of the resources. There are many reasons for it, but basically it's less expensive to play with money above ground and hope yo buy the mining rights for the most concentrated deposits than it is to shell out mining rights for satellite deposits which would contain more slag which costs money to remove during processing and then dispose with. Also, it's explained during the film that they've had trouble making the unobtainium from smaller deposits worth mining. Especially when faced by the prospect of mining an enormous deposit of the stuff.

Think of it like this. Nobody goes into backyards in North America to harvest iron ore from granite. That iron can still be used to demonstrate principles of electromagnetism, but it's mixed in with a lot of other elements. Instead, profit-seekers probe around to find the highest concentration and maximize the efficiency.

Okay that kind of make sense, but the point I was trying to make is of all the planets out there it's kind of a coincidence they colonized that one in the previous film. It's just seemed too convenient.

I would argue that Weyland did know as the crew were ordered to investigate, and they did not care whether it was dangerous. Moreover, that is probably why families were sent to colonize there in the first place.

But perhaps that is just me looking too much into it, but how else would you explain them finding that planet again in the entire universe, and it's hard for me to believe that once Mother intercepted the transmission that it wasn't also sent to their employer. Ash corresponded with them from the very beginning.

There's a fine line between reasoning and making excuses for these writers, though lol.

I can't remember where I read the overall plot, but basically Weyland-Yutani pays poor people to fix their machines and settle planets while they're being terraformed. That's not the only planet which has been colonized, but it's also not the only planet which has been visited by the Engineers. The engineers have built infrastructure and taken over so many solar systems that their power is supposed to be frighteningly omnipotent. The entire literature has been standardized by James Cameron, it might be in book format.

Anyway, she was picked up not-too-far from the planet because she was in orbit in that solar system. She didn't have a ship powerful enough to leave.

I prefer the name Space Jockey

And there's an inconsistency:
Didn't imagine the "Engineer" from Prometheus to look the way they did.

I'm sure Weyland knew that there was something anomalous, but he didn't know anything from after Ash's treachery.

I don't think it's you "looking too much into" anything. I think it's you not understanding basic astronomy.

The entire universe?? Do you realize how insulting to common sense that is?? Obviously they're not traveling farther than our local star cluster to find resources and planets to settle. They're not even leaving a sliver of our spiral arm of the Milky Way. It would take millions of years to go far enough to lose track of any specific star. That's like walking down the street to a bodega and then expecting to never find the same store ever again, because if you tried you're pretty sure you'd end up in Djibouti or Polynesia. Actually, it's like dropping your cell phone in a couch and expecting to find it in orbit around Neptune.

It's not a writer's job to hold your hand through the entire movie.
