The most advanced universal translators can successfully translate Vulcan and Romulan languages into Federation standard English but cannot handle thick Russian accents.
That's a wery good point ~ IcyNeko / link
Never ignore nerds or geeks with creative ideas, they come back at you with a vengence.
I think they should have learn't that in batman forever. ~ qwkslvr / link
Stark has all types of armor suit weapons for any situation, but he never ever thought about equipping his house with any sort of defense system from even straight forward missile attacks.
That from a guy who till recently made his living from building missiles. ~ qwkslvr / link
The Ewoks made a dress for Leia... George Lucas has explicitly stated there is no underwear in space... dude, I think the ewoks totally saw Leia naked...

Wookiees make excellent peace offerings to intergalactic mob bosses.

The Dictatores and Terrorist Leaders you see on TV are only Scapecoats. They actually are british Actors with a drug problem who sit in a fancy Villa with minimal security watching Soccer games in there Bathrobes.
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or think it was a slap to the face of comic book followers. ~ agentdc7 / link
Apparently 2027 didn't have the tech to have Terminator go back in time with infinite cash.
Infinite cash? They couldn't even send a pair of speedos with him. ~ qwkslvr / link
Your landlady has no problem opening your door to FedEx employees carrying boxes labelled "poison" and other highly suspicious words.
If fedex didn't have any problems, why should she? ~ qwkslvr / link
If a crashing ship is about to roll on you, run parallel with the path it's going rather than off to the side.
I love how she tripped, then got away by rolling over a few feet. ~ Meushell / link
The aliens on the other planet will surely be happy to welcome Dr Shaw. After all it's not like they were going to destroy humanity the last time.
Lol. It could have been a rouge group. She's probably doomed though. ~ Meushell / link
Bird poop works just as well as hair gel!
That's all I ever think about when I saw that guy. ~ agentdc7 / link
Jon Voight makes everything better.
He couldn't save Ned Beatty from being rapped by hilbillys now could he. ~ Max / link
Paralegals make $11 an hour and apparently are able to own a house with no child support.
You forgot the child, music lessons, and weekly drinks at the bar ~ nee / link
It is almost guaranteed that about the only thing scary in this film is a dead guy with his eyes poked out.
Blood and gore doesn't make a horror movie. If anything it makes the movie less scary and more goofy . Horror comes from suspense and shock (and I don't mean jump scares). ~ Max / link
Prozium does not keep one from being a complete kiss ass.
Well spotted....LMAO ~ Movie Genius / link
The Magic Mirror might not know how to answer the question, "does this cape make me look fat?"
This is one of the best learnings - hilarious! XD ~ Movie Genius / link
No one made the connection that when Batman disappeared so did Bruce Wayne.
Must be some kind of coincidence :) ~ Movie Genius / link
If you and your groomsmen are late to a wedding, passing a tuxedo company van on the freeway who happens to have tuxes fitted for you can be a plus.
Damn, I accidently voted it up. You should know that your learning is bad and you should feel bad. ~ randy / link
The thousands of police officers descending into the tunnels carrying assault rifles, shotguns, explosives, and ballistic armor emerge with a handful of pistols, no armor, and pristine uniforms, primed and ready to ignore their urban focused training, shun cover and tactics, form into tightly bunched lines in front of enemies with automatic weapons and tanks and march stoicly forward into a rain of bullets, and end up losing approximately 5 men.
The dumbest scene in this movie, indeed. ~ randy / link
When you're being chased by nine blind dudes with swords, put pillows on your beds so that when they stab in the bed, they think they killed you.
Yep. Aragorn is the master of pranks. ~ randy / link

A race that could only put up a 9 minute fight during the initial invasion will be able to take back their planet in less than 48 hours with the same technology and only an eighth of the manpower.
Eighth of the manpower? There was just a bunch of savages as far as I know... ~ randy / link
How does Doc Ock survive punches to the face from Spiderman who can hold up a building? The doc was a mortal with robot tentacles on his back.
you dont get this site, do you ~ randy / link
He's Batman. He can survive getting shot in the head, with no consequences other than being unconscious for a few hours.
After a while, I actually read somewhere that there's a big chunk of deleted scenes that involves him getting amnesia temporarily and then remembering. ~ agentdc7 / link
Batman may be the first guy in the world ever to smile after being turned down for sex by a woman as scorching hot as Chase Meridian.

Split head zombie dogs won't attack you if you stand perfectly still.

Jason Statham had to do a you-blink-and-you-miss kind of cameo in this movie.
What? ~ bourbonphantom / link
It only took a few people to stop and destroy the alien attackers while everybody else in the world just carried on with their normal lives.
Actually, according to the news in the movie, they took the opportunity to riot. Which, come to think of it, is the stupidest thing to do when there is what, at the time, was a localized threat.
It made about as much sense as, say, people in South Africa rioting because an earthquake hit Chile. ~ kvn8907 / link
In the 74 years of the Hunger Games, apparently there's never been a lucky tribute who wasn't present at the reaping. Because let's face it - that would just be awkward.

Ripping off other movies and books will make your movie millions from mostly 13 year old girls.
You do realize that just because someone else wrote a book that had a similar premise does not in fact make it a ripoff. Battle Royale is hardly the first book about people fighting to the death in an arena. Ever take a look at history? The original Blood Games faught during the Roman Empire? ~ NateSean / link
People that have not read the books do not understand plot nuances.
Nor should they have to. Movies and books are seperate mediums and should stand on their own. ~ NateSean / link
A mother in Panem will barely even flinch when her daughter is pretty much sentenced to die.
In their defense, that's the life they're forced to live. ~ NateSean / link
I love how, when Pepper's keycard won't get her into Obadiah's hidden lab, Agent Coulson very casually puts his hand out and gets a bomb put in it. Without even turning around, or saying anything.

Don't use a cattle prod if you're standing in a puddle and a chimp is aiming a fire hose at you.
That advice is much too specific. ~ kvn8907 / link
Applying brain-enhancing therapy to animals (apes, sharks, dogs...) ALWAYS goes wrong. Virus-based gene therapy ends up either creating zombies or wiping out the human race... or both.
When the scientist said he created an Alzheimer's cure, but as testing it on animals first, I nearly shouted at the screen, "What? Haven't you seen the movie Deep Blue Sea?" ~ kvn8907 / link
If you were a super-intelligent ape, you'd want to so desperately live in a forest without fruit trees or any other type of food substance that not only would you cross the heavily-trafficked Golden Gate Bridge to get there, but you'd apparently pass right through tree-laden Golden Gate Park, possibly through tree-laden Lincoln Park and finally through the tree-laden Presidio, not to mention the gargantuan tree-laden foothills of the San Francisco Fish and Game Refuge bordering San Bruno WHERE THE PRIMATE SHELTER WAS LOCATED!
Maybe he found a tree he really liked, grew attached to it, and named it. Called it Barkley. No other tree would do. ~ kvn8907 / link
Smartness drugs will make you able to lead a rebellion TELEPATHICALLY!
Yep. Even with the help of zoo primates that have never smelled a whiff of smart gas. ~ kvn8907 / link
If you're infected with a deadly new virus, keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone. Don't bother trying to get help immediately and let it spread to everyone you come into contact with.
In the scene where his fat coworker is like "Chimps have a great immune system. I, however, am coming down with a cold" or something to that effect, my response was "That has to be the shittiest, least secure company in the world. No one should trust that company with anything that can't be seen by the naked eye." ~ kvn8907 / link
Even if you don't have the throat structure for speech, you can still learn to talk if you're smart enough.
Here I thought I was the only one a little bothered by that, since I took a semester of Human Evolution and we spent at least one full class on comparative throat structure. ~ kvn8907 / link
Rocky + Over The Top + Transformers + a dollop of shlt = Real Steel

Don't touch God's stuff. He will either suck you out like a vacuum, blow off your head, or melt your face.
God will melt your face if you even look at his stuff, but he loves you. ~ Max / link
Use a real 17 year-old actor instead of a 27 year-old one.
At least Tobey Maguire was more convincing as an outcast than Garfield who I think was too attractive looking to be an outcast. It's high school. Everyone judges by plain appearance. If your not attractive looking, you'll have no friends. If you look attractive, but a jerk, you'll have tons of friends still. It's how high school works. ~ Max / link
Jon Voight makes everything better.
Transformers by Michael Bay had no potential to begin with. Jon Voight can't save us here. ~ Max / link
Can Buffy and Van Helsing make a cameo and kill all of these people.
Hugh Jackman or Peter Cushing Van Helsing? ~ Max / link
Take one of the greatest action films ever made, take what made it great, and rape it. Rape it to death. Take the realism of the first three movies and just rape it. People are stupid, right? They won't know the difference. Just slap Die Hard on the title. They won't mind.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. It was a rape. Like running into an old friend and quickly realizing he's become a meth-head. ~ AshBlaze / link
The password to the mainframe of your gameworld is probably the Contra 30 lives code.

Machines are smart enough to speak English, yet they are not smart enough to know who is the leader of the APU's and kill him first, instead he's almost the last they kill.
That's the theme in most sc-fi movies. ~ qwkslvr / link
Apparently in the future, machines don't have access to a single picture of their main nemesis. I suppose Google's world domination efforts didn't go that well.
I meant the picture of their main nemesis's mother. ~ qwkslvr / link
So, did Valtane die (as in the Voyager flashback episode), or *didn't* he? Because he was very much alive at the end of Star Trek VI.
SciFi Debris covered that in his review. You should check it out. ~ NateSean / link
Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character, was apparently an ancestor of Spock's. Good to know.
Or, as Sherlock Holmes was based on this person, Spock's ancestor may have been Doctor Joseph Bell. ~ NateSean / link
Humans believe Shakespeare was one of them; Klingons believe Shakespeare was one of them... surely, that sort of thing has to be independently verifiable.
I just can't wait for the new Doctor Who/Trek crossover comics to make a reference. ~ NateSean / link
People in the future are apparently accustomed to giant Lycans jumping all over and around moving cars.
Sort of justified by the opening scenes and the fact that the police have an alert for non-human aggressors. ~ NateSean / link
Selena can land gracefully on her feet when falling straight down from extreme heights, but rolling off the top of an 18-wheeler just knocks her right out.
In fairness, she wasn't prepared for the truck to stop. ~ NateSean / link
I believe I saw this movie before, but it was called "Blade 2."
Except that Underworld: The Awakening was whiter than a polar bear convention in a snow storm. ~ NateSean / link
After 200 years, the keys to being successful in the Fishing Business are exactly the same.
Go to sea. Catch fish. Can fish. Sell fish. Not terribly complicated. ~ NateSean / link
If you need to get home the good witch will give the most dangerous route home and just tell you the easy way home that only takes a few seconds after you already made it through the hard way. Biggest plot hole in movie history, I think.
It's only a plot hole if you believe the "Good Witch" wasn't using Dorothy to take out the only other threat to her power. ~ NateSean / link
The writers apparently had so little respect for Deep Space Nine that not only did it not get a movie, but the Defiant appeared for two minutes here just to get its tail kicked.
And it was built to fight the Borg lol ~ mr cool / link

Middle aged Indian chemists make horrible drivers.. they will recklessly drive a white van full of sleeping people across a city, do 360 degree offroad spins, and arrive at a drawbridge just to end up plunging into the river

If only the aliens had AVG, McAfee, or Kapersky anti-virus; they would own the planet.
Or atleast a decent operating system. Not windows 3.1 ~ qwkslvr / link
M has apparently been ejected before and is not bothered at all by the notion of it.
I think she secretly wanted a pre mature ejection from Bond. ~ john2012 / link
It is really safe to be given a suitcase that probably has about a few million euros in it.

It is entirely possible to put a valuable diamond in someone's coat pocket, have that jacket go through every imaginable thing under the sun and still have that same diamond in your pocket at the end of the movie. Nevermind that you went for several swims, ran around a sinking ship for almost an hour, climbed to the top of a vertically standing vessel through a crowd of people falling to their deaths, and were sucked under water by the force of a ship weighing several tons (all while still wearing the jacket.)
Hilarious... and true. :) Nice one. ~ blacksparrow65 / link
Don't use a hammer made to magically fix things to break out of a jail cell.
Fixing things isn't the solution to everything, remember that. ~ Movie Genius / link
When you're trying to convince your co-workers that you're not really bad and just want a piece of cake, it's probably not a good idea to lose your temper and smash said cake.
Yeah, but it's also not a good idea to frustrate him since he is much bigger than everyone else and will likely beat the hell out of you. ~ Movie Genius / link
If Fix-It Felix's magic hammer can fix anything, including his face when someone punches it, couldn't it have fixed Vanellope's glitch?
Surely that's the type of thing that can't fix everything. I mean, just because it's a magic hammer it can suddenly fix everything? Maybe her glitch was more than just her physical appearance. ~ Movie Genius / link
Pressurized doors can only be propped open by 2 people. No one else is allowed to help.

There's a reason Gene Hackman wanted nothing to do with this film.
He was actually upset at the producers for firing Richard Donner from the 2nd one. Same thing with Margot Kidder, which is why she's more of a cameo. ~ agentdc7 / link
The Richard Donner Cut is better.
Yes, much better, even if it's partially incomplete. ~ agentdc7 / link

A broken back can be healed enough in about 3 months that if you fall repeatedly from a great height with a rope tied around your body, gravity and said rope won't cause your back to break again. In fact, if your back has ever been broken, it will heal stronger than a person's back that's never been broken.
Don't forget that it will also heal cartilage in knees. ~ bigred3002 / link
One nuclear bomb would have ended the movie.
A nuke through the shield? Did I mention there was an impenetrable shield? ~ bigred3002 / link
