Star Trek Into DarknessAfter believing a vengeful terrorist who is extremely skilled at fighting, your red shirted guards won't question this fact and walk with him completely unarmed, which doesn't help the fact that he might decide to flip out. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Star Trek Into DarknessRather than question whether you should be allowing yourself to obey a villain who you have just taken prisoner for trial on Earth, do exactly what he says. Since he is a vengeful terrorist who has just killed people in order to fulfill his motives, let him go with you completely unguarded, or more specifically, guarded without armed personnel, onto another ship with which he will wreak more havoc and get more revenge once he has escaped. link

OblivionJack is the only one that has weird dreams about a certain woman in his past, yet he wasn't told of the actual truth and specifically the motives of the TET. Why is it about this woman in particular? link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

OblivionWhen you've been captured by a team you believe to be the enemy, the best comeback you have in refusing to programme a drone to destroy the TET is 'screw you'. link

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

OblivionJack decided to go off with this other woman he'd found so Victoria got jealous and no longer felt like an effective team. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

OblivionWhen you are shot by a drone, you literally disappear into thin air. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

OblivionWhen Julia has a child, although Jack might be the father, that particular clone is dead, so even if there are other clones of him, they still aren't technically the father, even though they share the same DNA. Try explaining THAT to her when she grows up. link

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Birds, TheIt is almost guaranteed that about the only thing scary in this film is a dead guy with his eyes poked out. link
Rating: -1 (+0/-1)

EquilibriumThe system is actually quite stupid considering they thought that just in case one of their Clerics betrayed them, they would be fine even though this particular Cleric is highly trained and can kill however many soldiers and sweepers you deploy, therefore using you against yourself because you decided to train them. Next time, find a better way to keep these types of people in check before they go on a murderous rampage for revenge. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

EquilibriumTrain someone to be a First-Class Grammaton Cleric and you don't expect them to suddenly defend themselves by killling everyone when they gain the ability to feel and betray the entire system they were trained by. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Kind Hearts and CoronetsEven better: Either don't write your memoirs or write about something that doesn't involve murdering people. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Kind Hearts and CoronetsNote to self: Never leave your incriminating memoirs inside your jail cell once you are released. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Kind Hearts and CoronetsOnce you've killed 8 people of the D'Ascoyne family, the fact that they died consecutively in perhaps a quick manner should render people pretty suspect. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Kind Hearts and CoronetsIt becomes quite ironic and perhaps dangerously close that you are charged with only the murder of your friend's husband rather than the 8 people you just killed. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

EquilibriumPreston never takes out his interval before he brushes his teeth. Remember that. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

EquilibriumPeople have no concept of emotion, no concept of friendship, yet they use these types of words as if they have no meaning to them whatsoever. Which is basically confusing. link

Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Les MisérablesIt is actually possible to free someone who kept you prisoner for 19 years and for him to end up killing himself instead of waging war on you. Psychological warfare, people. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Les MisérablesChildren are amazing to use in a war, like figuring out who are the good guys and who are not and being messengers, until they suddenly decide to think it's a great idea to step in front of soldiers holding guns and have no idea what they're doing. Then they're pretty dumb. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Les MisérablesI'm trying to find out how Marius and Jean got clean after going through the sewers - They seemed pretty covered in the stuff when they got out. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Les MisérablesJean Valjean reminds me that there was still faith in humanity in the early 19th century. link

Les MisérablesI'm sure the innkeeper and his wife were pretty convincing when they forgot a child's name, named after a vegetable. link

Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

SkyfallNobody will care if you blow up half the London Underground. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

SkyfallStrangely, if you jump onto the back of a train, the mortified staff will let you on. It will easily convince them if you're there to check for health and safety, because, strangely, that's what health and safety people do to get on a train. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)
