Things in movies that don’t make sense...

[MrsWhites]

I was watching Ghost last night, Sam can’t touch/pick up anything but he can sit on a chair?? Took up far too much of my time today thinking about that!

Someone told me it was because it wouldn't have stayed afloat with two people on it. Maybe that's rubbish and they just said that to make me feel better. It didn't

Mythbusters tried it out. There was plenty of room and buoyancy. Guess class mattered to Rose after all 😄

Also, no one ever pays for their drinks in a bar.
They sit down at the bar, bar person serves them straight away (that's another thing - I always wait ages to get served, never happens in films), they'll say "whiskey" or whatever. Bar person dumps in in front of them and they down it.

You never see them fumbling for change or messing with the chip and pin machine!

But this is the way it really works in lots of bars in America. You pay at the end, like we do in restaurants. If you’re going on a mad sesh, you might settle your tab after about every 3 or 4 drinks. Otherwise it’s when you go.

I suppose they don’t often show the “paying the bill” part in restaurant scenes in movies either, unless it’s integral to the story.

Karate kid - his mother doesn't seem concerned that he's getting the shit beaten out of him every day? What?

@DurhamDurham

No one ever goes to the loo in films. Unless it's to be attacked and have their colleague run in to save them. I know no one wants to see someone on the toilet but we could at least see that they go.

I totally agree - especially when they wake up (looking sexy) and immediately start snogging and make mad, passionate love.

Don’t they have a full bladder and dog’s breath, or is that just me and DH ?

Definitely Parent Trap. And the girls just forgive both parents even thought they’ve been kept apart both from their other parent and their identical twin. No strop, no anger, no emotional fall out.

Not a film... Tv show.

OH was watching Diagnosis Murder with Dick Van Dyke and wondered why these Drs have the time to solve crimes... instead of doing their day jobs.

When a group are being chased by a crazy axe murderer “let’s split up” no way would I want to be on my own running through a dark forest, we’re going down together!!

I think this every time I see it in a film too

In "The Holiday" why does Kate Winslet have a hob kettle and not a normal plug in electric kettle like everyone else in the UK. Yes, I have watched it so many times that I have noticed this one tiny problem. I am a sad individual.

Also a TV show.... but Monica and Jon Favreau going to Italy for a date. Just for the evening like you can “pop” there. No time difference or long flight mentioned? And why did she have her passport on her? And some lira?

@EscapeTheCastle I have a hob kettle and I'm in the UK.

@EscapeTheCastle yes!! Sooo ridiculous and where an earth does she live that is that close to London but also only accessed across 2 fields!

In Titanic, at the end when old Rose is looking back at her long and well lived life, the camera pans across a lovely collection of her photos from over the decades. Rose looking adventurous on a horse, Rose looking beautiful in a portrait, and so on.

So she's packed and displayed several silver plated photos of HERSELF around her cabin and no photos of her kids, husbands, grandkids? Just her, looking awesome? Slightly narcissistic and self absorbed behaviour?

Also in the UK and have a hob kettle. I don't have enough worktop space for a plug in.

CatBatCat you have? Are you also spending Christmas in LA this year? Do you also like christmas fettuccini? Do you fancy Jack Black?

captainprincess Its filmed in Shere in Surrey which has no direct train link to London!!!!! Kates commute would drive her to the brink of insanity or maybe just into the arms of Jack Black.

God, I love that movie!

We rewatched Four Weddings last night.
Just two words: Andie McDowell.
Rest of the movie is great, she is just so wrong.

Agree with previous posters re Clueless. Yuck!!

Yeah that Italy date confuses me. Like the jet lag would be awful.

The holiday- agree with Kate's commuting.

I general it annoys me when people go to a restaurant then don't even bother to eat for whatever reason.

@TimeStoleMyYouth

I can confirm it's not just you and your dh. I need a wee as soon as I've opened my eyes. Sometimes before I've even managed to open them

Home Alone...

How did the burglars not die from their injuries?!

Why didn't the family on realising they left their son alone back in America, call the relevant authorities to look after him until they could get back?

Pretty woman...Viviane was beautiful, articulate, not on drugs...why would she be a street prostitute? If she was going to work in the sex industry, surely she'd have at least been a high class escort?

A James Bond film (can't remember which one) where there was a warning about -300°.

Absolute zero is -273°.

Really pissed me off.

How did Bridget Jones afford her property?

How come James Bond is a top spy? Everyone knows him and everyone is always expecting him.

Any film where some computer whiz presses a few buttons and has somehow managed to hack into the White House or something.

Yes! I was ranting about this to DD1 the other day.
The policeman knocks on the door and thinks no one is home and says ‘Tell the lady to count her kids again’....
Surely he would go IN to the house to check if the abandoned child is there ffs!
And breathe....
