Scenes in films that are so illogical it really grates.

[Yetmorebeanstocount]

Eat Pray Love.
The two women have just discussed eating, muffin-tops, body image, etc, and Julia Roberts says to enjoy the pizza and just buy bigger jeans.

So in the next scene they are buying jeans, but doing that stereotypical-joke thing of lying on the changing room floor trying to pull up the zip on too-tight jeans.
Why? - that totally defeats the object.

I guess the male writer/director thought it would be a fun scene, that is how he imagines women always shop for jeans.
It just makes no sense in the context of the film.

What scenes really annoy you?

Any scene where someone needs to use an (asthma) inhaler, because they're anxious!

The medical adviser also needs to teach actors how to use the inhaler correctly.

Any scene between a woman & man having a disagreement, where the woman goes to walk away & the man physically stops her, by holding her wrist with his hand, or by putting his body/outstretched arm in front of her to stop her

Stop teaching men that this (restraint/assault) is not acceptable. Teach men to use their words...

Medics in films putting on surgical gloves are hilarious 😀

You can’t get a Chablis in a pub in Dudley even now 🤣

Many, many people are that stupid. Most common password is Password12345 or similar.

I think it's more that most ordinary people don't work for MI6 or something. There's nothing that exciting on my computer and I need a password I can remember.

My mum had that password. She never bought anything online and only used the computer for browsing the internet and ancestry site.

I followed Game of Thrones for years; the final episode was woeful and made no sense at all. I'm still suffering from the trauma!

It might be over-acting for dramatic effect, but I remember my father driving our old Utilabrake - no power steering - in the early 1960s and he had to turn the wheel more frequently and through greater angles than one would do in a modern car. It was hard work.
It also sometimes needed to be started with a crank.

Titanic - the fact that Rose loves him so much but would rather let him die than share the door she is floating on (completely ignoring the fact that old Rose is meant to be about 102 but looks 75)

Any film where the car driver talks to the passenger and looks directly at them for what seems like minutes. I'd be off the road and in a ditch or worse.

Everything where anyone walks into a dark house and doesn't flip on the light. Doesn't even try to find the switch.
Also binning food that they've just cooked because it's so vital they leave the house now. As if.

No she does not look 75. 90 as a minimum. I'm in my 70s and I can assure you I look nothing like old Rose.

@littleurnlottie
The actress was 86 at the time I think. I watched it with my kids recently and I’m sure I remember that coz they asked too. But she really does not look 75. Not at all. She looks great, but not in her 70s.

this might be a 'you' thing - I'm not particularly co-ordinated but I find it easy to do up necklaces at the back. Presumably the actresses are doing it in real time, so I don't really understand what's unrealistic about it!

Same with the hair - surely most people's partners don't do their hair for them so why would there be any correlation between living alone/your hair style. I can do pretty good french plaits etc - I just use a mirror to check the back...

Or that fact that she goes on to get married and have children with another bloke but when she dies she goes to Titanic heaven to reunite with a 48 hour teenage fling she could not be bothered to make room for on the floating wood instead of going to other heaven where her loving husband of several decades now resides who is now all alone on a cloud on his phone messaging Peter at the pearly gates asking where the fuck Rose is.

My father died when I was a child and my mother remarried. I didn't have any big issues with stepfather but I didn't particularly like him. The thing that worried me was who she'd be with in heaven. It really did concern me as a child. I didn't think it was fair if my dad ended up alone.

We live in hope! 😂

This, to the nth degree.

People complaining about Rose and the door… initially Jack DID try and get on, but the door started to tip so he slid off and held on instead. I don’t think either of them thought of hypothermia, just of Jack holding on.

Yes - they used prosthetics to make her look older because she was meant to be nearly 100.

Thank you!!
This whole door thing is one my bugbears.

Or the fact that when Rose comes back in the afterlife she and Jack are all done up nicely but the 3rd class passengers are all still in rags and maids still in their aprons etc. Doomed to be poor forever even in heaven.

I wondered what Rose did when she first got to America completely penniless (she didn't sell that necklace), with no belongings, knowing no-one and with zero support network. The passengers did receive compensation but not until three years later. I am assuming she didn't walk straight into an acting job. I remember wondering prostitution when I watched the film.

And why did she chuck that necklace into the sea? I am guessing it was some sort of metaphor, but it didn't really make any sense and dirt poor Jack was probably spinning in his watery grave!

I love that Rose travels everywhere with suitcases full of framed photos of herself, she’s like the original instagram influencer.

When I was a smoker I used to get annoyed at how people would light up a cigarette, smoke half and then put it out. Books were even worse, they would light up, say approximately 2 sentences and then put it out.
