Things you've taken from films that weren't the point

[DoDoDoooooo]

Elsa and Anna's parents were shockingly awful...

Any others?

Any massacre must be accompanied by classical music. The Flower Duet being a special favourite.

If there's a woman she will always do something very stupid and then somebody must save her. Especially if they have met only a minute before. Because love, you know.

And if somebody has been killed and is very obviously very dead, especially with his head cut off, somebody will always ask "honey, are you ok?"

There’s a little Turkish supermarket near me that imports them from Turkey. Go to the independent greengrocers, not Tesco.

I must admit I thought the same

That's the entire premise of BTTF 2. Just with a Sports Almanac, rather than lottery numbers.

They get the lottery numbers in 'The Time Travellers Wife' too.

family guy do a good sketc about bttf and marty looking like that boy they met when they were younger

apparently youre not meant to gain anything buy travelling time the universe punishes you or somthing

I’m sure it could have dropped them half way.

The USB always goes in correctly the first time. In real life it's always the third time

"FiveNineFive
Because the Eagles were very powerful beings and Sauron would have sensed them.

I’m sure it could have dropped them half way."

I'm just wondering where, even to Lothlorien and so avoid Caradhras and the Mines of Moria. You perhaps wouldn't have needed the same number as part of the Fellowship, but I still think spies would have spotted them and passed word early on. Secrecy (and distraction) was needed for them to have a chance.

However. that would have meant Gandalf 'survived' (he did survive, obviously) but I mean to go with them. He needed to be out of the picture, door a time, for the rest of the story to unfold as it did. Similarly to when Gandalf was held prisoner by Saruman, and possibly even at the end during the scouring of the Shire.

I think this needs its own thread!

P.S. pp who mentioned it was too long! I thought it wasn't long enough! The addition of Tom Bombadil and the scouring of the Shire would have been very welcome, in my opinion.

*for a time, not door.

BTTF and Marty didnt his future DM try and kiss him.

So didn't she remember the weird Calvin Klein boy who is the image of her son.
( I'm way too invested in this😂)

And why was Doc the only one to know him back then.

Legally blonde. Didn't win case because clever but because knew about hair. Although didn't watch it properly as wanted to poke own eyes out. Kids say I totally missed the point of the film

Ah I love this - the real love story is 50 years of marriage.
Made me well up (my parents will celebrate their 60 years next year 😍)

*And why was Doc the only one to know him back then"
Because Marty hadn't been born yet in 1955, so nobody knew him.
Including the Doc.
Which is why he shut the door on him when he turned up at his house claiming to be from the future and he's the only one who can help him.
"Goodnight, future boy!"
Doc, the bruise, the bruise on your head! I know how that happened! You were standing on your toilet hanging a picture and you fell. Which is when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitator.
Which.... Is what makes time travel possible."
At which point the door reopens as how the heck would he know all that if he wasn't telling the truth?!
Didn't even need Google for that quote, I may or may not have seen this film far too many times lol

@Bednobsbroomsticks

Legally blonde. Didn't win case because clever but because knew about hair
Yes, love Legally Blonde but totally agree!
Also how she knew the defendant couldn't have been shagging the pool boy because at the water fountain when she was tapping her feet impatiently behind him he was automatically be like *don't you go tapping your last season Prada at me, honey!"
So instant work out that he's gay and hot foots it back into the court room 🙄😂

I've a soft spot for Legally Blonde as a lawyer who gets underestimated because I'm quite girly and into cute fluffy things, and I really like that she wins the case because of her appreciation of something is traditionally seen as the domain of the 'bimbo' (rather than because she's super serious and cold). It's not just that she understands hair treatment, but the science underpinning it. It's also an insanely good cross-examination so I'm biased.

I hate the part where they out the guy on the stand though (posted about it earlier on the thread). It's so homophobic and has dated horribly compared to other parts of the film.

It was always the black sidekick - kind, fun man, with loving wife and cute kids, a real family guy - guaranteed to be bumped off in the first quarter. So predictable. Not quite so bad nowadays.

Such a great film and the sequels

Loved the musical as well

Loved the musical as well
I would love to see the musical, just hoping it comes a bit closer to here first 🙂

No matter how busy the cabaret club may be, you can always get a table right next to the stage so that the torch singer can stand behind your chair and drop an earring in your JD and Coke.

Though you and your junior detective sidekick have spent two hours driving out to the huge country house, the best time to tell him why you're there is in the ten seconds between you ringing the doorbell and the butler answering it.

It takes about fifteen seconds to buy a plane ticket 'to anywhere' so that you can get flight side to propose to the women who's about to fly to Paris to take up a prestigious job with Chanel (or, if it's a bloke, Interpol).

In movies, there's no application of the real-life Law of the Universe that states that phones and biros can't both work at the same time.

All recently-shagged women look good in a man's shirt at breakfast.

All police forces could save a fortune if, whenever there's a murder, they arrest the person with the best alibi, not being in the country for preference.

That I am the only person who 's first thought if I could time travel in to the future, would be to buy a lottery ticket.
Ditto wearing men's clothes. I have never woken up and put dh 's shirt on, why would I?

That's the entire premise of BTTF 2. Just with a Sports Almanac, rather than lottery numbers

yea but in a different context, I meant why didn't Marty or Doc get the Sports Almanac for themselves?

Because Doc told him not to interfere with the timeline.

He was very clear about that
Which is why the timeline needed cleaning up

In Blair Witch project, who the hell getting chased through the woods at night in sheer terror and your initial reaction is to pick up the big camera and keep filming?

In Back to the Future when Marty goes back to 1955, he buys a Pepsi with the money in his pocket-where did he get 50s money?

In Scream 1, why the hell would Sidney have gone home alone the night after her classmate and boyfriend were both brutally murdered in a home invasion double murder?

In Scream 2 why didn't Cici (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) go to the party with her room mate after she started getting the scary calls and how could the killer have totally ambushed the 2 special agent's used to protect Sydney, they were both useless.

In Halloween, how the hell does Michael always manage to survive despite receiving huge fatal injuries?

In Terminator 2 we discover that Skynet had used parts of the Terminator corpse found in the factory at the end of t1 to build skynet. Why didn't John Connor send this message to Sarah in 1984 so it wouldn't happen?
