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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

Why anybody would want to live in the county of Midsomer? Judging by the number of murders there, you’d be far safer in an inner city than rural middle England.

Yes, no wonder Bruno's mum had an affair with him! Hugo Boss knew how to design a uniform...

The midwife who led my antenatal class said that waters gushing everywhere before a single contraction is 'just what happens in films, that isn't how it really happens' so it was a surprise when it happened to me twice (not in the supermarket, admittedly)!

Yes! Brilliant 👏🏼

Rewatching Die Hard 3, John McClane approaches a truck which he becomes suspicious of and then unloads his gun through the door executing the drivers. His suspicions were of course correct (because its convenient for the plot) and they were in fact terrorists, but I thought Jesus Christ he did nothing to confirm his hunch before just murdering the driver and passenger, he confirmed their identity AFTER he killed them. What if it was a real driver who unfortunately broke down or a terrorist holding a real truck driver hostage.

Speaking of Die Hard how sexy was Alan Rickman.

Okay Barney Stinson 🤣

Exactly.

They lived on the beach. The sea was right there!

It's ok to fancy your sister if you're a Jedi.

Impossible odds can be overcome with a motivational speech which offers no tactical and/or practical advice.

Haha, my bigger issue with the karate kid is he learns it in a few months and beat a guy who had been doing it for years and had a distinguished tournament record. Unlikely, no matter how much wax he puts on and off.

Definitely.

He had no business buying cigarettes when they didn't have a penny to bless themselves with.

A loaf of bread was a god damn feast to that family!

That Belle in Beauty and the Beast actually had Stockholm Syndrome and fell in love with her kidnapper.

Only dawned on me recently when watching it with DC.

That intergalactic civilisations can have space ships, cloud cities and medical droids and bacta tanks, but antenatal care or pregnancy scans appear to not be a thing.

Poor Padme - and don’t give me the “it was a secret so she didn’t see a doctor” - she was walking around all huge. And if the baby’s dad is going nuts with worry and turning into an evil overlord Darth Vader, a few midwife appointments and an ultrasound might have helped calm things down.

I came to say this one too 😂😂😂

That if you're the hero in a film that involves multiple law enforcement officers shooting at you you'll be totally fine, because they're really bad shots.

You, however, will be able to mow down at least two people per bullet. And you'll never be held to account for it afterwards.

Scar was right to be critical of the monarchy and the elitism of Pride Rock. That he based his revolution on reform rather than first dismantling the entire oppressive system, mixed with the ultimate disloyalty of his comrades (a shocking treachery that undermined their own emancipation), was what really lead to his failure as a leader.

Also just because officials say that x is not possible or has not returned, does not mean official's can always be trusted.

Why didn't Loki finish his take down of the SHIELD airship, before demolishing the rest of New York? Surely, he would have won that way. Seriously, both Thor and Loki are sons of kings and should have been playing with tin soldiers when they were little and should have had lessons in military tactics. Yet, their battle tactics suck ass. They both of them. Horrible parenting.

Usually classed as collateral damage

@Pinklimey

The film was Angels & Demons not the Da Vinci Code and it was not a nuclear bomb, it was an anti-matter bomb so there was no environmental damage.

I must admit the Christmas song and the snow, to me makes it more christmassy, as strange as it sounds

Especially the nuclear fallout too from the explosion, at least I presume their is still radioactive material from it ?

Alphas tv show, dark Angel and heroes, if anyone has any unusual gifts, never tell a soul about them, as you never know who can be trusted.

I learned from deep impact that you can just run away from a huge tsunami.

That Willy Wonka was an exploitative employer with a decidedly cavalier attitude to health and safety.

Also the much maligned Mike Teavee asked some pretty sharp questions of Willy Wonka that were never answered properly.
