Hard to pin on any specific movies, though a few come to mind (Braveheart, Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings), but I always get a little bugged when there's a medieval siege scene, and the attacking army brings very little in siege equipment. Easier to get over castle walls when you have more than 5 or 6 trebuchets/siege towers. Kingdom of Heaven did their siege pretty well. Definitely nailed the scale of how many people/siege weapons would be used to take a city like Jerusalem.

In Winter Soldier, Captain America has a small drive with vital information on it. He decides the best place to hide it is in full view in a vending machine in a room he knows enemy agents are sure to go into. And that's assuming some random person doesn't see it and try to buy it for a dollar.

He didn't find it funny though.

He knew he could not carry it with him so he placed it in the nearest place that had some security.

Re: Terminator time travel By his own account, Kyle Reese doesn't know tech stuff. His explanation of the time travel mechanics is untrustworthy. It may easily be possible to send all kinds of poo poo through the machine, there's no way of knowing. As for why Skynet didn't do that, it's an artificial superhuman intelligence, and trying to figure out the thought processes of superhuman intelligences is a bit outside human capabilities.

He could have at least put it on top or under the machine. At least it's a little less likely a random nurse will buy it. Also at the very end the bad guys are rushing to get the doomsday device going and everything is all ready. They get the order to fire, and still have to do a little 3 second count down first.

Your Gay Uncle posted:So Lord Of The Rings flew over his head but Zardoz didn't? Well, it might just be that he didn't want to do it and was trying to be polite. After all, the Matrix script must have looked like just another lovely action movie and, as for Lord of the Rings, would you move halfway around the world and spend years working for a director whose previous magnum opus was Brain Dead? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-wD42myVVk&t=158s Context, a man's zombie mother has sex with a zombie priest while incarcerated in his basement and gives birth to a zombie baby. Naturally the man decides the best thing to do is take the zombie baby to the park.

Trap sprung, etc. but that was the zombie mother's zombie nurse that had the baby. Dead Alive/Brain Dead is art and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. http://youtu.be/qFhs5LCNTFY

First they had to launch the ships, then climb to a certain height, then let the computers target all the people. They knew the good guys were trying to stop them and had already sped up the schedule as much as possible. Then when everything is finally ready to go, the last guy has to go "firing in 3...2.....1.....oh poo poo we lost." He should have been mashing that button like crazy.

Watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows tonight, and saw something that annoys me in a lot of shows and movies. There's a bit where Watson does modern CPR on Sherlock, but it wasn't invented until around the '60s or '70s. A Victorian doctor would either have done one of a bunch of similar external techniques that looked very different (raising the arms and just doing mouth-to-mouth) or he'd straight up cut the patient's chest open and squeeze the heart directly.

Theres still a lot of good stuff about Zardoz as a whole. Its still a ridiculous and flawed film but its really not a cheesy stupid fest like the trailer makes it out to be.

Liv Tyler's character in The Incredible Hulk is insufferable to me. It feels like she spends the entire movie a broken wreck of a person blubbering and crying about everything.

Ignoring the obviously stupid part of After Earth where the aliens can't "see" you if they don't smell your fear it seems a lot of their problems would have been solved with guns. I mean, shape shifting sword staff things are cool and all but they aren't very practical against an alien race that mostly fights hand to hand. Also, maybe don't make your spaceships out of wood?
