In Pulp Fiction, Butch sneaks back into his apartment to get his watch. Vincent is waiting there for him, but is in the bathroom. Butch rumages around a bit and makes some noise, but Vincent doesn't react until he comes out and sees Butch, who kills him. After leaving, he runs into Marcelus on the street, where he is carrying a box and some to go cups.

Marcellus went out to grab some breakfast while they waited for Butch, and Vincent thought that Butch making noise in the apartment was Marcellus coming back!

unfortunately Skynet didn't have time to upload enough Road Runner cartoons to the T-1000 before sending him back.

This implies that Skynet DID upload some amount of Road Runner cartoons tho and that's cool.

Is that the movie where Scarlet Johansson learns to use more than 10% of her mind, which enables her to like control gravity and poo poo?

Because that movie was fuckin duuuuuuumb

Not at all, that was Lucy. Atomic Blonde is a Cold War spy thriller with Charlize Theron and it whips rear end.

Tangentially related, in the Dresden Files book series, there are multiple types of vampires, called "courts". Dracula was a black court vampire, and it is specifically said that all the black court vsmpires are gone because Bram Stoker wrote the book to be a guide on how to kill them, leading hunters to have the information needed to do it effectively.

This totally works for his character in The Great as well. Which is fantastic by the way

We watched it alot and then it suddenly got to be boring, like out of nowhere. Dunno, but what we did watch was good.

Pet Sematary is another great example of "the whys and hows of this horror scenario are completely irrelevant to the story at hand and would suck the air out of the room if we decided to explore them, instead of telling the drat story," so, uh, thanks R&M

The mediocre Bruce Willis movie Looper played with this a bit. It's about time travel with a guy going into the past and interacting with his younger self, and they're sitting in a diner talking. The younger self is asking questions about how it works, and Willis tells him that it's all fuckin stupid and makes no sense, and they'll be sitting there making diagrams with straws all day if they try and figure out how it all works. Just accept it, I'm here, let's go on with the plot please.

Not a movie, but a show.

Wife and I have been watching our way through Firefly, where there is a character named Book. He's a priest (called a Shepherd here), but throughout the show seems to have a large amount of advanced knowledge of criminal activities, Alliance (the colonial government) protocols, has an ID card that got him advanced medical treatment on an Alliance ship, and is a very accurate shot. It's pretty clear there is a lot more to him than meets the eye.

In this last episode, a skilled bounty hunter sneaks onto their ship and manages to surprise Book after taking others out easily, getting the drop on him and seemingly knocking him out. HOWEVER, when the bounty hunter later comes through the area with another character as a prisoner, they come across Book's unconscious body, which is in a different spot than he initially fell. The prisoner character comments on how the bounty hunter attacked a shepherd, and the bounty hunter incredulously says "that ain't no shepherd". At the end when the crew is all talking and recovering from the ordeal, a character is giving Book lip about how he got his rear end kicked, to which Book seems to jokingly reply that he actually gave the guy a hell of a fight.

All the details (especially the one about his body being in a different spot) add up to suggest that he did, in fact, fight the bounty hunter and very nearly won.
