For me it's the Back to the Future series. The first one has some logic problems, but the 2nd and 3rd have a shitload. I still love them and can get past it. What film do you ignore logic issues for?
sharePrometheus...no wait, I've got this question wrong. Just like the film got the need for answers wrong.
Ironic.
You a Tumblrina now Dazed?
I've always thought you quite witty before!
Tumblrina?
It's a thing like triggered and that Dazed.
People who can't express themselves and so use animated images (Gifs usually) to do that for them.
It's HUGE, like ALL THE WORDS.
Perhaps you found it through different means, but it is a thing.
Ah! I was being all millennial and I didn't even know it๐
I just like gifs and since this is the Brazilianth time you've mentioned Prometheus it seemed apt. Just you know like "Oh God here he goes again!"
Gosh darn now you've made me explain it, my gif is now a moo point.
What was that Bee Gees tune with again in the title Dazed?

shareUsual Suspects
shareI'm sure you can come up with a bunch for any movie, but I'm curious what logic issues come to mind for The Usual Suspects. I don't don't find it particularly illogical. What d'ya got?
shareThe master criminal hanging around the police station messing with a cop. 95% of the movie is pointless because of the twist at the end. It is still entertaining.
shareI thought something similar when I saw it the first time. Why would this guy sit and talk to a cop when he has absolutely no obligation to do so? Why is he able to precisely describe scenes that he wasn't there to witness? The movie is clearly made with a lot of talent in front of and behind the camera, but the story crumbles into dust when you take a minute to think about it.
sharethank you fred
shareI always thought of it like this: He doesn't have to talk to the police, but it's fun for him. Furthermore, a guilty person will protest, or demand a lawyer, or say "I didn't do nuthin!," or most likely, not speak to the cops at all. If he is really talking to the cops for sport as I allege, and if he is a genius, he would know all those things would make him seem guilty. So talking to them and giving them as much innocuous and innacurate information mixed with little tidbits of truth is enough to entertain him as well as to satisfy the cops for the time being. Now it is risky, because Kujan could figure it out too soon and he's screwed, but the risk is what he gets off on. He talks a lot about stuff he couldn't have known or been present for. We know it can't all be true, but we'll also never know how little if any is. It's a story about a story. Just like it's fun for him to tell the story, it's fun to hear him tell it. And like that, he's gone.
shareThere are too many to list. I guess the first one I ever saw was The Wizard of Oz... I was four years old though! What did I know?
To those here who say I have no brain, Keep It Down!
The problem here, is that so many good films take you out of your logical world and into a world where you can forget your everyday logical humdrum life. I sometimes catch myself analyzing the illogical moments in certain movies. I really don't like doing that. It spoils the magic. Movies and TV shows are suppose to entertain and in many cases, suspend your belief. That's entertainment.
I only wish that more people realized this. I see people picking horror movies apart. Ridiculous! Those people ARE going to move into that haunted house! They are going to follow every creak and groan!
I'll still cover my eyes and peak through my fingers and LOVE it! Screw Logic!
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Fantastic film but the plot is absolutely ridiculous. A volatile chemical spray has the ability to turn dead bodies into brain-eating zombies, who have the ability to speak fluently even if their lips have rotted away. On top of that, they are extremely intelligent and can use radios. Despite this, the movie plays itself very straight.
Terminator 2
shareYeah, like why not send back a T1000 to 1984 to help Arnie from number one? Maybe send it back to the moment Reese dies and just finish her when she has nobody to help her? Same with number 1, why not go back even further and just nuke LA? You can't send an A bomb but you could send a terminator with the knowledge to built one. Also, the time travel rules are arbitrary. Only living tissue can go? Aren't terminators mostly metal with only a little tissue? T1000 has no flesh. Despite all this, I love them, especially 2, so it shows that presentation matters more than the underlying logic a lot of the time.
shareI guess they can't nuke LA early, or wouldn't want to, because they want to ensure Skynet exists, and they don't want to mess with Miles Dyson. Still, there were any number of better ways to stop John from leading the resistance than they tried.
shareAlso if they could built liquid metal robots like T1000 how can even they lose the war in the future. A million T1000s in various size and shapes will surely obliterates all the remaining human.
shareSupposedly that was new tech and they only had a few, but here I go again trying to reason something unreasonable.
shareStill the best action movie of all time for me.
shareNo doubt, me too. I watch it all the time. I always tear up at the end when the terminator says he cannot self-terminate, and Sarah has to lower him into the steel, and the thumbs up. Hearing the music gives me goosebumps. I love that movie.
