Many of us have shared in that experience where we're watching a movie, maybe even enjoying parts of it, and then bam: it all falls apart, and the ending is a confusing disasterpiece. Or you have movies like Eragon or any of the Percy Jackson films, that have been hailed as fails in their entirety.
Simple plot holes can bring the whole experience of getting lost in a movie to a complete halt. Our brains rely on a certain amount of logic to follow a storyline, and when the logic isn't around, it's just hard to enjoy the movie to the fullest. Unless you enjoy random plots that make no sense; then you're set. These simple plot holes were too much for people to look past though.
When the flow of logic in a film is disrupted in such a way that it takes the viewer of the film out of the experience, and into a mental roadblock, it's a bummer. Some plot holes are just too big for people to look past, and ultimately be able to enjoy the film. Consistency can go a long way in immersing the audience in the storyline, as it was meant to be experienced. Another plot hole covered recently, was that plot hole we can often see in zombie apocalypse movies/shows. Tumblr did it justice.
If only life were like the movies, but most of the time, no such luck. Yes, it'd be nice to cruise carelessly down freeways with no traffic in sight, in the middle of rush hour. Yes, it'd be beautiful to have a flowing conversation between a group of people, where nobody is talking over each other. For now, we get to experience those pleasant moments on movies. If we're lucky, we see some of it carry over into our actual lives.
People are describing those frustratingly unrealistic things they see in movies that just defy the way real life works. You know, things like holding intense conversation (and eye contact) with someone, while driving down a busy highway, and somehow not causing a massive accident. Or, if you were in an accident, how the cars actually don't just explode, but do all kinds of crazy stuff upon impact.
Everyone loves a bad joke. Especially when it's about movies being ridiculous, sometimes. There's just something about bad jokes that help us not take everything so seriously. And when you start taking it less seriously, all of a sudden laughter arises. And if you can't get enough, these Bad Jokes are going to surprise you with its hilarious absurdity.
We've assembled a fine collection of failed movie pitches that simply didn't make it past the pitching process. Sometimes what seems like a great idea at the time is anything but that. But hey, you never know if an idea is truly not worth seeing through until you go ahead and pitch it. Poor Seth Rogen got shut down hard with that R-rated Care Bears pitch.
Those Spy Kids movies were a mess of a cinematic masterpiece. The biggest question that seems to come out of this list is how were they even movies? A whole lot of cameos and mind-bending twists, and general chaos. Like, George Clooney was president at one point.
