Our friends at Cracked.com are back at it again with a fresh installment in their weekly video series, "Your Brain On Cracked." This time they take a look at four infamous sequels, and a prequel, that just messed up the original movie. Nothing hurts like a sequel that messes up its predecessor.
"There's no time to explain, follow me!" Yes, there is definitely time to explain. The amount of times we see this particular TV/movie scenario involving a rushed individual telling someone to follow them into situations of obvious peril, without offering an explanation, is absolutely absurd. It's like, take a second, and provide a little context, my dude. Oh well, it clearly contributes toward that stressful pacing, and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
This fun AskReddit thread features a whole lot more of those moments from TV/movies that just don't hold up in real life as we know it. It'd be quite the strange world if we saw more of these phrases being used. Like going to a bar, and just ordering a "beer."

Man, Tumblr does it again with just the kind of thread that leaves us speechless. As far as Tumblr taking us down rabbit holes goes, this one takes the cake. We get to see a deeply enjoyable analysis on a movie, "The Incredibles", that so many of us love. There's just no school like the old school.
You can really get a sense for the vast amount of effort that went into creating this. Cool stuff, and shouldn't take up too much of your time. Two minutes. Wow.
Sometimes a character is created to be hated by design, and you have to hand it to the creator for making such a realistically hateable person. Other times the character's actions over time build up until you realize that putting them in a realistic context implies that they're something like an irresponsible traitor to their family. For more thoughts on media, here are simple plot holes that ruined movies for people.
Wow, this is one of the best parts about the world of Tumblr. The dedication from fans to analyze the tiniest of details in various films. In this case, we're dealing with Captain America: The First Avenger. The thread looks at why Steve was staring so intently at the "nurse" who came in to check on him. The jokes suggest he was checking her out after taking a long snooze. While this thread says that Steve was observing the mistakes present in the nurse's getup. From there, it's suggested that Nick Fury did it intentionally. That sly genius, indeed.
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.
Apparently Assassin 33 AD just came out and it has a few people confused. Honestly, it's extremely hard to tell from the reviews and trailers if this is some low budget goofball satire, weird fundamentalist propaganda or an ill-fated sci-fi christian fever dream. Laura Robinson gives an interesting account on the film.
