Alien.

"Waow what the f-!"
"- DON'T KILL IT!"
*kills it* "- Sorry, you were saying?"

Still can't figure why they didn't kill it when they had opportunity. 😬

I was thinking more along the lines of:

We were woken up to check out this signal.

Shine that, let's go home and get paid.

But you know, we're required by law to do so or we forfeit our payment.

OK, so what's the story we all say?

Yeah, nothing there. Must have been a glitch.

OK, let's go home.

To bad both mother and the android were sent to look for the aliens in the first place. The crews main misson was a cover-up

[-] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

Fight Club and the countless movies like it, which are character-driven and the character is driven by extremely maladjusted desires and behaviors.

"Alright, but isn't that being ableist in Fight Club's case?"

No, if both of the alters acted like normal people, you'd just have an especially weird buddy comedy with none of the conflict of the original movie.

John Wick, I mean who the fuck brakes in to a dudes house and shoots his dog.

[-] shinratdr@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 days ago

Every police officer ever.

[-] match@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago

that would make for an amazing john wick film

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Must have been haitian cops

Donnie Darko

oh the weird bunny man who is the dead boyfriend of your sister told you to come out of bed and onto the street?

Nah, bad dream, just stay in bed. Jet engine goes boom, Donnie's buried under, only one other family in another timeline loses a jet engine, story over in 5 minutes...

...unless the story then fixates on the other timeline where a jet engine just vanished off a plane and no one knows where, ah goddamit

Back to the Future.

A normal Doc Brown wouldn't have invented a time machine.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 76 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Home Alone.

"Hey, sorry Kevin. Come on, hop in the car."

[-] esc27@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.

The 2nd and third time tho?

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

Oh this is a great one.

[-] Nytefyre@kbin.melroy.org 26 points 3 days ago

Every dragged out rom-com.

"We have a bad misunderstanding about why our relationship sucks!"

"Well, let's sit down and talk it over, okay?"

"Okay"

End.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

I would watch this movie with so much popcorn.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

So you would have a handful of popcorn and the movie would be over.

[-] elfpie@beehaw.org 9 points 3 days ago

Normal people talk things over? I would seriously believe that to be the farfetched scenario.

[-] tallricefarmer@sopuli.xyz 58 points 3 days ago

Air bud. "You guys are insane. Listen. Your team will forfeit every game that dog takes the court."

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

It's crazy how this became a movie trope. It doesn't say in the rules that a giraffe can't be in the swim team.

[-] gedhrel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The Sixth Sense.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 38 points 3 days ago

As a bonus, I remember watching Walker Texas Ranger with my father in law, amd the amount of times people had their sights on him and didn't shoot him was ridiculous. He'd have died so fast.

[-] Xianshi@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago

Same with James Bond

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He would have reflected the bullets with his abs

[-] Spaceinv8er@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Nah, the bullets would've just given up halfway through flight

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago

28 Weeks Later.

After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.

“Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”

“My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 108 points 3 days ago

Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by...

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 days ago

It's completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.

[-] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 12 points 3 days ago

if I recall correctly, one of Melbourne's major outbreaks was because one of the quarantine security guards was fucking a quarantined patient

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

Crap, you're right. My original question is some fantasy that people aren't idiots.

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago

Ugh. You’re annoyingly right.

[-] stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

Good to see you are out of your 5 year coma...

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

…surely you have kissably fresh breath…

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago
[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

2020 proved that one entirely plausible

The Host

„Dump all the formaldehyde down the drain.“

„No that would pollute the water!“

„Oh ok let’s not do that.“

The End.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Most hallmark movies.
