They changed that from the comics.

In the comic, he gets the shite kicked out of him after that.

And then when they land on top of another car she asks him, "how did you know there would be a car?" or something like that. As if that would have made a difference or somehow had made their landing softer. Haha. Those movies have become quire ridiculous.

That would never happen in a million years

What would really happen is she would tell him to GTFO and be repulsed by him being such a pussy beta


You definitely should know all about being a pussy beta bitch after your story on the OT.

You have to suspend belief for 99.9% of all action movies. Same goes for most comedies TBH.
Yeah, but Wanted was so fricking stupid, it was on another level. I still don't know how that movie ends.

Lately I've been unwilling to suspend belief when it comes to fight scenes. Particularly when small women beat up big dudes. It's tiresome at this point.

The graphic novel was infinitely better.

It's always funny to see people shite on Maggie G in TDK, as if she were the biggest problem in the movie.

Where somebody gets shot in the torso or chest and they just fall down instantly dead. Same when the protagonist gets shot in shoulder and acts likes it's nothing.

I own the graphic novel and the movie almost made me want to burn it. frick whoever greenlit that trash.

Also, sci fi movies that explain away major plot points by going "Science!" I boo them.

Don't get me wrong, I go with it. But no way Andy was busting a hole in that sewage pipe big enough to crawl through just hitting it with a rock (don't care how rusted it was)


That was a cast iron sewage pipe. Cast iron is incredibly fragile and can be easily shattered by hitting with something hard.

I found the train heist episode to be harder to believe. Kinda cool but it really takes suspension of disbelief for that one.

Every 80s, 90s, 2000s movie movie where the hot/popular chick at the end says to the either superfat, poor, ugly or super nerdy guy...stalking her all movie.

Paraphrased:

"It doesn't matter to me that you're poor... Or that you're unpopular and unattractive."

Conversely, the female equivalent. That nobody likes this smoking hot chick in H.S. or college because she's poor and on scholarship and carries books to class.

Yeah I get the arguments for that. Just saying as I was watching it did require some suspension of disbelief and there are conflicting opinions even now as to how easy it would have been and how many hits I would have taken to break a big enough hole even if it was very corroded.

At the very least, he would have needed a VERY big hole to ensure he didn't get scratched while squeezing into the pipe, because it wouldn't break cleanly, and any scratches he got getting into the pipe probably would have killed him given the filthy death pool he was about to submerge himself into for quite a stretch.

Regardless, here is a pretty funny pic I've seen from some other skeptics that have issues with the overall escape plan

Justin Timberlake being a former big league pitcher in Trouble With The Curve. That casting director should be sent to an internment camp

Tommy Lee Jones was laughable in Cobb. I mean he was fine as old man Cobb but the flashbacks to Cobbs' games were excruciating.
