Battle Los Angeles is one gigantic plot hole. also War of the Worlds, why the frick did martians put this shite in the planet just to kill us all when they could've just stayed there to begin with? and how'd they not pick up on the water thing?

What was the Battle: Los Angeles plot hole? Just that they didn't wipe us out in 30 seconds like they should have? By the way, the shitty Battlefield Earth handled this the best by saying they conquered Earth in 20 minutes. That was probably the most accurate way it would go down. Now, functional retards flying 1,000 year old jet fighters? Not so much.

The only explanation we got for the Martians planting the devices in War of the Worlds was they needed humans to reproduce to the rate that we did. That is why during the movie, they gathered up people, and sprayed their guts all over. That was them "terraforming" the planet for their needs and they needed a lot of human material aka people.

Why did they not just stick around the million years and raise us as slaves the whole time? Not to mention they would have also gained those valuable immunities that cost them at the end. That's the real question.

Funny how that works out sometimes. I mean, Bill and Ted is one of the few movies ever that got the mechanics of time travel 'right' (or at least, something plausible).

From Wiki:

quote:
In 2688, humanity exists as a utopian society due to the inspiration of the music and wisdom of the Two Great Ones: Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and "Ted" Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves). Rufus (George Carlin) is tasked by the leaders to travel back to San Dimas, California of 1988 using a time machine shaped like a phone booth to ensure that the Bill and Ted, then dim-witted high school students, successfully pass a history class. Should they fail, Ted's father, police captain Logan (Hal Langdon), plans to ship Ted to a military academy in Alaska, ending Bill & Ted's fledgling band, the "Wyld Stallyns", and altering the future.

Rufus finds the two teenagers struggling to finish their history paper, which tasks them to describe how three historical figures would view San Dimas of the present, trying to obtain help from customers at a local Circle K convenience store. Rufus initially has difficulty convincing the two of his help when a copy of the phone booth time machine arrives, and versions of Bill and Ted from some hours in the future step out. They are able to convince their earlier selves that Rufus can be trusted by correctly guessing the number the two were thinking of, sixty-nine. The future Bill and Ted briefly discuss their situation with Rufus before disappearing.
