Question Impossible & Stupid Movie Plots...

Heres my rant for the day...
I watched Flightpath last night and what struck me was how..
Did they get the little girl away from her seat and into that area..
Without anyone seeing?

yes I was struck by that.. also the fact that no one noticed and therefore couldnt remmeber the little girl around them. the firs thing i Do always is sorta make a general emntal map of the people around me. I dont knwo if I do it on purpose its jsut sorta like a habit. I say "fat dude there, hot chick there, old lady there, baby over there".

the fact that a full plane of passengers and not 1 noticed...

Millenium had about the worst plot of all time. Kidnapping doomed people to re-populate the future. When the people got there they seemed to be pretty sedate for someone who was just brought to the future against their will.

The plot wasn't likely, but it could happen; if you've ever been on a transatlantic flight, you know there is a point on the flight where everyone is pretty much conked. I've even heard that the attendants can induce this by lowering the cabin pressure.

How about the movies Face Off and Broken Arrow? Both by John Woo, both starring John Travolta. I'll probably get some flak for mentioning these 'masterpieces', but I thought the plot for both was both stupid and impossible.

Yes, those would be high on the list.

John Woo movies don't really rely on a plot. They are mainly excuses to film insane stunts, slow motion sequences, people rolling and jumping whilst firing two guns and for some inexplicable reason, doves flying about.

How true...plus WWII marines beating up Asian soldiers using Kung-Fu in Windtalkers...If a film is by one of these guys, I know to avoid it like the plague:
Roland Emmerich
John Woo
Michael Bay
The Wachowski Brothers
Shawn Levy
Nancy Meyers
