Bad Movie Cliches

[Tripe]

Oh. Dear. God.

I want to add in the obligitory, "NOOOOOOOOO!" movie dialogue

Greatest destruction of a classic character ever, from cool bad guy to pussy in under 30 seconds (well the films themselves took ages to do that but this is a nice encapsulation).

And here's a compilation of the Nooooos

This is one so pervasive, we never even notice it: Extremes in Luck.

"Don't worry, Mr. Trent. There's only a 1 in 1000 chance that the Time Machine will malfuncion."

"My God, we're trapped... in the time of the dinosaurs!"

"Johnny, don't do it! There's a 99.999 percent chance that this will kill you!"

"Johnny! You made it!"

Nerdy know it all:  The odds of making it across that minefield are 100,234,598 to 1
Brawny Hero:  I like those odds!

I don't know that lamenting the death of the woman you love - especially when you've been told that you killed her - makes you a "pussy"....it was just the suckiest performance of said boundless grief ever.  Still can't believe that it was James Earl Jones who did that bit of the scene.

The movie Colossus of New York - when Jeremy Spenser sees himself as the robot for the first time - did it perfectly.

What I still can't stand about the ending of that movie is that neither Anakin or Padme appear to give a shit about the babies.   He never asks and she can't be bothered to live and raise them (even though she doesn't know what happened to Anakin and still thinks there's something good in him).

Actually.....God....there are SOOOOO many things wrong with these movies!!

And that's my point. Oh and "the woman you love" did he? See I never got that from the films. I cottoned that he perhaps was turgid for her in some pathetic high school way and now he'd never get to make out with her again.

I think it would've been cool if he used his freaky choke power on someone at that moment.  Expressing his grief as anger would make sense, especially at that point in the movie.

[RobtheBarbarian]

And it still wouldn't be impressive or badass in any way because the moment I pictured Heyden Christiansen under the mask, I would crack up. It's just gone, all of it.

It's because Lucas has destroyed the myth of Vader.  We know too much.  Instead of seeing the bad ass with the awesome helmet, it's the kid piloting a pod racer shouting "Whoopee!".  

BTW, anybody know why he was called Vader?

Because Darth Sideous/The Emperor said so.

[Junkyard]

Wait, Siddeus was the Emperor?! Dammit, I hadn't seen the 3rd movie yet- You ruined it for me!

[Sideswipe]

Im going to go ahead and ruin the ending of the last Harry Potter book for you.  Ron decapitates Harry.

You're welcome.
