Suspension of disbelief, dude. It's not supposed to make perfect sense. It does its job of telling a story, and if it has to break a few natural laws to do it, so be it.

Well, yeah. [Tom tops back on his purely cosmetic glasses, looking a bit huffy.] If you want to take all of the fun out of it. And by fun I mean brain haemorrhages. It's kind of cheap to just go 'it's fiction, do whatever you want.' You need some sort of internal logic or what's the point?

Re: [Video] apathetic_seal April 20 2011, 22:09:48 UTC

Just keep in mind a few things. First, all it's meant to do is tell a story. It does not need to make perfect sense. They tried stories that made perfect sense already, with French Neo-classic theater. That fell through horribly. Also Bellisario's Maxim: "Don't examine this too closely".

All in all, think about what a story is trying to tell you, not the means by which they did it.

Yeah.

I.

I get that, guy.

It's just way more interesting to raise a whole bunch of questions with no answer.

You're asking too many realistic questions! You have to just go with the flow, otherwise you totally ruin the movie!

matchesandnails April 21 2011, 10:01:23 UTC

Aww, I hate that phrase. Nothing I can do will change that movie. It's a movie, me asking weird questions isn't going to do a thing.

It's way more fun to start asking questions. Seriously, it's really fun when. Someone tries to answer your questions, with like. Internal logic.

It's great. We once managed to get four hours of ranting out of an hour long Doctor Who.

enliventheworld April 21 2011, 10:47:23 UTC

No way! It's more fun to watch these kinds of films with a childlike innocence. It preserves the joy and wonder that come along with the movie!

matchesandnails April 21 2011, 11:13:03 UTC

Uhm. Well, I don't think so. I mean, you get a deeper appreciation for it if you really get involved in it. I mean, this is an okay movie, sure, but it's a brilliant source of weird questions.

...

Yeah, definitely overthinking it.

matchesandnails April 21 2011, 09:52:33 UTC

But they're all pretty valid questions. I mean. You raise enough as it is, but at least you're not fictional so you have to make sense.

I'm not sure if I should be relieved or offended.

matchesandnails April 21 2011, 22:00:57 UTC

I.

I had hoped it was kind of neutral. Oh my god am I being culturally insensitive? Is. Is it racist if it's a pony?

Uh.

You okay over there?
