You know that scene in The Shining where Shelly Duvall is running around the hotel seeing ghosts and crap......WTF was up with that bit with the man in the bear suit?

Oh list any other movie scenes that you think make no sense to the rest of the film.....

Here's an extended version of the scene I'm talking about

A partial argument for it going along with a subtle theme of native american oppression by whites in American History throughout The Shining can be found here

There's a scene in Vertigo, one of my favorite movies, which makes no sense. Jimmy Stewart is following Kim Novak. He sees her enter a small hotel and at a window on the second floor. He asks the woman at the front desk about her, and the woman knows about her but says that she didn't enter the hotel (there's only one stairs). The only thing I can figure is that Hitchcock wanted to heighten the mystery.

Alright I know this thread will probably spin outta control quickly as movies are listed.....but who else thinks that in Star War 4 the Death Star should have simply destroyed the planet the Rebel Base was hiding behind and then blown up the Rebel Base moon?

Read this to find out the horrible cost of the victory in The Return of the Jedi. The party at the end was also possibly the Ewoks' last night alive.

Movie scenes that make no sense?

The entire "Restoration" DVD from the liars at LDS Inc PR department.

Well since I'm a Mollie I'll pipe in with the gratuitous sex scenes in movies. Sometimes they're just really pointless and do nothing except ensure teenage boys rent them.

OK, I am a huge Star Wars fan, but this is taking Star Wars thinking to a ridiculous level.

It's a science fiction fantasy, for heaven's sake!

If George Lucas says that the Ewoks were fine and dandy, that's good enough for me. He did write the series, after all.

;)

But the point was, the Empire was arrogant. They didn't think that the Rebels stood a real chance at destroying the Death Star, and wanted to make a huge political statement with simply wiping out the Rebel Base.

Sex scenes don't really bother me. Gratuitous language that doesn't need to be there, and brutal violence bothers me more.

I finally had to turn off the DVD of "Phone Booth" because the F-word was thrown around so much it was just annoying.

Yavin was a gas giant, and was therefore impervious to the Death Star's superlaser (since the laser would've passed right through it). The superlaser only worked on solid objects.
