Default Re: Movie Incongruities/Lucky Coincidences

Although I like the movie, the entirety of the Sixth Sense, where Bruce Willis goes through life and doesn't realize he's only acknowledged by one person (hell, he was in the kid's house sitting across from the mother; did he not realize he floated through the front door and sat down across from her?) until the kids tells him he's dead, kind of gets on my nerves.

Things like that are why I suck at movies...I just can't stop being bothered by the idea.

Take "Fight Club". Great movie to own if for no other reason than the audio and special effects. But I couldn't wrap my head around the "surprise" 2/3 of the way through the film. It was the very definition of incongruity to me, and in subsequent viewings knowing this early on just irritated me and resulted in me looking for things to make it implausible.

Yeah, I'm a nit in that way, and I tend to overanalyze with women too. Wish I could take a pill and make it go away...
