When suspension of disbelief just wont cut it?

Anytime computers are shown. It's as if there's no MS Windows in the movies. Everything is either suspiciously Mac OS-looking or shown with some type of custom OS made to look cool that we all know doesn't exist.

Related to computers, anytime hacking is depicted, or a control system, or anything related. Reminds me of the "This is UNIX! I know this!" from Jurassic Park complete with the graphical interface that lets the girl intuitively select the building they're in and lock the doors.

Actually they used a real unix file management interface in Jurassic Park (although it never reached the end of the development stage in real life)

Reminds me of that computer on the first Blade film that showed where the vampires needed to be placed in order for the "Blood God" or whatever to be summoned. That movie came out when Windows 98 was hot, didn't look like anything Win98 could have had.

Speaking of Blade 1, anyone remember that deleted scene where Frost got the power of the Blood God and turned into that ketchup looking blob, if that would have been in the actual film, i prolly would have walked out.

The movie about vampire rituals and blood Gods lost you on the computer program they used?

2012. The whole damn movie.

I'm gonna give a mention to adamantium bullets. It was one of the worst plot devices ever. It had lazy screenwriting all over it, let alone the fact that if you break it down, how do unbreakable bullets cause a man with an unbreakable skull to lose his memory? How does Stryker know that adamantium bullets would even cause memory loss? What about Wolverine's healing factor? This ain't even a fanboy complaint. This is sloppy writing.

The whole movie was a victim of sloppy writing. Adamantium bullets, AKA: amnesia bullets, were probably the most offensive bit though from an already shoddy screenplay.

^As in buildings?

I remember when Batman and Robin were chasing Mr. Freeze and his two henchmen and there were thousand foot buildings and statues that were just as huge. Stylistically, it was definitely original and fit the over-the-top style, but I would have hated to be an architect or engineer in that damn city. Or if I was an executive in an office building, it'd take like ten minutes to get up that damn elevator.

Plus you'd have to spend all day with a giant statue of a body builder staring into your window. <Like that. But 10 million times bigger, and with a body.

It was filled with terrible writing but yes, that is probably one of the laziest plot devices in recent film history.
