For me, one of the biggest nitpicks will always be why Goldfinger doesn't very simply call Bond's bluff and asks him to prove he knows what Operation Grand Slam is. In reality, the movie should be 30 mins, ending with Bond's death.

Perhaps Donavan was unsure of their relationship and just thought to bite the bullet and slip it in at the end on the hunch that it would spark his interest. Indy seemed skeptical or reluctant up til that point. He also may have wanted to hide the frauleins previous involvement with Jones sr. My assumption is Donavan is trying to convince Indy prior to the kidnapping because he's not interested in a rescue mission. He wants the Holy Grail and he needs to convince Indy of it's possibility rather than presenting as emotional blackmail. He wants Indy to trust him. The same thing is done in Jurassic Park Lost World to convince Ian to go back. The real answer which I appreciate is that the conversation is for the audience. It is a greater nitpick for me to have a story without a reason. We are not following Indy on a hunt for his father, but rather on the adventure and it's time saving to explain it here rather than figure out why Indy is doing what he's doing in real time or as a flashback.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen the level of contents in glasses or length of cigarettes change between scenes. It don't bother me but I still check for it. I just checked out Rampage (2009) on imdb for some reason and was surprises to see Dwayne Johnson in the pic for the trailer, it's a Uwe Boll flick and even though he keeps getting pretty famous actors I hadn't heard that Dwayne was one of them. Then I realized that the trailer was for Rampage (2018). If they still had the messageboards someone could have told them about the error.... Rampage (2009) on Imdb

The one that bothers me in Back To the Future is that Lorraine remarks on what a nice name "Marty" is as if her and George are gonna name their kid that, which they do...the third one. Marty should have returned to a reality where he's named Dave and his older brother is "Marty".

Marty should have returned to a reality where he's named Dave and his older brother is "Marty". While I love the film and it's attention to detail, btf has the worst time travel. For the names, I thought about this once and assumed: 1. Dave is named after someone...Maybe a granddad. 2. It is not unusual for a firstborn kid's name to be pert near etched in stone depending on the imaginations/traditions of the parents. The second boy is definitely the one you would just fling names you like on without much thought. However, my bigger problem is the notion that the kids wold be born at all. We are talking radical differences in behavior of the parents. They were probably boinking more often, but they also would have had to boinked at the exact same time in order to get the exact same kids with the exact same birthdays. I tend to think that George figured out Marty with the truck being the ultimate thank you. After all, it's not like Marty did anything special to deserve a brand new truck while his brother is carless.

Can I throw some out that fit for many, many movies?
1. The parking spot. How can a main character always find a parking spot right in front of a busy building in a big city? I know, who wants to see a star park three blocks away and waddle down the sidewalk. Just once can it happen?
2. Telephone conversation timing. Character receives a phone call. Listens for three seconds, then repeats a three minute message that he heard to another character. I know, who want to see a star hold a telephone to his ear with a dopey look on his face for three minutes. Just once can it happen?

The Lost World: Jurassic Park - What ate the crew of The Venture? the T-Rex was still in the cargo hold at this moment.
Raiders of the Lost Ark - The Well of the Souls has been hidden for thousands of years yet Indy escapes a noticeably visible back entrance.
The Terminator - The time travel logic makes my brain hurt. Skynet's creation is only due to the CPU and Arm from the Terminator sent back to 1984. If John was never born, would that also mean Skynet never existing?

Kong: Skull Island -- Why do they keep flying the friggin' helicopters directly at Kong? It makes for a great action sequence but come on. Also, no one who survived a helicopter crash has a serious injury, even a broken bone?

1. True blue plot hole- It was done by raptors that were otherwise cut from the script. 2. I am not aware of a back entrance. He broke through a wall didn't he? 3. It's a loop. I hate time loops specifically because of this. Very few films tell time travel well. In fact, the only one I liked was Harry Potter's version. Not to say I don't like time travel movies but as the Looper dude says :"I don't want to talk about time travel because if we start talking about it then we're going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws."

Buzz Lightyear thinks he's real and not a toy. So why then does he freeze like the others every time Andy comes around?

The Terminator creates its own paradoxes left and right. Skynet isnt formed without the first Terminator. John isnt conceived without Kyle Reese. The whole future pretty much exists because of the time travelers and the time travelers only exist because of the future.
Still a great movie!

Also...if you were going to send back a unit to blend in and infiltrate...it wouldn't be the Arnold Schwarzenegger model. He stands out like a sore thumb. Unless he plans on ambushing Sarah at LA Fitness or something.
