    I had a friend once who, if I’d seen a film and they hadn’t, would ask me questions every few minutes throughout the movie about things it was foreshadowing but hadn’t fully shown yet. If not being omniscient is that painful, run to the bathroom, read the plot summary on Wikipedia, and come back – ruin the film for yourself on your own time.

    In that lady’s defense, I’m pretty sure the opening scene of The Thing was intentionally written to make people go “what the fuck? why are they shooting at that dog?!”

      Also I think they literally tell you (just not in English) why they’re shooting at it at the beginning of the movie.

      Yes, and in the guy’s defense, the rest of the movie is written to reveal more info.

        In that lady’s defense, some people seem to have their internal monologue tuned to the wrong frequency, and usually blurt it out instead.

    Oh yeah then explain Tenet

    Magical machine can make time work backwards.

    Is it really that hard to explain?
