How about in the Shawshank Redemption.....he tells Red to go to the tree near an old stone wall in a hayfield.... He's been in prison for 20 years or whatever it was, how does he know that stuff is still there???

That doesn't stop Shawshank from being an amazing movie, but still that is a hole.

Ok sorry to be a narc, but:

Andy told Red to go to that spot before he escaped, because Andy himself went there and put the package there after he escaped from prison. Red was in prison for a few years after Andy escaped but not that long(i don't think). This is shown by the letter Andy leaves for Red which is deffinately written after Andy's escape. So you have to accept that it sat there for a couple of years whilst Red was in prison, but I think that's pretty acceptable.

Point proven....I'm not talking about the rock and the money and the letter....I'm talking about the hayfield and the wall and the tree...for all Andy knew it could've been a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Ahhhhhh I see. Never thought of it that way. A well disguised plothole.

Hey! It's Stephen King...a strong suspention of disbelief and a not too fine scrutinisation of the plot comes as standard.

Timecrimes. I keep thinking there is a logical explanation on how the first 2 Hectors ended up in the same time. I mean, his future self did chase himself into the time machine to start the series of events. And 2 do come back, possibly more if you think on it as long as I have. But for 2 Hectors to exist in the same timeline from the start, it doesn't make sense. Someone had to get the ball rolling. I don't know much about time travel but that isn't possible.

I have yet to understand The Stepford Wives (the one with Nicole Kidman). Were they brainwashed or robots or had a chip implanted or cloned or what?!

I honestly thought that The Town had too many holes in it. For starters, when Doug and Jem broke into an apartment in a Charlestown housing project, beat up and permanently crippled two Dominican guys who'd supposedly harassed Claire on her way to work one day, and then ordering them to "get out of Charlestown" without even teling them why was a pretty big hole. How did Claire know who the guys were, and where they lived, and how did Doug and Jem know to to go and beat up on?

It was evident that Doug had been following Claire for several weeks prior to kicking over her bank and then kidnapping her at gunpoint, and then meeting her at the Charlestown laundromat.

How could so many people not have realized that Doug was an armed felon and a wanted fugitive on the lam from the law, and not going to Florida on vacation?

How did so many people realize that it was impossible for Doug and Claire to re-unite after Doug left the money in her garden and skipped town for Florida? Doug skipped town for Florida after getting what he wanted out of Claire; a promise not to talk to the Feds.

How could Claire be so totally unable to sense what Doug was really up to when he "met cute" with her at the laundromat, and that he put the romance moves on her in order to oh, so subtlely warn her not to talk to the Feds, or else?
