Omg I never thought of that?!

Disney Beauty and the Beast.
The paintings of human beast shows him as an adult.
His curse can only be lifted before his twentyfirst birthday.
They say that it has already been ten years.
How does that work?

Its real fucked up when you think about it. An 11 year old was rude so she cursed him and everyone he knows.

still the best plot hole

you're on an alien planet, when some weird giant just runs in the room, and you see all the locals instantly fall down on the ground and play dead, do you go by their example or do you start running around like a madman?

The whole plan in the movie Armageddon. Why wouldn't you just train real astronauts how to work a drill?

It wouldn't matter. Space agencies usually rely on payload/mission specialists that barely get through astronaut training.

And Teacup Chip is markedly younger than ten. Was he born a cup?

Pretty much the entire plot of LOST

Maybe not a plot hole, but why was Weyland so interested in turning xenomorphs into controllable weapons?

I mean they had the technology to travel across the galaxy. They had androids. Surly machines would make better weapons than aliens.

He wanted to be a God tbh

In BttF2 how does Biff take the car back to the future at the beginning of the movie?

In the song I go blind by hootie and the blowfish, if every time he looks at you he goes blind, is that a temporary blindness? Or did he look at you once and is now blind?

In the One Direction song it says "you don't know you're beautiful" "That's what makes your beautiful" So now you know you are beautiful thus making you not beautiful

It is not that hard to imaginate.
It got three dates, when you are, where you came from and where to go. Most likely he first went back to 85 (Doc most likely input it for the return trip) and he figured out the meaning behind the numbers.
He took a note of the date where he came from, went back to 55, then input the date where he originated from.

Doc makes it explicitly clear that you can't go back to the nice future because Marty's first suggestion was to stop old Biff from getting the almanac in the first place. But how did Biff get back to it then?

Donkey calls Shrek a "mean green fighting machine" soon after meeting him

Later in the movie he says something like "this would be a lot easier if I wasn't colour blind!" while looking for something (forget what)

Pointed out to me by my little sister when we were kids, she watched that movie 10000 times and noticed that. Very sweet

Jurassic Park:

In the first movie if they remained still the t-rex couldn't see them and would leave them alone. In later movies the rex suddenly had the best sniffer ever to exist and could smell you from miles away

It is most likely cheaper to breed a biological weapon than to produce an android. It is also faster, can move where an android cant and wont run out of bullets.
It looks will scare the targets more than an android, and its acid blood can take out a close target even if it dies.
It can also function as a cheap way to hurry up terraforming a planet, release a horde of xenomorphs and they will clean the planet of all biological life.
If they manage to add a "lysine contingency" (Jurassic World, they will die if they wont get a specific thing the body cant produce) then the planet will be clean after a year.
The company would earn tons of cash on cheap deadly biological weapons and terraforming helping.

It takes time before the future is changed, which is why Marty wasnt erased instantly when his mother never fell in love with his father.
So old Biff returned, and Doc and Marty went back in time just before the timeline they were in got erased. They returned to the changed 85 timeline because it had already been changed, and by the time they realize it the future timeline is changed as well.
So if old Biff had returned an hour later, he would have come to the changed future.
There is a cut scene showing old Biff being erased just after Doc and Marty going back to 85, but they cut it because they thought that it would confuse people too much.

why didnt any of the wizards working with muggle tech just shoot voldemort

He's mimicking the other toys.
Basic survival instinct.

Why didn't Goku just instant transmission next to Gohan to give him the potara earring instead of throwing it to him?

Maybe they dont age in their furniture forms?

Then they're left with a planet full of killer aliens vs whatever they were trying to kill. Can't imagine anything being much worse.

Killer aliens that they can controll and/or will die pretty soon.

A book I bought about the Death Star suggests there was thousands of them.

Attack the giant. Defeat him for the glory of the space force or whatever Buzz is in
