For giggles post scenes of movies that you think could/would have happened.

For example:
After the Battle of the Pelennor Fields:

Merry: "So Pippin, how did you do?"
Pippin: "Didn't do to bad. I got one orc about to stab Gandalf, then got Gandalf to help me save Faramir from his crazy dad. Yourself?"
Merry: "Pretty well. Must have killed about 4 orcs during the charge, another 4ish and a couple of those evil men after the horse threw me, and I don't think anyone will begrudge me half a Witchking of Angmar silhouette on my helmet."
Pippin:

I can totally see/hear that one Or a similar "ooooooh gak.......uhm........ya.....DEFINITELY didnt think this through"

The weird, implied sex-scene in Avatar.

Oh, the longer scene in the extended cut of it proves that.

According to the script and the notes, Na'vi do it like every other mammalian lifeform. The queue (ponytail) adds an extra dimension (so faking it is out of the question).

I know entire scenes in the lotr movies are supposed to have happened, but I don't recall most of them - so tedious did I find those movies (the wife wanted to see them - honestly, watching the twilight movies would have been easier - at least they are shorter).

Oh stop being an Uber Nerd, the LOTR movies were pretty good

The Alien when it corners Lambert in the first film.

"Have you seen the beginning of Urotsukidoji 2?"

It always seemed implied to me, that it was up to some seriously dodgy shenanigans with poor Lambert in that brief moment. Although that might be my dirty mind at work.

Aliens.

Lots of folks wonder how 2 face huggers got onto the Sulaco (shown in Alien3), well that bit in Aliens when Ripley gets to the top of the lift with Newt, expecting to get to the dropship and it isn't there, causing her to shout 'Damn you Bishop!'

Well, I think he (Bishop) was getting the two eggs, I think he was programmed to fulfill his instructions by Burke to get the two specimens aboard for further study. Remember he was two take the two facehuggers from the hospital onto the ship and Ripley stopped it (then Burke tried to get her and Newt infected). So I think his secret company programming overwhelmed his prime directives and automoton like, he found two eggs and stowed them away on the dropship.

Bish, being a good (artificial) person, would have no memory of the event as his programming just created a story to cover it up to his prime personality. But a company manager gave him the instruction to get two facehuggers onboard, in Alien3 we saw that two facehuggers got onboard, that's my theory on how it happened.

Mine would be from the same movie. And great job MGS!

As they are bumping down to LV-426 in the dropship, Ripley leans over to Burke and says
"We're leaving noone else on the ship? What if we need help? You mean you drag my ass out here,
and couldn't even bring the warships crew? ".

In your opinion, perhaps.

What's uber-nerdy about NOT liking LOTR?

Strikes me that it's FAR MORE nerdy to LIKE it than to not like it, but YNMMV (your nerd mileage may vary).

The book bored me to tears in high school (I tried to read it around 30 years ago. I got up to chapter 1 and a bit. There just weren't enough rayguns and spaceships in it.) and the movies didn't improve it in my eyes. Not even the Bakshi one.

What if they made a space LOTR? might that get your interest chromedog?

Well since everyone is talking about LOTR...

One of the biggest complaints I hear amongst people about them is the whole "Why didnt they just take the eagles?" argument...

In the books it is explained that the Eagles were busy doing things to help the war effort elsewhere (there was an entire second front more north of Mordor near the Lonely mountain.) When Gandalf escapes Saruman in the first book, Gwaihir the Eagle king explains to him that he can only take Gandalf to somewhere close because he was unable to join him or make long trips for the fellowship...

This is left untouched in the movies obviously because it draws away from the main story and some people just don't have the attention span for three two and a half hour movies anyway...

It's the scene in Terminator 1, where Sarah Connor and Reese are driving along, and Sarah is like...

<Sarah> *Sniff* Can you smell something?... What is that?
<Sarah> Reese is that... Have you...

<Reese> What?
<Reese> Ohhh that! I can explain... I stole these pants off a homeless guy, that I found drunk, and sleeping in a dumpster.
<Reese> Admittedly they do smell pretty bad. Sorry about that. He must have been sleeping rough, and going to the toilet in them quite freely for months. I think I'm getting a rash actually... Possibly related to this bad case of pubic lice that I've developed since putting them on *scratch* * scratch* * scratch*.

<Sarah> *Barf* Reece why would you do that? Couldn't you find ANY other pants?

<Reese> Well... Yeah I guess. That clothes shop I broke into at the start of the film, had quite a lot of pants. Dozens of them...

<Sarah> ...
