Plot holes.
So I watched Signs last night. OKish film but there's one huge plot hole that I can't get my head around. These aliens are intelligent enough to build ships capable of interstellar travel, they're intelligent enough to find our planet and determine that it's packed to the gunwhales with lovely, juicy manflesh and they're intelligent enough to hunt Man on his own turf.

And yet they're not intelligent enough to realise that the planet they're travelling to is two thirds covered with a substance that causes them to receive horrific burns. Not only that, but they're too daft to notice that this substance falls out of the fucking sky at regular intervals. To cap it all off, they decide to walk around on the surface of this death world NAKED. You'd think they'd at least put on a Sou'wester, or carry a fucking umbrella or something.

Somebody in this scenario is a dick. The aliens, M Night Shamylanynamylanylan for making it, or me for watching it.

What gaping plot wounds have you noticed that don't make any sense?

Alt: I don't fucking know. Why is life awesome, or something. Cheer me up.

I've seen three M Night Shyamalan films
to date they are the only three films to have had me shrieking at the tv and throwing cushions at it in baffled annoyance. Shame really, as I thought Sixth Sense was rather good.

Alt: It's not. No cheering here I'm afraid.

Momento
How would he even remember he had a memory condition? Why wouldn't he wake up and go holy fuck who covered me in tattoos? Everyone loved that movie but I didn't because it was a load of fucking shit.

It's a lazy device to allow them to get down to the really important plot
Which is the aliens are less important to the story than Mel Fucking Gibson's character finding his fucking faith again. WHAT A TWIST!

Also
they [the aliens] apparently came here to harvest and eat us, humans. Despite the fact that we're made from aprox. 85% water. Clearly water doesn't burn their insides. They just have to be careful not to get any on their lips.
