We’ve all been there: watching some movie, thoroughly enjoying it, but one thing (or more) comes up and you’re like “wait a minute . . . what?” If the rest of the movie’s good enough, more often than not we’ll cut it some slack, but that doesn’t make it make any more sense. Here are a few examples of the most forgivable “huh?” movies:
One occasional annoyance of living in the Western world (it’s not just America, though we fucking rule at this just like EVERYTHING ELSE) is that the commercialization of the media leads to stupid shit getting a ton of coverage because real news is boring.

Stewart’s acting style is nothing more than a shoe-gaze-y collection of tweaky tics, starting with the lower lip jut/furrowed brow combo, accompanied by the jittery Vietnam vet shoulder scrunch and ending with an open mouthed sharp intake of air…which makes her appear remarkably like a suicidal trout eyeing land.
Conversing on topics like ‘the importance of money’, ‘the making of Mulholland Drive’ and ‘the benefits of meditation’, this fascinating discussion brings a fresh insight into the mind of the a true genius.
In a day and age where Snooki is a “celebrity”, Adam Lambert is a “rock star”, and Taylor Swift is a “songwriter”, Johnny Depp is one of the few people who doesn’t require “air quotes” when you call him an actor, a celebrity, a tour de force.
