Deceptively dark movie endings

"2012" -- Cusack sets a world record for holding his breath. He spent about 10 minutes under water trying to free the chainsaw (or whatever that large power tool was) that was jamming the door and preventing the pod from saving people. And, like in "Independence Day," they are all so happy when the emerge from the pods to see the new world that had disintegrated.

 

Yeah - Poseidon Adventure - we're supposed to be happy that four or five people out of a couple thousand survived a ship capsizing?

 

Not to mention, where the hell does she land? It certainly doesn’t look like there’s any civilization nearby.

And there’s a very good chance she’s in China. I’m sure they’d be friendly to random half-naked Americans found alone in the wilderness.

 

Heat.
Al Pacino's Det. Hanna gets his man in the end and breaks up Neil McCauley's (Robert DeNiro) crew of thieves for good. Except his distinguished career will end in disgrace once word gets out that he could have arrested them a few nights before the downtown shootout that killed and wounded a couple dozen innocent bystanders and police officers, and didn't, because he didn't think the misdemeanor breaking and entering charges were serious enough. He also set up a witness to be killed and botched the investigation in a dozen other ways.
Then there's Amy Brennaman's character. She's left sitting in the car outside the hotel with millions of dollars in stolen cash in the trunk, and no one has any idea she's connected to the bank robbery at all. If she's able to drive out of that alley, they'll never find that cash.

 

Her accent was awful, but she was Irish. Don't get the two confused.

 

Oh fuck no can’t do that. And I denounce myself. In my head that was more harsher than what I picture an Irish accent to be. But replaying her saying “dats all I need” to Danny saying he’d marry her when she thought she was pregnant, I hear the Irish more.

 

The key is dropping the 'h' in words with 'th.' In Irish Gaelic there is no 'th' sound.

 

Don't forget when Pinto knocked her up when she was 13 in Animal House (same actress).

 

She got messed up after Caddyshack. Too bad.

 

Why rugby player Billy Twelvetrees is called “36”.

 

Willy Wonka. Aside from the permanent emotional and temporary physical trauma visited upon the guests, how the fuck is Charlie going to run a chocolate factory? He’s eaten like three candy bars in his entire life and his palate consists of bread and cabbage soup. So one of three things happens:

1. Charlie can’t do the job and Wonka goes under.

2. Charlie can’t do the job and Wonka shitcans him.

3. Charlie ends up 320 pounds and dying of diabetes in his 50s getting his palate where it needs to be by eating ALL THE CHOCOLATE.

 

I just realized there’s a fourth possibility. Charlie ends up in The Hague as a profiteer of slave labor.
