They never explained how he made all the victims choose the poisonous pill.

Well, they weren't THAT many victims, were they? 3 or so (less than 6?), it could be "luck" (like playing poker) and they weren't very sophisticated people so probably they all fell for the same crap.

Well, haven't watched the series,  but how sure are you that there was a safe pill?

He shows them two, lets them pick one, and takes the other.

Maybe he spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder...

[Aseaheru]

Ha! I think that was a reference.
And if it was I know where its from.

[Neonivek]

It is quite possible he cheats as well.

A magician for example knows what cards you are going to pick before you do so. Most card tricks are just outright cheating.

[zombie urist]

Ok I rewatched the scene.

Sherlock claims its all chance to which the villain says "I played 4 times", so its probably not luck, though it is possible. Also his wording "you have a choice" is ambiguous, but then Sherlock clearly almost eats the pill he selected so its probably not a force.

The gods could've easily won the fight with the Titans if they hadn't just charged in and all stayed in that one corner. They could've killed all of them without even getting scratched by any of them!

Furious 6.

It's actually a pretty damn fun movie, if a bit disorientating at times. What does annoy me to no end is how the chick dies in the end, or doesn't, that's the thing, I know they're going at high speed and she does the whole sacrifice to save a loved one thing, but realistically, that jump was very survivable, especially when you consider what the other people survive in the movie. And then out of nowhere comes Statham to conviniently tie up that loose end and murder that poor dude for no apparent reason, sequel baiting HO! I guess :/

[Loud Whispers]

Magical Burt Wonderstone or something along those lines.

Did seriously no one question the bruises? No one?

Just watched the mythbusters on Titanic, and that essentially they both could have survived if they had just put their life jacket underneath the floating wreck.

But wait a minute, why would they need to do that in the first place? Rose could have just stayed on the boat and Jack would have been able to survive long enough on the raft for the boats to return. Her idiotic lovey doviness killed Jack.
I now enjoy this film.

[Neonivek]

As with everything that would require psychic powers.

People have discovered ways for the Titanic to survive post-iceberg as well, but that would have required an unnatural amount of foresight and thinking.

When rose left the lifeboat she did not know about the raft.

[Loud Whispers]

As with everything that would require psychic powers.

How?

When rose left the lifeboat she did not know about the raft.

And this part is irrelevant. She would have known Jack would be willing to die just to protect her [sure enough, he puts himself in mortal danger for her at least 3 times before this and encourages her to stay on the lifeboat], and then leaves safety to put herself at danger once more. All it'd have to have taken is for her to stay on the lifeboat for Jack to be able to focus on keeping himself alive rather than having to keep her alive. All of this is known when she makes the leap. You don't have to have prescient knowledge of wreckage placement to know someone is going to have better chances of living when they are preserving their own chances themselves.

That's more or less what I thought, and it's what I would try if I somehow couldn't reach the library. 

But bunkering up in the library gives me the resources to learn anything vital I might need to know that I don't know.  Like if odd looking puffer fish #4 I caught is poisonous, how to maintain a solar panel or make pipe rifles and stuff of that nature.

It's like the internet, only heavier and with fewer cat videos and porn.

Plus, you'll have lots of fire fuel for the winter.

Dean Koontz alone could keep you warm for months.

[Bohandas]

The dinosaurs and genetic engineering in Jurassic Park are not at all essential to the plot.

The park would have been every bit as dangerous if a mundane bunch of pissed off tigers and bears had gotten loose instead pf a bunch of dinosaurs.

[Xantalos]

What would the theme park be marketed as then? Ordinary Animal Island Park?

[4maskwolf]

Holy thread necromancy batman!

[Neonivek]

So basically: Holocene Park!
