...you notice little things that make no sense. For example.

NOTE: OBVIOUSLY, SPOILERS AHEAD

Twister: Tailgate Smailgate
When trying to intercept the third twister on the hill - the "jumper" - the tailgate of Bill's truck is ripped off when a falling telephone pole pushes Dorothy II out of the back. A mere three seconds later, the tailgate is magically reattached to the back of the truck. And you thought your auto body man was good!

Twister: Bill's Hot Coffee
At the drive in, Bill receives his order of two coffees to go from the concession stand. This is when everyone takes note of the strange calm. Paxton is shown with the coffee in his hands before we quickly cut to the other characters. When we go back to Bill a second later, his hands are free to gesture that everyone get underground. Maybe he sat them down on the nearby table, because flinging hot coffee on your hands would hurt!

This is what I get for watching Twister three times in a row in one day....

Anyone else notice pointless, odd things in movies? Angie?

None off the top of my head, but it seems to me you'd have a field day with this site:

In Aladdin, the story is told in flashback by a merchant trying to sell the lamp, but the movie never rejoins him when the story ends.

There's another, much more obscure goof, but it's actually a continuity goof between the film and its TV spinoff. But a good one! Eh, read on or don't, but I never get to share this so I'm doing it now.

Early on in the film, the sultan is freaking out because Jasmine must be married by her next birthday, and she's 'only got three more days!' That night, she sneaks out. The following day is when she meets Aladdin, he's captured by the guards, she thinks he's dead, etc. The following day is when he arrives as Prince Ali, and they have their first date. The day after, then, when Jafar finally usurps the throne, is her birthday. With me so far?
Jump to the TV series. One of the episodes starts off with Aladdin forgetting that it's the anniversary of that first date, and she refuses to give him hints on what he forgot. Skipping over some plot details, the following day he's trying to brainstorm what he forgot, and he starts off by saying, 'OK, it's not her birthday...'

...Except of course, when he said that, it was, because it was the day after the anniversary of that first date, and the next day was when Jafar attacked, which, again, was her birthday! See? See? It's all...very...

OK, so it only matters to me. I was still pretty pleased with myself when I figured that out back in '94.

As a kid I was always annoyed by the scene in Jurassic Park where Ellie runs out of the power station where she'd just turned power back on to all the electric fences, busts through a gate, and then proceeds to slump down with her hand grasping a fence that says "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" on it.  Rewatching it recently I've realized that's probably NOT supposed to be one of the electric border fences and is just a warning on a regular fence since there's electrical equipment on the other side.  I've watched that movie way too many times, probably.
