The 13 bullshit points on top of bullshit – Cowboys and Aliens (w/ major spoilers)

The following list was the result of a collaborative effort between Sean Petersen, Jack Kim and yours truly.  It contains major spoilers of the movie Cowboys and Aliens.  So if you plan on watching the movie and would like to keep the suspense, skip reading this list and revisit later.

There is a certain amount of BS that is expected and can be tolerated for movies in this genre.  This list comprises observations of BS above and beyond.

1. The entire objective of the movie, concucted by Olivia Wilde’s character was to blow up the alien ship so they wouldn’t get a chance to tell their colleagues about Earth.  Earth would be forgotten, and therefore, saved.  Really??  They weren’t in contact with anyone from their planet???
2. Why did Daniel Craig’s character put a blanket on Olivia Wilde’s nekked body following her resurrection?  He could've waited a few more seconds for a full frontal shot.
3. Why didn’t Olivia Wilde’s character resurrect following the suicide mission?
4. All the characters who made it back alive from the trance state in captivity turned altruistic.  This, if true, settles the debate between those who think there is a criminal gene, and those who do not.  Daniel Craig turned into an angel following his return as well.  This requires further explanation not provided during the movie.
5. When, if ever, would Daniel Craig’s weapon have run out of ammo?  He was shooting that thing endlessly.
6. What the heck was Daniel Craig thinking when he pulled out his 6 shooter after giving Olivia Wilde his weapon bracelette?  As if he didn’t know his weapon against the aliens was useless from numerous previous encounters?  And why didn’t he just reach down and pick up a replacement weapon from one of the dozens of dead alien bodies?
7. Why weren’t the alien guns have an authentication mechanism such as thumb print?
8. As common in most alien movies, the aliens’ phsycial characteristics resembled those of prehistoric monsters and they were barely able to put a coherent sound together.  Yet, they had vastly improved technologies.  This is counter evolutionary and MUST STOP.  These aliens also had temper issues, uncharacteristic of an advanced society.
9. Daniel Craig’s appendix wound was inflicted in such a way that survival would have been highly unlikely.  The heated metal rod inserted into his appendix looked to be at least 8 inches deep.  Yet, his wound was stitched up and he was ready to kick major alien ass in short order.
10. Human experiment lab was not exactly sterile.  There must have been cross contamination all over.
11. Space ship had very poor architecture.  Space was shared among the human lab experiment, gold extraction, and dead human storage.
12.  When Olivia kissed Daniel Craig, Craig’s mind went limp enough for the weapon to detach.  Why didn’t the same happen when Olivia whacked him in the head at the bar to stop him from killing people?  Why didn’t his weapon detach then?
13. How did Olivia Wilde pick up Apache language so quickly?  Can foreign language instructional programs be created with the same technology/efficacy?  Rosetta Stone, eat your heart out!
