MOVIES OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS
I finally saw "The Matrix Reloaded" today, and got a laugh that was certainly not intended by the filmmakers.
The scene was where Neo, Morpheus and assorted subordinates are discussing how they will shut off power to the building that houses the "Source" so Neo can go meet the "Architect" (as opposed to the "General Contractor" or the "Interior Designer"):
SOMEBODY: "We'll have to shut off power to the whole block!"
MORPHEUS: "T-w-e-n-t-y s-e-v-e-n blocks."
SOMEBODY ELSE: "Shutting off power to twenty-seven blocks? That's impossible!"
ME: "No, it isn't! Just ask someone in Ohio to throw a switch and you'll have all the powerlessness you could ask for!"
