@Can't Have Anything Nice

The Big Lebowski
I've seen the movie countless times but Donnie's passing is always one of those things I forget about until it comes time. I think it's what really elevates that movie to a different level. The whole time all these absurd plot-lines are going on, but it's not until Donnie dies that you realize…

I'd throw out the Gately / Ennett House brawl during the night (where it's assumed at least 1 of the guys dies). Not so much for the death being poignant, but just a great sequence where things really come to a head and Gately has to revert back to tactics he had hoped he'd abandoned.

Doesn't Forrest Sr. (or at least Forrest Jr.) have HIV?
How does Jenny up and die from HIV at the end of the movie yet the man she conceived her child with nor the child seem to have any trace of the disease? Is it lying dormant for the most depressing sequel of all time? Did Jenny actually die of something else but…

Any independent contractor working on that death star
knew the risk involved. If they got killed, it's their own fault.
