Definitely stealing the Roland Emmerich Problem phrase. I think it's trying to capture desperation or tension, but it usually does the opposite because the solution isn't any different than the thing that failed. "We were flying the plane and almost crashed! So we kept flying the plane and it turned out OK," and it just gets exhausting to see it again and again.
You are correct, sir. Movies get interesting when things go wrong, and characters have to do something different to get through it. Not when they keep doing what they were already doing to get through the thing that almost messed them up.
I like the balloons! Great review as usual.

Good point.
