Offscreen Inertia: Difference between revisions

* This is played with in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' with the people on the balloon, and both the characters and the audience are unsure if they ever get down for a while.

** Done multiple times as well in ''The End'', with both {{spoiler|those on the raft--although they're implied to survive--and the very end: we don't know what became of the Baudelaires after they left the island.}}

** In [http://filmgarmott.blogspot.com/2009/06/discourager-of-hesitancy-by-frank.html the sequel], people in a village who have heard ''of'' the event request that a visitor who was there tell them which the hero chose; he makes it clear that a choice was, in fact, made. The whole thing sets the stage for another one, though. When pressed, the visitor presents a similar tale of a seemingly-impossible choice to the crowd, then says when they solve that one, he'll tell them what the Hero of the first story chose...and the story ends while they're considering it.

* ''[[The Fantastic Mr. Fox]]'' actually has this in-universe. The animals are hiding out underground while the farmers guard their main escape route, and find it's actually quite comfortable. They decide to stay.
