I'm Standing Right Here: Difference between revisions

* There's a scene in ''[[Star Wars]] [[The Phantom Menace|Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'' where Obi-Wan is trying to dissuade Qui-Gon from training the young Anakin Skywalker, repeating the Jedi Council's premonition that "the boy is dangerous". It's a shame that they're walking ''right past Anakin'' as he's arguing this.

* In the film ''[[Catch-22]]'', the doctor has a habit of putting his name on a certain pilots flight roster but not actually going along, so he can continue to get flight pay without the danger. It backfires horribly when the plane crashes and it's immediately noticed the Doctor was a passenger, as per the flight roster. The Doctor, standing right there watching the plane crash, protests and points out he's standing right in front of them, but the other characters immediately begin ignoring him and lamenting his death.

* This happens in ''[[Collateral]]'' when Vincent, the hitman antagonist, forces the lead character Max to go visit his mother in the hospital like he does every night just to keep up appearances and not appear suspicious when he's being held hostage for the night.

{{quote|'''Max''': Don't talk to me like I'm not right here!

'''Max's mother''': Why yes, you are! }}

* In the short film ''[[Blinky]]'', the protagonist's mother threatens to {{spoiler|order the titular robot to cook and clean him if he makes another mess}}, while the robot is suffering from a [[Logic Bomb]]-generating [[Heroic BSOD]]. {{spoiler|It turns out that, despite his freakout, Blinky was still hearing things and thus receiving orders. So the next time the protagonist made a mess...}}, well, some interesting food was served.
