In addition to being geopolitically and diplomatically insane, militarily self-destructive (one of the first people detained under the executive order was an Iraqi national and refugee who worked as an interpreter for the U.S. during the Iraq war), illogical (none of the countries on Trump's list were home to any of the radicalized Muslims who have killed Americans in the U.S. since Sept.
People will twist themselves into illogical pretzels denying the obvious, that a team like the Packers that doesn't want to waste a once-promising season would be foolish not to hire the most qualified person available to give them a chance to stay on track, a man a gaggle of NFL general managers knows is better than many quarterbacks who started games this past Sunday.
And while the overall effect of a film is usually based on the success of just how well it wraps itself up, High Tension—which was directed by Alexandre Aja before he made the jump to Hollywood—makes up for its rather messy and illogical conclusion (not to mention its bad dubbing) by scaring the hell out of you for the 60-plus minutes leading up to the twist ending.
Allen's friend and collaborator Diane Keaton (who won an Oscar for starring in his 1977 film Annie Hall) also defended the filmmaker on Twitter, referencing a 60 Minutes interview in which Allen, among other defenses, characterizes the claim as "illogical" and says, "If I wanted to be a child molester, I had many opportunities in the past": Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him.

The bizarre new proposal to demand the social media passwords of incoming travelers from such places as Europe, Australia and Japan would be even more unwelcoming.
Occasionally the filmmakers make giant deductive leaps and illogical conclusions, zooming from point A to point C without stopping to explain the trajectory through point B. A former producer for America's Most Wanted claims to have discovered the identity of someone the filmmakers believe could be responsible for a series of serial killings in Atlantic City — but the documentary doesn't tell us how the producer came to that conclusion, or how the producer was able to capture the man's photo.
