The super brainy, evil incarnate bad guy always has to explain himself to the good guy, when he should just plainly blow him away. No talk - no hesitation just give him the freakin bullet, dammit!!! :devil:

They never learn, those screen villains :rolleyes:

Whenever the bad guy gets socked in the face, he always falls straight down instead of possibly getting thrown off-balance first.

In any horror movie the killer can be everywhere all the time killing everyone without leaving any evidence, even though he is human!

When a pedestrian is being pursued by a motor vehicle they will always continue running along the road, trying to out run the vehicle rather than detour and run somewhere that the car can't follow.

ValJ
5-19-02, 07:57 PM
And, Recker, when the bad guys and good guys are along side each other's cars, the good guys will always speed up instead of slam on the breaks and turn quickly...and of course, the bad guys hit road construction and crash....:rolleyes:

Ever notice how the vehicle always manages to escape being scratched when going through road construction? It seems like hitting anything short of a tree or building the vehicle stays in one piece.

A woman can, and regularly does, defeat a man in a physical fight. This is true even if there is no reason to believe that the particular woman is any tougher than average for her gender than the particular man is for his. (see also video games and recent pro wrestling)

ValJ

Only in the movies can they come up with these crazy "I want that man so bad I'm gonna...." plots and manipulations. And, of course, the woman who plotted it always gets found out and never gets to keep the man....

Did Prefab Spouter take a week's worth there?

Okay, the "token black" is such a cliche that there's now a cliche referring to the cliche -

comedies must always point out that the token black guy is a token black guy and will not survive the film if it's a horror or action parody.

Computer commands don't use any techno jargon. When a character wants to initiate the countdown, just type in "INITIATE COUNTDOWN". The computer responds in kind with lines that are equally easy to understand.... even error messages.
