Default Re: 13 Things Films Have Taught Us

haha thats all true, and heres more [really long, theres 30]:
1. Bring extra batteries cuz the ones in the flashlight will always die when you need them the most; unless of course you drop and break the flashlight first.

2. Parents and authority figures never believe you.

3. You never believe parents or authority figures.

4. Females, without fail, will always trip over something when they're being chased by the bad guy(s)/monster/zombies/etc.

5. Guns usually never need reloading, the major excepting being of course when the good guys are holed up in some house, apartment, abandoned building or what have you and they've got very little ammo, whereas the enemies have more than enough (unless they're zombies; then they'll just keep coming at you en masse). And then the good guys always win anyway!

6. Cats, and sometimes birds or a person, will always jump out in a tense moment whenever the good guy/gal is investigating something... in the dark... alone... with a piddly, harmless little thing they like to think is a weapon of some sort.

7. In highway chases traffic is always ridiculously slow and widely spaced apart, regardless of what time of day it is, even during rush hour.

8. A car will always easily flip over when it looks like it would otherwise just crash into another car's front or back bumper.

9. A vehicle that gets forced off the road will always instantly explode as it barely touches the ground and/or shrubbery whenever falling down a sharp incline.

10. Good and bad guys alike will fire excessive amounts of ammo at each other, never or hardly hitting each other.

11. Good guys never have enough ammo, nor do they ever pick up any gun that's just lying around in a heavy firefight to use as a backup when their own empties and there's no time to reload, or they're just out of ammo completely.

12. Nearly-impossible-to-kill bad guys will often be killed but then resurrected in some quasi-magical way, often gaining or possessing quasi-magical powers themselves under the most implausible circumstances.

13. Whenever someone's crossing a road or street and they see a car coming towards them very fast then the person will always run to the other side of the street instead of just stepping backward from or turning around toward the side they just left, even if it's only inches away.

14. The more obvious a person seems to be the killer the more likely that he or she isn't and it'll almost always be the person you suspect the least.

15. Children don't die nearly enough (if ever) when their lives are in great peril in films, but cute dogs are often brutally slaughtered.

16. Children too often are portrayed as being way too much smarter for their age than they really are.

17. Ugly people will always be played by uglified beautiful people.

18. Mentally challenged people will almost always be played by academy award winners.

19. Roughly 95% of all teenage characters are played by 20-somethings who don't even come close to looking like teens anymore.

20. Even after a supposed full night's sleep, female characters will always wake up completely refreshed and with perfect looking hair and neatly applied makeup.

21. No matter how loud a shower is people taking one (especially women, since they're about the only ones who take showers in movies anyways) will always have unnaturally keen hearing and will call out to whomever's there, yet in the absolutely quietest moment they'll fail to hear someone sneaking up right behind them and not realize it till too late.

22. Movie serial killers are almost always a lot more imaginative than real life ones.

23. Almost all telephone numbers in the U.S. start with 555-.

24. No matter of how many guns are being fired at any given time in a movie (or even TV episodes) nobody's hearing is ever in the least bit impaired even though they never wear ear protection!

25. When the low, melodic music starts playing in pretty much any kinda film then you just know that something bad's gonna happen, even though we can often see it coming long before then anyway.

26. High speed chases on highways often cover the same small stretch of the roadway (can you say The Matrix Reloaded or Reservoir Dogs? I knew you could), not unlike when characters running in a Flintstone cartoon keep passing the same buildings and fences in the background.

27. There's never any shortage of discontinuity, such as with hairstyles, facial hair styles, cars getting struck very hard and damaged in one shot and then being undamaged in the next (Jeepers, Creepers), scars, outfits, tears in outfits or blood smears on clothing changing shape (Captain Kirk's red jacket after his son, David, is killed by Krug, in Star Trek III: The search For Spock), dialog or previous plotlines, to name a few.

28. Handguns are more accurate and deadlier over long distances than hunting or assault rifes.

29. A car in perfect working condition will always fail to start whenever a serial killer/psycho/evil alien/monster/swarm/horde or pack is right on the victim's tail, and then will suddenly start right up when the attacker(s) get(s) to the car.

30. Whenever disaster is about to strike within a minute or two and everyone's gotta rush to get away as quickly as possible there'll always be at least two characters who take their sweet ol' time with a leisurely stroll and talking about what to do.

Also, all movie makers are under the assumption that guns are weightless and have no kickback. It's annoyingly comical to see the characters shoot a shotgun effortlessly.

Oh, and when you are fighting a bad guy who is much better than you are, don't worry. As soon as he says something insulting you will be given the power to defeat him.
