Re: Stupid movie thing I hate
[ QUOTE ]
Here's the one I hate: Hero of the movie fights the bad guys for most of the movie sustaining many cuts, bruises and other assorted injuries that don't seem to affect him at all. However, when he's with his love interest and she's cleaning him up and bandaging his wounds, he looks like he's in a lot of pain. Lot's of wincing. [/ QUOTE ] that could actually be adrenaline. It has been known that people are able to ignore pain while thier addreniline is pumping Melch |

Re: Stupid movie thing I hate
I get annoyed by the cliche of the Cemetery Restraining Order (as I've termed it). It's like, whenever there's a funeral in a movie, the main character always comes, but stands like 100 ft. away from the gravesite and grieving relatives, usually near a tree so he can't be seen. At the same time he's usually either stalking the widow or feeling guilty. Or both.

When there's a movie you've never seen before with a really hot chick. You watch the entire damn movie just waiting for her to get nekkid - and she never does.
I want my two hours back! |

Re: Stupid movie thing I hate
Here's one I got from Ebert:
[ QUOTE ] Chinese Chase Rule In any Asian city, or any city with a Chinatown, all chase scenes happen to occur on Chinese New Year, and lead directly through a parade. NEIL MILSTED, Chicago (Published: 12/11/94) [/ QUOTE ] and another: [ QUOTE ] Cinematic Aphrodisiac Effect The presence of a motion picture camera inspires some of the most beautiful women in the world to engage in passionate sex scenes with actors who they would reject in real life as unshaven, badly dressed losers with cigarette breath. (Published: 9/10/95) [/ QUOTE ] And a final one: [ QUOTE ] Chamber Music Hollywood cops in low-budget movies always show their intentions to finally confront the villain by withdrawing their pistols and chambering a round. Since a cop is always supposed to be ready to fire his gun if needed, why do they carry them unchambered? Because it looks cool to do stick in a round. DAWSON RAMBO, Tucson, Ariz. (Published: 12/11/94) [/ QUOTE ] (sic) where apparent above; Ebert's site has a lot of what appear to be typing errors. Reading through the whole list is great fun, and will bring up lots of movie memories. |

it's strictly for the movies, so many things are for the movies only OBVIOUSLY!
