Cliched dialogue exchanges
JBB brought up the cliche of cocking a gun to Get Serious. That started the thread leading to Ebert's glossary of movie cliches. But the glossary doesn't touch on dialogue, and I get consistently annoyed by the cliches writers keep harping on in their scripts. Post your (least) favorite movie dialogue cliches.
2 examples: * Someone is saying or doing something, and they think their significant other is not around. But then they look over the shoulder and there he/she is at the doorway: A: How long have you been standing there? B: Long enough... * Two characters are having a heart-to-heart talk that helps one of them get over some psychological drama. When the talk is over, the sage is walking out of the room, but gets stopped. A: Hey, Dad...? B: [turning around] Yeah? A: Thanks. B: [nods, walks out]

Pizza?!? I didnt order any Pizza!?!? CUE:Bad Funk Music [/ QUOTE ] I was thinking of making a thread after watching this bit on the daily show when they had the republican porn star. I know the cliche but how common is this in porn really? I can't recall having seen it. Can you name some titles that have this bit?

[/ QUOTE ] I think even this setup is too complicated and involved for porn today. Not a line of dialogue, but the bit where someone is devastated, so they put their head back and scream (sometimes NOOOOOO!!!!, sometimes just a scream) while the camera gets the shot from above and spirals away. SOOOOOo annoying.

I'M BEATING YOU! AHHHHH!

[/ QUOTE ] there's a website where this is the main concept. every video is of a pizza delivery hookup. I can't remember the name though. It's f'ed up though cuz the delivery guy always puts his joint through the pizza box.
