Nah, that was just PR. Nobody actually involved with the building’s construction ever seriously considered using the spire for anything but decoration (and bragging rights).
May you be haunted by the souls of several dozen deceased military airmen and well-to-do international travelers. 
But damn! They were cool. Read a book called Dr. Eckener’s Dream Machine sometime.
[sub]About the mooring: The problem was doing it 1/4 mile off the ground at the top of a very tall tower. The updrafts made it impossible to do anything but throw down a couple bundles of newspapers. From the Goodyear Blimp.[/sub]
A young woman wearing a fashionable neck scarf will later be discovered to be a transsexual.
Cite?
No really, I want to know, and… :eek:
You are wanted on charges of murder, theft and many more crimes at Which Doper did it? : The Game I’ll need you to come down to the station, for questioning, Madame.
I’m not sure how I know this, it’s just I saw an episode of Law&Order once about this girl who was wearing a cute little neck scarf and my first thought was, “She’s an MtF”. I was right and it was critical to the plot. Maybe it’s just a device on television (I don’t see many movies anymore), like any woman huddled in a corner with a torn skirt and a bruise on her thigh has been raped.
The neck scarf thing was used in the movies Soapdish and Victor/Victoria to indicate transgenderism. If I can think of another example, I’ll post again later.
Whoa! And I always thought that neck scarves were to keep their heads from falling off, concealing fang wounds and other evidence of the supernatural. No, wait, that’s The Language of Written Fiction Cliche.
You are very close.
If you can see a bosom below the neck scarf, it’s a MtF transsexual or a transvestite. If no bosom is visible, such as the woman is wearing a turtleneck or a high-collared blouse then she is hiding hickies, fang marks or suspicious tattoos. Older women wearing massive chokers (necklaces that are thicker and ride higher on the neck) are hiding goiters.
If a man cheats on his wife, he is a cold-blooded duplicitious cad who will suffer a well-deserved horrible retribution {Fatal Attraction}. If a wife cheats on her husband, she is boldly exploring her burgeoning sexuality, and will be rewarded with a happy ending sans hubby {The Piano}.
Exception: Legally Blonde
That’s New York, thank you.
If a child has an imaginary friend, evil is afoot in the land.
Any film shot in San Francisco must include a crazy car chase up and down the hills of SF. Add cable cars to taste.
See The Rock, Metro, Bullitt
Yeah, but we’re building the ziggeruat in LA.
That way, it’ll be like Blade Runner, except without the Flying cars and Replicants.
No replicants? Whaddya call Pamela Anderson then? 
If a scene takes place in a checkout line of a supermarket, the payer will NOT wait for their change.
[nitpick]I have never seen this in a movie. I happen to have a stupid goiter, and a massive choker would hugely emphasize it on anyone. I think massive chokers are for cross-dressers hiding an adam’s apple, or females from The Flinstones. [/nitpick]
Also, if a character exchanges dialog with the checker, the checker is likely to either fall in love with that character or do him an unexpected good turn later in the film. The more dialog, the greater the likelihood.
With the exception of Robin Williams, of course.
If you´re on a horror or suspense movie and you are skeptical or weary, you´ll die a horrible and premature death that confirms your suspicions.
Heros get bullet magnets implanted on their shoulders.
Anyone driving an older car in a car chase will crash. Anyone in a new car will survive/get away.
Any movie that uses “O Fortuna” in the trailer will suck.
In a similar vein, if a character has a telephone conversation on film, they will not say any form of “goodbye” at the end of it.
