Things you learned from movies.

I’ll post what you’re posting.

I never saw a movie in which they do that; I can’t imagine… :confused:

If your driving, never, ever look where your going.

Holding a gun sideways increases accuracy, especially in a fire fight involving multiple enemies, and most especially when leaping into the air to dodge bullets (because that’s totally doable) and most most especially when leaping into the air to dodge bullets with a big explosion going off behind you.

If you don’t run, you won’t die tired.

Cars do not have mirrors in the middle top of their windshields (windscreens if you are British).

Horses never sweat.

A bullet-proof vest capable of stopping a sniper rifle bullet fits unobservably under a suit jacket.

Old Yeller? (Put down because of rabies)
The Hills Have Eyes (2006 version)? (Killed and partially eaten by mutants)
Dog Soldiers? (Shot by Captain Ryan)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park? (Eaten by a hungry T.rex)

It may seem like driving a car requires steering wheel movements of a fraction of an inch to keep a car going straight, but in reality, they require an almost constant quarter turn back and forth to keep the vehicle on a straight path. The faster you steer back and forth, the straighter the vehicle’s trajectory.

The only body part that is pretty much impervious to bullets is the shoulder. If shot in the shoulder, you will drop your weapon, grab it with your other hand, shout “Ahh…” and it will be instantly healed and you will be ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat when the bad guy sees your dropped weapon and comes to finish you off.

Men, it doesn’t matter what kind of trouble you’re in, seek out the most beautiful woman you can find, she will help you and you will fall in love. On the run from CIA assassination squads? A beautiful woman will help you and you will fall in love. Arguing a case before the supreme court? A beautiful woman will help you and you will fall in love. Lost your job, your house and your car? A beautiful woman will help you and you will fall in love. No matter what life altering event you are undergoing, a beautiful woman will help you and you will fall in love.

The bad guy is never really dead. As soon as you turn your back, he will rise up to get his revenge. However, documented cases of bad guys rising up and actually killing the good guy are extremely rare. You will somehow detect this and spin around and shoot him just as his gun reaches high enough to fire. But if you fail to detect it, you will be ok as long as there is someone nearby who has never used a weapon or is against using a weapon, they will kill the bad guy and it will be dramatic. This could be a love interest who thinks guns are “icky”, someone who doesn’t believe in violence, or in extreme cases, a child.

It’s actually quite easy to outrun the blast wave from an explosion, especially if you’re on a motor scooter. Even if it catches up with you, the concussion won’t kill you.

And no one ever has to clean up or worry about various bodily fluids.

Shitter’s full.

That strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

There is no wet spot in movie love! Cause the actors are faking it, mainly.

All rainfall is preceded by a sudden thunderclap. Even in California.

Any file folders needed will be in the top drawer near the front.

Shouts will echo, even in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.

All rail conveyances, from BART train to TGV, sound like a 1930s freight train whistling through Bakersfield.

No matter the season or setting, you can hear the crickets at night.

Snakes on a Plane taught me there are trains on the island of Oahu. Damned if I could ever find them when I lived there.

Women begin to orgasm as soon as they are penetrated.

No one ever burps, farts, sweats or makes any embarrassing sound during sex, and men never lose their erections halfway through.

Lesbian sex is a beautiful, romantic, erotic experience that lasts for hours. Gay men go offscreen to have sex. Married couples never have sex at all.

Anal sex is the only sort of sex gay men practice.

Ninety percent of any spy agency - CIA, MI-6, the KGB’s - workforce are deep cover agents who carry cyanide pills, routinely seduce beautiful opposition agents, and are permitted to kill without consequence. They are never detected, even though they only speak English. (Or in the case of the KGB, English with a Yakov Smirnoff accent). Those three agencies, plus the Mossad, are the only intelligence agencies in the world.

Cancer, AIDs, and various extremely rare syndromes with very odd symptoms are the only fatal diseases. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and influenza do not exist.

Psychiatrists are the only mental healthcare providers - psychologists spend all their time watching rats in mazes, and social workers are harried women who take away people’s children. LPCs, MFTs and Psy Ds do not exist.

ANY setting!

f the power goes out. Make sure you have some of those 100 watt candles.
