It Only Happens In The Movies...

Am I the only one who likes this? :o


When a friend is wounded the hero's (or victim's) clothes rip easily into an appropriate bandage with minimal effort.
 
Gosh that is so true.

Also of course the police (or army or whoever) always arrive a few seconRAB after the main action is finished and after the hero has overcome the villain, by which time they're no longer needed.
 
After having a bad day at work, got sacked, stuck on the tube, torrential rain, nearly run over by a New York taxi, spilt coffee all down front etc etc - get home and dog bounRAB up to you licking you on face then wimpers and cocks its head sideways looking at you with loveable eyes making you smile and forget all your problems.

Ahh those feelgood films - we all need them, help us get our lives into perspective. :rolleyes:
 
Your car, whatever the make or model is indestructible - even when Godzilla tries to eat it (with you in it) it still manages to work perfectly - well aside from the odd creak.
 
Ah, that might explain one of all computer software is nothing I ever recognize. Nobody ever accesses Windows and email software is some odd full screen thing where people type word perfect text at a speed a professional typist couldn't manage while speaking it aloud.

Computers never go wrong, boot up immediately, and people who have never used that machine before can instantly find the incriminating evidence they're looking for, usually cracking passworRAB on the way.

Oh and bombs always have a convenient countdown display.
 
Phone conversations are always fun. You just hear one side of it and it always sounRAB fine, but if you try to fill in the other side it never makes sense.

Picks up phone:
Oh, It's Jane my attorney.
--Yeah. That's me. Look I'm--
You mean you've found a possible defence to prove I didn't commit the crime by finding a loophole nobody else has looked into?
--How did you guess? Yes, I think--
It was the witness! I knew it. His testimony was just plain wrong.
--Yeah, but--
And you want to meet me to discuss the arrangements. I'll be there in an hour.
--Er, I'm busy in--
You're a livesaver, Jane.
 
The guy gets into the car and it zooms away immediately - no time for getting the seat belt on, warming the engine, checking the mirror, taking off the handbrake, indicating - just door slam > zoooom!
 
People catching up with loved ones are always allowed to run freely through airport check ins and departure lounges away from security guarRAB who are too fat to apprehend them successfully.
 
LOL
I used to think this but when I've listened to one side of telephone conversations a lot of the time I can pick up the whole story. People do actually repeat stuff that the other person says - I hear it at work all the time.
They might tend to do it a bit more in the movies though; it's a lazy way of letting the audience know what's happening. In the old movies they used to do the diagonal split screen thing, but it doesn't suit the modern movie style.
 
The protocol of getting out of bed in the morning after the hero and heroine have indulged in a night of soft-focus passion is always odd. Depending on the movie rating the woman somehow gets dressed demurely with her back to the hero half-under the covers while the hero somehow gets his pants on under the covers.
