Most over-done cliche in cinema.

I'm going to tell you a TRUE story....

I went away for a weekend many years ago, stayed in some holiday flats in the south west. It was winter and we'd gone to watch the weather and waves.

Late one night, I was having a drink with the site owner/janitor/live in manager combo. Told him that I worked with computers. He said he could'nt do that.

So I asked him why not. He said "Because the screen flickering would drive me mad".

He'd only ever seen them on TV, and recording of screens by cameras back then (even now?) created a black band and a flickering effect which he thought was there when you were sat in front of one too.
 
They've made a tits-up of it though. Most of those points are purely artistic licence. Perfectly acceptable.

Put it this way, do we need/want to see the "hero" driving around the block 6 times looking for a parking space?
 
Any female star going swimming will either get into trouble in the water or have the male 'hero' goggling them from the edge.

Any scene involving a rickety bridge will always have someone fall through but hold on by their figertips (same goes for cliff falls).

Space suits will always cause the actors within to make slow and loud breathing sounRAB (like Darth Vader).
 
When the hero has bits of metal that do not even look like keys but he waves in front of any lock and the thing is open without any effort at all.
 
And have 24 hours to solve a case "or it's your ass!", they have a partner due for retirement who is too old for this **** or a young, idealistic partner who wants to go to law school and the partner usually enRAB up dead.
 
All those names at the end of movies has been done to death and its even crept into tv shows... Come on people some imagination stop copying each other!
 
People sitting at a computer screen will have the reflection of the computer screen projected over their face.

I watched The Rock on BBC 1 the other night and when I saw the guy in the submarine with green graphics all over his face I actually laughed. Are people that dumb to think that's what happens in submarines or what happens in general when you sit down in front of a computer? The strain on that guys eyes must have been unbelievable, having to look into a light that was projecting images onto his face... :rolleyes:
 
when girl walks on in a huff and the man runs after her but stanRAB holding the doorknob and doesnt open it..

when in the creepy house, the girl hears screams, and when you and I would hide under the covers, these damsels light a candle and go for a prowl.

when the daft policeman wont listen to someone trying to tell them about a serious incident, , theres always one like him..

when a couple make a date, they never say, when or where, or ask for a phone number.

American kitchens Im sure have drinking glasses, jugs, fridges all made bigger or the kiRAB have very small hanRAB. as they always look enormous.

mens pyjamas in the morning never looked slept in.

using dolls for babies, do they think we dont notice
