Things movies have taught us 2.0

[sbrguy]

ductwork is always clean, roomy and the best choice for sneaking around a building
Oh, also lacking in turning vanes.

only an hvac pro would notice that. lol

[sbrguy]

if you are a good looking guy, extremely rich, get all the girls, have every toy imaginable and never have to work ever, there is no way you are happy so you become a hitman/cop or mercenary, because well life is boring and you have father issues.

all the good guys ride ducatis there are no other motorcycle brands in the movie world today.

alien civilizations will always contact the dorkiest kid in high school first.

any courtroom movie, the bad guy will always confess to the crime on the stand, the trial will only last maybe 30 mintutes total, and the attorneys are shown preparing for the trial for 1 day total, that includes all the legal research, trial and question preparing and paperwriting combined.

only an hvac pro would notice that. lol

ignorance of details makes for a better movie/TV show watching experience 

[fastwin]

early -
guns almost always had unlimited bullets or a lack of need for reloading...

This is well represented in the 1968 hit "Where Eagles Dare". Clint Eastwood shoots his machine gun for like the entire length of the movie, mowing down hundreds of krauts, and never ever reloads!! That 30 round stick mag ran for an hour and a half!!!

all female detectives are a size 2 and gorgeous.

Corollary #1: All female detectives wear white pants or skirts to the goriest crime scenes or arson investigations.
Corollary #2: All female detectives wear 4" high heels at all times, especially when in foot pursuit of bad guys.

That perception isn't reality.

That only some people can speak Jive.

That you too can be the king of the world.

That really my dear, I don't give a damn.

That there really is no place like home.

That to hunt a shark, you're gonna need a bigger boat.  

That Houston has problems.

That if you build it, they will come.

That greed, for lack of a better word is good.

That you can't handle the truth.

That you can make someone an offer that they can't refuse.

That I'm still waiting for someone to show me the money.

That we'll never need no stink'n badges.

That I prefer my drinks shaken, not stirred.

That most things don't react too well to bullets.

That I'd buy that for a dollar.




But most importantly:





That you have to go a lot faster than 88mph to see some serious shit.

[Pip]

That most things don't react too well to bullets.

That the next Crazy Ivan WILL BE to starboard.

That Lithuanian sub captains sound Scottish.

The he would have liked to have seen Montana.

[sbrguy]

that charlied don't surf.

that you love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like victory

[zooom]

THAT  my advise to you...is to start drinking heavily!

that it wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor...

that Mongo likes candy

that a Hospital is a large building with patients, but that isn't important right now

[Billyzoom]

Morgan Freeman will always be full of wisdom, regardless of his station in life.

Keanu Reeves will attempt to convince the audience that he is human and will fail miserably.

Little people get all the juicy roles at Christmastime....totally unfair.

Jennifer Lopez has nearly the wisdom of Morgan Freeman, is a bit cynical, has a pure heart, and just needs half a chance.

Matthew McConaughey doesn't like wearing shirts

Hugh Grant will be charming and will learn a lesson

In a horror movie people will inexplicably try to determine the source of freaky noises and such without the help of light, weapons, or common sense.

That it's their time. Their time! Up there!
Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here.

Don't Be a hero

[Grappa]

-Car chases always involve an infinite amount of upshifting.

-People having sex in horror movies are always the ones to die.

-Kevin Costner can't act.

-Starring in a movie doesn't mean that you know jack-shit about politics.  The more movies that you have starred in, the less you know about the real world.

-If Tom Cruise is in it, he will get the girl, lose the girl, then get her back again.  And someone close to him will die in the interim.

-People can make incredible leaps and strides and overcome anything if there's a montage with an upbeat song.
