Why do movies show men/boys as being caring to their wives/girlfriends..when they are nothing like that!!!! Hollywood sucks!

So I am watching Final Destination 3...the main girl's boyfriend turns to his friend and asks him to look after said girlfriend....just as they are about to sit on the rollercoaster from Hades!

What the hell?? Has this EVER happened? I am married to the most lovely man on earth and never in a blue moon would he EVER think of asking another man to look after me!

Hollywood SUCKS!

People don't look great after sex either in RL. Or wrap their selves in sheets and go down and make eggs while wrapped in said towel.

I'm pretty sure if you got jumped by a group of people in real life they wouldn't all dance around menacingly and fight you one at a time either.

On another note; if my dh asked another man to "look after me" I'd smack him one. How revoltingly sexist.

Thank you for reminding me this was on! Recording to watch tomorrow.

Is it the one with the car engine?

Fakebook · 08/01/2014 22:28

Why is it so imperative they sit on the rollercoaster?! Why must she be looked after by someone?! Just don't go on the bloody rollercoaster!

Final Destination 1 was the best IMO. None of that crappy gore.

You mean they wouldn't burst into song a la Westside Story?? Shock

That franchise of films drives me mad anyway. It's put me off rollercoasters for life.

How did that man get sucked into a drain vent the size of a 50p piece.... Hmm

SAW films are the other ones. If there was someone in the UK on it, they'd stand up and say "Excuse me, Jigsaw, but who the bloody hell do you think you actually are?"

waltermittymissus · 08/01/2014 22:35

Sorry Worra they would, they would.

Saw it just last week down the pub on a Saturday night.

Like a really violent flashmob. Honest.

Lovewhereilive · 08/01/2014 22:37

Ha ha waltermitty that made me laugh.

SPsFifthConyoIsTheBestConyo · 08/01/2014 22:38

And in high school people don't sing their troubles away.

People strangely don't all know all the words and choreography of every song and can do it at any given time.

I love FD. I won't use sunbirds because of it and have FD death visions Grin

WorraLiberty · 08/01/2014 22:39

Oh thank the Lord walter

I'm going to practice the lyrics in case I ever get jumped Grin

SplitHeadGirl · 08/01/2014 22:40

nO WORRIES sp..YOU CAN RECORD IT ON +1 ooh...sorry, just realised caps lock was on!

Final Destination 1 was the best one....but I can't believe the little boy ghostie from Casper turned into such a munter!!! What happened??

WallyBanters, what would that achieve? The cocky English person always dies first, didn't you know that? Jigsaw would have him/her in a pit full of syringe needles before they could say "Jolly good pip pip"!

Fakebook · 08/01/2014 22:43

Devon Sawa? I thought he was quite good looking. He was also "Stan" in Eminem's video. Kerr Smith was also another reason I loved the original Final Destination. The good old days.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 08/01/2014 22:43

Oh, that bit with the sunbeds was just naaaaasty!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 08/01/2014 22:44

and Stifler was in the first one too!

SplitHeadGirl · 08/01/2014 22:46

LOVED Stifler....well, as Billy Hitchcock, not Stifler!!

I can't watch the sunbed scene....

waltermittymissus · 08/01/2014 22:47

There's no such thing as too prepared.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 08/01/2014 22:48

That sunbed scene is worse for me than the stuff in the Saw films and in Hostel - it's really stuck with me - and I've never even been on a bloody sunbed!

SplitHeadGirl · 08/01/2014 22:48

Fakebook yes! Devon Sawa was SOOO gorgeous as Casper. In Final Destination...not so much

Haha, he was only in Casper for whAt? 3 minutes? I had the film on tape and used to rewind back to his scene over and over again to see him ...

Actually re: the Casper film, why did Casper the ghost look like a white sheet with big eyes...and then at the end he turned into a boy. Wtf was that about? I never understood why the ghosts in that film didnt look like people.

SplitHeadGirl · 08/01/2014 22:59

Mmmnnnn good question..I don't know!!!! I think it was based on a comic, maybe??

Casper as a boy was CUTE...as a ghost, he was an egg with eyes.
