Things you've taken from films that weren't the point

[DoDoDoooooo]

Elsa and Anna's parents were shockingly awful...

Any others?

Unless you get eaten by a shark half way through

That if you take your intelligent but very sheltered naive teen daughter on holiday, your not allowed to be upset when you find out she’s been corrupted by some dead beat dancer in a vest...

If you glue your Lego together, as you build it, it won’t fall apart, and kill your feet, later. Fabulous idea.

and HC can’t do a proper, scary, powerful walk as Darth Vader, like the Green Cross Code man could.

Yes! The only film I can think of where this results in a crash is "Fly away home" (it's relevant to the plot).

If you shuffle to the fridge in your badly-lit apartment, for a late night snack in your pjs and gown, you’re def gonna get accosted by a baddie who’s been lurking in the shadows all evening.

😂

Also, that is absolutely NOT Cardiff!

Hairdressers are going to survive anything, doesn’t matter whether it’s zombies or the complete destruction of civilisation, they’re obviously still working.

How a cute little blond boy could survive for ages on the rough streets of NYC and avoid being kidnapped.

I mean there's a lot of ridiculous shit in Home Alone 2, but that one really stands out.

😳

Whatserface - corrupted? Enlightened more like

That you can drive anywhere without looking left or right, turning the steering wheel or putting the hand brake on. You never have to put petrol in your car and there's always a convenient space to park, anywhere in London !.

That if you have a baby or toddler they require very little care and nap excessively with no concern from parents.

The Purge - I spend way too much time thinking about the day after, you know, when you tried unsuccessfully to murder your boss. Do you just walk in and say 'hey!' the next day?

And on the note of murder, the film makes a great point at killing someone with whom you've got a grudge, as if it's all just about murder, but if you really spend time thinking about the implications of such a law (where all crime is legal for one night) my mind starts wandering to the much darker things like what must go on just within households for one night a year, and what a society would really be like if these things were sanctioned.

The bedrooms in Star Trek TNG. The pillows are really flat and there are completely impractical plant displays right above them. It looks horribly uncomfortable, I couldn't sleep like that. How are you meant to read in bed?

LOL . Best comment so far.

Star Trek Lower Decks has this covered!

Another plant one. In Doctor Who, 'The Day of the Doctor' (I think) there's a scene in the desert, in a shack, and there is ivy growing in it. In the desert.

Have you been watching on film 4 too? I've just been considering Billy Zanes character and thinking actually he got a shit deal too. I mean he was an arsehole but she did run off and shag Jack which wasn't exactly ideal

He smacked her across the face no? Haven't seen it recently, but that's more than 'arsehole' behaviour

Sex scenes in movies
The sex ends, the woman either stays in bed or gets up and puts hers clothes straight on and leaves. No awkward wobble walk to the toilet like in real life!

Jonny Lee Millers drooling and sweating whilst playing the creature in the National Theatres Frankenstein.

And woman always on top

As a child watching films of the 90s, I'd always think about the repercussions if I just shouted at my parents over dinner, slammed my fork down and ran from the house if I was mad about anything.

First of all, where I grew up keys were needed for everything, and everywhere was burglar-proofed so you couldn't just easily pop out of a window either (we had one massive window with an easy unlock system in case of a fire)

Not to mention the absolute rudeness

The number of characters who have a pristine white sofa in a family home. So ridiculous and my husband gets annoyed when one appears because he knows I'm going to start moaning.

The characters who can't wait to have sex so they just sweep everything off the kitchen table onto the floor. Erm, you're going to have to clear up that mess and buy more crockery now, you idiots.

That women only have miscarriages after falling downstairs or off a horse.

That when the police are investigating and someone says something that indicates the missing vital information, they instantly rush off rather than spending 5 minutes getting the full picture.
