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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

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.

Well, one of you is.

Betting it won't be him.

And why are none of the women he meets short and fat with greasy hair and glasses?

Those women don't exist, but it reminds me of another weird thing.

Women can end up stranded in the jungle / desert / warzone and remain perfectly groomed and their body hair doesn't grow, they don't get a 'twat tan' and they don't get heat rash or ugly scars from insect bites. Trapped in an area with 100% humidity and their hair remains perfect and they don't look like a big sweaty red faced mess.

If they do get a cut or bruise it very helpfully just enhances their amazing bone structure, or muscle tone, but doesn't give them pain or restrict movement.

People are incapable of saying, “Sorry, you’ve misunderstood. Let me explain what I really meant.”

See every episode of Frasier. (Still love it though)

Anybody that uses a computer automatically knows how to instantly open and log in to the correct programme and find the exact file they need, and with a few tappety taps on the keyboard, the vital information is uploaded or downloaded and disaster is averted.
There is never any waiting to connect to the server or for systems to update, or that the person doing the tappety tapping doesn't know how to use any of the programmes or that programmes won't or can't instantly communicate with each other.

People only ever suffer from PTSD as part of the plot/character development.

Witnessed a multi car pileup or a horrific death? Your home or street destroyed in a natural disaster or act of war? Survived a horrific assault? Being stalked by secret government agents? Your whole family turned into zombies?

Just crack a few jokes and you'll be sweet.

In Mission Impossible Tom Cruise can run in one direction from the sand storm and end up in a place it would have been impossible to get to without running into the storm he was avoiding. Maybe that's why they put Impossible in the title.
Also, there's a sand storm that is biblical in that movie. Dubai does not get sand storms like that. They do have sandstorms but not like that.

People always have computer passwords that are reasonably easy to guess. No one ever has a random string of characters/three random words and a number type of password. It's always the name of the lake where they went rafting on their first date or something like that.

People are incapable of saying, “Sorry, you’ve misunderstood. Let me explain what I really meant.”

They're also incapable of saying 'this is vital information I need to give you now' when their partner brushes them off because they're going out to buy groceries or something equally unimportant. Then of course by the time the partner gets back with the groceries, they've been kidnapped or murdered.

To be fair she was a single mum and had a lot on her plate...

I think the main takeaway from this thread is that it definitely wasn't a nuclear bomb ok?

Any film where time passes in one dimension but hasn't in the original one. Especially the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. They've lived a whole adult life and then they go back to being 7 or whatever. That would mess you up!

Yes, see also Jumanji (the original version).

That the camera on your phone is immediately accessible, no scrolling through your apps, no taking photos of your feet or blocking half the vital information with your thumb.

Every disaster movie ever made : the pending disaster is never detected by any government agency with thousands of personnel, highly advanced equipment and a budget in the billions, but by some nerdy and nervous individual at a remote and isolated monitoring station with a 15yr old computer.

Every movie sex scene ever made : the man and woman always orgasm exactly simultaneously.

YES ! Also, military strategists would hit an unspecified uranium enrichment bunker in a mountain hollow using SLBMs not ground attack aircraft. Wouldn’t have been as fun a film though (I loved it)

People smashing things when they get angry, cos now they're angry and got mess to clear up

That it's OK to torture, kill and scalp soldiers in WW2 just because they were in the German army. Yes they were fighting for the nazis but would have been late teen / early 20s German young men drafted in.

Inglorious Basterds was the only film to make me sympathetic with German ww2 soldiers which I really don't think was the point of the film.

Yes 😂🤓 if only it was that simple!

And that you can go into a bar, order a drink and then leave without drinking it or paying for it.

If it’s anything like our house it’s because the heating isn’t on and I’m feeling the cold!

Well on an iPhone you do simply swipe left on your lock screen to access the camera, no unlocking or app scrolling necessary!

Simultaneous orgasms.
He sticks it in,she xums he xums.
If only it was like that.

We have simunltaneous orgasms regularly and have for the last 25 years- is it so unusual/ unbelievable ? Did with other partners before DH as well.🤔

Also related: that Jovie in Elf could afford her own apartment, even a 'bad' one, working as an elf in a department store.

Or any single woman on minimum wage in an expensive city living on their own.

Everyone is very computer literate. Nothing ever goes slow. Nothing ever crashes.
Most hacking can be completed in a few keyboard strokes

Willy Wonka illegally imported a bunch of tribal people and forced them into mass modern slavery.
