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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

This is the perfect response to 'things you took from films that weren't the point'

On that note, GB2 scared THE SHIT out of me as a child. Viggo? Shivers. The slime making all 'dead' things come to life? Therapy.

4 adults sharing a bed in Charlie and the chocolate factory.
It would stink of sleep,farts and feet

Meryl Streep was the true hero of that film. Nightmare flaky assistant bails on her with no notice after she’s provided months of intensive coaching.

I don’t remember her giving any coaching. I only remember her saying, “bore someone else with your questions”.

Hack the planet, Crash and Burn.

“Don’t inhale until your used to it”
a lone from Grease. I saw it when I was 11 then found my mums fags, “smoked” without inhaling for ages and eventually did get used to it, leading to a 20 a day habit
(I have now quit) I really believe without that bit of advice I wouldn’t have carried on had I fully inhaled the first time and chocked.

If you want to work in law enforcement you have to have a Sad Back Story. If you're a man you've probably lost your wife and/or your child, if you're a woman it's probably your dad but maybe your husband. Divorce will be an acceptable second place to widowhood but only if you have a drinking problem as a result. If you are divorced you must have at least one child, preferably one teenager and one younger. The teenager must be a trouble maker at school, dye their hair, have a boyfriend or girlfriend you dislike, be rude and surly but ultimately a heart of gold. The younger child must be smart, funny, wears glasses, be willing to tell on their older sibling for every transgression but endlessly patient with their shit parent.
If you do not have these things you're probably going to be the side-kick or a member of their team forever more.

Why are cinemas so unusually bright
You can see everyone within a 10 mile radius.

The show which was quite good at subverting this was Person of Interest, where the action hero generally just kneecapped villains if at all possible, especially if they were Support Villains and not the main baddies, and left them - alive - as presents for the authorities. There would then be a shot of a row of goons on plastic chairs at the police station, all groaning and clutching their bandaged knees.

That's what you found implausible about that story?

I don’t think a rickety old cabin has the capacity to smell of farts and sleep, too draughty. I think Charlie’s mum definitely washed their feet every day and they had fluffy but threadbare bed-socks on.

They all ate cabbage soup every day. No matter how well ventilated that shack was it would definitely have the aroma of farts 😖

Along these lines - never ever say to your spouse that the two of you are very lucky to have such a wonderful life together. That never ends well.

Alan Rickman was the source of one of my favourite teaching lines, Assume nothing, apart from the occasional air of intelligence!

American sportsmen always wear an enormous amount of protection, my late father once commented that American footballers had more protection than he had on D-day.
Didn't the game of lacrosse originate among native Americans?

Maybe your system would get used to it after a while. Although the soup itself would just smell a bit farty so that’s inescapable.

@Punkypinky i think maybe you are just a bit of a stinker, grandparents do not smell they wiffle.

Anyway what about the peach? No windows, multiple occupancy and in the slip stream of a flock of seagulls🤢

They need it considering how violent and frequent the hits are in football. It's been toned down a little by rules changes but they still take a lot of damage.

They should try hurling then.
They would know what pain was.🤣

I'm friends with an ex pro American football player. His body is a mess, he's had more operations than I can count and he suffers memory loss and other neurological problems. I'm pretty sure that he's all too familiar with pain.

That Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham would have laughed me into his bed more than Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood. He had far more charisma, devilish twinkle in his eye and way with words. Maid Marion would soon have got bored with living with a self righteous Robin who probably wanted everything done properly and would have insisted on having his merry men to stay every weekend.

That was a great show, pity about Carter, I wonder if they will do a spin off ?

That despite being old enough to be your kids grandfather and old enough to be your wife's father, nobody ever mistakes older leading men for the grandad.
Also never, ever go to anyone's house if they have a cellar/basement. They will almost certainly turn out to be a serial killer and you might be their next victim.
Don't go to bed in flimsy, impractical, silky nightwear. Women who do this are more likely to be attacked or killed. Killers never target those who are sensibly dressed.

People with comparatively low paid jobs having huge glamorous houses. Viz. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer in What Lies Beneath. He's meant to be a university professor and she doesn't work and yet they have this huge lakeside house, beautifully and lavishly furnished.

So true. Bangs on toilet door Mr Spock? You finished in there? Got to bleach all loos on this deck before 10am you know.

Yes the houses are huge but when the husband/wife have a row.
He's banished to the world's smallest sofa.
