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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

Oh yes - the bras in bed during sex. And women always having to put on the man’s shirt when they get up - not their own clothes.

I always wonder as well why so many directors insist on having the woman going to the loo, wiping and all… like ew! Gratuitous Toilet Scene (GTS)

oh and I always wait for the actors to wash their hands after going to the loo… and they never do.

When any actors pick up a suitcase it is so obviously full of nothing. No effort required to lift it no matter how big it is.
When adults tell their kids to go to another room because the grown-ups need to talk and the kids toddle off immediately with no argument.
And yes when women go to bed and wake up with make-up and hair intact.

Why, when somebody is trying to leave the house in a hurry (usually to get away from the villain) and the door is locked, do they not open a fucking window instead of going back into the room the villain is in?

Yup, all Xmas day long!

When hunting a serial killer, as young as you save the last victim just in the nick of time - even up they have already been kidnapped, tortured and suffered life long trauma - it can be considered a triumphant success. Nevermind about other10 victims that died in the meantime.

The epic airport scenes in romcoms.... apparently in romcoms if people leave on a plane they vanish to Timbuktoo forever. You can't possibly just call them when they get there and profess undying love to them or follow them on the next flight there.... nope! You have to dropkick airport security staff and run for your life to catch them

50 first dates is the saddest film ever. Imagine waking up every day and not remembering your kids....

That nearly happened to me in real life……I had done the early morning dog walk down by my local river through overgrown fields & returned home as usual. Left for work about an hour later and was wondering why there were lots of police cars & an ambulance by the river. Found out later that a man’s body had been found just about 25yards further on the route I had walked. Sadly he was an elderly gentleman with dementia who had gone missing the day before.😢

If you're upset you should absolutely throw a glass at the wall and smash it to smithereens in your own kitchen/living room. It's no hassle at later to clean that up.

When leading a SWAT team all in combat gear and carrying machine guns, you just wear your office suit and use a handgun.

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

i thought the scene of the Totanic arriving was pretty chilling with all the passengers getting off, pretty insensitive too,today it wouldn't go down well (no pun intended).

The Devil Wears Prada, if women are ambitious in their jobs they will lose their man. And the amount of workplace abuse...

Adverts more than films, but

• every white person has one black friend

but...

• no black person has any black friends

Who?

And if somebody does tell you they love you in an airport, it is fine to return back to your previous city with just your carry l-in bag. You don’t need to worry about the suitcases already in the plane hold, anything you shipped over in advance, or the lease you’ve taken out on your new apartment. You’ll be fine sleeping on this guy’s sofa with no job and no belongings. It’s really the best start to a new relationship, and in no way leaves you vulnerable to Mr Only Just Decided He Likes You.

IKEA bedding (the same as mine in 2012) would still look new in 2044 (Looper)

This is our family motto.......

Pretty much any film at any point in time, if any female character is highly educated and/or has a kick ass job this is usually played down by one of the following;-

• slinky/sleazy/sultry music when she appears


• male character obviously fancies her immediately


• she is very pretty with fabulous figure


• comment in dialogue about how pretty she is as soon as she appears (usually by one of lead male characters)


• gratuitous shot of her legs/heels/chest/bottom/glossy hair


• dialogue states prior to her screen debut how beautiful she is

In other words her brains are not the thing that we are supposed to think of as her wow factor. Watched Top Gun for first time recently and thought FFS make it stop. Exactly same happens in latest Bond film.

And breathe....

When the respectable characters in soap operas turn bad. The religious folk, teachers, the good parents. It’s a game we play at home when we watch a programme - guess the ‘nice’ person who is going to be a baddie.

I think pretty much the greatest cause of anxiety for me is when the driver of a car has a long conversation maintaining eye contact for the entire conversation… KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD CRAZY FOOL!

oh, and long conversations leaving the tap/shower running… 😶

This.

Yes yes yes! No one ever understands why I hate her!

That when someone asks if you’re a god, you say “yes”

This is really a thing. I lived there for a year as a kid. Yellow school bus pulled up at our house every morning and dropped us straight back home again!

Try not to take your eyes off the serial killer or monster when you've disabled them.
