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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

If it’s a French film featuring a mum, a dad and a daughter, the mum will probably die early on. The rest of the film will be all about “Papa” and “Nicole”.

@HeadOnShoulders I like your thinking.

The best thing to do when trying to hide from someone, often in a life or death situation, is to have a chat with the people you are hiding with.

and hyperventilate, especially if the house is really quiet

Hahaha I love this one

Worst bit of that tedious film is when Cameron Diaz seals the deal with jude law by telling him she thinking foreplay is overrated. Ultimate 'cool girl' moment (the shit kind).

If you are somewhere you shouldn’t be, such as in someone else’s house looking for an important incriminating document in their study, it’s really best not to call out “hello?” If you hear a noise.

Never work in a market, particularly in an exotic location, because a motor bike or fast car will speed through and demolish your display. And just as you are rearranging your veg, chasers will careen through too. Also, don't loiter on steps because they'll be there next.

The greatest showman - all the glitz and glammer of the movie tries to distract from the fact that he bought and sold humans like animals and made money off them by showcasing them to the public. He didn't save them or make their lives better. He took advantage.

It's DEFINITELY not historically accurate and the real PT Barnham sounds like an absolute bellend.... but the film is fun songs and Hugh Jackman looking all kinds of fine so I'll forgive it..which I know is totally your point 🤣😳

In those hallmark Christmas movies the hotshot business woman returns home to small-town America meeting the laid back male ex/newbie/best childhood friend who she falls in love with at the end of the movie.
She has a tiny carryon suitcase yet she wears 20 different jumpers, 10 wool coats, an evening gown and loads of leather boots.
She's always learns that being a career girl isn't true fulfilment but staying with her man is way more important.

I wonder if the Hallmark films are targeted to the preferences of their demographic who might want their choices validated rather than challenged?

That there are millions of films, where the plot line is based upon a Boogey man/crazy man stalking and trying to murder women and girls.

And we watch this for our "entertainment", without questioning how this might be affecting boys and girls brains as they grow up.

If you're in a precarious situation with a group of friends, the wisest option is to split up and explore.

The only exceptions to the vomiting thing are rookie male detectives who nearly always throw up at their first murder scene/post mortem....

That anyone religious is automatically a perv / serial killer / other kind of bad guy.. You can’t just be a regular churchgoer going about your life quietly.

Any sort of action film:

• how good the main "good" guys' shooting aim is; and
• how bad the "baddies" shooting aim is

Any sort of film with driving scenes:

• Automatic car - no shot of driving / wheel / peddles
• Manual car - must show "excellent" driver changing gears!

Ditto anyone who listens to classical music.

Watch "Just Friends", it's literally the same plot but the other way round (and it's very silly)

Action film - often black supporting protagonist will be non-fatally injured enough so the white protagonist must save the day on their own. Not always though even with the same director - [spoilers] Think both protagonists sort of survive in the Thing, less so for They Live.

Characters should recognise the genre of film they're in, art house character-driven means angsty survival is more likely though life might not be worth living. Sci fi or slasher less so. Recognise your place and role too, protagonist means survival more likely, red shirt then less so unless they get lucky and promoted to main cast like Guy?

Braveheart and William Wallace being a paedophile. He has an affair with Edward II's wife Isabella, who in reality was a very young child at the time of Wallace's death.

That door was plenty big enough for 2 people.

She was also still in France at the time of his death, so in real life never met William Wallace. Braveheart has been described as the most historically inaccurate film ever made!

Yes - Con Air is another example of this. Baby-O spends most of the film semi-paralysed due to diabetes, and then just when he gets his insulin, he's non-fatally shot by Cyrus the Virus.

Unless it is Thanksgiving the only vegetables Americans eat in films are green beans.

Hahaha, these are brilliant - both the post and the reply 😆
