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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

All bombs have huge countdown clocks on them.

And it doesn't matter which wire you cut in the end. It will be the correct wire with 1 second or less to go

Under no circumstances should you ever join a club or society that Joyce Barnaby attends

(TV not a film)

I remember thinking why flush it down the loo when you have an entire ocean available to dispose of the ring in.

You're a top human rights lawyer, Mark Darcy, sleeping over at your dizzy girl friend's flat, Bridget Jones, yet all you have is a beautifully folded pair of boxers, no clean shirt or anything for next day.

I would go further, if you see her involved in anything, run a mile.

Read that as 'all boobs have huge countdown clocks on them'.

Quite honestly if I was in a society or club and she joined, I'd leave the same day.

Not because I would fear a cruel and unusual death, but because she is the most tedious and boring person ever to grace the TV - and that includes the World's Most Boring Priest in Father Ted.

Miriam Margolis has never peeled a potato in her life. See massive waste of spud in "Ladies in Lavendar". Only if you like watching shit films in which vegetables are massacred.

This chart that shows how little female characters speak compared to the male characters, in films that won Best Picture. Shocking. Having seen this diagram I now make a point of noticing this in films. Often applies to black/white actors too, especially in anything made pre 2020s.

I mean, the entire point of the whole story is how the trauma the grandmother went through impacted her family through the generations, so it’s a bit more complex than her simply being a “bully”

Special mention for The Barchester Chronicles, which was my first view of Alan Rickman (as Mr Slope). Still in love...

If you tell someone that magic / time travel exists they will immediately believe you. Nobody questions what they've seen as a prank, a con, an impressive trick, cutting-edge (possibly secret) military technology, or proof that they urgently require professional help because they are hallucinating / suffering from delusions.

If you travel into the past and meet yourself you will respond as if you've encountered the cutest child in all of existence and in no way be unsettled or uncomfortable interacting with child 'you'.

If you unexpectedly encounter child 'you' for the first time, your (probably male) love interest will instantly recognise child 'you' from a mile away and will proceed to strike up a conversation because that's not creepy. However, when you are forced to talk to your mother she will treat you with the indifference of a stranger, in no way feel connected to you, and will not pick up on the fact you look exactly like her child and even have a similar voice.

On the subject of time travel, even if you can jump about in time you must always hare about getting things done before some dramatic deadline…….but…but…you can travel through time!!!

Just shows how movies have very few similarities to reality.

Persistent, don't take no for an answer, stalker men are nearly always successful with the object of their affections... In the real world you'd be starting a thread on here about how weird they were and listing the red flags.

or why didn't she pawn it? she could have done with the cash

Never trust a Berlioz fan. Just look at what happened to Shelley Duval ...

thing that irks me about time travel too is wouldn't you get the lotto numbers etc?

Virgin River on Netflix
So one comes into the Jack's bar, orders something (drink or food), gets served, holds the glass for a moment, puts it down and leaves. Without paying and drinking. This was what all the good people did. Baddies paid for their drink and drank it. So good people don't drink or pay. Don't know how Jack is keeping his head above the water and is able to buy new houses almost on the spot.
And if you are pregnant with twins, within two weeks there is a very rich man who is immediately ready to marry you right on the spot. Right.

BTTF why didn't the mother recognise her son in the present time,from seeing him before.( If that makes sense)

Where can you buy the huge watermelons from like the ones in dirty dancing! It’s the only melon I like and always watch it and wonder why you can’t get them in the uk

I really didn't understand that relationship AT ALL and yes yuck he was so much younger!

in fairness she could have forgot him as Marty wasn't born until like 13 years after she met him. There's people I dated albeit 1 night stand where we went to cinema etc in my teens and I'd totally forget what they look like now. She only seen him over the course of a few days in small intervals. Heck there's people I befriended on holiday for a few days around 1 year ago and I'd totally forget what they look like now.

There's a stereotype that women speak a lot more than men but studies show we actually talk a similar amount: www.bbc.com/future/article/20131112-do-women-talk-more-than-men

(That may be what you actually meant of course.)
