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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

Sandy should absolutely not have had to change her identity in order for Danny to want to be seen with her in public.

That Rupert Friend looked really hot in a Nazi uniform in ^^The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Loads of people own dogs who require no walking etc.

Why are the hyenas not allowed to eat in the Lion King?

That any woman who says no to a man doesn't really mean it.

And violence solves everything.

😂 😂 So true!

@NeverDropYourMooncup true! And that acting like a deranged stalker is romantic.

Bridesmaids (and others I'm sure).
Who wears their bra during sex?

Why don’t you ever see any cleaners in the corridors on the starship Enterprise? They’ve got Scottie and his team to keep the engines maintained but what about the vacuuming, dusting, changing sheets and toilet cleaning?

Every American actress is seems!
I did ask a US colleague if that reflected real life in US homes. once he got over my question he assured me that it was onscreen only! Phew! Thought I’d been doing it wrong all that time in Texas.

If some little trollop dropped a house on my sister then stole my favourite pair of shoes I'd be pretty pissed off too..... mostly about the shoes tho.

The country bears
How did no one realise beary bear was a bear? What adoption agency places a bear with humans ?

In the book of Madame Doubtfire IIRC a lot of the story is about the kids realising their dad is super unreliable and him then getting his act together rather than just going on thinking he’s being treated unfairly. I love that book.

And another question about Sleeping With the Enemy.

i never understood why Laura’s (Julia Robert’s) mother in the care home was SO old. Bearing in mind Laura was possibly mid 20s - very early 30s, her mother looked in her mid 80s which wouldn’t really have been possible. Why didn’t the storyline just say she was her grandmother (or got a younger actress to play the part)?

Never trust dodgy bastard men from the internet (You’ve Got Mail)

No, children are not required to look after their parents at old age and if I had a mother who wasn't there to look after me when I really needed it and blamed me for becoming a "teenage tramp", I'd stick her in a care home too if I could afford it.

(She Devil)

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

I actually thought this today - they definitely didn't read up on mindful parenting

How the male bullshit bravado in Top Gun is so out of date these days.

I want to live at Downton.

I would have kissed a jamming Tatum's Leech strewn bum if I was Sandra Bullock in List City.

People in films who go underwater always happen to be one of those free divers who can hold their breath for insane amounts of time. Stranger Things, I'm looking at you, I know Steve was a lifeguard but him holding his breath with no trouble for 2 minutes was totally ridiculous. My teens always try and hold their breath when someone on TV goes underwater and every single time they "die" .

People say that Die Hard 1/2 are Christmas films, in that Christmas is the main point of the film.

To me, Christmas was just a backdrop in the first and last 5 minutes of the films. The other 110 minutes was about a building (and a plane in Die Hard 2) being hijacked with the dynamics between the building/plane occupants / terrorists / Bruce Willis.

Frozen definitely ISN'T a Christmas film!

The Snowman is a Christmas film because it is about Christmas.

How once you cast a male and female lead who have absolutely no chemistry in the first of a trilogy, you are stuck with them for another two films. Looking at you Jurassics.

That it's possible to run harder, faster and longer than an Olympic athlete even when you exist on a diet of doughnuts and coffee and that it's routinely possible to heal knuckles which have punched someone in their concrete head with mild rubbing and a thousand yard stare.

Rosita Pig in Sing did everything in the house, ran herself ragged for her humongous family, but her husband only noticed her when she dressed in kinky sex-pig gear. She deserves better than that.

Also Stuart Little. You go to an orphanage and come out with a mouse?

If you have just birthed a child in the standard labour duration of approximately 97 seconds, you're happy to do it laying flat on your back, there is no blood or placenta, never mind a risk of death for both mother and baby and if you have a caesarian section, you can instantly get up using just the power of your newly separated stomach muscles, there is absolutely zero overhang or stretched skin (or bleeding, see the absence of placenta previously) and sprint for your life - source a) any emergency birth and b) Prometheus.

All those stories about childbirth being the number one cause of death for women and children? Nonsense, according to Hollywood.

The sound of music taught me that whistling is a brilliant way to get your children's attention. I don't use a whistle but I have a different whistle for each of my children. It works better than the doorbell hack and means I don't have to shout!
