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

[DoDoDoooooo]

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

Any others?

Don't know if anyone has mentioned the 'Actresses straight after a love scene malarky' ? Why suddenly cover up your beasts with the sheets when - presumably-your partner has already hopefully enjoyed full and prolonged view and access to them?

Have you been watching on film 4 too?

No, but I saw it in the TV guide, so I suppose that jogged my memory.

Bryce Dallas Howard's character would be arrested and charged with gross negligence manslaughter after Jurassic world, not just sit in a hangar making plans..I'm pretty sure the pteradon on the promenade victims family might see her as someone who had huge sway in the safety protocol of the park, and couldn't foresee a single problem with a single door enclosure for the big white pshycho Dino. Jesus, even budgie keepers have 'airlock' doors

I’m reminded of Sarah Michelle Gellar running across a park and round a department store in heels and a prom dress. Unfortunately she didn’t get away. 😂

It's impossible to spell pshyschco

That strong emotions (in film and TV) are almost always expressed through vomiting. (Emetophobic here - I really notice this!) It seems to happen at least once in every one these days.

Is this because faces have been made immobile and vomiting is easier to act than shock or horror or distress?

1. You can commit an unspeakably horrific act of splitting up identical twins at birth and not tell them and they'll forgive you just as long as you take them on their camping trip

2. You can become so convincing as the other twin that you fool their parent yet nobody in an entire summer camp realises that you're identical twins

3. dogs and butlers are wayyy smarter and more insightful than parents (probably actually acurate 🤣)

.. The exception to the breast covering was Alex in Fatal attraction though.. Kudos to Glenn Close.

American kids never finish their breakfast before the school bus arrives. Ever. What a waste. Can they not get up five minutes earlier ffs.

That Matthew Broderick and his girlfriend just trot off and go in an AIRPLANE to another state, while at school, without telling their parents, AND they can afford it! We were like oh... That's like us bunking P.E and casually flying to Magaluf for a jolly before tea time and top of the pops, with our £15 Saturday wages (wargames)

'Maybe there was room on the door' he did try to get on the door but it was going to tip over with the weight of them both. I'm sure if they weren't half frozen they could have managed it

@Justleaveitblankthen they cover their tits to then put their holdups on. Then in the next scene, the dress is so short it must be tights. I get very angry about this. They wear tights in angry British films though.

Nicole Kidman's whispering. She does it in a lot of her films now that I've started to notice it.

There's a scene in Queen of the Desert where it's just her, some other actor (can't remember his name at the moment) and a camel. Miles and miles of sand and nothing else and Nicole Kidman is whispering. Was she worried the camel might overhear them?

Aargh. So many but:

Avatar - people being invaded by Americans need an American hero to defend them. They will be happy to engage in sexual stuff with this American

Pretty Woman - street prostitution is all ‘carpet picnics’ and escargots with handsome millionaires who are impressed by you flossing your teeth and driving a manual car

Can you imagine discovering that your ex-husband had been in your house all along, disguised? I'd need trauma therapy forever.

No woman takes as long to orgasm as I do.

In horror or suspense films no one turns on the lights before they go into a room that contains the axe wielding maniac

When we watched Teen Wolf, I was struck by two things:

American sixth-formers seem to drive themselves to school in their own cars.

In America, lacrosse is a super-butch, rufty-tufty game played by men wearing body armour and helmets, not a game associated with posh girls wearing PE kit.

Hermione should have ended up with one of the weasley twins - not ron. Why couldn't hagrid have adopted Harry? Harry should have ended up Luna Lovegood.

That labour begins with a HUGE contraction that makes you bend over, clutch your belly or back, and groan really loudly. None of those little twinges that make you wonder "Is this labour starting?" and gradually increase to harder and longer contractions.

Oh and when you have that one HUGE contraction that tells you you're in labour, you better hustle because your water is going to break in the next 20 seconds and your labour will progress to delivery in anywhere from 5-12 minutes.

Can I add TV?

Saint Marie is not a safe place to visit if you are white. I swear it was 3 seasons in before anyone of colour was killed in Death in Paradise. Also they all work the same hours, no one does a night shift.

All TV shows with small teams if one person leaves the next person to replace them will be the same sex. So if your team is led by a male it will always be led by a male. If you have a female Dr and leave your replacement will be female.

In many cases your replacement will also look like you.

Eyebrows - this is a real bugbear, you may have been in a psychiatric facility for 10 years, live in a Viking village or be in a war zone but you will have perfectly shaped eyebrows.

And this is one of many plot issues…you are spot on.

Yes, this! 😂
Love that film but have always wondered the same.
Have always wondered why she'd go back to the beach house they lived in to grab her stuff and flush her ring
if you've gone to the trouble of faking your own death, hiding your mum in a nursing home after pretending she was dead to keep her safe, and you took secret swimming lessons so he'd think you d drowned?!
Come on lol

Who said Romeo abd Juliet were a pair of eejits?

you’re spot on but they were 15. We are all eejits at 15. The real love story is people lasting 50 years of marriage it’s not as glam tho eh

Then again can see why there needed to be a bit of leeway as there'd have to be some way of questioning her "death" -not much of a thriller if he never had reason to suspect and she went undetected lol
