Things You Learned From The Movies

Hotwife

In consideration of the other thread where someone was amazed that someone could be shot in the face with a pistol and live, I'd like each of you to post little nuggets of wisdom that you learned from the movies.

I'll start:

No one ever needs to urinate after sex.

When people make out after near-fatal disasters, everyone has fresh breath.

The only ugly people work in labs, schools, operation centers or give you your equipment. (for some reason, ugly people never have sex, either)

When the person you're talking to on the phone hangs up, you get a dialtone again.

99.9% of laptops are Apples.

You can pop a wheelie while spinning your tires (see Fast and Furious).

Tires will screech while on dirt or gravel.

If it's dark out and you're alone in a foreign place, you will get lost. Women take note.

If you're driving a black Trans Am in a cowboy hat, no one can catch you.

If a helicopter armed with machine guns is shooting at you while you're running, it will miss and the lines of bullet impacts will pass on both sides while you escape without a scratch up the middle.


If you're the hero, you'll get laid by the hot looking woman, regardless of your past or hers.

Lol. I have it on excellent authority that it's not only normal but healthy to urinate once one has ejaculated, in oder to clean out anything extra still in the pipe.

On many phones, you actually do, you know. (At least in Germany)

This sums up what movies, specifically Disney movies, have taught me. You know, important lessons, like your success depends on others dying, your bad situation will improve if you do absolutely nothing and wait for your fairy godmother to fix everything, and (for the ladies) you should marry the first guy to rape you in your coma.

things I learn in movies.

Macs can interface easily with alien technology. (ID4)

The object sought after won't be important at all. (Transformers)

The UNIVERSE love Irony (all the villians who proclaimed themselves invincible immediately die afterwards.)

Guns don't run out of ammo unless it becomes a plot point.

One karate chop is enough to render a person unconcious.

no one goes to the bathroom unless it's to have a meeting, a humours encounter or to have a fight.

After somehow disarming the bad guy with a clever series of MacGyver-like moves (bubble gum, paper clips, and a phone book usually does the trick), don't bother picking up the bad guy's weapon. You won't really need it.

Heh, this is pretty funny, though the Hunchback of Notre Dame one does contradict the "hero always gets laid" rule in the first post of the thread.

From the Beauty and the Beast one: "After a spoiled prince pretty much tells an old beggar woman to fuck off, he is transformed into a beast, as it turns out the beggar is an enchantress. And she makes it very clear that until he learns to love and thus is loved in return, there will be no ladies in his life and it's just going to be him and his hand for a very long time." I found that especially unfortunate...considering he's got claws. Ouch?

If you're a butch, chisled good looks and have massive muscles you'l pull all the girls and kill the bad guys in time for the ride into the sunset on a motorbike.
If you're skinny as a rake, obsessed with looks, spends a fortune on clothes and smile alot you'l pull rich handsome men.
The only emotion women are allowed to express is either lust/love/giggling,
the only emotion men are allowed to express is either man jokes/anger/sadness.

big disasters only happen to rich white males, even then the black guy always dies. Or rich white male that loses his wealth and has to fight for it back, one mugging at a time
Disabled people physically or otherwise don't exist, fat people don't exist except to be laughed at.
Comedians are funny all the time and have no ability to express emotion except sadness.

All sheets in movie land are sort of L-shaped. The female lead will be covered up to the shoulders or so, the male up to the waist.

Women are more likely to wear a t-shirt that will become see-through when wet and go without a bra in wet weather.

Bullets damage their target depending on who fires them. Bullets fired from the hero can sever limbs and penetrate any material that isn't explicitly bullet proof. Bullets fired from the mooks will cause little more than grazes and be stopped by anything one wears in a pocket above the heart. Bullets fired from the villian can kill anyone except the hero or his love interest(usually), but will rarely fatally injure the hero.

I learned that a man driving a car with one flat tire on a bumpy, twisting road at 90 mph while in pursuit of another car can fire a small pistol and hit the tire (at which he was aiming) on the car he's pursuing.

I learned that, when a car going over 100 mph goes over a cliff and catches fire on impact, it's possible for every passenger and the driver to jump out before it goes over and remain uninjured.

I learned that you can hear explosions in a vacuum and that explosive decompression doesn't happen in Star Trek, Star Wars or BattleStar Galactica.

If you're a fanatical geek long enough, eventually it will pay off (Galaxy Quest)

If you fall in love, and fall in love hard, it will end abruptly and painfully (usually thanks to some IDIOT at FoxNetwork) (Firefly, which was cancelled after 11 episodes - best tv show ev-ah).

if you die in one universe, you're reincarnated in another (every sci-fi show ever written)

you can make deal w/ the enemy - but never make the mistake of calling the enemy "friend" (Stargate Atlantis)

Keanu Reeves actually can act (Lake House), which means that even when life seems absolute, it can still surprise you.

Joss Whedon is the best story teller alive. Of course, subsequently, he is desperately hated in Hollywood - and if THAT doesn't teach you something important, nothing will.

"You always...ALways...learn something....making a movie. I make movies...sometimes...nobody sees them. I've made movies even I haven't seen. But you learn something.

For example...I was making King of New York...a good film. Wow, lotta talent. Lotta talent in one place, that movie.

Anyway, this blonde. I don't know who she is. Who she was. Somebody, an actress...blonde. Slinky. Make yer member...hard.

I learned something....in her trailer, I learned...a woman...woman's body, like the guy in the song said, its a wonderland. Like a wonderland, her body.

And not all women have a gag reflex. Its true, you should find out. Its part of life."

US Airforce pilots don't need to look on their radars to know MiGs are approaching, they just know it by hearing the soundtrack switching to "baddies' theme".

Inertia doesn't exists, not even in freefall (Star Trek the Movie among the others).

You can survive (without injuries!) being run over by an F5+ tornado merely with the help of a 2" water pipe and a leather belt. (Twister)

BAe Harriers can hover for an indefinite amount of time, and are just as maneuverable as helicopters. Also sunglasses allow you to look directly into a nuke blasting no more than 15 km away, without any side effect on your tissues. (True Lies)

All submarines have high-pressure steam pipes running everywhere, with safety valves discharging directly over the commander's seat.

You can load a 1/4 cubic metre of gold (about 5000 kg) into the back trunk of a Mini and have no effect whatsoever on performance and adherence. (The Italian Job)

Heroes do not suffer from swelling, visible bruising, or broken bones after engaging in fierce hand to hand combat. They do however bleed from the corner of their mouths quite often.

When heroes or arch villians are slashed by a sword or knife, they rarely suffer wounds any deeper than a cat scratch. The only exception to this would be limbs in the Star Wars galaxy.

Two handguns are extremely accurate, especially when fired from both hands simultaneously.

You clearly haven't seen Dog Soldiers. One bloke is shut in a room with a werewolf. Instead of shitting himself, he takes it on with his bare hands and beats it almost to the floor. He then proceeds to stab it repeatedly in the face with a kebab skewer and throws assorted pots and pans at it. This fails, and the werewolf lifts him up by the neck. He then spits in its face and says, "I hope I give you the shits." Pretty solid if you ask me.

That's about as badass as it gets.

You obviously underestimate the importance of tea to the average British squaddie.

Shoot at them, blow them up with mines, even stop curry Tuesdays in the mess and they'll just sit around making cock jokes. Take away their tea and there'll be a riot.

Since it was the actual house of the werewolves? And the stew they were eating were the previous victims of said werewolves? Definitely.

You clearly haven't seen Dog Soldiers. One bloke is shut in a room with a werewolf. Instead of shitting himself, he takes it on with his bare hands and beats it almost to the floor. He then proceeds to stab it repeatedly in the face with a kebab skewer and throws assorted pots and pans at it. This fails, and the werewolf lifts him up by the neck. He then spits in its face and says, "I hope I give you the shits." Pretty solid if you ask me.
His name was Spoon, and you're forgetting that the werewolves only get him when a second one enters the room (the second one knocks the pan out of his hands).
There's also the diversion scene ("We need something really loud and really fast," and then everyone turns to look at him.)

what I learned from Movies...

this up comming Star Trek film will suck.

why? because it's the 11th Star Trek film and we all know that the Odd numbered films suck.

or

it's the 1st of a rebooted series and being the First... yadda yadda yadda... :D

It used to be that the even-numbered ones were supposed to be the best. That apparently ceased to be the case with Nemesis however. I remain optimistic.

More things (Horror movie verisons)

#6: If you are a virgin female, and you just have had your cherry popped, usually you'll be dead before the next time the sun rises.

#7: No matter how many people you are starting out with (5, 10, 100, 5000...) the villain usually cannot be 'defeated' until there is only one of the original number left.

#8a: No matter how fast you run away, the villain will always catch up with you.
#8b: No matter how slow you run away, the villain will chase you at a slower pace.

#9: If you are a guy and you hear a strange noise, and you go investigate it, you will be dead within 5 minutes.

#10: If you are the sole survivor after killing the villain, within a year, you'll be his first new victim.

Kevin Smith gave me my favorite bit of Philosophy...

"I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant." - Rufus the Thirteenth Apostle...

Its probably stupid to base your religion off a Movie, but, damn if thats not the best philosophy for a religion ever, lol...

^This.

1/4 of the worlds landmass and 1/3 of the world population under our tea-drinking Imperial bootheel beg to differ.

Everyone knows the colonies only drank tea so the British wouldn't throw a hissy-fit.

Anyway, I've learned a couple things from movies

For one thing, you can cause bad things to happen simply by saying that things can't get worse, by saying that things are too quiet, or other things to that effect.

When you find incriminating evidence on someone, they will automatically know. So when you bring the police, they'll have cleaned it up.

As long as you don't get shot in the face or the chest, you'll live. You'll probably heal relatively quickly too.

Related the one above; Bulletproof vests only work if they're hidden under your clothing. Otherwise you're fucked. If and when they work however, they can stop pretty much fucking everything ever.

In a horror, when you are fighting for your life, and manage to get out of the house where the killer is, rather than run like hell down the road, you creep around the house trying to find him

If you know a killer is stalking you and could potentially be anywhere, the first person you call is your best friend

One day white people and black people and even Chinese People can gamble together and not get diffrent chips

If you construct traps where the people pretty much kill themselves trying to escape your trap, you're not a murder since you know...you didn't actually do the actual act itself.

Jigsaw had a good idea with Instant Rehabilitation. (See SAW V)

If a strange black man in the bad part of town, in a run down abandoned building offers you some pills, it's completely alright to trust him!

Apparently back in England in the 60's you can be a sex symbol and still have bad teeth.

Women will always put out for the jerk, mainly because the jerk looks hot, has a car and treats you like shit. Meanwhile the ugly genuine bastard is stowed away in some dusty corner of the basement, because no one likes an uggo, too depressing.

People apparently have more respect for the ass, than the nice guy.

Not a movie, but:

He couldn't catch her because this was London, and not a million miles from here--seven hundred and fifty miles to be exact, in Pisa, where Galileo had clearly demonstrated that two falling bodies fell at exactly the same rate of acceleration irrespective of their relative weights.

They fell.

Arthur realized as he fell, giddily and sickeningly, that if he was going to hang around the sky believing everything the Italians had to say about physics when they couldn't even keep a simple tower straight, that they were in dead trouble, and he damn well did fall faster than Fenchurch.

Not sure if it's been said already, but any incredibly, ridiculously big predator (shark, T-rex, Godzilla, you name it) will spend hours chasing after humans, even if there are plenty other, bigger animals around and the thing could use humans as toothpicks.

Also, all dinosaurs roar.

And aliens always do the opposite of what is expected (if humanity expects them to be friendly, they turn out hostile, and if humanity expects them to be hostile, they turn out to have friendly intentions and are offended by the mistrust).

Also, aliens always arrive or land at night, and always arrive or land in the US first.

That's because our human spirit--the thing that makes us love, hurt, feel, fight against all odds, triumph over any hardship, makes good triumph over evil, and will always come through when the chips are down--also has the unfortunate side-effect of making us unbelievably delicious.

More Action movie Cliches!

Every evil villain has an unbeatable sidekick, until the final showdown, when the hero will kick his ass.

Its perfectly legal to hotwire a car and chase after someone.

No matter what kind of car the hero drives, it can catch up with whichever car he is chasing. Even if the hero is in a 40-year-old VW Bug, with 4 flat tires and he's chasing a brand new Masserati, he'll catch up.

Repeatedly punching or torturing a henchman is a great way to find out where the villain is located at.
