Post What Happens In Movies....
on: December 26, 2013 02:51
Name some things that happen in movies that will never happen in real life. Whether it's things you see or things people say...anything. This could go on forever.

Ex: People's sinks are always empty of dirty dishes.

The way doctors and nurses act around each other in movies and relationships between doctors, nurses, and patients is often SOOOO unrealistic. For instance, a doctor and a patient have a romantic relationship and everyone is fine with it - in real life that could get the doc in a ton of trouble. If for some reason he or she does fall in love with a patient, said patient should be transferred to another provider for care as it could be seen as totally inappropriate. Another one is doctors and nurses all having intimate relationships with each other - um, no... not professional and if you're caught messing around you're in a whole lotta trouble! The focus is healthcare, not romance, and if you let it interfere you're doing a disservice to EVERYONE! Eeesh... Sorry, just my irritation showing after a day of slogging through a ton of work at my clinic. :/

Oooh, look, a tree falls across that path right at that exact moment when someone is fleeing from danger!

Yes Belle, I get your point. Things like that annoy me too!

~The whole love relationship thing over all always works out right. The handsome man gets the perfect girl, they fall in love, they have beautiful children and live happily ever after, THE END!
~The days go by way too fast
~The good guys always recover from a major injury just in time to come back and save the other good guys from an attack from the evil dude.

There is a clear group of bad guys. In real life thee are loads and loads of bad guys an hardly anyone is actually completely good.
If anyone had happened to look out of a window on the east side of the palace, they might have noticed two figures in the darkness, dancing in a square bordered by living plants, out of time with the dancers inside but perfectly in time with each other.

Taking into account how many people there actually are in the world, so no offense meant to anyone... I'm sure you're all good guys!

The Enterprise has Warp Drive. And Beaming. Ask Einstein and Heisenberg or their students (of any generation) about that.

When people fall in love it is hardly ever as awkward as in real life... it all just works out for them.
I don't really know if this counts, but when people randomly start singing and everyone seems to know the words, even though if that happened in real life everyone would think you were a complete idiot, and hardly anyone would know the words.

High School Musical, anyone?


-When books that are made into movies have all sorts of factual errors that make you want to rip out your hair.
-When even after a long and brutal fight, the heroine (never seems to happen to heros) comes out absolutely unharmed.

Both warp drive and spontaneous synchronised singing are at least possibilities, as I'm sure Einstein would concur. I think it's the more serious movies (or films as we call them) that matter. Believe it or not some people do fall in love and live happily ever after. If I didn't believe that I would throw myself into the nearest...um...dilithium crystal refinery?

What annoys me is how everyone waits politely for the other person to finish speaking...almost as if it's scripted! No, no I haven't finished. Errr.... I don't like how spaceships make a whooshing noise. In space! Like, a vacuum. No sound in space. Just music. Strauss is nice.

Yeah Wolfie, my sisters have talked about that before.

The bad guys almost always show up at the end. Unexplained. I find it rather amusing.

People manage to crush things with their bare hands. Stuff like... apples... and full glasses... (and never get covered in gunk or pieces of glass)

People have perfectly white teeth, unless they are especially not meant to. Anyone watched the Merlin tv program? There would have been no toothpaste whatsoever! (apart from maybe really bad ones that didn't work)

People never seem to get their hair messed up (heroins, mostly).

Lol good point about the Merlin show. I wasn't really paying attention to their teeth, but come to think of it, they were pretty perfect. I've only seen a couple of those shows anyway.

Yes, hair and makeup. And if they get hurt at all, it's usually an epic scratch on the cheek or something.

No matter how long someone is supposed to have been in a location, they never have to go to the bathroom.

They don't come out absolutely unharmed, findemaxam. Heroines always have one single scrape perfectly aligned to accentuate the cheekbone. hehe.

Haha you guys are all making some really good points! Huldah, I never realized about the bathroom thing, but now that I think about it, that's totally true
I hate it when you can guess what's about to happen in the movie, like they use cliché lines and events where you're like "I totally saw THAT coming." I like the unexpected in movies
"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!"

Whenever there is a river, there always seems to be a waterfall, and if someone falls over the waterfall they always seem to be completely unhurt.

^That's a good one too.
People never stutter or stop to think of what to say. They always have everything that they want to say planned. Me, on the other hand, has to say someones name, wait and hold my head while I remember what I was about to say, laugh, then it comes to my head sometime later when it's not important anymore.

When people say really obvious things that leave you yelling, "Duh!"

Example:

"If there's a key, there's a door."
"There's another way in."

I think they even made a movie making fun of this silliness in some movies:

When the hero has a six-shot revolver but fights a five-minute (longer?) gun battle without ever reloading.

When kids are in school and they have 20 minutes passing time between classes. (In America, you have three to five minutes to get from class to class, not sure how it works in other countries.)

We get five minutes.

When people call off an engagement because they've fallen in love with someone else, and everyone is okay with this. Though sometimes the guy who is dumped does get a bit upset.

When girls wake up in the morning in full makeup.

When a movie is set in a jungle and the men are in full camouflage gear and the women are in the teeniest of shorts and tank tops.

There are never any piles of dirty laundry laying around.

Bahahahaha! I've noticed that too.

The good guys are usually outnumbered, and they almost always get reinforcements as soon as they most need it.

And the gif reminds me of another one. The policemen are always useless, unless the movie is about police officers, and only the protagonists are good the rest is stupid.
