Post stupid things that only work in movies

Post Reply New Topic

Since this thread was posted in the L&D section, I'm trying to stick with that theme. If I were to post about movies in general or the Spongebob Squarepants movies, I would have an endless supply of material to chose from & could never stop posting

Someone objects at the last minute of a wedding & confesses feelings for the bride or groom. Then the bride or groom calls the wedding off & kisses the person who confessed their feelings for em & those two run out together.

Guy walks up to a vehicle that hasn't moved in years and is able to get it not only to run but stop and drive reliably.

Sorry but this virtually never happens! In the real world you're asking for trouble because of what happens when oil decomposes (yes, it does decompose like all natural substances) because it releases acid triggering something called electrolytic action; the shell bearings are coated in white metal (lead based) while the crankshaft is steel; you have basically got a battery and the shell bearings become eroded.

And there is the other little issue; most older vehicles had no oil filter and often within the crankshaft you get dried out sludge when it gets stood long enough. When fresh oil hits this it can block an oil way or, worse, become a very effective grinding paste destroying any bearing it is forced into.

Then we get to the subject of dried out seals in the brakes and the braking system in general.....older vehicles often had mild steel brake pipes which eventually burst.

Two characters hate each other and argue constantly. They end up as a couple and live happily ever after.

In reality they broke up a month later.

In the final scene the bad guy always runs UP stairs in the tall building, instead downstairs to the street level.

So it's always easy for the good guys trap him on the roof top, instead of having to chase him out onto to the street where he has the whole city to hide in.

Damn. Sounds super hot to watch but it seems that I need something that helps me to save my ass from that.
Despite I'm a carnivore I could require some beans beside of that garlic to blow away all magic powder in such cases ... but of course that could cause your bat to drop from the ceiling and becoming awfully hurt and fearing for its life.
I need to find a more pet friendly plan right now like dipping my ass into holy water or using mosquito spray on it ...

Ten years from now: I confess to hurtloam 'Your profile image still makes my skin crawl because it's in such opposition to your writing style'
Hurtloam confesses 'I'm not gay' then proceeds to kiss my lips.

Yeah... Only in movies.

In reality they really love the makeup sex That is something I never understood. I feel like cr@p when me & my girlfriend have a fight & having sex would be the last thing I'd want.

Often there’s a chopper waiting for the bad guy.
And the good guy always takes it down with a handgun.

I love make-up sex too much but I must fight the attraction. The more distant I perceive to be emotionally to a person the more I need and crave reconnect. This is one strategy predators use to attract some people, to argue with them, leaving them lovesick and desperate, worrying if it's over.

But things must be taken slow after a fight for both people to work on their negative emotions, process, forgive and rekindle in time instead of rushing the process and accumulate negative emotions fight after fight unable to avoid fights because the consequences are inexistent.

Besides, the victim [if an offense was done] needs to implement time and consequences to help themselves heal and restore the equality and justice in the relationship [e.g. sleeping on the couch not in bed next to the victim]. This helps the offender learn too and not take committing offenses lightly. People instinctively avoid and learn to steer clear of the stove if it burns. If the offender is committed he will accept the consequence and help the victim heal, giving the relationship chances of success in time throughout the tests of life [for better and for worse til death do our parts].

Don't be afraid, it might sting but vampires are immune to covid, being part bats. It will be just like an injection, your vaccine.

Then you will stay in lockdown tightly in chains until it has its effect while Im making potions for taming the new beast in you [and for trapping you loyally to your queen, mwehehe!] and have you drink a lot of liquids from wine glasses.

I know you want to climb up the magical beanstalk into the clouds [the stairway to heaven], but rest assured you can have all my golden eggs and I will let you play my big golden harp.
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
I smell the blood of a German man.
Be he alive, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread~


Ettin wrathful chants weaken men and empower the creature. Energy feeding, necro much?

Grand romantic gestures.

In real life, if you did what the guys in most sh_tty rom-coms do, you'd be labled a stalker and written-off as a creep.

I feel sorry for the guys that fall for this crap.

That will most likely be your last mistake. I may look like an angel but I can't play the harp like one.
You will start to bleed out of your ears if I'm playing the harp until you are bloodless thing on the ground and helpless begging for mercy and not touching the harp anymore. The ears of you toy bat will most likely turn inside or fall off.
Sorry - but I know me and once I'm obsessed with playing then I'll do until it rocks and the sound makes your golden eggs jump and break and kills whatever is inside of them ... But don't worry. It's still better if I'm trying to play a harp then me starting with singing ...

Protagonist becomes adept with weapons within a few lessons then beats a Master of this craft who has been practicing for years.

I guess you are right. The big question that remains is why especially women are as much into watching that crap. Many rom-coms are as oily and fatty as Disney movies and it's really hard to get rid of the stains in the carpet under that TV afterwards. Is that part of that masochism that some women are into? Is their pain the reason why some of them are even in tears afterwards? I know that a bit of pain can be a turnon for some women ...

Since this thread is supposed to be about romance movies (not that I really watch any romance movies), I'll give the only romance-related thing I can think of.

When teenage boy characters seem absolutely clueless at talking to girls they like, even the most outgoing, popular ones. And they humiliate themselves as they fail being cool.
I know teenagers are awkward in real life but not as cringingly awkward as they are in the movies. When I was at high school even the shy nerds managed to speak to pretty girls without breaking out in a foul-smelling sweat or tripping over their own feet when approaching.

How come on programmes like The A Team they bothered with guns? No one ever was hit so it was pointless using them!
