^^That’s a good one…yeah car alarms are overused in movies.
I just watched the trailer for Brave the new Pixar movie that seems to be about a princess that wants to compete in archery, and it made me think that we’ll never ever see the end of movies that pander to women by showing them a woman doing great things as though women are all sitting around feeling useless until a movie or TV show with a woman doing things somehow makes it all seem within reach.
I mean it is within reach, but I don’t think there will ever be a woman who attains greatness that will then attribute her success to the inspiration of a fictional character.
That’s just me though.
I just think that in 1000 years during the behind-the-scenes of whatever form of holographic/interactive entertainment we will have there will still be the main actress saying "It’s great not to be playing the damsel in distress that just screams for the hero to help her and to get to do some fighting in this role to show young women out there watching that they can be whatever they want."[/quote]
yeah i just saw that trailer and i thought the same thing! Like aaah, so predictable. I’m sure later in the movie she’ll beat up 100 men who are all 2x her size too.

First time I saw the trailer for this I thought it was a “How to Train Your Dragon” sequel.
Pixar is totally stealing the feel of that movie with Brave.
Bet your ass I’ll watch it though because I love scots.
When they show a car get T-boned from the inside and from the passenger’s perspective. They usually show the headlights of the oncoming car one second before so you don’t get too shocked/startled.
Anyway…that’s been done so many times. Just another one of those things they can do now with CG.
Same with someone running out into the street and then getting hit by a car or truck or bus really fast. It happens in most every Final Destination.

I thought Rob Zombie did it best in Devil’s Rejects … it always makes me laugh when it happens I don’t know why but as soon as the impact happens I chuckle … I’m actually chuckling right now thinking about it

Eddie Murphy went the same road as Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
They went from being pro-active comics(where they do wacky shit) to reactive comics, where they have a “OMG!Why me?!” look on their movie poster.[/quote]
Akin to that is when a movie franchise sucks in its gut so to speak by not putting a number after their third sequel and instead go for a byline…like instead of Mission: Impossible 4 it’s Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

Cell phones are clearly a huge problem for modern scary movies. They can’t keep using the, “I’ve got no signal” bullshit forever. Eventually, someone will place a cell tower near the Texas Chainsaw ranch and then no more scary movies will ever be made.

Haha good point, you think the modern film making scene would of moved on with technology,
I can’t wait for some to say ‘damn, no signal’ and the response is ‘just log into the god damn wifi and facebook them!’

If they’ve got Cricket Wireless, it won’t make much difference.
This is a sci-fi one…but when someone dies and there’s a funeral, it seems like only Earthlings mourn their dead. Every other alien race seems to think that the death of a loved one is just a new beginning and that the life of the one who’s dead should be celebrated.
This is one I read somewhere else, but also a sci-fi one:
In the future, if someone is about to do something big someone else will say how the hero will go down in history with 2 names from Earth history and then one more strange name to show it’s the future.
ex: “Captain, if you break the Warp barrier you’ll go down in history with Columbus, Einstein and Gyuuriolikaa of Epsilon VII!”
Also in sci-fi is no one seems to eat chocolate or drink whiskey from earth anymore. It all has to be Aldebarran whiskey or Tarkalian chocolate.
