Movie cliches

in sitcoms: the dumb (or almost brain-dead) sibling who can come up with a zinger in nanoseconds.

not always true: sometimes they blow up before they get to the bottom.

I was just watching a horrible movie called master minds today...Patrick Stewart and some guy I think was on boy meets world...Full of Hacting...This kid hacks in to get the print of scream 2 three days before it's released...he's using a modem and quickly going through these digitally rendered hallways and then when he ends up "Getting in" it takes a single evening to download the whole movie...on a modem...in 1998...

Another good one is whenever two people are seeing a therapist, at one point in the discussion, one of them is always asked to leave, ussualy after the other has made a "Break Through"

Also, if there is a brit in the movie they have to make either a Monty Python Reference, or a James Bond Reference (If all else fails, then a simple reference to the Queen will suffice)

I can't think of any examples of that happening. Lots of movies come to mind where that doesn't happen. What am I missin'?

psych hospitals never turn their lights on.

TURN THE DAMN LIGHTS ON!!!!

Has anyone ever come close to Skeletor or Cobra Commander in this arena? They should give seminars on this.

Yeah, like the whole Cobra-La/Golobulus turn of events in GI Joe, the movie. That was a bombshell!

it's mostly in crappy disney movies anyway, don't worry about it.

I also tend to lump television into the same category with movie cliches

The hooker with the heart of gold.

The [mentally disabled] person who teaches everyone else mystical truths about life, understanding and compassion.

Sorry, sometimes hookers are rotten dumbass junkies, and sometimes the mentally disabled do little but wear velcro shoes and drool on themselves.

I hate that no matter how many times Robocop gets deactivated, he always has enough bad memories to give himself a full charge.

Maybe I missed it, but a big just occurred to me.

Classes usually end 30 seconds after a scene begins, and it catches the teacher and class completely off-guard, mid sentence, no one itching to leave yet.

PWNED

HEY.

I'm serious.

aha! found it!
