Things I've Learned at the Movies

Always count your shots.
You can fix a leak in a WWII submarine by tightening the correct pipe.
Computers in totally alien spacecraft run Microsoft operating systems.
A senior citizen can still be an action hero.
Sexually active teenage girls at summer camps face certain death at the hands of a deranged killer. Abstinence will keep them alive for at least fifteen minutes the following summer.
Only in outer space does the captain lead an away team.
It’s possible to have sex with any woman on the first date. How is still a mystery? My letters to Sean Connery on this point have not been answered.

[KingChas]

If armed with a gun in each hand by oneself ,

Writers excel at creating the bad guy, not so much the good guy. Just to make it worse, casting people seem to do great at casting the bad guy, then throw whoever in the role of good guy. I've always wondered why the elements of making a bad guy seem so genuine and natural and making the good guy seems contrived and superficial.

[therussmeister]

Popcorn is really expensive.

[BlueShoe]

The Instant-One-Shot-Stop is alive and well. When hit by even a small caliber slug fired by the hero the bad guy or guys drop as if struck by a giant thunderbolt. Real life shoot outs disprove this oftentimes myth, but who cares? After all, this is Hollywood, right?

[Actor]

Car batteries die at the worst possible momentI didn't have to go to the movies to learn that one. :lol:

[PhantomOnTour]

Do not, under ANY circumstances, try to track and capture a bad ass Vietnam vet green beret in the mountains of the American northwest....but if you must, bring a good supply of body bags.

Come on. That's easy. The good guy is always the big box office star. He's basically pre cast. They drop him into a story no matter the details. The bad guy is always cast after, and they always have multiple choices. This leads to some interesting misses by actors too.

Tom Sellck was offered Indiana Jones, prior to Magnum. They thought he was going to be huge at the box office. He turned it down for Magnum

Deniro turned down Silence of the Lambs. It goes on and on. The bad guy? They can take their time to cast.
