caracas1914 March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Is it me or do Californians not take off their shoes? Flip flops don't count, naturally. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-984672
methodwriter85 April 12, 2015 Author Share April 12, 2015 (edited) Watching Leap Year reminded me of another great movie lesson...if you are on a road trip and your traveling companion is an attractive person of the opposite sex, you two will fall in love with each other irregardless of whether or not you have respective love interests. (Too bad it doesn't happen in real life, as seen by the Elizabeth Gallagher story.) Also, there will be broken down cars, you'll get robbed, and there will be charming countyside inns if you're in Europe that will force you and said traveling companion to pretend to be married because they're old-fashioned.

Snipsa April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 If the monster is coming at you don't just stand there and scream, RUN! And if you're female and decide to run, TAKE OFF YOUR HEELS FIRST! Not only are you less likely to trip and fall but if the monster catches you, high heels make pretty good improvised weapons. Except in the one episode of Hawaii 5-0 where I applauded the one lady for taking of her high heels when she was being chased, only to have her be pushed from the first floor and the landing on the stiletto, which pierced her aorta. Seems it is damned if you do and damned if you don't... Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1026873
OakGoblinFly May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 All grocery store purchases are placed in a brown paper bag (perfectly squared at the bottom) with a bunch of leafy greens and a baguette sticking out of the top. When hot-wiring a car, said car always has a full tank of gas allowing you to out-run the bad guys. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1162611
Shannon L. May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 When hot-wiring a car, said car always has a full tank of gas allowing you to out-run the bad guys. While true, hot-wiring is rarely necessary since everyone keeps their keys in the overhead visor. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1163107
Popples May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 All grocery store purchases are placed in a brown paper bag (perfectly squared at the bottom) with a bunch of leafy greens and a baguette sticking out of the top. I keep waiting for a show/film to have a character mention how much they love eating celery sandwiches on baguettes. So far, no dice. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1163658
xls May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 People in science fiction movies have apparently never seen a science fiction movie, and therefore don't know that alien ships always have force fields around them. Plus the aliens never come in peace and are up to no good. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1164411
raezen May 20, 2015 Share May 20, 2015 Sounds like the sci-fi genre needs a Scary Movie treatment. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1165945
methodwriter85 June 6, 2015 Author Share June 6, 2015 (edited) If you see a guy who looks like Michael Shannon, RUN. Do not even engage with him. Just back away slowly and break out into a full-throttle run. Sounds like the sci-fi genre needs a Scary Movie treatment. It was called Space Balls, a take off on Star Wars.

raezen June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 Both are good films, but the first is from 1987 and the other from 1999. There has been some changes in movie trends since then and scifi is not so niche anymore. Not with the comic book explosion.

Crs97 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 If you are a cop trying to arrest someone, standard operating procedure is to stand at least ten feet away from said person and get his attention so that he can run and you have to chase him. If you are a female cop, be sure to wear high heels that day. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8512-movie-lessons/page/3/#findComment-1219070
