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.

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...

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.

While true, hot-wiring is rarely necessary since everyone keeps their keys in the overhead visor.

 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
