Hollywood goes with what works and, let's face it, there are a few things audiences like to see again and again in their movies. The underdog wins big, the loser gets his dream girl, Batman is awesome, etc.
But there are some themes that are either so wrong, stupid or harmful that they need to be retired once and for all. Such as ...

The first time I watched it, my mouth actually fell open when Mr. Incredible talked about how stupid it is to make everyone special until nobody is. Never thought I'd see it in a mainstream movie aimed at kids.
One time my then 8 year old son suckered me while we were playing Halo, and blew my head off with a rocket launcher from about 300 yeads away.
When I respawned, I put a bullet through his helmet with a pistol from at least 100 yards out.
But that was Halo. :-)
Excellent list, BTW,especially item 12.
LOL...
Or any car crash at any speed will almost certainly end in a fireball.
My dad and uncle found the lowlife scum who almost raped my aunt (she ran) and then they ran away abandoning their blocked in vehicle. They put a gasoline soaked rag in the gas tank, lit it on fire, and pushed the truck over the cliff awaiting a HUGE explosion. No dice!!!
Another one: People in movies never finish their meals. They order in a restaurant and when the food arrives they jump up and run out. Kids never eat breakfast, but run through the kitchen saying "Gotta go!"
All I saw in my mind’s eye was calcium dust.
“The other one from the westerns is the guy “fanning” his pistol and actually hitting what he’s shooting at. If you’re holding the trigger down and pulling back and releasing the hammer with your other hand, you have NO ACCURACY!!”
There’s a guy on YouTube who is the fastes shot in the world. He shoots a revolver the way you mention, fanning it and shooting from the hip.
He can hit two targets with incredible accuracy in less than the blink of an eye.

9. Homeless people are just "down on their luck" and aren't alcoholic, drug using, shiftless, lazy, schizophrenic, bipolar, criminals that would attack, rape, rob and murder you.
Myth #1000: Everyone "different," period, is automatically cute & virtuous, with something profound to teach to "normals."
In fact, everyone who is non-male, non-white, and heterosexually challenged wears a halo. The rest are all mean & evil.
The bad guy goes poof and disappears in the explosion but somehow his empty boots remained undisturbed and upright LOL
In Regards to number 12.
A girl friend and I was attending a conference when she found out her Boyfriend was cheating on her. She already had pretty good buzz going and started to drink more. Being the gentleman and friend I am, I got her out of there before she a really bad lifechoice and got her back to the room and made sure she was cool.
She thanked me the next day.

Well, the woman will ALWAYS trip and fall because for some reason, even on a weekend camping trip to a remote cabin, the woman is almost ALWAYS wearing heels, no matter how much whatever she’s doing demands something practical like sneakers.
Never answer the phone if babysitting.
