Along with life lessons we have the movie cliches like every bomb will have a huge digital readout counting down to zero, and the resulting explosion will chase you down a narrow hall way.
6. The American military is full of corrupt, insane generals who want to kill everyone.
8. Prostitutes actually all have hearts of gold .
However, it made no mention of why "In The Valley of Elah," "Lions for Lambs," and other similar garbage is detrimental to our National Security.
PS... Bullet 4 is especially relevant to the rampant narcissism in today's public schools. The mantra of "everyone is a winner" is echoed in the classroom, and reinforced through cinema.
Someone once posted here about hearing a group of schoolkids singing,
"I am special, I am special, look at me, look at me!"
Such egocentric nonsense will yield some tremendously broken spirits once these kids realize how expendable/disposable they are in the real world.
Hollywood plays up this false sense of reality by the individual making some amazing accomplishments in exchange for doing next to nothing.
Or more accurately, the remake of that Yankees movie
GETREAL
I deployed my hidden, secret powers years ago. Now I’m homeless and sick. WTF?
jk
10. Western heroes NEVER have to reload.
2. In an assault soldiers poke their heads up and fire.
3. Pistols can hit a man 100 yards away and knock him down.... while everybody with a machine gun misses from 5 feet away.
4. Prisoner in prison are just jokers with "hard times" but really deep down just need a second.... third...fourth... fifth...chance.
5. DNA evidence comes back in 3 hours.
6. If you get shot in the shoulder, it's going to take a bandage, sling and week "to be fine".
7. When you get shot in the belly or anywhere in the torso, the bullet knocks you down and you die instantly.... if you're the bad guy.... if you're the good guy, you get to look up and say something profound and then die.
8. All gay guys are nicer than hetero guys and would make great boyfriends..... except for that one little problem. ....oh and AIDS, Chlamydia, Syphilis, anal warts, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C.... narcissistic, sociopathic tendencies,
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.
10. Bears, cougars, mountain lions are afraid of people and if we'd just leave them alone or carry a whistle they will run away.....
11. . guns are also useless and good people don't own them. Only thugs (who are really cool guys that rap and smoke the chronic) or right wing Christians that would hang all your black, gay and Jewish friends and use their bodies for target practice.
12. Girls can get drunk at bars and nice guys will take them home and tuck them in bed..... and if they do have sex.. will actually be the man of her dreams and she will not get Hep C, Hep B, herpes, GC, etc....
Guys that get drunk in college all the time do really well after they graduate......
The best place to hide from a homicidal madman is in a dark cellar. Whatever you do, don’t EVER leave the house.
LOL...
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!"
