A hispanic friend of mine pointed out that in the movies all Mexicans are Jewish.
Don't know if it qualifies as well-written, but did anybody else notice in Terminator 2 we discover that the thinking computer chip that was used as a model for the supercomputer that was destroying mankind and sending Terminators back came from the first Terminator that got sent back? If the guy who invented it stole the idea from the one in the future, where the H*** did the original chip design come from?
Oh man, seriously showing my age here. Back in the way olden days, when telephone numbers had a word prefix, all the phone numbers were KLondike5-????, which, of course, is 555-????. The reason for this is because the 555 exchange is reserved for non-residential customers. Seems people actually call phone numbers given out on movies and TV shows, so film-makers use the 555 exchange to keep residential customers from getting crank phone calls, or calls from fourteen year old boys who think they REALLY gave out Kirsten Dunst's phone number in the movie.
That was a good post explaining about the phone number. Thanks again that was great. I bet you are right too, about people and kids trying to call the numbers. LOL Soooo funny.
Could that be because the majority of the audiences don't want something new, they want something they have seen before (and therefore can understand because someone has explained the plot to 'em!)
But I personally like the gun toting kind of character that brings an arsenol...makes a lot more sense rather than trying to reload with presumably sweaty fingers and typically in scenes with bullets zinging past the ear, in the grey-dark lighting... and is more likely to convince me. I find myself counting shots just because I know Hollywood thinks no one knows how much bullets a clip can hold.

The thing I always found funny was the black Vulcan on Voyager(?). PC at it's finest.
I bet he is now thinking of getting back into films! LOL
We now need a photo of you holding that Teddy Bear in one hand and the gun in the other. Where's Billie, now that we need her?
Right before someone gets eaten by a monster in a dark house, they get scared by a cat.
Mr.Snow Bunny was working on location downtown Los Angeles and they were shooting from 11 pm till 7 in the morning for a night shot and less traffic.
I was upstairs in our home and heard a noise, it was about 1;30 in the morning. I grabbed my teddybear, got one of the guns and headed down the staircase.
Heart beating so fast I was sure it could be heard at the front door. Then when I got downstairs, it was our dog and cat playing under the piano and they had knocked off a lamp on a nearby table.
I gave them a hug and sat there on the floor laughing and so relieved. LOL
Also, before it was fashionable for men to wear their hair long, all the cowboys had short "white sidewalls" haircuts. Then, all of a sudden, somewhere in the mid-60s, cowboys all wore their hair long.
