Kids in movies always have these enormous rooms with all sorts of toys and jungle gyms and rocking horses. I had a 10' by 11' room growing up, and I fucking liked it.

In WWII and Vietnam War movies, there are always a few American soldiers that don't strap their helmets to their heads. They just leave the straps dangling or somehow tie them over the top. I understand that in downtime or something they probably are more comfortable, or it may have just been the style or something, but you'd think that during the middle of a battle they would strap them on. Even in the D-Day part of Saving Private Ryan when bombs and grenades and shit are going off all over the place, they don't think it is important enough to keep their helmet strapped on.

Quote :
"Many soldiers wore the webbing chinstraps unfastened or looped around the back of the helmet and clipped together. This practice arose for two reasons: First, because hand-to-hand combat was anticipated, and an enemy could be expected to attack from behind, reach over the helmet, grab its visor, and pull. If the chinstrap were worn, the head would be snapped back, causing the victim to lose balance, and leave the throat and stomach exposed to a knife thrust. Secondly, many men incorrectly believed that a nearby exploding bomb or artillery shell could cause the chinstrap to snap their neck when the helmet was caught in its concussive force, although a replacement buckle, the T-1 pressure-release buckle, was manufactured that allowed the chinstrap to release automatically should this occur. In place of the chinstrap, the nape strap inside the liner was counted on to provide sufficient contact to keep the helmet from easily falling off the wearer's head."

I am so with you! And I'm not talking about the tilt. I'm talking bout the jerk. Maybe people wouldn't have to take so many pills for their neck pain if they stopped mimicking a car accident every time they take a few Ibuprofen...you know?!?!

And, after a certain age, I really don't think it's advisable to move your neck like that unnecessarily. Lots of old people take a gazillion pills a day, and they aren't going around whipping their hair back and forth. Anyway, I trust that everybody can figure out a no-jerk pill move, but first they will have to overcome the very mild embarrassment of admitting that they don't know how to take pills without needless whiplash. BUT IT'S OKAY, PEOPLE! NOT THAT BIG A DEAL!

Dying character leaves their deathbed and engages in one final fun activity that a person on their deathbed would ordinarily not be able to do, whether it's a rollercoaster, or ice-skating, or riding a horse, or bungee jumping.

Later that day, they die peacefully, having finally done it.

There's a long line to get in some club and the main characters walk up to the bouncer and try to get in without waiting...he gives the whole "we're at capacity, there's no more room. you can go to the back of the line..." thing and inevitably a few pretty girls walk up and get to go straight in without waiting resulting in the main characters getting all fussy.

When someone asks a character about his relationship with another character he'll say "Yeah, we go back a long way" and then they'll show an old picture of the two of them together. That's all fine and dandy, but the picture is always a super obvious fake where they took two old pictures of the actors and then cropped their faces onto two other bodies in the new picture.

Just get a picture of two young people and put it in there instead. The audience will figure out that its the two characters and it won't completely take them out of the movie by forcing them to ask themselves "Hey, why is that picture so fucked up?"

Saw 2 in a row at the end of Deception.

Guy is walking and a hears a phone ring, looks around all confused (since it's not his phone), realizes it's in his pocket and answers it cautiously.

The bad guy has the good guy (or other protagonist) at gun point - All you see are their faces (because he's holding the gun at his waist) - You hear a gun shot - After a slight pause, you see the bad guy's face as he looks down to a growing blood stain on his chest or stomach from being shot by someone else behind him.

The husband walks into the house and hears his wife in the bedroom moaning and making sex sounds. He busts into the room expecting to see her cheating on him, only to find that she is watching Oprah or talking to her Mom on the phone.

Suppporting characters or love interests staring in fascination or horrified shock at a TV screen that cannot possibly show what is going on with the main character. I know the directors want to make the movies more dramatic by capturing the emotions of the supporting cast, but come on. They aren't able to watch every move of the main character on TV or in some fancy control room.

hahaha the mere fact that four different movies were mentioned in reference to this reinforces that it is in fact a cliche.

Whenever people are on a cross country drive they always take scenic two-lane roads instead of the interstate.

Even in movies where they're in a hurry to get there.

Cereal in movies is in the actual box, not in a bag inside of the box. Its like they took the bag of cereal out of the box and emptied all of the contents into the box.

When someone gets in the shower, turns on the water, and stands under it right away without letting it warm up. Seriously, who does that?
