Okay, so today I hadn't slept and I started watching the NCIS marathon. For those of you who don't watch NCIS, watch a marathon of it. It's great. Literally one of the best shows ever. Well, one episode a woman stabs a sailor, and the idiot pulls it out and bleeds out right on the sidewalk of a busy street. REALLY?
so, I've devised my top ten pet peeves movies exaggerate on.
10. "Things can't get any worse." - You know that's a telltale sign that something worse is about to happen! Seriously, I know out of 6 billion people, there's got to be a new way to forewarn us shit is about to go down, or even better...just bam! it happens. Has anyone seen Boogeyman where he is driving back to the house and out of nowhere, a ridiculous crow just smashes into his windshield. It gave me a mini-heart attack. That's the stuff we like to see!
9. Stay down. - You know, I can respect someone sticking up for what they believe in, or wanting to keep dignity but if someone beats you to a pummel, seriously don't reach for the chair to pull yourself up and stumble onto the couch making your way for beating number 2. Why? I'd stay down.
8. The trusty kitchen knife. - Really? My first choice would be a gun. With stabbing, you really have to get close to someone, chances are it's very gory and not from experience, but it's very hard to stab someone. Most of the time the little sissy stab is not enough to do anything, it's a surface wound and stabbing someone completely is very strenuous. Ps. My second choice would be a bat.
7. Straight on down the road. - If someone is chasing you in a car, it's probably not the wisest decision to run in a straight line directly in front of the car. Instead find barriers, obstacles, run zigzags at least make it hard to maneuver the car. If a car is dodging obstacles, chances are it can't go near as fast to obliterate you!
6. Is it dead? - Often, too many times, the "bad guy" gets killed....or so we think! Then, "awww, happy moment.." flash to an empty room, a bare floor, or just rubble. Oops, you didn't kill the bad guy, you just pissed them off.
5. Shooting randomly in a car - I thoroughly enjoy action movies but sometimes the pointless shooting in a high speed car chase drives me nuts. I like action, so I want a see a tire blown, a couple of flips and some kick ass times.
4. Hi! Come in - Open windows are also a big exaggeration. Seriously, leave a window open after a long, weird, bizarre day...you know what's gonna happen. Big, scary monster/bad guy is gonna find his way into your home and try to kill you. Why let that happen?
3. Conflicts with guns/knives - When two people are struggling and one of them has a weapon, it always seems one of them gets shot, or stabbed or maimed. I can't stand that!
2. Watch your backside. - In movies, it always seems someone is getting jumped from behind. You know why? They always want to walk into a room without looking first. When you hear a noise, the first thing you do is check your entryways! If there's one thing, civilians always skip that! Be like the repetitive cops, and be too cautious coming in doorways, hallways, opening rooms and etc.
1. Let me just, *chokes, falls, and bleeds* - My ultimate pet peeve in movies is when they pull out whatever impaled them. If it looks like a scary wound, (chest cavity area/face) and you pull the weapon out, you are not going to continue to have an epic battle scene for 5-10 minutes...you're probably dead sucker! Seriously though, if you're ever stabbed, or impaled, that object has now fixed itself into body traffic. You remove it, and chaos ensues. You bleed out, you do damage, it's a lose-lose for you. Knives for example, don't make a clean exit. You got stabbed while it was going in, and you continue to do damage pulling it out. So, leave it, keep it and get your ass in gear for a hospital!
Xoxo,
Sam
