If life was like the movies...

Jackson

... and all cctv images would be zoomable 1000% with no pixelation and just a little blurring.

Jackson

it would rain torrentially every time someone is heartbroken.... but only at night.

You're really getting into this one aren't you Jackson?

Jackson

LOL, it's been a long-time habit of mine: "spot the cinematic cliche". I think I get it from my Dad, he had a knack of spotting anachronisms in films, the best one he pointed out was electric pylons in an old Robin Hood movie.

Satellites in the movies canRead your PIN number at the ATM,Take over the electronics of your car, and count the warts on a toad's butt but for some reason, we can't find Bin Laden.

Also, when the girl gets chased by the baddies, she is always wearing 4" heels. .. and can run in them perfectly, until for some unknown reason. .. as was stated, the sidewalk reaches up and trips her. Also. .. all the alleys in movies end in dead ends, but there is always a manhole to jump into. (side note. . .sewers don't give off poisonous methane gas or even stink in the movies because. .. as was stated. . .no one has to "deploy nuclear weapons" [go no. 2] in the movies. )

Even after shaving the hunk/stud/heroes still have 3 day stubble on their face and look good with it. . .whereas I always look like a diabetic babboon.

English is truly the universal language (and I don't mean just on Earth).

lol. That it is: even amongst eachother, Nazis speak English, albeit with a German accent. (I've always loved this one!)

Alan Fraser

Whenever disaster strikes on a global scale New York gets it first.

This confirms the long (british) held suspicion that you can talk to anyone in english, as long as you talk loudly enough.

if like were like the moviesYou could recognize all bad guys by the ugly scars acroos their faces.
my car would talk to me.

You wouldnt be able to walk to the post office without an asteroid/earthquake/alien invasion happening.

Daniel

...you'd be able to disguise yourself simply by removing your glasses (Superman).

...during shoot-outs while riding, horses are never shot.

...chairs would be made out of blasa wood, since every time someone is hit with one, the chair breaks in pieces.

That means I could go ahead and beat someone with a chair with no adverse effects. Likewise, I could bust a bottle on this person's head.

remus

You could also jump through random windows, as it doesnt hurt at all.

That's correct, Sherman. And if you take those glasses off, Mr. Peabody would never know it was you who did it.

remus

Women would have names like Pussy Galore.

lET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUMMMMMMMBBBBBLLLLLEEEE!!!!

EDIT. . .At first I typed. . .let's get ready to Ruble!

david_h

and I'd have an Aston Martin. . .and it would talk to me!

Jackson

secret undercover MI6 agents would happily introduce themselves to all and sundry using their real names... even repeating their surname just in case the known KGB agent they just met didn't catch it the first time.

Alan Fraser

All male agents/detectives (except for James Bond) would live in run down apartments that looked like they didn't have two pennies to rattle together. They are divorced, unshaven and have a drink problem.

Their female counterparts are always glamorous and live in luxury apartments or lofts.
