Title: Movie Cliches
Post by: Xuzaf D on March 03, 2006, 12:35:09 AM
What are the most annoying movie cliches to you? Let's start with the horror genre since that seems to be one of the worst offenders of derived crap.

- I'm going to go shower with no lights on in my menacing log cabin miles from civilization.

"This is isn't funny, STOP!" - I geuss her friends commonly play the "hey! I killed your parents and left them on the couch" joke often enough...

There's always one black dude. Always. And he's tough, and uses ghetto slang.

The villain, no matter how intelligent, fast, or strong, will somehow fail to be able to kill the teeneage virgin beauty queen, and will die by the dumbest of methods that anyone with half a brain should have been able to avoid.

The villain/monster wears fetish gear for no reason.

Cops and other enforcement officers can't shoot worth crap, and if they can the monster thing is bulletproof. Even if all the police die a horrible death it won't matter compared to the death of pot smoking Billy. Poor pot smoking Billy...

More important, no one can shoot at the heroes and actually have it hit. If they do hit, it'll just be a graze or something livable. If it's more than a graze, than the hero did something to deserve an actual death, like fucking, smoking, drinkin, etc.

The heroes, on the flip side, could take out an armada with half a clip and one eye open. They are that good at shooting.
