25 Cinematic Cliches I Never Wanna See Again - Susan - 07-23-2006
Here is my list:
- When people return from the grocery store, they always have one large paper bag with a baguet of french bread. Oh, and there's some green carrot top/lettuce stuff poking out of the bag too.
- Nobody ever finishes their breakfast in movies.
- Women sleep with makeup on and wake up with it on too.
- In teen horror movies, some idiot always decides to split up the group and look for the bad guy. How stupid is that?

Speaking of the writing on the side, what does it really say? How do I know it doesn't say something like "Dog Parts" on the side?

While Chinese take in NY used to have the white boxes with the little metal handles, more often than not nowadays take out comes in rectangle aluminium bottoms with plastic tops.
With the see through tops, you can see the leftovers turning to mush in your fridge.

Along the same line, car chases must involve fruit stands and push carts, flying watermelons and smashing canteloupe.
In an Arabic country, the car chase must run through the open market with live poultry in peril.

How about the endless movies with the prostitute with the heart of gold?

In fact, my husband was exactly 28-1/2 years older than me, but we were perfect together. Better 14 years of happiness than a lifetime in a miserable marriage.
18. Young gorgeous women constantly falling in love with men much, much older than they are. In other words: Fuck you Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood.
