ME: "Well, we are still working on it but one thing we are certain of is the killer must have liked Cheetos due to the presence of orange Cheetos dust on all the wounds......."
Detective: "It was Chester!"

Watching David Caruso act makes me want to staple my eyes shut and fill my ears with molten steel.

Peter Wrote:My favourite. We know it is a spooky old castle. We know bad things have happened here. We know the last group of explorers were never heard from again. There are six of us. I know, lets split up! Good move.
Or the person in the back of the group hears a noise and decides to investigate without telling the others, knowing damn well there is a killer roaming around.
My favorite: A person is being chased by a vehicle and runs down the middle of a road instead of somewhere the vehicle can't follow.

D'oh!! Sorry about that Alan!! Should've given all the guys a warning on that one.

That's acting? I thought acting took emotion.

The Mad American Wrote:One of the cliches that has always kind of stuck in my craw is the Coroner/Medical examiner eating thing. In a ton of movies and TV shows if there is a scene were someone needs to visit the Coroner/ME to get information about a particularly gruesome death, the Coroner/ME munching on some food as he/she deals with this nasty corpse is really over done. Not only is this stupid but if they are doing an examination for legal or medical purposes the presence of food in the area has the potential to contaminate the evidence/corpse.
I remember one time when Scully was doing a post mortem on X-Files she was examining the stomach contents and describing what the pizza consumed by the deceased as his last meal contained, then professed to being hungry. Classic! I must say though that dead bodies and autopsy photos have never dampened my appetite. I remember reviewing photos of charred bodies while eating charbroiled steak (the resemblance was remarkable).

How did the "General Lee" always look perfect in every show and why didn't they actually kill off J.R.? Why does the bad guy always have to explain his plan before he tries to kill the good guy? And going back to the old westerns, why did they throw the bullets out of their guns and they never had to reload plus their horses never became tired? Was "Flipper" just an aquatic form of "Lassie" or was "Lassie" a land based "Flipper"? Why do women always scream and jump upon a chair when they see a mouse and why is it always the man who sets the mouse traps? And the biggest question of all, How did Indiana Jones keep his hat through all three movies? :confused:

And why did Superman stand there grinning when the villain shot him six times, and then duck when the gun was thrown at him?
