movie annoyances
John February 26th, 2010
Ladies, if you’re ever being strangled, don’t act like a doomed heroine in a movie and attempt to push the person off you. Instead, just poke him in the eye, especially if you have long fingernails. On the verge of being killed is no time to be polite or squeamish.
Other movie annoyances:
Person A is being chased by Person B, passing a number of things which could easily be knocked over into the path of the pursuer, but not knocking them over. (Absurd–I figured this one out on the fly, while actually running from someone, in middle school. It works beautifully.)
Person A is being chased by Person B, both of them carrying weapons. Person A runs around a corner and keeps running, rather than running around a corner, crouching low, and preparing to shoot/stab/grandslam the pursuer.
