Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Cars can drive through a multitude of obstacles while taking little to no damage. Cars can also make jumps that seem impossible.

Brittomart No one has to go to the bathroom.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Saw this line in a book and it reminded me of this topic :

Besides, everyone knows that in the movies, shy girls always become beautiful by letting down their hair and taking off their glasses.

And braces. XD

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Man, I wish I had known there was a trick to removing braces back when I was in middle school.

There's a trick? I thought it was just, "unsnap the buttons at the bottom and take them off."

[image error]


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) That would be one hot love scene in a movie.

"Hold on a second, baby. Just gotta get this brace off.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Of course, I meant the braces you wear on your teeth, but I'm assuming you were just running with the back brace thing...

Braces = suspenders. Ask a Brit.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Fuuuuu....I missed another memo?

Helena | 1056 comments I love braces (I mean suspenders- I think they're very attractive, provided that they don't cause a man's pants to ride up and give him a wedgie).

When a large group of bad guys is fighting one unarmed man, they always take turns. They patiently wait until the good guy has knocked their buddy out before attacking.

janine | 7709 comments bad guys don't get enough credit for being so patient.

That doesn’t work... I try it all the time. People don’t like it.

Yes! And conveniently all such systems are made to fit humans.

You are practically a ninja, working your way silently through those ducts. Until the inevitable moment where you either
a)sneeze or
b)put a foot wrong.

This moment occurs(also ienvitably) when you are just above the bad guy.

He will then shoot the entire ceiling. Don't worry, he'll somehow miss you.


message 120: by janine (new)

janine | 7709 comments they often look very clean and shiny.


message 121: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Ooh. In the future, EVERYTHING will be clean and shiny. The only colors available for decorating will be white, black, and metal.

janine | 7709 comments there are only two possible futures: extremely dirty or extremely shiny.

Sarah | 13814 comments Movie horses under saddle talk a lot more than real horses. In the movies horses under saddle squeal and grunt and whinny and nicker constantly.


message 125: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments They can also run forever, even when carrying two people.

I saw this recently in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Clint "saved" his partner from the gallows, then rode off with him into the desert. In the next scene, he tells the guy, "it's 70 miles back to town."

Seventy miles?? Just how long were they riding?


message 126: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Ha! Yes, and they won't buck even with that second person bouncing along right on their kidneys.

Oh, and movie dogs don't open cupboards and steal food, eat their own poop, barf on the throw rug or get into scary snarling fights when they're sharing a household.

Thissss! ^^

Like in National Treasure 2 when he tells him the first code then the other with out warning I was like 'Crap what was that first number' then they talked some more. I'd have to be like "Shut up..... not listening" as I repeated the numbers over and over in my head. :x

This one bugs me because sure enough, every single time, the cheating couple who are in such a hurry to have sex will be walked in on due to their failure to shut the door.

It takes half a second to shut and lock a door people.

Yep, this happened to me! Crazy about a guy at 14, met on and off throughout 20's but one or other always with someone else, but both single in late 20's, met up again properly at 28, 2 kids and a 7 year relationship later still going strong!
