Always, so predictable, run, run, don't forget to fall over 
Why, in Movies, do those being chased on foot, always fall over?

That is so prevalent. In so many movies. Even being on railway tracks with a train coming, they keep running on the track.
Duh, step off the track, idjit.

Well if they kept running and evaded the killer, monster or whatever...there wouldn't be much of a movie would there? Where would they go with the story line?

Why in a few movies do actors eat an apple?

So true, run up the stairs where there is no escapeAnd they always run up stairs! Where ya gonna go now dummy?
Or being chased by a car they run down the road. Run off to the side of the road dummy!

I could never understand how The Mummy always caught who he was chasing.
The Mummy dragged one leg behind him and had one arm still caught up in his bindings, but he always caught up to a perfectly able-bodied person.
Yeah.

Women running in heels annoys me most. Take d*mn things off, but don't discard them-- they can be useful if the chaser catches them. As with keys and other makeshift weapons-- aim for soft tissue; temple.blows can be effective too.
Before sex was invented in the 60's, the maidens being pursued had to wear thin negligees; if the old man has to haul the wife and kids
to the drive in, he has to have a tad of titillation.

In movies, the actors can always outrun a firestorm, a tidal wave, lava, an avalanch, but they can't run faster than The Mummy.
And why, when they hear a strange noise in the backyard, do they go out to see what it is, instead of calling the police?
Also how, in a city of a zillion people, after the comet has hit earth, or the aliens have blown the place up, or the zombies have taken over, do the lovers always find each other, the parents are reunited with their children or the guy meets up with his faithful dog WHEN I CAN'T FIND THE SPOUSAL EQUIVALENT AT WALMART ON A NON-CHRISTMASSY TUESDAY????? Huh? Riddle me that!

When they are sneaking around inside a house why do they leave their shoes on? Why do women running for their lives leave their high heels on? Why does every home in older movies have their booze out on the table in the rooms and all the bottles are store-bought fancy types? Why don't cars have dashboards when the camera is focused on the front seat passengers? Also, when two cops are in the front set of older movies why are they sitting shoulder-to-shoulder?

It drives me insane!! I hate watching films where the women...and it's almost always women who fall over.. as soon as that happens I turn the film or show off...Always, so predictable, run, run, don't forget to fall over
I get fed up watching women being portrayed as the weakest link in the chain

Well, I watch the old 1930's movies and the young, newly married couple who are counting pennies to pay the rent ALWAYS HAVE A HOUSEKEEPER! She is always dressed in a uniform and a white apron. (!!!??????!!????)
And, many of the old western movies , the scenery looks like a Russell painting or a Bonanza set. No dust, and the dirt has been brushed clean with a broom!
They use guns that haven't been invented yet.
They wear bright pink shirts. Cowboys back then wouldn't be caught dead in bright pink shirts!

My hubby watches all those 2 hour movies that are on TV every night. They use the same actors over and over, they all drink gallons of wine throughout the movie and get killed with the same knife in the last 15 minutes of the show.
My hubby sits riveted to the tube and I go into a coma.
