Friday LOL. 35 things we have learned from Hollywood movies

[airiefairie.livejournal.com]

1. All phone numbers in the US start with 555.
2. No matter how damaged the spaceship, its internal navigation system always remains intact.
3. Everyone speaks English, no matter where they're from. Even E.T.s.
4. Even after we've switched all lights off at home, everything remains well visible in the bedroom, bathing in nice blueish tones.
5. All CDs are compatible with every computer, regardless of its operation system.
6. The TV news channels always broadcast exactly the news that concerns you at the moment, as soon as you turn on the TV.
7. Close relatives never look similar to each other.
8. Any photo could be zoomed in and viewed to the tiniest detail.
9. All writers are rich, all book houses are luxurious and wealthy, all painters have huge chic studios in spacious chic attics.
10. Most laptops are powerful enough to intercept the communication systems of any enemy extraterrestrial civilisation. They can also decode the extraterrestrial language within minutes.
11. The air conditioning system of every building is perfect for a hideout. No one would ever think of looking there for you.
12. There are big electronic digital screens with big red digital numbers attached to every bomb, so the doomed victims could clearly see in how much time they are going to blow up.
13. All bed blankets have a special "L" shape, so they could cover the woman up to the shoulders, and the man next to her, below the crotch.
14. All movie characters are champs at fast typing, and they never use spaces between words.
15. Lipstick doesn't wash away even underwater.
16. If you are a hot blonde, you are probably a world-famous nuclear expert.
17. If something emits radiation, it definitely must glow in green.
18. Coughing is usually a symptom of an incurable disease.
19. When you are paying a cab driver, you should never look at the taxi meter. You just reach into your pocket, and you hand them the first dollar bill you come across. No doubt it will be the right amount.
20. Every castle, every fortress could be accessed within seconds by using a credit card or a paperclip - unless we are talking of a burning house with a child inside. Then of course you have to knock the door down. A simple kick would suffice.
21. Every computer is charged within 2 seconds at most.
22. Everyone who is just waking up from a nightmare, abruptly sits up in bed and starts breathing heavily.
23. If she finds herself inside a haunted house, the woman should explore every source of strange noises, and walk around scantily clad.
24. It doesn't matter how many enemies you are facing, as long as you know a martial art or two. They will patiently wait in line, tiptoeing around you while you are knocking them down, one by one.
25. Newborn babies can actually coo, turn around sideways at will, and hold their head upright without an effort.
26. Do not fear facing a gun pointed at you! Before the bad guy fires the fatal bullet, they will inevitably start a long rant - long enough to allow you to come up with a way to avert imminent death.
27. Any random Internet search always gives exactly the needed results, no matter which keywords you have put into the search engine.
28. Even after 15 years of happy life together, married couples keep kissing each other passionately once in every 5 minutes.
29. For the purposes of any police investigation, a strip club should be visited at least once.
30. Dogs can always detect the bad guy, and they start barking at him so you could recognise him too.
31. Medieval peasants had remarkably healthy, shiny teeth.
32. The more the man and woman hate each other, the bigger the possibility that they'd fall in love with each other towards the end of the movie.
33. The person you trust the most in the world, is most definitely a spy for the enemy.
34. Guns with 6 bullets can fire between 30 and 40 times in a row without reloading.
35. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from every single window around Paris.

Do share your own observations! =)

I love Hollywood movies. They're so predictable, I'm always sure there'll be a happy end. Oh, and there are chicks and cars, too!
