202. Whenever a group of people are threatened by the evil being/bad guy, none of their cellphones will get a signal.

203. The first couple at the lonely cabin by the lake to have sex will be the first to die.

204. Despite having killed several dozen henchmen with apparent ease, the hero will always be temporarily beaten s***less by the head bad guy, until he finds a way to impale him on a handy spike or hook.

205. There will always be an old abandoned warehouse for the final showdown.

206.  The winning run or goal will always be scored by the gopher that has shown the least promise all the way through when finally all seems lost and he's substituted in at the last minute of extra time. 

It's is important that this last ditch shot should not only influence the course of the game and provide the right result and the continued future of the club, but it must always end up hitting the corrupt Mayor who's standing to benefit from the demise of the club by building a supermarket where the club's ground currently stands.

Who has the least important life? The person that posts mega threads, or the person that reads them?

I should think it's the one who takes the time to comment on both?

207. A '67 Mustang will most likely plunge over a cliff at the first opportunity, especially if it's red.

208. There are no relationship problems that can't be cured by an earth threatening cataclysmic upheaval to bring you closer together again.

Hi,

209. The only folks that know all these things, are folks that love to watch, adore, worship, and make their donations to the church of the top ten factory ... to prove that you will always feed the boss and someone richer than you!

Other than the fact I am a child of WW2 (born 1950 and dad was in the Portuguese Navy at the time), too many of the films that came from Hollywood are not that great ... everyone loves "A Star is Born" ... and all I see is a woman singing in front of blue and pink pastel backdrops and a nice lighting effect with a filter to make sure her complexion is nice and clear, not to mention some magnificently staged makeup!

It made sense at the time ... because the war, the pictures and the sadness ... and all of a sudden ... something like this is cool, different, hopeful and ... full of ****! But it is a nice thing for the imagination compared to the no chance, and ugly world that most people live in.

It's hard to tell people that "Guernica" is what some streets in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, England ... had to show you ... it was NOT a movie!

Now you know why so much Fellini, Godard, and other crazies out there are so much fun to watch ... because, they are not trying to convince you that you are just plugging up the coffers of some rich folks that you would NOT even consider inviting to lunch! ... but something else. And of course, asking folks to see how Godard turned all of these ... I mean ALL of THESE listed things inside out and upside down in his films ... is not something that you can consider or understand! ... you do not know of anything different to even consider that possibility.

Godard, for example, in one film, and you already know he loves talking over his films, ... has a scene where the car comes into a stall for gas, and when it arrives, he stops and says ... I don't like how that looked. So you see the car come backwards, in total reverse of previous stuff, and then drive in to a different stall for gas ... so Marina could get out of the car and show off her legs, which she could not do so before!

It's a whole different ball game ... but you can go and pay for Pulp Fiction, and you have no idea where half of that film came from ... and Anna Karina was far sexier and neat than Uma ever was!
