The geeky scientist always wears glasses.

The mad scientist is always a Brit.

The baddy has a moustache and/or wears black.

The hairdresser is always gay.

The cop is always bullet proof!
And, if someone smokes, dead giveaway, that's the bad guy!

But let me guess: You all still watch TV and movies? :p
What fun is it to know it's the second person the detectives interview that is the killer unless there is a famous guest star, if you can't shout out "he did it! He did it?" lol

You forgot one.

Bad guys are terrible shots : p Haha they cant hit anything.

And the black guy in an all white cast will at some point die, it almost always happens in like every movie I watch : p
And the good guys who can nail it on the shooting range or can shoot a kneecap from half a block away (because they're good guys so can't simply kill the bad guy -- just make him limp for the rest of his life), suddenly become bad at shooting if they're in a hallway with doors that aren't flush to the wall (if they can hide from being shot at.)

Rollercoaster romances that always in tragically with one person dying = Every Nicolas Sparks novel made into a movie.
Been like that since Love Story in the 1970s. lol

Also, tech genius who become billionaires are all ultra-conceited, always sure they can fix everything with just the right machine that they can create in one hour or less, and are absolutely idiots when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

Androids are always nicer than real people.

And American children trained in Tibetan monasteries by Kungfu masters will flash back to some fortune-cookie lesson plan their master gave them when they grow up and come back to America.

If it's a secret agent movie, there will always be a 'safehouse' and the safehouse will be compromised shortly after they reach it and everyone who worked at the safehouse will die so the star of the movie can escape... And they will crash at least one really expensive car.... and the star's love interest will die right after they decide that they love each other and want to settle down "as soon as this is all over"... :rolleyes: (unless she is the one he's supposed to be rescuing)

This fits my description.. LOL :eek:


BUT, don't worry. If the woman is weak, (yet hot, of course, at least when she takes off her glasses), somewhere between season two to season four, she'll get a ninja warrior to teach her how to beat up ten guys without breaking a nail or messing up her makeup. lol

Aw, man! I was just watching 24 Legacy last night. New Jack (Eric) is rescuing a little girl from the safe-house, he just got there, (good guy so knocked out the guards, instead of killed them), and Tony Almada is the one taking out the guards as he heads for Eric and the little girl.

A. I didn't see the really expensive car someone has to destroy. (The decked-out-with-bazookas black van doesn't count as really expensive car, does it?)

B. I thought Eric was just going to lose his wife to his brother, (because she doesn't want to stayed married to a counter-terrorist soldier, because it's too dangerous, so she'll pick the kingpin gangsta again. How can that be dangerous?), I didn't think she'd get killed until next season.
:eek:

How about if we come up with a list of annoying Hollywood stereotyping? (And to be clear, I just watched the latest movie from the Magical World of Harry Potter, which is where I came up with this idea, so it's not just Hollywood. It's film studios around the world.)

-- "Religious fanatics" are always the bad guys. And, even if the religion isn't Christianity, (like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), it is Christianity thinly disguised.

-- One exception to the last one -- the Catholic priest, who is always "enlightened" and the prefect counselor in any given situation, particularly if someone is having "a crisis of faith," because they're guaranteed to steer the person any which way but to God.

-- If someone goes on pain meds, it's always oxycodone. And when they do, guaranteed the person will become addicted to it within a matter of weeks. And, if not helped by a friend, guaranteed to go right to shooting up after that.

-- You can tell a couple is madly in love by how hard they slam each other into a wall while kissing and flinging off their clothes. The more they hurt each other, the more in love they are. Added bonus, being able to rip out the other's tonsils with their teeth while kissing.

-- If one of the people in a relationship lies, even once, guaranteed the relationship won't make it. Doesn't matter if they withhold the truth to protect the other person, the relationship will be over the second the other one finds out.

-- In TV shows, if the two main characters are a man and woman, who are obviously attracted to each other, the end of season three will be their first kiss, the beginning of season four, they'll regret that kiss, and they won't date until season seven.

-- In spy shows there is always a mole and headquarters will be blown up.

-- Homosexuals make up 3% of the American population, but 30% of TV characters. Homosexual marriages are always perfect.

-- The intellectuals can never believe in God. They can believe in ghosts, animal spirits, familiar animals, Buddhism, Islam, and voodoo, but never in God.

-- In whodunit's, it is always the second person who knows the victim, unless there is a well-known guest star. The it is the well-known guest star.


Got any more?
I have no idea.. I do not watch hollywood produced movies any more....

The famous kissing in the rain scene. People don't do that in real life for fear of catching cold or getting struck with lightning. Lol!

I just fear the rain will splatter up into my nose and I'd sneeze on him while kissing. :eek:

Doesn't have to be Hollywood or a movie. What is overdone on TV shows Down Under? (Besides using your neck-of-the-woods as a backdrop for 1001 dystopian stories -- Mad Max -- or exotic scenery -- LotRs.)
