10 Things I've Learned From the Movies


I guess the title says it all, so here you go:

  • Funerals, more often than not, happen in the rain.
  • If you have an intelligent computer on your spaceship, it will probably try to kill you at some point. The same is also true for most androids.
  • If your vehicle dies or runs out of gas at night, it usually means you're going to die.
  • When running for their lives, women have poor balance.
  • When having a conversation with someone else in the vehicle, it is not required for the driver to keep their eyes on the road all the time. A glace once every five to ten seconds is sufficient.
  • If a group of children goes into the woods, they will usually make a horrific discovery. If a group of teenagers or young adults goes into the woods, they will be attacked by some kind of maniac or monster.
  • It is possible for any man to win the affection of any woman, regardless of how different their backgrounds or social standings, but only after a series of humorous and usually embarrassing events.
  • If you make a startling discovery and you share this discovery with anyone, even a trusted friend or family member, and that person responds by asking, "who else knows about this?" you should run away as fast as you can.
  • If you shoot a car with a gun, the car will explode. However, if you shoot a plane with the same gun, the plane will simply begin leaking fuel.
  • In the future, all spacecraft will come equipped with self-destruct mechanisms.
