Click here to see the profile of this user 		Movie Cliches - 2008/07/09 01:06 I was at the cinema tonight and caught a trailer for Get Smart. In the trailer there is a scene where a kid is sitting in the back of a car trying to get his mother's attention that Steve Carrell's character is hanging onto the car. His mother doesn't believe him and when she finally turns round Carrell's gone. I then remembered this scene is also in the mock Michael Bay Batman that is doing the rounds.

Anyway it got me thinking if there are any other type of scenes that people are bored of seeing in blockbusters? “Bangkok… Taiwan… Tokyo… Hey, what’s the difference? I’m kicking ass wherever I go!”

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Movie Cliches - 2008/07/10 17:44 Isn't one of the most popular cliches the line "Let's get our of here"? That was pointed out years ago but it still seems to crop up in every movie. In fact, I'm sure it's in one of my own scripts somewhere!

If anyone wants to see a full array of cliches they only need to watch those afternoon American TV movies on Channel 5. They're very funny if you have some chemical assistance to watch them but if you're a straighthead like me whose forced to watch them with the missus (who actually enjoys them!) then it's quite challenging viewing!

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Movie Cliches - 2008/07/11 14:01 I'm pretty much bored of blockbusters myself, Get Smart, Batman, Indiana Jones, any other crud dredged up from the 80s, I just don't bother with. Channel 5 afternoon movies sound funny though, might have to record a few - those kind of 'Baby up a tree' true-life stories.

Movies 24 on Virgin is full of that sort of stuff too, including the late night soft porn films they used to have on Channel 5, usually set in an art gallery, architect's office or wherever, and about as erotic as a packet of crisps. http://beynond.wordpress.com

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Movie Cliches - 2008/07/16 23:11 How about we start on a midshot of a person, they're arguing with someone near a road, the argument peaks, they say something like I hope you just die to the other person as they step backwards onto the road then BANG a large vehicle hits them.

I've saw this first on Final Destination, then on Lost, then on Skins, then on Hollyoaks. Each time with diminishing returns.
