Movie Morals that Annoy You

[sleepy]

I don't know if this is morals, exactly, but I am always annoyed when, after a sex scene, the actors cover themselves so they won't see each other naked. It just doesn't make sense. If your morals permit you to have sex with this person, then they should also allow you to be naked around them. For God's sake, you've just been as physically intimate as people can be. What's wrong with you that you can't be naked now?

Actually, that didn't bother me at all. Sofie was Ishii's right-hand woman and lover (?) and in on her act, Elle was blinded in self-defense, and as for the little girl, that was mean, but Vernita was one of the ones who had deprived Beatrix of her own child, and to rub salt in those wounds she went on to have the happy home life Beatrix could have had, and was unapologetic about it. What bothered me, a little, was when Beatrix amputated all the limbs of the poor Crazy 88s, who after all were only doing their jobs!

And the Bride actually killed Vernita in self defense; they'd agreed they were going to have their fight well away from where the kid could see, but Vernita tried to get the drop on her and pulled a gun on the Bride. The Bride didn't even know the kid was there. Her reaction was still pretty cold though.

Raising Helen: Even if you have a great life that you love, you will find out the only way you can truly be fullfilled is by having children.

Ugh. I hate that message. But then again, what other message should I expect from Kate "Hubby can cheat as long as he doesn't get caught" Hudson.

My all time favorite:
If you want to avoid the Wrath of God, close your eyes.

Thank you, Indiana Jones and your finding the Ark of the Covenant. I'll keep that in mind when I meet God.

Actually, that makes sense in a Biblical context. You shouldn't look at God's face, or you'll die (Moses and the flaming bush, and all that story.)

Just thought of a few more.

Gigli: A hot guy can cure lesbianism.

Little Black Book: Acting like a brat and invading your boyfriend's privacy are cute quirks. (At least that is what I gather from the previews.)

The Wizard of Oz: "Only evil witches are ugly" 'Nuff said.

If you wear glasses, no make up, and dowdy clothes, all you need do is fix yourself up, get contacts, get a make over and you will become the hottest, most enviable girl in high school and land the most desirable boy: She's All That.

If you are a dumpy middle aged woman with no love life, you need to lose weight and fix up your hair and LOSE YOUR GLASSES and you will land the hot college professor: The Mirror Has Two Faces.

Lesson learned: Your blah love life has everything to do with how you look and not anything to do with being devoid of personality or self esteem.

HATE!

LittleEadieBeale, if you hated She's All That and haven't seen Not Another Teen Movie you really should, it's one of the funniest movies ever.

That reminds me of another teen movie, The Breakfast Club. I hate the scene where everyone is in a circle crying about their difficult home life, especially AMH crying about it.

It's like your life isn't cool or unique or important unless you've suffered in some dramatic way, which is really the worse thing you can tell a teenager.

Huh, just last night I was telling Mr. Wolf how much I hated TBC. Why? Because that wouldn't have happened in my school. Lesson I got was: put all these different people together in a room and they'll get along. Yeah, right! The mini-lessons are, of course, that nerds do all the work, and everyone else gets by. And that you need to doll yourself up to get the boys interested, because getting a boyfriend is important. Argh!

I saw Down With Love yesterday. Apparently, you can obtain the BEST. LIFE. EVER. through wanting to get revenge on someone.

I wish to thank you, highondegrassi2. You've just summed up everything I loathe about most adolescent and teenage fiction.
