You know a movie where you didn't see that cliche? "Hoosiers". They were all white kids from a white town. Didn't even see black kids until they got to the state championships in Indianapolis. Then the black kids were trotted out to show them that, "Oh, shit, we're in the big leagues now." Then the white kids…

The only good thing about Not Another Teen Movie— the guy who wanted to start a solitary clap that slowly rolled into everyone clapping, but his timing was always off, and then at the end someone stole his thunder. Sorry, spoiler. But not as sorry as that I actually watched that movie.

Also, to me, most of the trash-talking in war movies seems contrived and cliched. You know, when the squad is prepping for mission, cleaning rifles, sitting around the hooch. It's basically a bunch of "your mama" jokes. Even in movies that are critically acclaimed, like Generation:Kill that shit seems fake.

Military Cliches
How about military movie cliches? In any movie where an Army post is shown, immediately after you enter the front gate, no matter what time of day it it, there will be a) a group of soldiers marching, b) a group of soldiers running and calling cadence, and c) a tank or humvee or jeep driving around. …

Mythbusters tried shooting a lock off with a gun. It really doesn't work. You can blow the lock to shit but it will still hold in place.

Agent Dale Cooper looked at a photo of Laura Palmer and saw James' motorcycle reflected in her eye.

Apocalypse Now: Good use of narraration by Captain Willard.

How about the clock ticking the final seconds of the game away on the scoreboard that goes on for like 3 minutes. (Also works for bomb defusers or anything with a countdown.)

Jim West used to just "knock people out" a lot on Wild Wild West, and it seems like every TV show/action movie since then does it. No talk of concussions, skull fractures, blood loss….

Or how the opening riff from "Bad to the Bone" is played every time someone has had enough of getting kicked around, and is now going to do something about it.

Every time I pass a microphone I reenact that cliche. "Is this thing on?" [Blows into mic; gets feedback noise]. Even got other people doing it now.

Don't make me go all Sarah Palin vs. David Letterman on your ass….

"Katyn" is already out. It's #5 on my Netflix queue.

Just last night I had KFC for the first time in a while. We were last minute shopping for school supplies, out on a school night with the kids, so my wife wanted something "fast" and "cheap". KFC was close by, so we went there. First of all, it set me back $33 to feed 2 adults and 3 kids. $33!!! Then, everything…

"Crouching Hulk, Hidden Brokeback"

TDTESS
Anyone think to ask him why he was in that noxious piece of shit "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? Hmm?

Viva Knievel
This movie seems like it could have been the template for "Walker, Texas Ranger", with cops substituted for motorcycles.

If Viggo Mortenson and Lauren Hutton had a child, how wide would the gap in its teeth be?

If the Picture at the Top…
…was in "The Shining", it would have been the creepiest thing ever put on film.

I heard the San Antonio show will be performed in the basement of the Alamo.
