Modern movie cliches (screen, language, Reno, Austin)

No ones kids are ever retarded...

Everyone is in advertising, architecture or law...and they all make serious money.

All gun stores have fully automatic weapons, rocket launchers and grenades.

Glasses can make a superhero unrecognizable to everyone when they are incognito.

Getting shot throws your whole body back 5 feet.

Firing guns doesn't seem to affect anyone's hearing.

Usually the bully is a blond jock with a letter jacket.

Or freelance writers.

Also, the angst ridden young "loser" main character trying to find himself many times has wealthy parents.

Well...that makes sense though...you gotta have rich parents if you have the luxury of trying to find yourself! The rest of us are too busy getting by or ahead to find ourselves.

Oh, you need me to paint the living room or bedroom. OK, I can whip that out in an hour or so. Nothing to it....yeah, right! I just saw that again last night - it's amazing.

There is a certain kind of music that I can't accurately describe, but it is bombastic and filled with wordless chants - that seems to be a cliché in movies.

Yeah of course...he's always the star of the basketball/football/wrestling team. He terrorizes the school yet everyone goes to the games and cheers for him until the one person stands up to him and then no one likes the fact that he's a bully.

100 times, every frinkin movie where a person gets grabbed even the person most expected to look about the car, doesn't.

How about the lady cop who wears tight jeans and low-cut designer boots?
