Yes, haha. It's like, you can see even with her dowdy clothes and glasses she's still innately attraction. It's as if dressing like you're hot makes you hot.
When the good guy(s) is/are getting chased, getting shot and in dire need of help, not a single cop around like they are all in a meeting at Dunkin' Donuts!
But once everything is over and the bad guys are dead, thousands of cops suddenly come rushing in!
There is always one guy and girl from a minority group for political correctness purposes but they act very different from most people from their own kind. Back in the old movies there was one African American guy in the movies and they usually got killed first
You’re very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home,
A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. That will finish in a sex scene.
Cats always make a noise. If someone is creeping into a house and is momentarily scared by a cat, it always has to meow before running off.
Any time you see an intelligent or noble pet (dog, fox, whatever), he will give end up getting killed - giving his life saying someone or being deliberately shot.
If a man and a woman vow to spend the rest of their lives making each other happy, you just know one of them is going to die.
In Steven Seagal movies - even if his wrists and legs are bound, chained, whatever, they never do it tight enough, because he will magic snap free and rise up and kick your ass.
In scary movies, the heroine is always clumsy and falls giving the killer time to catch up with her and stab her. Of course, he has to rip her blouse off first and expose her giant ta-tas before he kills her.
If you hide at a friend's or relative's house when the bad guys are looking for you, that friend or relative will be the one who gets killed.

Oh yes, and phones always ring 1,000 times louder than normal when the person on screen is already on edge, making them scream.

Back in the really old movies the one African American actor was always a bottom-of-the-barrel servant. But occasionally they'd make that servant extremely intelligent and sort of noble and dignified, like in Christmas In Connecticut.

That always annoys me. Most cats are usually very quiet, but in movies they screech at the slightest provocation!

And, like 90% of his movie titles are designed so that they can be read, "Steven Seagal IS.........
1. Under Siege
2. Above the Law
3. Driven To Kill
4. Urban Justice
5. Mercenary For Justice
6. Out of Reach
7. Out For a Kill
8. Half Past Dead
9. The Patriot
10. The Glimmer Man
11. On Deadly Ground
12. Out For Justice
13. Marked For Death
14. Hard To Kill"
1) Never buy one of those butcher blocksful of knives! If you do, do NOT leave them on the kitchen cabinet! Killers always arm themselves that way.
2) If the lightbulb is out in the basement, don't go down there!
3) There's nearly always someone in the middle of the road! (This goes many decades back, at least to "The Haunting" (1963). It could be there are even older MOTR events.)
4) The boogeyman/bad guy is never completely dead when the protagonist tries to get around the body or looks away for a moment.
5) Creepy toys that are thrown away always return.
6) If you have a pet, it's going to die! (Rarely do animals survive in horror films, unlike in other genres.)
7) Porcelain attracts ghosts and monsters! Bathrooms and public restrooms figure in dozens of films. Do you think this started with "Psycho"? "The Tingler" predates that film with bathroom horror by a year.
8) Laundry rooms can be as creepy as bathrooms. Watch out for those washing machines!
9) Many houses are built on cemeteries. AND, THEY HAVEN'T MOVED THE BODIES!
10) Crows/ravens are almost never a good sign (almost~as in "The Messengers"). Watch out for moths, too!
Have you noticed how many relatively recent horror films have people gacking up foreign objects, spewing forth pieces of jewelry, human bones, and even medical equipment(!), as in "The Ring"?
