Leaving an untied bowtie hanging around your neck, demonstrates that you actually know how to tie one. Few do, and there nothin' wrong with showin' off a little.
Yes, we always had teacher "monitors" hanging around keeping an eye on things. All under the thread of "the paddle."
Also, no matter how large a high school might be, ALL the students eat at the same time in a room that looks like it could hold about 150 tops, and all the main characters either sit together at a table or else at adjacent tables (see also: movies set in prison).
This is hilarious. “Her designers should have thought this through,” another agreed. Of course they thought it through! That was the point! The show needed another Will Smith moment to give it relevance because nobody cares about the Oscars otherwise, and this is apparently the best they could come up with this year.
Digging graves with tiny shovels. Also when disposing of a body in a heavily wooded area, how they can dig the grave without encountering any tree roots. I've always marveled at how one guy can dig a beautiful deep squared off hole in heavily wooded terrain in a short period of time.
Not just the silents! It really was SOP until Sidney Poitier's first film role in No Way Out (1950) that blacks were portrayed as Untermenschen in the movies; the same was sadly true for Latinos.
More of a question, but do stadium lights really make a loud noise when turned on? It seems to occur in movies pretty often.
Medieval peasants having perfect teeth: One Korean drama my wife watched had a well-known actor who had some of his teeth removed for the role. Implants are such a thing now, especially here in Korea, that he just had them replaced when the shooting was over. Still reasonably white as I recall.
To be fair, most medieval peasants didn't live long enough to get tooth decay. Many movies of the period cast actors in their 50s and older when the average life expectancy at the time was about 30.
That doesn’t mean they all died in their mid-thirties. It was the high infant mortality rate that skewed this statistic.
I think there might be some truth to #17 though. I had a lab that only barked at a few people and they all seemed to be ***holes.
Holding that rediculous and cringeworthy annual award ceremony . Get over yourselves . Really , who gives a sh*%.
