Every summer my family and I look forward to summer movie blockbusters. These expensive well-publicized movies usually mark the beginning of summer, and give us something to look forward too. This year there just did not seem to be any movie that really stood out and got us excited. (It's what we call a "total movie bummer.")
A week ago I published an industry blog about the reality that one views in movies versus the reality in real life. I thought it would be fun to share some of the differences once again here on the Whiner’s Club for you all to ponder. (Naturally on this site I am adding my own humorous touches) however, next time you go to the movies look for more to add to my list below.
· Groceries look great in that perfectly crisp brown grocery bag.
(Look for that perfectly placed French bread, celery or
carrot tops sticking out of the top of a perfect grocery
bag. I don’t know about you but my food doesn’t look
that great, my bags are torn and broken.
Where do these people shop?
· They always find a parking space in front of or across the street of
the building they are going to. Especially in New York. (Go Figure. Who get’s that lucky in a very busy big city? That certainly has never happed to me, but if it ever does I’ll be looking around for the movie crew and cameras!)
· Plain girls become pretty simply by removing their glasses and
rearranging their hair. (I have tried this for many hours in front of
the mirror. I’m still waiting. I don’t think it works.)
· A single bullet can explode a car instantly. (No kidding. I think maybe this is for Mythbusters to try.)
· All bombs have very large numerical displays so you know when they will blow. (This is always good to know should you find such a devise. I personally worry about such things.)
· The ventilation system of any building is a perfect place to hide.
(Not only that, but you can move throughout the system easily finding your way around to where ever you need to go, and never get lost. Imagine that. Simply amazing!)
· A man will show no pain while having a very physical tough fight, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. (What a baby.)
WANT SOME MORE?
· Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds.
(This is a skill I hope one day to achieve.)
· Computer screen instantly “wake up”, instantly find what you are seeking, and download complex/heavy files amazingly fast. (I wish computer manufacturers and web capacity gurus would take notice of the nanosecond speed. They could learn a thing or two about computers and the web.)
· If you start to dance in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.
(This one is true. I have proof. Check this out!)
Well… I think you get the picture. Next time you are watching a movie look for those scenes where the reality is different – it is such a fun game to play. And please feel free to share your observations.
