In movies, people don't act the way they do in real life. If you did some things in real life that are done in movies, you'f find yourself in trouble. Here are a few examples.

In movies, people on the phone never say goodbye, so long, or anything else, they just hang up. Try this with your spouse, or a friend, and see what happens.

In movies, when an unexpected visitor comes to someone's door, they're almost always greeted with, “What are you doing here?” Rude, to say the least.

In movies, people suddenly decide to have sex and begin tearing off their clothes, but they never get them all the way off. They have sex with at least part of their clothes on most of the time.

The main character can get shot, stabbed beaten up, or blown up, and be fine in a few days, or less.

The main character never stays in a hospital long. They sign themselves out AMA.

When eating in a restaurant, something comes up and the actors jump up and leave their food un-eaten.

Nobody ever pays a cabdriver.

One could go on...John Wayne irritates me. People see him as a hero, but in reality he is, by all accounts, a draft-dodging arch-conservative who made a living as an actor without being able to really act. If you doubt the acting part, check out the final shoot-out scene in True Grit. Look at the John Wayne version, then look at the Jeff Bridges version.

I love movies, when they're good. When they're bad, they're irritating.
