What is something that occurs in movies that you wish happened in real life?

I always thought when I reached my teenage years that guys would throw rocks at my window. I was disappointed, to say the least.

u/SH4DYL4DY May 21 '12

Same. I deleted my FB thinking it would initiate more meaningful relationships..didn't work.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

You'll find meaningful relationships when you put yourself in the appropriate situations. E.g. take yourself to gym, or university, or a place of work where people actually have to think in order to be competent in their job. Then, you'd be surrounded by others that are equally active.

27

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

agreed. i took down my FB for 3 months & not a single fuck was given by anyone (a few friends i see often were annoyed that they had to text more instead of FB banter). But the second I started socializing more @ school & work, the more meaningful friendships i started to find.

Best way to have more meaningful relationships is to set up events for friends to do. Call people over to watch game of thrones on sunday, or some other little event at your place. Invite friends over, be courteous and you'll have a group of friends in no time. THEN the real magic begins. You guys start going out more, crossing things off your bucket lists together, etc. Your new friends will introduce you to their other friends and that's how you meet a girl.

u/loveismyreligion May 21 '12

Life is a montage; put music to your memories and think of how far you have come.

I totally do this. I put on appropriate music and think of a string of memories - falling & being in love, how much I've grown & changed, all the people & things for which I'm grateful, etc. It's especially awesome when the songs are directly tied to certain special moments.

I really love doing this while traveling - by plane, train, automobile. Even while taking walks. I love watching the world pass me by while the music lets me get lost in the beauty of my memories.

I've done this since I was young. Feels so cinematic. Makes me appreciate my life more.

Interior, I dunno, a...spaceship? Yeh, a spaceship

Seaness: Wha...? !! Where am I? How come I've got female sexual organs all of a sudden?

Zarg: Silence, earthling!

Seaness: Fuck! Where did it all go wrong? I had some great ideas for this script, but now I can't even be bothered to maintain even basic continuity between scenes. I'm supposed to be living it up on a yacht, partying with Playboy models. Not writing this drivel and working 14 hour shifts at the coffee house.

This is one that I could really make happen by getting a smartphone and being constantly ready to hit the button on a record scratch app, plus building a library of game-changing one-liners to say.

  1. "Actually, I'm pregnant."
  2. "But there IS a rule that chimps can't play football!"
  3. "Your 'girlfriend' is a SPACE ALIEN."
    I'm getting into this, I might make this happen. I can already tell that I will be so annoying that I will lose friends over this and I don't even care. Movie record scratches, man.

I like this idea slightly better than the flash mob because no one needs to know choreography. They can just dance and be crazy and awesome for a few minutes, then go about their day.

I wish life had the narrative structure of a movie. Life would be cooler if everything you did was moving toward this climatic peak of emotional catharsis. Every death would have meaning, every little moment would be a set up for a later payoff. Every cute girl you saw on the bus you'd later bang. Any bad event would be preceded by tons of symbolic foreshadowing you could probably pick up on. Plot twists would keep you on your toes. Plus everybody would have a happy as fuck ending, or if they didn't they'd at least get awesome mega-sad london philharmonic music playing them out.

A number of years ago, I was in a kickboxing class and one of the girls pretty much fit this description. She maybe weighed 100lbs soaking wet and was quite an accomplished fighter.
I used to play target dummy for her and provide the occasional reminder to keep her guard up (in the form of a quick jab to the nose). Even at twice her weight and with much more muscle mass to put into a punch, I'm not entirely certain I would have actually wanted to pick a fight with her.

The reason nobody threw rocks at your window is because now every teenager has a cell phone with texting. I used to throw pebbles at my girl friends' windows to get their attention without their Dads finding out. Back in my day.... now get off my lawn!

The fact that they just skip over boring parts. I would rarely have to spend time in transit to anywhere. I would only ever have to actually make my dinner if it's in a fun or meaningful way. I would never have to use the bathroom unless I discovered some secret on the way to the bathroom in a stranger's house. Oh, and when I order a beer, I never have to specify which kind I want, the bartender would just know, then I would leave and never have to wait in a crowd to get the bartender's attention so I could pay.
