It is considered normal, after a sexual encounter, to wrap oneself with a sheet when visiting the bathroom. AND they can acquire said sheet without displaying any 'bits' Beth :)

In American films most men when they reach the 50+ stage don't have grey hair...... its blue. Or maybe they have changed their hairdressers since then!

The film was It's a Wondeful Life The Wild West had a shortage of skilled joiners - whenever somebody was shot and fell against a railing it invariably gave way and if you strike somebody with a chair it will disentegrate Beth :)

That the Mini is not a recent invention. If you look closely you can see it during the chariot race in Ben Hur. Or that a Roman soldier is wearing a watch!

the reason that the phone numbers ALWAYS(in movies) begin with 555 is that, that particular code does not exist... prevents psyco's ringing up the numbers....... Have you also noticed that guy usually 'does it' with his shorts on, you also rarely see any one close a door behind them, And in a disaster movie someone always seems to come up with a countdown before the blast..........

When somebody is trying to defuse a bomb, time is altered. There are 19 seconds on the clock. Five minutes of watching somebody wipe the sweat out of their eyes, drop the wire cutters, go to cut the blue wire, change mind, hover over white, fumble the cutters again, retrieve them, wipe sweat again, then cut the black wire - and there are still two seconds on the timer device. Pheww!! Beth :)

It also appears that ALL cars manage to screech the tires(american spelling) when driving away, or arriving at a destination,...........even on gravel.......
