Have unprotected sex regularly. Turn on the TV to the exact moment a newscast talks about a story that is important to the plot. Use guns and other weapons with ease without any or with few lessons. Fall through windows without getting cut up. Yes, and from the other end of the spectrum, a couple, or just friends, go to a way above restaurant, order a fine meal, talk about whatever business is at hand in their lives, never comment on the food, whether soup, salad or bread; are seldom seen actually eating the food as people do in real life (I think there was a thread on this topic a while back); with the alcohol having little or no effect on the conversation; no one eats desserts; and aside from watching two well dressed people in a restaurant talking, the viewer is aware mostly of what is happening on screen as it pertains to the story the movie is telling, not keenly aware of people eating and enjoying a good meal. In other words, the "eating scene" is usually exposition and something to further the plot. Unlike, say, the (usually overdone) sex scenes, the food scenes are not by themselves ends in themselves. To me this always feels like a waste of good food. I mean, why not let the characters enjoy themselves? |
