Lessons you can learn from movies

Post by tiger76 » Thu Mar 23, 2023 7:13 pm

Don't book any hotel rooms numbered 1408.

Don't shout Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

Don't talk about Fight Club.

There must be plenty more obscure ones I can't come up with.

If you wake up with a horses head in your bed, watch out.

Never wear a red top if you're in Star trek and beaming down to a hostile planet

Don't spend a night in the Overlook hotel, don't swim in the sea at Amity Island, and don't nod off on Elm Street.

If your sat on your Harley Davidson and a muscly tall naked bloke appears from nowhere hunched down in a ball of Lightning ... Get the **** out of there when he speaks in a dodgy Austrian accent saying he wants your clothes and nicks your bike 🙄

If you are female and hear a strange noise in the middle of the night you should always go and investigate it wearing your skimpiest underwear.

Don’t play beach volleyball in nothing but your blue skin tight jeans!!!

If you are a cat, avoid Audrey Hepburn if she comes into an animal shelter looking for a pet.

Tiger tanks don't like from behind.

If you are planning a journey, avoid the route that passes through midsomer.

Catrin Stewart is an infinitely better actress than Kristen Stewart. To be fair, Jackie Stewart and Paul Stewart would probably be better actresses too.

If you and your friends know there is a mad axe murderer in the vicinity, don't split up and all look for him alone.

And be careful what day you choose to give up smoking ... drinking ... amphetamines ... sniffing glue ...
