31 Things That Look Awesome In Movies But Are Terrible In Real Life

On one hand, I like who I am, and my autism is part of that, as it's a difference in my brain. On the other hand, if one more person tells me I have a superpower while also liking Autism Speaks (charity that victimizes parents of autistic children, wants to "cure" autism) I'm losing it

Not a maths genius, destined for greatness, or a fan of The Good Doctor, but I do really like being autistic. There are challenging parts but really good parts of my experience too.

😞

How accurate is The Good Doctor in terms of accuracy?

I have autism, and it is not a gift. It is a constant curse of anxiety and loneliness that no pill can cure.

Friends' apt would cost nine figures.

because the ones they show are big. the ones you have are not.

Most of NYC is not what people think. Its the transplants who only want to live in a few high price "in" neighborhoods that pay huge amounts for tiny places. Lifelong New Yorkers live in areas with reasonable rent. My neighborhood a 1 bedroom 1 bath, with a full kitchen, dining room, and living room is between 1500-2000 a month on average (unless in one of the doorman fancy apartment buildings. Price is also more expensive if you are within 2 blocks of a Bus stop, or have parking)) and a 2 bedroom version is between 2000-2600 a month (also depending on closeness to busses, parking, etc), 3 bedroom apartments start at 2700 and split with 2 roommates is very affordable. This is all in NYC, near lots of shopping, safe area, lots of public transit, etc. It is just not an "in" neighborhood with no bars, no clubs, etc. But plenty of clothing, food, grocery stores, bakeries, etc. And a few years ago prices were 30% less, this area recently started getting more expensive.

This lo8ks more like a NY mansion...

At least in prison you get three hots to go along with your cot.

Typically you don't count on that type of stamina. If it were real life and I were a bad guy, I would wait my turn until they tired out.

And they're always nice enough to let you finish talking. On the other hand, you too have to sit through their monologues

Yes one good guy and about 10 baddies all being nice and waiting for their turn to fight you

Ask any professional fight choreographer and they’ll tell you why they do this. The two primary reasons are: one, it’s extremely complicated to choreograph and perform a staged fight with more than two people interacting at once, and the odds of a small mistake causing severe harm increase dramatically with each additional person; and two, it’s extremely complicated to film a fight sequence with more than two people interacting at once—every additional person is an obstacle to the audience actually seeing what’s happening. Then you have to add in the anticlimactic disappointment the audience will get when the entire fight lasts five seconds because four guys simultaneously hit the hero from all sides and drop him like a record needle. It’s more realistic, but it’s not cinematic. Yet another way in which making movies more “real-life” accurate would make them less entertaining.

I'm remembering some of the bar brawls I've seen that spilled out into the street and grew as more joined in. No one hung around waiting for their turn.

And… we’re in

And don't forget where they have the computer looking for a person's face/fingerprint as they flash on the screen!

does this EVER happen?

At first, I was impressed with these computer hacking geniuses that made me look like a Luddite. But then I realized the writers/directors were merely using poetic license to speed through scenes that would otherwise be insanely boring.

Probably depends on the waterfall. Not all of them are as big and powerful as the Niagara Falls.

I LOVE THE FEELING!!!!! Yes, it's intense. No, it doesn't feel like rocks.

Usually they're icy cold, too.

Depends on how high the cliff is. Even better than standing under a waterfall is standing behind one, where the water is falling in front of you. That is intense. Folks, if you and your significant other can go to a waterfall and stand behind it, all isolated from everyone else, there aren't many more romantic places on earth.

You're definitely standing under the wrong waterfall.We had some great ones where I grew up, and it just felt like the best massage ever

I'm so happy about being too old for nightclubs.

That fight is one of my favourite scenes ever!

A former housemate of mine was a bit drunk, and instead of walking away from an aggressive a-hole, decided to fight him. The AA-H hit him once in the jaw, and down he went. He remained there until the ambulance arrived. That's what most fights are like in real life.

No one has ever done that gracefully.

this needs to be higher

... especially when there is no ladder. Faceplant .

I hear it's a lot of hard work, very early mornings and you have to be okay with tossing out tons of unpurchased products.

Working at one..

My cousin by marriage family owned a very successful bakery in a medium size town. She and all her brothers worked for their parents and when the parent's started to consider retirement, all told them they would not take over the bakery. So many in that town still talk about the wonderful baked goods but they had no idea the price the family paid for them to have the wonderful pies, cakes, cookies, and breads for all those holiday gatherings.

I hear the dough is quite good.

Whaaaat? But it always looks so fun...! WHEEEEE!!!

Tuck and roll

Not a good idea, you will always get hurt or die a d. There are things worse than death which is the only reason I would even think of doing it.

Never before in my life had I thought to say this, but: Anakin Skywalker knows best...
