When they make black women snappy necked and ''uhh huh yyou didn't just say that, imma bout to go country on yo' ass'' they even do this in cartoons.

The token black who still tries to act like some fake ghetto wannabe thug even those his best friends are name Sally and Marshall.

When the person about to die mocks the killer (you really want to die painfully don't you?)

When a killers on the loose and the group decide to split up

Sex scenes where you see nothing just them roll off at the end

Really Fake Jamaican/African Accents

Cheesy British accents which make use of the word 'tally ho, riveting, crumpets, tea , the queen'

Slow motion, then at the end there is an anti climax eg: they miss the shot




Life is one those things that most of us have to experience... Love peace \'N\' hair grease.

Just likethe onein Set it off with Jada and Blair underwood. That was the most unnecessary romantic sub plot in movie history.

offtopic.gifno it wasnt unnecessary. it was wonderful. and it added to the film. and the song they had playing in the background for the sex scene was so right - 'don't let go' by en vogue.

what was reallybeautiful was in the end when she got away and she rang him and didnt speak butblair knew it was her. that was one of the best scenes. i could have cried it was so touching. that's a wicked movie and everything about it worked imo. i absolutely love it.

@ Prince

Set it off was a chick flick anyway so you gotta give it a bly... they need that sort of thing in there to amuse em.

I was talking about directors putting that sort of fluff in decent respectable man films about action stuff

When the hero has beaten the villian to a pulp--shot, stabbed and practically drowned the guy--yet as soon ashe turnshis back, the villiansuddenly rises back from the dead and makes a final attempt to kill him. Now wtf is that about? If the man is dead, the man is dead, just roll the credits and stop wasting my damn time.

I feel you on that last one Aryek. That does annoy me. It's so overdone now it's practically expected.

Or when the good guys beats the baddie to a pulp and is gonna kill him but doesn't. He turns his back and the bad guy whips out a gun to shoot and the goodies friend pops up and takes him out. So corny.

Still on the 'pointless sex scenes' line.

Why is it in the midst of impending doom.....for example a scene where the hero and herion are stuck in some pit or cave and water is gradually seeping in, the place is gradually collapsing or air is running out.....they get all romantic, start kissing and even get all the way down to it?

One minute they are scared sh*tless then the next they are randy as hell whilst still faced with the horror of an impending agonising death.

Now in my life I have had times when I was faced with what I thought was a really dangerous situation and I tell you, the most adept temptress or sex goddessin the whole world could not have got my mind round to sex at the time. Damn, she couldn't even raise a laugh out of me far more less anything else. Yet it happens so often in films.............Scared Witless, Horny As Hell...wtf confused3

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

And another thing. You know when the mainfemale character makes out that she hates the main male character who thinks he is God's giftbecause hehas had every woman from North to South? She is like "Don't tryyour sh*t on me because you ain't getting there brother". You just know that they are going to at it like bunny rabbits before the final scene.

It's the same with just about every scenario where the womanstarts outsaying No! No! don't, we shouldn't, I mustn't, I don't want to! She always ends up ripping the guys cloths off. And there are guys whocome away from watching that sh*t believing that in real life when a woman says No, she is really gagging for it.
