Needed: Death Cliches
I'm looking for some good old cliched signs from movies and TV shows that tell you that a character is marked for death. Currently I'm stuck on:
- The character shows you a picture of his sweetheart back home.
- The character is a cop who is just days from retirement.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate any I can get.
In other news, I drank three cups of coffee tonight because the girl who was pouring it was absolutely gorgeous. My horniness says "good idea", but my insides (quite loudly) tell a different story.
Also, the Minds website got defaced last night. The moral of the story? Don't diss the PHP fan-boys or they'll come get you.
Oh dave you are speaking my language...
In situations like the Vietnem war, and violent inner city neighborhoods, the person with the most plans, prospects, and hopes will die.
A dying person's last words will always be coherent and significant.
A good person will always die in the presence of friends.
If a person good person dies with his eyes open, a friend will close them, and they will remain closed. If a villain dies with his eyes open, no one will close them, and the camera will linger on his face.
When your sidekick, lover, or similar acquaintance is on the verge of dying, don't call an ambulance; instead hold her warmly and whisper words of comfort, or kiss her passionately. Theoretically she may not be much into it under the circumstances, but hey, it may be your last chance! Then, when she relaxes or slumps over visibly, you can say your tearful good-bye to her, because this means she is dead. Alternately, if she is already slumped over when you get to her, check her pulse, but if the resulting music is soft and slow, don't bother trying CPR. If she doesn't like this treatment better than a chance to save her life, don't worry; it's not like she will be able to do anything about it!
In an alien invasion movie, the person who refuses to believe the fact that aliens are invading will die last (it takes the deaths of friends and family to come to grips with it then he/she most likely he dies)
In a movie based around supernatural beings (werewolves, vampires, zombies etc) if one person says they dont believe in them they are destined to die, and the person who tried to convinced them throughout the movie is always there to see them being killed
In a vampire movie, one vampire will always turn on the rest, but when he gets to the last one he hesitates, useless verbal threats are shared then the vampire will kill the last vampire which coincidentally is the head vampire
An Ambulance will always arrive AFTER the main character has died
The fat security guard who is eating a muffin and goes to inspect something.
If he's eating a jam doughnut, and it oozes, then he's a goner for sure.
when ever there is a fight in a train station there is always a train coming just as they are thrown onto the tracks (see warriors) and the train never stops
Looking for a g-mail address,any chance.
Cheers
