lol Just watched Prometheus the other day.
And why do people always try to outrun tall, falling things and killers in cars? 150 KPH is faster than 20 KPH.
Why is there lotsa noise in space?
Why are only humanoid aliens intelligent?
etc. etc. :D

I always wonder why they run in the direction that it's falling! Wouldn't it make much more sense to exit stage left at that point? Lol.

It's along the same line as when they leap towards the camera when something explodes behind them. They like leaping ahead in slow-motion as it makes them look cool.;)

I should add that rather than run in front of the car, they should just leap either to the left or right while it's barrelling towards them. It's not like the car can just turn 90 degrees immediately to hit them.

Another thing, who has the first instinct to run upstairs? That cannot be an instinct, it cannot be a part of the survival gene!8O

Or why they decide to investigate the strange sounds. Ghostly moaning, evil cackling, something creaking, something whispering...yeah, it's real intelligent to check it out. Listen dumbah! This isn't Scooby Doo. It's NOT going to be some doofus in a monster suit! And even if it is, they aren't going to just chase you around the motel, while various doors get opened and closed, and then say "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!". They'll just chop you up, shoot you, or in the case of a REAL monster, they'll eat you.;)

LOL. Yes! And if you're going into that room to investigate what you've heard, why in the hell wouldn't you turn on the light? What kind of an idiot looks for things in the dark? The light switch is right beside the door, 99% of the time.

And have you noticed that the degree of scariness is directly related to the amount of clothing the investigator is wearing? Hear glass breaking? Yep, go check that noise out....barefoot!?! Strange noise outside? Please make sure you follow up on that....in your underwear?!?

Or checking to see if the monster is really dead. You did just hit it over the head with a stick, so it HAS to be dead, right?;)

Yes, so we can then yell at you and tell how stupid you are. It's all a part of the experience.

I hate tap and all the creepy hollywood drunks that used to and may still tap.



I can see how it'll frighten off monsters but there is some sacrifice involved.

Somebody didn't see Zombieland. ;)

Although I'll concede your point that the bling on ole Sammy D might instill a little fear into the fearful. :)
