Cars in movies suck
There are two things about cars in movies that annoy the hell outta me, airbags not going off as expected and cars not starting up right away.
Airbags are meant to save lives, right? So why
the fuck do they never work?
They seem to only deploy AFTER an accident, not DURING an accident. Do people
still actually find it funny seeing an airbag deploy well after a car accident
had occurred? I sure don't. Maybe it's because I have no sense of humor or maybe
I'm not so easily amused, so who knows? Anyway, I think they're annoying. I
find it rather stupid how movies seem to take humor in making a device, a device
designed solely to save your life, seem constantly defective and only useful
for comedic effect. Really, what causes it to deploy all of a sudden AFTER an
accident? It's funny how airbags don't deploy after cars sustain damage ramming
into other cars and obstacles and such....but only deploy after the car is totaled
and outta commission, even though airbags are designed to deploy during accidents.
And what's even more annoying is that you can actually see the airbag inflate,
even though an airbag inflates with such speed that not even your eyes can detect
the bag inflating until after it had been fully inflated. I know, it's all for
the sake of the movie, but y'know what, I don't care. I find it stupid..
Also, another thing that annoys me is how cars
don't start on the first try.
Holy shit, how many times have we've seen that happen? Ooh, it's there to create some kinda drama, to give a sense of tension. You know what? I've seen that shit so many times that I've come so accustomed to seeing it that I no longer consider them a sense of tension. I considering more along the lines of 'filler' to help prolong the movie so said movie doesn't seem too short. I swear, there must be some kinda equation out there for determining when a car starts. It's as if the time it takes a car to start is indirectly proportional to how badly someone wants it to start. Whenever I see someone desperately trying to get a car started and it wouldn't start on the first try, I always find myself wanting to stand up and shout "Why the fuck dontcha get/choose a Japanese car instead?! Those things will always start up!"
There are tons of movie clichés that annoy the hell outta me. There are just too many to lists. Y'know, stuff like a woman always tripping whenever she's trying to run away from a potential killer. Or there always being a need to having French bread sticking out of a shopping bag whenever someone goes food shopping. Or how a royal straight flush seems to always pop up whenever poker is involved. Stuff like that. I just find it rather annoying how the two cliché I've pointed out above are always used.
Seeing those two clichés in movies have made me realize one
thing.
