Movie and TV Ridiculousness

There are sometimes scenes or things that take place in a movie or TV show that just seem too damn convenient.  I'm here to point these out because that's just what I do, make fun of stuff I feel like should be made fun of.  Let's take a look at some of these way too convenient things:

• When a character knocks on someone's door, that person always seems to answer immediately no matter how large of home they live in.
• People seem to remember the little details a little too easily no matter how long ago an event happened.
• When a character walks across the street, a car always seems to pass by right after.
• The good guy is always able to follow the bad guy too easily when an elevator is involved and they always seem to figure out instantly which door the bad guy went into no matter how large the floor they followed them to is.
• The same can be said when it comes to tailing someone.  The good guy always seems to notice that they are being tailed too easily and are able to tail the bad guy unnoticed just as easily.
• Characters always seem to forget to use extremely useful technology more than once.
• Security guards always use their flashlights in a dark room and never seem to understand that turning on the lights would probably save their lives (security guards generally die quickly).
• Knocking someone unconscious seems way too easy and usually only takes one well placed hit.

Next time you are watching a movie or TV show, I guarantee one if not all of these things will happen.  It amazes me how lazy writers seem to be these days.  Then again, I write and I am lazy, so I guess that is like calling a prostitute a slut.

"Dude, the lights are already on, why do you even have the flashlight on?  Never mind, your ass is dead soon anyways."
