1. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people whether they are employed or not.

2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.

3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut.
You will always choose the right one.

4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override communications system of any invading alien society.

5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

6. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.

7. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.

8. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

9. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their archenemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

10. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

11. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

If there is one thing I learned from Hollywood, it's that they will never make even a decent game based movie. Bunch of greedy jackasses don't even slightly care for the fans of those games.

Theres always a cab when you need one

21. You can be arrested for not talking to the police.
22. Torture works.
23. Defibrillators can restart your heart after it stops.
24. CPR works almost all the time and the person is almost 100% right afterward with no broken ribs or illness or disorientation.
25. Sucking out the poison from a venomous bite is a good idea.
26. A bullet wound to an extremity is nothing serious and can simply be tightly bandaged.
27. Treatment of a gunshot wound should always involve removal of the bullet.
28. Turnecates should be applied to heavy bleeding wounds.
29. All gay people, black people, asian people, jewish people, arabs, and foreigners conform to certain stereotypes.
30. All hot, tomboyish women are completely perfect, mature, self-aware, and never selfish, especially if they have deeper voices.
31. Leading people on in order to have casual sex and conducting yourself with no regards to the feelings of anyone is hip, manly, and an appropriate expression of female empowerment.
32. The human skull is harder than several inches of brick or concrete.

I have my own list but it isn't as good as this one.

A few others...

1. Bad guys can't shoot straight.
2. A woman can knock a man out with a punch, PLUS her hand won't hurt afterwards.
3. The heroine ("shero"?) will always wake up looking pretty and fresh with full make-up.
4. Run from a giant monster by running straight ahead of it, never off to the side.
5. Sound travels through space.
6. Primitive technology will inevitably defeat far more advanced technology (eg, ID4, Avatar), provided the low-tech combatants' cause is just.
7. Being knocked out means waking up later with no chance of concussion.
8. Cars driven by heroes in chase scenes have off-the-charts damage soak.
9. Women can run in heels just as well as a man in flats.
10. The Brother no longer inevitably gets killed.

8. All bad guys are intelligent and ruthless until they get the upper hand on you.

1. Hispanics can play white upper class people, ghetto people and native americans....

2. if you want to make it in hollywood, you must change ur name and change latin names so as not to be typecast.

6. all teenagers are played by 20-30 yr old short actors who look young and attractive

7. no one in the movie can see obvious fore shadowing and obvious hint that the person they are speaking with is the bad guy..... with their double meaning sentences. they only figure it out in the last ten minutes of the movie.

9. police can manhandle and force their way into a suspects home.... black mail them continue to ask questions and forget to read their rights.

10. if the suspect arent home cops possess both chemistry and electronic knowledge to lift finger prints with gum and pocket knife to rewire million dollar security systems.

11. bad cop good cop always works and the criminal will divulge all information. simply by the cop accusing ppl without any evidence and hauling them to jail.

Maybe in the 70s or before but now it's considered an "in" to keep hispanic sounding names.

You mean any main character can run indefinitely and if they are cops, they can beat down ANY drug dealer. Come off the retarded "omb! everyone hates Hispanics!"

The Mexican part is not true at all. In fact, it's "any hispanic looking bad-guy is Puerto Rican or Venazualan."

And, you'll be hard pressed to find any "gangsta" without tattoos.

Incorrect.

I have yet to see someone originally from China play someone with an accent that's supposed to be from Japan. On top of this, you'll never see a Russian play a Chinese person. You'll never see an Indian play a Thai, and so on.

Usually what you see is someone that is from chinese origins in some way (Hong Kong, Taiwan, China), they will play characters from any of those locations.

umm... i grew in East L.A. as a kid and i can tell you we all didnt run around with bar codes on our necks and tear drops on our face.... nor did we all shave our heads... the goal was to not look suspicious and have a small tat maybe on ur hand or somewhere you could cover. we also didnt all speak like with a mexican accent when we were born in US and spoke english.

i meant american asian actors play various asian roles without actually being that race parring the most obvious ones like russians, or hindi.

for example ernie reyes jr played a hispanic columbian or amazonian fighter in the movie with the rock in the rundown.

If you're from China, you will not be cast as a person (in a serious role) that has a japanese accent.

The only time I've ever seen something even remotely like that happen was that one old asian dude (he was Chinese, or something) cast as a Japanese gangsta dice roller (literally) in a skit on Chappelle's show. Dave did that for comedic effect, though. Hearing an old Chinese guy say, "konichiwa, b*tches" is quite hilarious.

All examples from decades ago. Thanks for proving my pointl.

None of that is relevant to what I said.

That's so rediculously non-sequitor that my head almost exploded.


You just tried to prove that asians play asians from countries they are not originally from by saying AMERICAN asian actors play asian roles with an exammple of an ASIAN actor playing a HISPANIC role?

Good job. You're on drugs.


However, Reyes is filipino...so that's like...dividing by zero and ending up with a Hispanic Asian.

ricky ullman was on the disney show and is only in his early 20's. less then a decade maybe 5 yrs...



also you got me i guess Japanese and Chinese actors arent interchangeable in movies like in the movie War and yakuza and triad gangsters

Dirty knees, look at these.

Cause he's obviously Hispanic, right?

You actually have to make sense.

Cause extras are DEFINTELY considered leading actors, take large roles, etc. etc. etc.

Good job.

Nah. It's just that he is always whining about "Hispanic this" and "Hispanic that." It gets old.

He tried to justify his position that Hispanic actors are constantly changing their Hispanic sounding names to something American by providing...get this...an example of Israeli name change. facepalm

I think basically the whole cast of Memoirs of a Geisha was Chinese.

It was a mixture of Japanese, Hong Kong (chinese), and Korean (and probably others.) One of the criticisms of the film was the casting.



Just the same as casting a someone from Ukraine for a Russian or pretty much any eastern European roll: The idiot american audience can't tell the difference in appearance.

I don't think it's a big deal, really.

But it was.

Things went as far as Xhyai (or however the eff you spell her name) getting a verbal lashing from the Chinese. It was serious business.

i was messing with you

i was using ricky ullman to and disney executives decision to support my argument.

stating they had his name change b/c it sounded "to ethnic" it didnt matter that he was jewish. i was the one who pointed it out before i used him as an example.

We were talking about Hispanics getting the Hollywood shaft, not Jews.

i had also pointed out charlie sheen and freddy prince jr..



either way we are done here this is the wrong forum to discuss this and it is pointless you simply started this to try and start something with me by ur own admission.

And I clearly pointed out your decades old fallacy with that, as well. You are supposed to be contradicing my point that, these days, it's become popular or even admirable to be a Hispanic actor with an obviously Hispanic name.

You're running in circles with non sequitor and retarded strawman arguments.

Right, I started "this" to try and "start" something with you. I guess you don't remember the last time you pulled the "oh, poor Hispanic actors" card and we had a simlar discussion?

Reality: You started it and continue it by making the oddest and illogical arguments about Hispanic actors.

Hispanics can act?

Must've been somewhere in between Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez that Latino/Hispanic names were allowed then.

I don't understand why Jewish actors would be asked to change their names though. Aren't nearly all the production studios run by Jews?

Everything is run by the Jews on behalf of the Reptilians, ask Deano.
