What the movies have taught me

[Quokka]

One thing I have noticed from growing up watching old black and white war films (Mum used to watch lots of them) is that if you're a fresh-faced young pilot/soldier, talking about how you're going to marry your sweetheart and live in a beautiful house, in a beautiful part of the country and grow old together, then you probably won't come back from the war at all. I've seen that one quite a few times.

I like this one and never, ever, under any circumstances write a letter home to a loved one 'just in case'. In real life this would be prudent in the movies you appear to be outright daring god to wipe you out!

If possible dont even have a family going to war, go out commit a few crimes, nothing that actually hurts other people but in the movies being an orphan with a 'checkered history' is better than wearing a flak jacket.

Thats true Quokka.

Never go into a forest at midnight. You will effectively die.

 

[Majimaune]

Yep.

You should never get lost.

you can drink all the alcohol you like, all night long and just hop into your car to drive home.

be nice if Hollywoodland took a lead and for once a charcter said " no i've drunk too much and i'll get a Taxi"

Yeah, it would help drink driving deaths go down a bit.
