Things That Happen In Movies… But Never In Real Life
#1.) Someone Mysteriously Disappears from a Street Corner When a Big Bus Drives By. Obviously that never happens in real life . . . unless the bus stopped, sat there for 30 seconds, and picked them up.
#2.) Hearing a Dial Tone When Someone Hangs Up on You. In real life, the line just goes silent. But in the movies, they always add a dial tone so the audience knows what's happening.
#3.) Hackers Only Need a Few Seconds to Hack Into a Computer System. In reality, it's not a one-step process at all. And even the best hackers might need hours or even MONTHS to hack into a heavily encrypted system.
#4.) Instant DNA Results. When police order DNA tests in the movies, they usually get the results a few days later, or even sooner. But in reality, most police departments have a backlog, and it takes months.
#5.) Making a Mad Dash to the Airport to Stop Someone You Love From Leaving. Maybe it actually DID happen . . . 20 years ago. But in 2011 it makes no sense, because everyone has a cell phone.
