    When someone in a movie or television series is conversing with someone while driving, they look at the person in the passenger seat. They can spend several minutes talking without ever once looking at the road. I feel like yelling, "Watch the road, you idiot!"

    Nobody ever wakes up with "bed-head" or slobber dried on their chin or "eye-boogers". Rather, the ladies wake up with makeup still perfect and the guys never need a shave.

    When women cry hysterically one minute, and the next minute they look perfectly normal. If I cried like that I'd have swollen, bloodshot eyes, and a big red nose, for hours.

    I only have antenna tv, and watch westerns on GRIT. For people who ride in the heat and the dust, their clothes sure are fresh & clean...even the blue uniforms of the Army guys.

    To be morbid--and still on the western theme--every shot is an instant kill shot. Very rarely does someone just get wounded unless they have a continuing part to play. Nor do people flop around until they expire...it's immediate death.

    Yup.

    A movie I watched yesterday. Twenty Indians chasing 2 soldiers. The Indians had rifles, the soldiers had pistols. One soldier--at full gallop--turned around and fired...and then there were 19.

    *sigh*

    The old Westerns also had six shooters that fired 50 rounds without reloading.

    I watched part of a wagon train movie last week. In real life, the folks on wagon trains had it rough. They pulled in (IF they made it) looking like extras from a zombie movie.

    These folk in this movie were dressed in crisp blouses and shirts, perfectly ironed skirts and trousers, every hair in place. They looked like they had a nice leisurely shower every morning. And nobody looked like they had missed any meals, either.

    Yeah, we don't have those anymore. I blame the Democrats and gun control.

    "We know a tribe is no more than 20 Indians. No one needs 50 rounds."
