You Know Whats BS Thread

- Shoe Laces. No matter how many times you tie your shoes, it always finds a way to untangle itself. You can double knot it, triple knot it, doesn't matter, it gets undone later on no matter how hard you try. How bout all shoes being velcro? I mean doesn't it seem girly to have a bow on your feet anyways? What we really need are them shoes like off of Back to the Future 2. It automatically laces itself and auto sizes according to the size of your feet.

- Hotel Room TVs. You know why? There's no RCA input. I dunno about you but when I go on vacation, I like to bring entertainment with me. A game console, a DVD player. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hook that up to your hotel room TV? But you can't cause there's no input! Except for that Coaxial thing on the back. So your only chance is to bring that RCA / Coaxial adapter and drag that heavy TV stand over just to get to the back of the TV to hook it up. Actually it would be really nice if that TV had a built in DVD player. No matter what hotel you go to, no matter how fancy or how much you paid for the room, their television sets never seem to have RCA inputs. I mean think about it. Every TV I've ever seen sold in my life has at least one RCA input. Unless it's 20/30 years old. So let me ask. Where do you find a TV that doesn't have RCA? Go to Best Buy, go to Circuit City. go to Walmart, any electronic store. I guarantee you will not find one. So is there some secret factory that makes these specially made hotel room TV's just to inconvenience their guests? There must be. And you know why? They got you. They offer both video games and movies but you gotta pay for em. And most of the channels suck anyways cause they play 24/7 ads on restaurants or their hotel resort.

- Movies. What happened with movies these days? Do you remember back in the 80's and 90's or even earlier when movies were considered classics and Hollywood was taking pride in movies? The target audience to Hollywood now and days seems to be teenagers, giving them that "Newer is better" mentality. I seriously asked a friend of mine who only watches "New" movies if she seen Predator. She never heard of it! And when I told her it was a really good movie made back in the 80's, she said, "Oh that's ancient, noone ever watches that stuff no more unless you're old." So what!!! It beats the crap out of what Hollywood is spitting out. These days, movies have too much CGI, uses CGI in places that aren't needed, too many pop culture references, too many reused cliches, too much hip hop / pop music even in movies that don't need it, horrible actors/actresses, horrible stories, unfunny comedy, too many homosexual references, horrible casting (...speaking of horrible casting who the hell thought it would be an Oscar to have Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and Steve Martin in the mix in The Big Year?...btw it bombed in the box office along with nearly other movie), too many remakes that are not needed because you can't remake whats already a classic. And last but not least almost every movie is in 3D now. Also every movie that seems to hit theaters hits the DVDs/Blueray within a month later. Remember back when it was in theaters for 10 months, then pay per view, then VHS/DVD? Movies are getting worse and worse now and days both financially and quality. Not too many people are going to theaters anymore like they use to. The average age of theater goers are typically now 25-35 yet Hollywood still targets teens. And as for video rentals, the rental stores suck now and are being replaced with better alternatives such as Netflicks and Hulu, and in many cases even bit torrents, file sharing programs, and other forms of piracy. Remember back in video rental stores when every movie on the shelf was different? They now flood the entire shelf with their "New hit movie" even if the movie sucks only cause its "Neeeeew" cause as we all know "Newer is better!" /rollseyes With video rental machines it's the same thing. All they have are "New" movies to choose from. With Hollywood it's all money now and they are cliquey. They reuse only the mainstream actors in their crappy mainstream movies to try and make a buck. Even if they get really good and original scripts from someone not known, they just toss it out cause they reuse the same writers who are part of their cliquey group. And they do this to help push their agenda on us, the consumers. Also noone uses numbers in their sequels no more. Its always Blah blah the revenge, blah blah resurrection, blah blah reloaded, The blah blah, etc. Like Final destination 4 for example is called The Final Destination. How can you distinguish that from the first movie? Cause of the The? Same thing with The Fast and the Furious 4 being called Fast & Furious. Or Rocky 6 being called Rocky Balboa. Or Rambo 4 being called Rambo. Number the stinking sequels Hollywood!

What do you have that you know is BS?
