Tropes You Like

>>85023800

I like when crazy scenes happen and it turns out it didn't really happen, as in Six Feet Under or Happiness. It only happens once in Happiness but it was good enough.

the anti trope

I like when the nerd character ends up having an enormous cock and slays pussy.

I don't even know if this has a name but the "earlier advice repeating in characters head and the person is actually right next to them" thing always makes me laugh

when a character has to throw something and they throw it really badly

Which scene in happiness was like that? Haven't watched it recently

When a guy and a girl start making out and he realizes she's got a penis.

I hope dreams having to be surreal and trippy doesn't become a cliche trope

It always fascinates me

>>85025541

Never saw this before. Not sure that's even a trope, considering.

I'm always a big fan of comedies where someone tries to mimic something from the movies and it fails horribly. It's so accurate to how it would go in real life that I appreciate it every time. Same with sex scenes in comedy movies where it's kind of awkward and doesn't go smoothly. There's always that trial and error trying to position things correctly.

Normally I don't care for the "in english doc!" kind of thing, but it made me laugh in the Mummy when Cruise was trying to explain "the writing on the box" and she kept correcting him on the terminology. His visible annoyance was pretty great.

>>85025119
Lots of great moments in that movie. One thing I thought was weird was when the woman was shot through the window at Crowe's apartment and then never really addressed later.

>>85025119

Looks like a cool flick.

When a non-white historical figure is played by a white actor. Bonus points for if the character speaks English even though the historical figure would not have.

Trope are essentially clichés. Cliché is just the word you use when you don't like tropes and want to feel superior.

You've got that backward.

I like this too. It always makes me smile.

Even though I am the quirky girl and guys like that infuriate me in real life. They are fun and cute at first, but they don't change. They stay weak and it goes from fun, bringing a guy out of his shell, into him pulling hard to keep you with him and eventually holding you back.

That trope when the lonely virgin can't get a date, so he and his friends fly passenger jets into skyscrapers.

Bump.

We need more positive threads like this. Tired of angry virgins whining.

>Trope are essentially clichés
a correction: tropes are ascendend clichés you can't escape of
i don't think there's a single work of popular art that isn't devoid of tropes because they're basic building blocks, no matter how cliché they become. some are archetypes, most are "follow the leader" shit

That's thanks to the /TV/ autists of the Victorian age begging Doyle to bring Sherlock back from the dead.

Name 5 things that aren't tropes.

The crazy artist striving for perfection, like in black swan. There's a trope for it but I can't for the life of me remember the name.

This is a good one.

Sometimes I think tropes are just a way of building or dissolving closeness to the story. When you throw in a cliche you say, "it's ok, things are safe". When you play against type, you encourage the audience to prick their ears up.

>>85034643

I want an inverse of this trope where a character dies first then becomes a nigger upon death.

I don't think it always has to be that way.

Sometimes people balance each other out. Or, more importantly, they grow.

I don't think the perspective of grunts in a world of larger than life characters is given enough time. We so frequently see our heroes rampaging through the enemy with abandon. What would it be like to see the world through their eyes?

The end of Rogue One portrayed this idea perfectly. You're a rebel guard. Trained, certainly, but given a pistol and a uniform and expected to handle human threats. And then a God steps onto your ship, and there can be no training or preparation for this moment. How does a human handle this situation?

idk if it's really a trope but in sitcoms when they go over the same event from two or more characters different perspectives , hilarity ensues

>protag's bro sacrifices himself so that he can tell protag their secrets

>>85040013

Rules of Engagement, I think it's called, based on the Ellis novel, does that, and it's awesome.

The book is great, better than American Psycho, and the film is also better. It's the best adaptation of his work. It features a badass Dawson, and he alone is enough to make it worthwhile.

Watch it. It's fucking brilliant.

My fucking bad, tried to remove trips before posting, ended up pressing wrong button... Fuck it.

>>85043284

While I don't think it's tinnitus exactly, I heard that sound for real, after a Polish hunter shot his rifle one meter away from my left ear. I remember it in slow motion. First I felt some heat wave come over me, then I was pushed to the side, and after the soundwave, I heard that flashbang sound thing, and it gradually went away, and then fucking nothing. I was deaf in on ear.

It took 4 months to grow my hearing back in my left ear.

>>85043458
Not related but I occasionally get ear infections and aside from hurting like a motherfucker, my canal swells up and I hear little to nothing on one side. It hurts so bad I can feel my heartbeat.
