Even if you don't have the throat structure for speech, you can still learn to talk if you're smart enough.
Here I thought I was the only one a little bothered by that, since I took a semester of Human Evolution and we spent at least one full class on comparative throat structure. ~kvn8907 / link
The well-spoken, good-looking guy who can read minds and is confident enough to pick up attractive girls at the local pub has no friends whatsoever.
Let me at 'im! ~Movie Genius / link
Even in a modern/futuristic setting people still play Galaga.
Probably should have been Angry Birds or something. ~agentdc7 / link
The worst time to attack is when you're in a tree with a pouch of daggers and all your enemies are asleep below.
Actually, the only dagger in the backpack was the one the girl threw at her that got stuck in it. No weapons were in the backpack initially. ~Grayfire / link
The invention of religion happened around the same time as the invention of lying.
Well, that sound pretty legit to me! ~Wujek Spenser / link

a really, really long time. ~IcyNeko / link
It's a shame when the inventor robot who actually looks like Einstein isn't the one to get that nickname.
Agreed. ~NateSean / link
No matter how many copies of your book has been sold, Bill O'Reilly will still think you're a pinhead.
It's actually a great selling angle. ~NateSean / link
If you can find a big and colorful enough bird to ride, all your past sins will instantly be forgiven.
On a planet that has the ability to rally its animals to save itself? Yes, I think that makes sense. ~Random / link
It's okay to be racist as long as you're racist indiscriminately.
It's not prejudice if you hate on everyone equally. ~SomeGuy / link
Even in Sherlock Holmes' age, people held remote controls in awe.
I'm so glad someone else got that at the end of the movie. I just couldn't stop laughing! Pass the tele remote! ~ronnirawrko / link
If someone who can teleport grabs you and appears in the sky, ALWAYS GRAB THEM BACK!
Haha! Awesome. :D ~Almie / link
Aliens are a lot like Native Americans.
Actually, when the army bombed the big tree and all the natives fled, why didn't they play: Run to the hills. ~Andershp / link
If listening to loud music instantly cures your speech condition, perhaps you should wear headphones during radio broadcasts?
Well I think the tempo of the music would make him read too fast and therefore not make his speeches appeal emotionally to the public. ~Andershp / link
Extremely tight-ass military commanders won't require some of their men to shave their redneck mustaches or groom themselves.
Those were miners, not soldiers. But still necessary to pain the human side as ignorant, gun-totin' goodoleboy trailer trash. ~ZOOTSUTRA / link
If listening to loud music instantly cures your speech condition, perhaps you should wear headphones during radio broadcasts?
Lol that's exactly what I thought, 16 minutes into the movie and BOOM problem solved! ~Kikkomannrice / link
There is no wizard spell in the universe that can levitate a sword out of ice-cold water.
In the book he tries, but the sword and pond are enchanted against it ~ASDFGHJKL / link
Even alcoholic gun slinging wild men can live to be in their late 70's.
And he smoked too! ~Invaderben / link
Indian kids love to torture horses.
I think it was a donkey. ~Invaderben / link
Old white guys are racist enough to stop speaking with their kids because they married outside their race, but still open-minded enough to have close black friends and use phrases like "cramps my style."
Wait, who was that again? ~AKenjiB / link
You always heard it first from Charlie.
Even though he has quotes from people saying exactly what he's saying from well before he was even born... ~JohnE / link
The best defense against someone stealing a kiss from you while you sleep is to be ugly.
Yeah this scene kind of creeped me out a little. I mean Matt Damon is just sitting in that room watching her sleep then says he was thinking of stealing a kiss, all I could think is that I hope Chris Hansen from To Catch A Predator shows up. LOL ~ryan corderman / link
Insanity is contagious, if you marry a crazy person you'll probably end up crazy too.
He went crazy because of the shock of his wife's actions. Which is legit ~kjk / link
Mental patients are brilliant at creating anagrams.
They actually are. Menatlly retarded individuals can create and solve puzzles way better on average. They are smarter than you think, just in different ways... ~kjk / link
A movie titled "Face Punch" will have nothing but gunshot sound effects.
With a tittle like "Face Punch" you would think it wouldn't involve guns. I would think it would be a long the lines of "Fight Club." ~TigerLily / link
It sucks to get captured by a group of evil wizards. It sucks much more when your name is "Charity."
Who's Charity? Did I forget something from the book? ~TigerLily / link
Never invite Death Eaters to a wedding.

Birthday cakes are a very high priority for girls.
Despite most teenagers having weight issues... ~Andershp / link
Hippies don't make good tea.
According to the book, it was a Gurdyroot infusion. Now, I have no clue what a Gurdyroot is supposed to be, but it sounds pretty disgusting to me...XD ~SaxGirl / link
To Harry Potter, even a 10 inch wand is nothing special.
That's what she said? ~Wayward Warrior / link
The more important a wizard you are, the more middle names you'll have.
I have a feeling this is true of anyone anywhere ever. ~Wayward Warrior / link
Always act surprised when the wizard who lost both parents at a young age and grew up among humans isn't familiar with wizard children's stories.
And then there was the one who was born to Muggles in the first place and probably grew up on Mother Goose. ~Ace / link
The hero never dies, but he might end up slightly mutilated.
That actually really surprised me. I didn't expect him to lose a leg. I mean it's a kids movie. I was just thinking "Woah." ~AKenjiB / link
Your much younger sibling is always incredibly precocious about male-female relationships.
In the coming of age rom-com, it's a MUST! ~Khenarthi / link
You're in a foreign country and the three people closest in the world to you don't know you're going to spontaneously try your hand at racecar driving. Your arch-nemesis in Russia, however, knew this weeks in advance, allowing him to plot an elaborate plan of attack.
Agreed. Good catch. ~agentdc7 / link
Italian girlfriends > Swedish girlfriends.
Dude I already posted a list for this movie ~ryan corderman / link

There are two ways to become an expert at counting cards: (1) Join an elite MIT club of math geniuses, like they did in the movie 21, with thousands of hours of practice, or (2) Buy a single book on the subject.
Think I'll buy the book. ~NateSean / link
Never toss and turn while in an alien hammock.
I wonder what happens when a Navi has to pee in the middle of the night. ~NateSean / link
Blue fire can heal all wounds.

PC would never pay a psychic $10,000 to save your soul, so marry a Mac.
Mac is awesome. Justin Long as Mac is awesome-r. ~nikkeho / link
If you see an Asian guy sitting on a plane that's taking off toward Beijing, don't assume he speaks even basic Chinese.
Thing is, he's probably gonna be speaking the wrong Chinese or something. I applaud the young American for not assuming too much, if this was indeed the young American who did this! ~SomeGuy / link
The cemetery is the perfect place to hide a dead body.
Of course it is: watch Dexter ;) ~sebastian / link
Aliens are a lot like Native Americans.

The first girl you connect with will always be the daughter of the leader and the sister (or in other films, the girlfriend) of the local badass.
and you can bang her under the sacred tree! ~thugz4real / link
Mike Tyson really is a sweetheart once you get to know him.
well i think he's mean! ~thugz4real / link
When you have a pack of werewolves and a family of vampires protecting you, the scariest enemy to have is a lone female vampire whose boyfriend and best friend were already dispatched in previous movies.
Well, the female vampire have a huge neophites army. ~mirabella / link
The first girl you connect with will always be the daughter of the leader and the sister (or in other films, the girlfriend) of the local badass.
Incidentally, she's the girlfriend of the local badass in this movie, too. ~Allamorph / link
If you're going to tie up a goat, make sure it can't easily bite through the rope. This goes double if you're going to install a demon within it.
He didn't bite through the rope, the guy cut it on accident, but still valid for other aspects of life i suppose... ~Ally / link
All Russian badasses are named Ivan.
Even the ones not named Ivan are named Ivan.
Yeah, you read that right. ~SomeGuy / link
"Crossing the streams" solves all epic problems.
I was totally thinking of that quote when I saw that part. ~agentdc7 / link
You're in a foreign country and the three people closest in the world to you don't know you're going to spontaneously try your hand at racecar driving. Your arch-nemesis in Russia, however, knew this weeks in advance, allowing him to plot an elaborate plan of attack.
This is the best! Totally didnt realize that! Great one Adam! ~Sassy / link
Vampires, while easily killed by werewolves and other vampires, have not figured out how to kill themselves without traveling to another country and going through an elaborate judicial process.
LMAO you are hilarious ~Shaqbar / link
If you're a wise old man who knows all about mythology and whose son is a werewolf himself, don't seek refuge if you sense a vampire is near; instead, try to hunt her with your big, unwieldy shotgun.
Huh? I'm not following ...... ~Ipreferpuma2cougar / link
If you're surrounded by non-human creatures and routinely chop off their heads, every decapitated head in your moat will be a human's.
And must be bald, manly, and luminecint. ~Feathery / link
The Volturi have nothing better to do than to come all the way from Italy to check up on Edward's girlfriend.
This is my favourite one, this is :) ~YesLiid / link
It takes six hours to fill a cylinder with flies.

Jacob will seize upon every opportunity to take off his shirt.

Jacob will seize upon every opportunity to take off his shirt.

Why carry mace when you have a stapler within close range?
Or a ruler, don't forget that ruler. ~kitsune24 / link
It only takes a few decades for everyone in a teenage girls' life to die (except of course the half dozen immortal vampires she's friends with).
And although they don't mention this in the movie, werewolves can actually stop aging so long as they keep changing shapes every now and again. ~NateSean / link
Edward will fight for you forever. Jacob will fight for you "until your heart stops beating." Werewolves suck at romance.
I'm pretty sure if I were to sneeze, he'd be running out of the door already. ~SolenmSerpent / link
Edward will fight for you forever. Jacob will fight for you "until your heart stops beating." Werewolves suck at romance.
Worst. Guardian. EVER. ~SomeGuy / link
It's okay to have sexual relations with another species so long as your mind is in a creature of that same species.
Only half. ~Rin / link
Slow motion attacks always foreshadow death.
This one's true for all movies with action (and slow motion). ~Rin / link
If you put your entire hospital and reputation on the line to help someone, in the end even if he's better, he'll screw you over by pretending he's still sick.
Yeah I was pretty sure he was only pretending at the end. ~Grayfire / link
Scorsese and Shymalan will be collaborating on their next movie.
Their twist ending: Joe Pesci's ghost gets beaten to death with baseball bats. ~Pleiades Rising / link
It's not suspicious when your highly trained partner doesn't know how to remove his gun from its holster.

Scarlett Johansson would make a great pink-haired anime character.

Military benefits won't even pay for a soldier's legs to get healed.

Yale graduates who studied philosophy find great wisdom in cheesy self-help CDs.
It sure beats sifting through 400+ pages of some French historian-philosopher. ~Pleiades Rising / link
Japanese people don't really know anything about Johnny Carson.
The Great Karnak would be fantastic if rendered in Japan. ~Pleiades Rising / link
Katy Perry can act!
hadn't noticed how Zooey Deschanel does look a bit like Katy Perry. ~Eibhlinn Savage / link
Edward's mind-reading ability would be of great use to the Volturi, even though they have someone with Edward's exact power, only much magnified.
yeah they should probably have explained that in the movie, that Aro may read every thought you've ever had but needs to touch you while that Edward can read your current thoughts from a couple miles away. ~Eibhlinn Savage / link
Having the same last name as a badass gangster is more attractive to women than your real last name.
Especially when its Twisp. ~HermanoBluth / link
If you can find a big and colorful enough bird to ride, all your past sins will instantly be forgiven.
As long as someone preemptively tells you that riding the red bird makes you Navi Jesus, then that's okay. ~onan / link
The first girl you connect with will always be the daughter of the leader and the sister (or in other films, the girlfriend) of the local badass.
Disabled girls tend to not get out to do much hunting in the jungle on account of being disabled. "Why are they never ugly?" though, I'll give you that. ~onan / link
When planning a surprise birthday for your human girlfriend, make sure to invite the recently-turned vampire with self-control issues.
Jasper is a lot more recently turned to the vegetarian diet though. ~Sazinata / link
If the trailer shows Mila Kunis asking Eli to "teach me" and then shows her throwing a grenade a moment later, assume she's asking to learn how to read, not fight.
That disappointed me. I wanted Mila Kunis to kick some butt. ~Grayfire / link
The best disguise always includes an eyepatch.
And fake noses ~wolfgirl92 / link
In a polite vampire society it's easier to kill humans for blood than simply have the humans voluntarily donate blood every so often.
yep the answer is always panic and kill em lol ~Sharkboy / link
A blade can effectively parry a chainsaw.
That was about the most badass fight scene I've seen in awhile. ~Grayfire / link
If a creepy old man is hitting on you and asks if you have a boyfriend, never lie and tell him that you do.

A trail of gas will always form in a neat, straight line leading to the object (or fallen helicopter) you wish to explode.
