In this thread, we extract horrible lessons from popular media

In this thread, we try to extract horrible lessons from popular media such as movies, TV-series and comics.

Romeo and Juliet: Teen suicide helps promote peaceful relations.
Pretty Woman: Prostitution is safe and glamorous occupation.
Star Wars: A bad breakup is a good reason to die, even with two children on the way.
Old Boy: Incest is ok, as long as you don’t think about it too much.

Yes, this was inspired by RPG.net Tangency thread of same name...

Hypnotically inclined.

    Classical Hollywood Cinema: Don't be female. You're just going to get abused or used as a plot-device. At least that's what my Women's Study professor has been telling me and she's hot, so I think she would know a thing or two about cinema.

    Also Rank we see eye to eye about a great many things. In particular, Flight of the Navigator.

    Even Sarah Jessica Parker couldn't bring that movie down.
