Educational Hollywood
jvergho by Julia Vergho December 28th, 2001
Ten things we've learnt from the moviescreens...

1. Medieval peasants come with immaculate teeth

2. A single match is enough to torch a location the size of a football pitch

3. Energetic pulling of the steering wheel from left to right is a necessity, especially when driving along an obviously straight road

4. When answering phonecalls from kidnappers: do not say hello when you pick up the receiver

5. Women rise and shine in perfect makeup every single morning

6. Texan oil barons still walk straight after twenty tumblers of Whisky (Dallas)

7. Slapping a woman in the face gets you snogged every time

8. Horses never run away

9. Everyone can fly an aeroplane when on the run

10. Never trust the butler
