91. Model for Hostage.
A man decides to take a hostage, and she happens to be among the most beautiful women in the world. At first, she'll resist him and complain about not going to the bathroom or getting anything to drink or eat. After a while, she'll fall asleep and wake up a bit changed. A few days of this pass, and the kidnapper decides to relate his sad tale. She believes it and falls in love with him.

92. Slow-Moving Background.
Two characters are sitting in the front of the car. They chat a great deal. Sometimes, the driver is looking at his passenger more than the road in front of him. It's either 40, 50, 60, or 70 MPH, yet the background looks like it's moving at 15 MPH. Everything is so slow that the vehicles behind him are at the same speed or less.

93. Got to Wear Makeup Everywhere.
A woman wakes up in the morning on Sunday, and she has her makeup on. She cooks breakfast for her family of ten, and her makeup is perfect. She goes for a run afterwards and is sweating heavily, but her makeup remains intact. She decides to hoe the field for three hours and still looks great. After going home to take a shower and cook dinner for her family, there's no change in her makeup. Finally, it's bedtime, and she goes to sleep with her makeup on.

94. Fantastic Lighting.
A couple are making love, and there are thousands of white candles everywhere in the room to create a romantic mood. Yet have you considered how much they cost and the time it took to set them up and to light them? Not only that, they have to buy candle holders or there will be a massive fire. Perhaps it's easier and cheaper to use a $10 lamp instead?

95. Plans Revealed Within Earshot of Everybody.
Between two and five people get together at a public place such as a restaurant or an outdoor café. They talk about something illegal like staging a heist, robbing a store, ripping off a cart stand, or breaking out of a prison. Or they might be spies in the middle of WWII or working for the CIA. Pretty heavy stuff, yet nobody is concerned about being overheard by others.

96. She's Available.
A hot-looking woman is either sitting on a stool at the bar or is walking on the sidewalk, and she's noticed by a man. He comes to her and says something simple or lame. She shows interest in him, and what do you know? She's totally available and free anytime for a date. That means nobody asked her out or had married her up to this point.

97. Tough Female Boxer.
A female is punching the bag...the harder, the better. Sweat is dripping down her face, and she's serious-looking. Got...got...got to hit the bag hard. Yet the scene is so painfully cheesy to watch. Some of the worst offenders are Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Judd, and Michelle Rodriguez.

98. Living in a Vacuum.
A well-do character with a great job is obviously raking in the money. He has a decent-looking house, and everything is going well for him with wife and kids. Yet where are his friends? Does the wife have them, too? Or are they totally bereft of social connections after all? How can that be?

99. Huge Budget for Elementary School Plays.
Kids act out their parts on the stage, and parents are gushing over them because of how cute they look. Some of them watch it through their camcorder. At the same time, the play looks so lavishly produced that it can be a Hollywood picture. Inquiring taxpayers will want to know, "How is it possible that a school can afford this?"

100. Commercially Successful.
This film made $100 million at the box office, and therefore, it's a hit! Maybe...maybe not. It depends. What people don't realize is studios tend to lie and don't often reveal the actual budget of certain films. And that international box-office numbers aren't measured the same way as it is in the United States. As a general rule, always think of one-third in terms of realized profit. For example, if a movie made $30 million overseas, divide that by 3, and that's probably what it made. Another general rule is: in order for a movie to be declared as a hit, it has to take in at least 1.5, maybe 2, the budget. Let's say a film with a budget of $20 million makes $20 million in the United States and another $9 million overseas. That's $20 million plus $3 million which comes to $23 million. Therefore, the movie didn't do well because it needed to be at least 1.5 times $20 million, or $30 million, to break even. And that's not all...the studio spends millions in advertising and marketing which is never announced as part of the budget. So, we'll sometimes never know if a movie was truly profitable or not.
