The War on Cliches Continues...
Snowed again today (or rather iced in) so have some free time.
Here's a fun link that talks about all those really really bad movie lines that you hear over and over again...
You know like...
"It's quiet...too quiet" which is usually followed up by some extreme action which is most relatively unquiet.
or my favorite:
"Did I just say that out loud?"

And if you see one of these lines in your script, do yourself a favor and rewrite it.
Don't be lazy. Be a hero. Wipe out Cliches.
