BINOCULARS/EYEGLASSES

Binoculars/EYEGlasses:  

  • In order to make it perfectly clear we are seeing what the person looking through the binoculars is seeing, what is shown will be in two joined circles. This is not what happens when one looks through binoculars.

  • A villain will always commit murder right in front of the window when someone with binoculars is watching.

  • The observer’s hands are always surprisingly steady when holding the binoculars.

  • Whenever one character spots something in the distance with their binoculars, they will hand them off to another character who will then immediately locate the same object. Go ahead and try this yourselves and see how long it takes the other person to locate the same object you did.

  • Eyeglasses never collect moisture when you come in from the cold outside.

  • The hero always has perfect 20/20 vision. Only the ‘geek’ or ‘intellect’ who helps the hero wears glasses. If it is a love interest, she will be supermodel hot and will only wear the glasses upon their first meeting.

  • If a person wears glasses, they will often remove them when thinking.

  • If it is a romantic comedy, the ‘ugly’ chick/best-friend will actually be a super hot chick in glasses.

  • The only time the hero is shown wearing glasses is if he has appeared in at least three previous films. The glasses will be used to show how he has gotten older.

  • If a person’s glasses get broken, no matter what happened to break them, they will usually still be wearable, but will be missing one lens.

  • If a person is a total nerd they will have tape on their glasses and will often adjust the position of the glasses on their nose by pushing the center with their index finger.
