This is hilarious! 
Some of the rules and cliches of movies which are sometimes so
apparent, you can't help but laugh when they appear.
Things like:
"Miss Blanche?"
Character
Any character in a film who is a false hero and exists only to get
killed for shock value -- usually seconds after theyve found out
the villain. Examples: Detective Arbogast in "Psycho," the cop in
"Misery," the brother in "The Stepfather," the football player in
the remake of "The Blob," and, of course, the maid in "What Ever
Happened To Baby Jane?" (The title comes from her last
words.)
'We've been
expecting you...'
Whenever a hero fights his way into the villains fortress, escaping
multiple assassination attempts, he will be caught and taken to the
villain, who will invariably greet him with, "We've been expecting
you."
Always Use the
Valet Parkers
Anyone who walks through a parking garage will be physically
assaulted.
