Just Shut Up And Get On With It For Fucks Sake!

Question: Why can't people in (mainly American) tv & movies get on with stuff instead of either pausing / not doing what they are supposed to be doing or chatting that much that their plan / situation goes to shit?

Apparently the answer is 'it creates suspense' but I honestly thing the correct answer is 'because it winds up impatient fuckers like you' (and by you I mean me. or possibly you)

Take for example the end of The Walking Dead: Season 3:

We see Andrea handcuffed to a chair with no apparent means of escape. Except some dude has slipped a pair of plyers near her feets. Dude gets stabbed and gets locked in the room with shackled Andrea... oh noes. But stabbed dude tells Andrea of said plyers and that she should get a wriggle on as I'm dying and if a die I'll come to eat you. After successfully being a girl and dropping the plyers Andrea finally gets to work on the chains of the handcuffs (would that even work? Plyers on a chain made so it's not easy to break/ I dunno).

Anyways, does she go at the task in hand with gusto, stopping for nothing, NOTHING, until she is free from her bounds? Does she fuck, she has a bash then stops and just looks at the dude slowly turning into the thing that's going to kill her. Another quick bash, another long look at what's going on, all the while with me shouting 'for fucks sake, just get on with it, Christ!'

Anyway, the fucker bit her and she died. Serves her right. Plus she was starting to get on my wick in general so no major loss there then.

Another classic example is the bad guy. Whoa, he's done it.. the bad guy has bested the good guy. the good guy is on the ground ladies & gentlemen and unarmed. It's gonna be an easy kill for the baddie. Except the bad guy will now start waffling on about all sorts of shit, giving the good guy time to compose, weapon up and in some case find that last bead of strength as he's just been informed as to what the bad guy is gonna do to his missus... and the good guy triumphs. Again, not a big fan, just get on with it and stop gloating.

I am going to cut some slack to one bunch of bad guy though, and that's these lot, Detroit's finest:

 

 

 

Ok, so there was some spiel, who can forget the legendary "cops don't like me, so I don't like cops. Nininininin" but at the end of the day they got on with it, got the job done and fucked up Murphy.

So, if you're in the middle of trying the fuck to get out of handcuffs before a zombie type bites you, looking at them is not going to get you out of your predicament any quicker.. focus! If you find you have shit kicked a good guy to the point where you hold the high ground and are armed... this will be the point where you finish them off and enjoy the spoils. You can gloat about it with your mates later in the pub.

Just fucking get on with it!!!!!!!!
