That's So Cliche

Prompts = Exam, Lipstick, Coronary

Film school. Yes, we have lectures and exams (in addition to the hands-on learning you’d expect). And at study sessions, we gripe about hated cliches…

‘Why are women in the emergency room in full makeup? It’s not like someone takes time to put on blush after calling an ambulance at 3am because of heart palpitations.’

I chimed in. ‘Here’s the coronary corollary: if it’s a comedy, the heart attack will hit while she’s watching herself put on lipstick in the bathroom mirror.’

Someone replied, ‘Crime thriller addendum — it happens there too.’

What can I say — we’re also cliche connoisseurs.
