coughing

I hate coughing in movies. Because it's never just a cough. It's always a precursor to some long lingering death.

A character who coughs once during the first quarter of the movie, well, I know that this is going to be on long drawn-out tragedy of a lingering death.

I'm tired of every detail in movies being "important" - everything that means something and it all comes back full circle, etc.

But then, thinking over it, I don't like movies where most details are irrelevant either.

Maybe I don't know what I like or don't. But, at least, maybe once they could make a movie where a character coughs and doesn't later die of tuberculosis or lung cancer.
