How often have you seen this in movies?!
Question: Innocent man/woman stumbles upon a murdered person and of course, picks up the knife or gun, whereupon the cops arrive and arrest him/her. Lol maybe they should arrest them for sheer stupidity? or at least, the writers for coming up with such hackneyed scenarios! Any thoughts?

How often have you seen THIS in movies too, "I can't tell you over the phone" (without any justification for that illogical likelihood) and inevitably the informer is dead by the time they meet!!!
Another over worked script device is going it alone. Not calling the cops for help is an overworked cliche.
Some times even a cop fails to get back-up.
He discovers some one will go after his wife, and instead of calling all cars to get there the fastest, he hops in his car and speeds like a mad man, or a hyper-active teen aged driver with raging hormones.
The writers have regurgitated the same script devices way too often. It was believeable once, but impossible to believe it happens so often in new scripts after all of us have seen it as a fatal mistake over and over for decades!
When I try, I can usually predict where the script is leading.
Some times it boils down to just two plots, as Hoffman said in "Stranger than Fiction", either death or coupling!!!
Yeah it is getting old.
lol that sounds funny. And if it's the other way around and they were to have shot the person, they wipe down the knife or gun to remove any fingerprints then split.
Arrest the lot of them I say.
Charge them with "Propogation of a Cliche".
like in final destination when the teacher gets killed
Yea that senario happens very often in movies. They've gotta have something random like a pink rabbit falling out of the sky and landing on the head of a guy selling striped popsicle sticks and works in a bar with 3 kids and 2 rats. Yea...I think my next movie should have that....Looking for people who'd play the role of a pink rabbit :D
Well,you never know what you'll do , unless you're faced with the same situation. I think maybe some people panic.& may do this.
But I do know not to run upstairs or down in the cellar, when someone after you & not to go & see if the "monster" is dead.
