You just don't get it (do you?)

Something a little different today — a kaleidoscope of cliché, a symphony of banality. A friend hipped me to this carefully compiled collection of lazy screenwriting, distilled into one magic phrase that just staggers with its prevalence. In movies, that is. That's the thing. When was the last time in real life you heard someone say it? All of it, I mean. It's just not the same without the stupid rhetorical question at the end. You hear it enough times and it's absolutely hypnotic. And it's used in just about every dramatic situation, so vast is its emptiness. I kinda can't stop watching, and I'm still not sure I get why.
