Why do they die first

[Whytewulf]

So I watched some movies over the weekend, and mad the overweight guys die quick in these movies. Though they do try and "cram" them into tiny ships (think Family Guy Star Wars). Stars 1,4,5 have this. Star Trek had it (though maybe it wasn't the weight but the RED SHIRT). One of these days, someone should create a "real" movie and the "husky" guy gets the girl. You know they love us... :rant off:

Hollywood hates fat people. Simple and Plain

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say.

But if you're on about the guy who isn't fat getting the girl, it's because movies tend to go for the attractive people for lead roles. You don't look at a fat dude and go, "mmm, lovely".

Just watch Zombie land, it's rule number one mate. XD

QTF. Also, wheres the discussion value in this?

Fat people and English, I can't remember what film it was but there was an english guy and as soon as I heard the accent I immediatly said he's gonna die. And guess what happened to him 10 minutes later...

The fat guy doesn't get the girl in real life though.
And they die quickly because they can't escape the monsters.

 

[sephiroth1991]

The guy with the goatee is always evil (Stares at Yahtzee)
Also the dumb slut that ever1 gets some off dies cos she's easy

Fat is not sexy

Watch 'Hitch'. Kevin James, the fat guy, manages to land a date, a relationship, and even manages to

Spoiler: At the end of the film

marry the girl

with Amber Valletta's character:

Spoiler: Amber Valletta's character

Oh deary me, I think I just broke your thread...

[small]That said, he is helped by Will Smith, so maybe this is the sole exception to the rule...[/small]

In the eyes of the monsters... Who is the easier target, the most food?
In the eyes of the audience.. haha look at fatty, i bet he dies
Everybodys happy

 

[RatRace123]

Fat people sometimes get the girl, but only if it's comedic, and it never lasts.

 

[WestMountain]

That fat kid in Superbad got the cutest girl

 

[zauxz]

Because we like to watch fat people scream, duh.

Well lets say that you are a carnivore. Would you go for the skinny really fast prey OR the fat lumbering prey that's lucky if it can get 5km/h?

Besides obese folks make better targets

I second this motion. Remember aspiring PCs Rule 1# Cardio!!!

And for you unfit bastards out there (I'm including the sickly thin ones here as well) Medicine tells us that only 30 minutes of serious activity a day is needed to outrun zombie and gobli...er...I mean to have an improoved healthy lifstyle.

Ahem, King of Queens anyone?

Pretty much this.

The thread seems to be doing reasonably well without any real point.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

It's hilarious how horror movies present the universe as cosmically punishing ugly people, the promiscuous, skeptics, and whatever else the writer feels is a social evil. I particularly like how Neil Gaiman problematizes this in A Game of You.

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

The invention of lying is a movie that sums up how people really feel about fatty people. The movie also has its main character who's fatty get the hot girl in the end of the film.
