In biopics when the main character (reporter, writer, composer, performer, explorer, it doesn't matter) says "I'm going to do (fill in he blank)", and someone else says "Oh no, you can't do that; it's never been done before!"

... an actor plays multiple roles in a film for no good reason:
Jack Nicholson in MARS ATTACKS
Terry-Thomas in KISS THE GIRLS AND MAKE THEM DIE
Peter Sellers in DR. STRANGELOVE
... exceptions to this argument because the performances were so damn good:
Eddie Murphy in THE NUTTY PROFESSOR
Dick van Dyke in MARY POPPINS
Mike Myers in AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME
I would take out Murphy in Nutty Proffessor, and add Murphy in Coming to America, Nicholson's, and Seller's performances to the "good" list, as well as Richard Pryor in Which Way Is Up? and Meg Ryan in Joe vs. the Volcano.

Leading man and leading lady have an attraction but leading lady has horrible husband. At some public function or party they meet and a third character is hovering (usually an irrelevant nonetity). In movies they always excuse themselves "Ooh i must get some more punch" or whatever, leaving the leading characters to have a private chat. In real life, these idiots never f**k off. You wanna be alone with some gorgeous woman just for 5 mins, but no, the nonentities stay and talk gibberish and they stay and stay until you feel like stabbing them with a fork!!!
