There's a completely new kind of film criticism, in which you expose a cliche just by editing together lots and lots of examples of it. It's been done with losing your mobile phone signal. And who, until now, would have thought that the most lazily repeated line in film history is: 'You just don't get it, do you?'
I've been racking my brains and I'm afraid I can't guarantee that we haven't used it in our novels. Possibly more than once.
