    Red Exclamation Mark Your B-Movie Super Power

    So your special power isn't cool enough to get you a starring role in a comic book or film, but maybe you have a special power that helps you in everyday life. Case in point, my Gf has this knack for knowing when police are in the general vicinity. She almost never gets tickets cause she can always tell where speed traps are, or can tell if a cop is sneaking around a few cars back.

    So what weird special talents do you have that could be considered a B-Movie super power?

    There was a time when I three starred every level in Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Space

    Then I lost all my progress when I got a new phone and havent even installed Angry Birds.

    My other power is I can pretty much sleep anywhere
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    My attention to detail is higher than usual (thanks a lot, PTSD!). I can scan a room and tell you if someone has changed clothing, see if a sign is wrong or has moved, or otherwise recall details that other people usually have to write down or double-check about.

    Naming other films of actors and actresses, or naming the voices of actors and actresses. Sounds dumb (so it works for a B movie), but I am a master at naming super obscure acting parts. I just had an awesome example from like two days ago but I've forgotten it now ;_____________;

    I'm alright at making people laugh, but I only gained that ability since I don't really have much else going for me.

    I have the power of serendipity. No matter how trout a mistake I make I tend to always land in a better place.

    Boldly go.

    You should start a Psychic Detective Agency.

    I can annoy you either by being an arrogant know-it-all or a creepy silent loner. There is no in-between. No exceptions.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I went through my entire list of songs that I can play and sing at the weekend. I realised I can play and sing over 130 songs.

    Remembering chords, lead and lyrics for 130 songs is something I didn't even know I could do.

    I have the power to hide all my Samuel L. Jackson facial expressions behind polite ones.
