Little things in movies which annoy you! (no serious posts allowed)

they could compromise by having one of the gunners mimicking the noises like wot i do when i play xbox "pewpew hunnunununu booom motherf*cker!"
 
When something rather strange and alarming happens....followed by someone waking up because - yes! - it was all a dream.

I've noticed this a lot in films that turn out to be shit. Perhaps it's a warning - leave now, because this film is going to turn out to be shit. It happened in Drag Me To Hell the other night, and that turned out to be shit.
 
So many, it's difficult to recall them all. :D

Oh and the other thing is when they jump off a horse and just leave it to wander away. Now we all know the horse will just go off, grabbing a bit of grass on the way.
So just off camera somebody runs and grabs them and hangs on to them so they are still there later in the scene.
 
The single most annoying thing in movies for me, is the way people hear a strange noise, and decide to immediately go and see what's causing it, in the dark, with no weapons of any kind. I know that if they didn't do this then there would be no movie, but it still annoys me :D People don't just run away screaming often enough for my liking either, they actually hang around to get killed.
 
CREDITS..!! .The length of them at the end of a film! why do they go on so long ? Often the running time is taken up by 15 to .20 mins of credits !...can we have more film time and less credits please !:)
 
People never seem to lock their cars in movies. They can leave them unlocked in the worst areas of the worst cities on the planet and they are always there when they go back.
 
when they have 1 minute to get out before bomb explodes and its counting down and when theres 10 seconRAB left about 5 minutes passes and theres still 8 seconRAB to go and they get out in time
 
It's apparently because there is no phone number in the world beginning with 555. This prevents innocent people from being called by daft film viewers who think they're going to speak to George Clooney or something!
 
Any line of dialogue along the lines of 'My leg.........I think it's broken!'.

No you haven't, you've probably just twisted your ankle or something!
 
The Scream movies - the killer(s) always reveal themselves to Sidney and then proceed to have a long speech about why they done it all. So you went to all that trouble just to get to her, you finally have her backed into a corner and now all you want to do is spout some self-absorbed claptrap about how hard done by you are thus giving her the chance to outsmart you?

Jack Black and Kate Winslet in The Holiday - yeah, sure.... :rolleyes:

A man and a woman are put in some situation that they can't get out of - like hiding away somewhere from the bay guys. They are a serious mismatch and end up trying to wind each other up. Of course, this will lead to them having dirty kinky sex! Just as they are done doing the deed, bad guys will track them down and try to kill them. Lesson to be learned? Don't have sex!
 
and the recent trend of putting an extra scene after the credits, just to make you sit thru them:mad:

I sat thru 15 mins of credits to see the xtra scene I had been told about, just to find that there wasn't one!:mad::mad:
 
I'm surprised nobody's done this one yet:

The fact that telephone numbers, when read out in movies, must always begin 555.

I understand that this is because there's no genuine 555 area code and so an actual, real, living phone number won't get embossed in film for eternity and the studio won't get its ass sued off but...

The moment any character says 555 it takes you out of the movie and hits your straight between the eyes that you're watching actors in something made up.

A good writer who is making an effort to create a believable world that viewers get immersed in would write their way around this third-wall-shattering trio of numbers.
 
so isn't your problem that there should be an extra scene after every movie?

I get annoyed with American movies set in London where you cross Tower bridge to get to Buckingham palace which is in the shadow of Big Ben. Everyone uses a red phone box, lives in large Georgian building overlooking the Thames and the police all look "quaint" speak like Dick Van Dyke

or as in Austin Powers the whole of London looks more like the universal backlot of NYC with a phone box added and a couple of union jacks.
 
Computers in movies always make stupid beeping sounRAB everytime someone presses a key. And they all use an operating system that only seems to exist in Hollywood.
 
Helicopters/aeroplanes/rockets (delete as appropriate) don't make a sound until they are visible - even if they are hiding behind a cliff and haven't actually moved any nearer when they become visible.

Taxi drivers are never asked how much the fare is to where they have just driven the hero - the hero just shoves some money into their hand and gets out of the cab, without checking whether it is enough or too much, and if it is too much, never waits for his change.
 
No- I want all the scenes before the credits so that I don't have to sit thru lists of best boy and gaffer.

Totally agree with your US view of London. The other thing is that they manage to drive at a normal speed with no traffic jams ever. I driven across London without ever managing to get onto 4th gear.

Note- if they are not city dwellers living in a Georgian townhouse, they live in a quaint village in a chocolatebox cottage.
 
How about that in most romantic movies the guy and the girl usually get to together? Annoying. That's why one of my fav rom com's is The Breakup. If anyone has seen the ending, you wll know what i mean.

Why can't there be a twist like the guy dies or the guy goes gay or whatever? I don't know but rom com's are ones i majorly avoid.
 
When someone turns on any TV anywhere and it is on a news channel which just happens to be at the start of an important bulletin, I know Sky like to repeat their top story but its like the news team are all just sitting about waiting for the films star to turn his TV on before they can start.

Or every comedy film that involves a scene in a restaurant (and nearly all of them do) has to involve either knocking over a silver service waiter or some sort of flamb
