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

How about whenever anyone downloaRAB a video from the internet it is always smooth, full screen, high-res video unlike the small, jerky ,blocky youtube crap the rest of us get.
 
But given that the Scream movies are an homage to all movie horror films, it makes perfect sense for them to use the 'villain's explanation' cliche as well.
 
The politeness of bad guys in a fight. This is especially bad in martial arts films. You have one guy alone and 5+ guys who go to beat him up or grab him but attempt to do so one at a time rather than rush him together and give him a good kick-in.

I've seen plenty of footage of football hooligans fighting but doin't ever remember them stopping and saying.

"After you."
"No please after you."
"Oh, I can't be so rude, please you was waiting before me."
 
Isn't the genre title a big enough clue for you? :confused: It's a romantic comedy, it's meant to have a happy ending. :rolleyes:

I would guess that there are plenty of genres aimed at men - action, action adventure, war, westerns, gross comedies, sci-fi,shoot-em-ups, so as a woman who enjoys a good blockbuster, I enjoy a good romantic comedy. It's not about the ending, we all know what the ending's going to be, it's about how they get there.

And to make myself clear, I enjoy all of the genres apart from Westerns, but I would guess they're not particularly aimed at me, just as I would guess romantic comedies are not aimed at you. ;)

Oh and to get back on topic, I hate when 2 people are driving in a car and a blue screen is used behind them, it looks so obviously false.

I also hate when people drive in movies, they wiggle the steering wheel back and fore to prove they're driving, but if you did that in real life you'd be in a ditch.
 
Or in a country manor - and they always drive classic cars (old minis or jags and the like).

If the movie is set around Christmas - there is always snow (Briget Jones - deep white unblemished snow in the middle of London - pull the other one).
 
Oooh, that annoys me too. They get a telephone call telling them to put the news on, never what channel, the tv just goes straight to that channel and it's the start of the news report. If someone was phoning you, they'd have to watch the story to find out what it was about, then actually ring you, then tell you why they were calling. By the time you turned on the report would be almost finished/finished.
 
'drugged up' cinematography. Only example which isnt so obvious and shite that it makes me want to throw my remote at the telly is Fear and Loathing, and even then, only just.
 
When a couple have just had a night of raging passion, the female feels the need to hide her dignity next morning or is wearing underwear?

Computer hackers can type at a breakneck speed, and can always use OVERIDE if they don't know the password. SWORDFISH is a classic example of this.
 
The hero always knows which way the bad guys have gone, either on foot or in the car. They could have turned down multiple streets, but the hero knows which one they went down.

Also the way the cops fire enough ammo to bring a nation to its feet, but its only the hero that gets on target, or if the bad guy is the main character the cops just miss :eek:
 
Relate to this, when two people in a moving car are having a conversation and the driver keeps looking at his passenger for far longer than is safe.
 
Cheap horror movies with that droning voice (sorry US guys), "Katy, is that you? Come on guys this isn't funny" or the other line to the killer "Why are you doing this?"
 
Hehehe- I always think "he can't be that good a lover if he doesn't know how to take off your knickers"


I can type at that speed.
It just that it comes out as

And don't forget the obligatory 'We're in!' to your colleagues as the firewalls tumble and page after page of information suddenly flash onto your screen. No menu page for you!
 
Thought of another, swimming underwater.... I know its a movie and its not real but seriously, are you trying to tell us that someone can stay underwater and swim, usually while being chased by a shark or alien, up a long passageway, round a corner, push open a door (which is usually stuck) then swim up another long passage and finally just managing to climb out of the water before the shark/alien catches them. All this takes about 3-4 minutes, the actor only takes one breath before diving into the water and then exerts themselves physically, a professional diver would find it hard doing all that and they have air to breath!

Watch Alien Resurrection for the ultimate use of this.
 
The evil company exec always dies via the method he is known as being evil for. If he deals oil he will drown in oil, if he rustles cattle he will be trampled to death by stampeding cattle, if he deals dugs he will inevitably die surrounded by loaRAB of drugs and money which will fly all over the place when he is shot/blown-up and slowly fall over his body as the camera slowly pans to show the good guy.

Or the business partner who turns out to be the bad guy, multi-million dollar company, 2 partners, both rich beyond their dreams, one ALWAYS has to murder the others wife/entire family for some ridicules reason.

Any film involving a boat, train, plane, spaceship will ALWAYS end with it about to crash into something because the brakes/steering/throttle have been tampered with.
