Nobody mentioned how cars that crash in movies always blow up? Looks like they have a goddamn suicide bomber in the trunk.

The biggest mistake is the people being blown backwards by being shot. Mythbusters tested this and even a shotgun blast barely moved the hanging pig they tested.

Phone calls and knocks on the door are answered immediately. In general, about 2/3 of real life is waiting for something to happen. It's the opposite in movies.

Action movies where the guy gets punched repeatedly, falls of a roof 10-15 feet groans and keeps going and then can hang one handed from a helicopter or some shite.

Spin off- When movies get it right:

When a sprinkler system goes off and every sprinkler heads is spraying water. Thats not how it works in real life.

When characters fight ON TOP of moving trains.

Also, unless you have an upwardly curved penis, which is a thing, half of the sexual positions which involve the woman being hosted up aren't really possible.

-People who wake up in bed with their faces millimeters from each other carrying on a conversation. You can't tell me there's 2 people with pleasant morning breath that just so happened to end up together.
-Lack of hangovers. I mean even in movies like the hangover, it seems like they really aren't even all that affected. It's like "oommmgggggggggggggggggg I feel like DEATH. Let me take a sip of this cofee and aspirin and HOLY shite I'm 100% Let's go run a marathon!" I realize it'd be boring to have a movie where the entire next day someone lays on the couch under a blanket drinking gatorade watching netflix and ordering greasy delivery food but I mean give me some realism at least
-The laughable amount of force/skill it takes to incapacitate an opponent in a fight. You hit somebody once in the face and they're on their deathbed, they may not wake up for hours. Chop somebody on teh side of the neck and they're out for the count.

quote:season 1 of house of cards had a sex scene ending with the dude handing the girl a tissue from the side of the bed, and they both kind of cleaned up. I was shocked. I think I yelled at the TV "finally someone gets it right!"
Never cleaning up after sex. Just falling asleep in each other's arms.

The good guy doesn't kill the bad guy when he has the chance. "Let the system handle it even though he just raped and murdered my whole family." Come on!

This. I notice that in a lot of movies. Take, for example, Casino Royale. Just before Vesper Lind takes off for the bank, they have sex.
Once done, she just throws on a pair of panties and her dress, and away she goes! I'm thinking damn, I've never had a girl do that after sex!
And it's like this in just about every movie. They never show them cleaning up. Buncha filthy people! LOL

I almost never say bye either. Honestly I think the only person I say bye to is my grandma when talking to her.

so how do you end a conversation? That seems incredibly odd to me. I always say SOMEthing that indicates my portion of the conversation is done. Later, see ya, etc.
Do you really have calls like:
when are we leaving tonight?
Around 7.
*click*
that doesn't even sound believable.

Pretty much anytime cars or motorcycles are involved they have some synthetic engine noise. They'll show up in a 4 cylinder civic and it sounds like a big block V8.
Or when people are racing in a movie. The good guy always seems to have more throttle or another gear remaining. Like why wouldn't they have it floored to begin with?
