I think it would be funny to see a movie that completely destroyed all of these movie cliches and made a super realistic movie. It would be boring as shite and awkward but i would still watch.


They did this a little bit in a few scenes in "The Other Guys" it was pretty well done

Mine is if you are hanging from something with one arm holding a grown arse man by the wrist or hand for that damn long is impossible for nearly anyone. Unless you have massive hand strength. Not to mention pulling up a 180-220 pound man with one arm while holding on to something.

It really annoys me when a building is surrounded by cops but the bad guys get away. (Looking right at you 24)

Also, really grinds my gear when the good guys just give up trying to catch the bad guy even though he was just in sight two seconds before they quit the chase.

The Jurassic Park cliff scene is the ultimate.

Suspenseful movie. Character A finds out some important, plot resolving info and calls Character B. Tells Character B, "I have some very important information to tell you. Meet me at X." Character A never makes it to that meeting.

You are already on the fricking phone. Just tell him this life-saving information!!

Kind of reminds me of the scene from True Lies when Arnold is chasing the terrorist on a horse on the roof top. The horse stops right before the edge, and Arnold, easily 250 pounds, flies over the top of the horse and over the side of the building, still holding onto the reins, and doesn't pull the horse over the edge with him. The physics of that scene never seemed right.

The fact that no "victims" in a horror movie have seemingly ever seen a horror movie. They're all "let's investigate" instead of "Run, b&%#h! Run!" To make matters worse, they all pull a Fred and "let's split up to search for more clues, gang!" and head down to the dark and scary basement as well as the creepy attic and never seem to correct the issues with the breaker being out or bring nearly enough light for the situation. Has anyone ever heard of an LED lantern?

Laser guns don't seem to have laser targeting, and the laser beams seem to travel slower than the speed of light.

Not matter how big the guns/weapons are throughout the movie, when the ultimate fight against the boss bad guy happens, it will end up a fist fight.

I especially hate it when the boss bad guy is a brain type. the hero beats the ever living shite out of these professional henchmen, but the squirrelly smart bad boss gets some punches in to create drama as to whether the hero will win the fistfight.

All beds have "L" shaped sheets that cover the woman from the shoulders down and the man from the waist down.

Wedding Receptions in movies apparently also incorporate the rehearsal dinner where there is a head table for the bride, groom and their family and all of the best man/maid of honor speeches are made.

Not a movie, but in the new detective type tv shows, they have 12 people on the case and every one of them explains the case one or two sentences at a time, taking turns and no one ever speaks over the other one.

This is the most irritating thing OF ALL THINGS IRRITATING!!!
People are actually dumb enough to watch shows like this and enjoy them!

Criminal Minds does that a lot, but it really doesn't bother me

People drinking coffee in movies kills me. The cups are empty and it's like no one even attempts to make it seem like they are drinking a hot beverage

I have been to a few weddings outside the "Deep South" that weren't like this.
