Pet peeve in movies/TV

They are in Northern California. Everyone does pot up there, and no one cares.

Normalizing and glorifying degradation is a staple of mainstream Hollywood

Kind of generic

When a character gets caught in compromising circumstances that has a very simple explanation and either

A. Says “I can explain” and doesn’t
B. The person catching them absolutely refuses to let them explain.

When every time they park its right in front of the place they need to go, even in LA and NYC.

When they just make a call and close their phone. Nobody ever says bye

That nobody ever checks security cameras or CCTV. Hunters Wives spent the whole season brainstorming who entered a building and who was where at what time and never mentioned security footage or phone pings

Characters cocking guns when not needed.

My ultimate one is in horror movies when someone runs upstairs to escape the murderer. It’s pretty much destroyed me in the genre.

Characters stating facts that each of them knows and so does the audience.

It's lazy AF writing.

Bigoted cops.

30+ years in law enforcement in multiple states and jurisdictions. Never encountered a single one.

Seems to be a Hollywood trope that people think is real.

Investigators leaving a scene where they learn something, but they don't start the dialog about what they figured out until they are getting out of the car after driving back from the scene to some other place. Like they just didn't talk about it the whole ride and waited until 20 minutes later getting out of the car.

Or the opposite, they are headed to question someone, and they don't talk out the game plan until they are walking up to the door after the drive. Just didn't bother to figure it out in the way there I guess.

When something needs to get fixed under the kitchen sink, some one ALWAYS has a pipe wrench. I have never brought a pipe wrench under the sink to tighten the nuts. Either hand tighten or use a pair of channel locks to tighten or loosen the nut.

The cliche’ rich white clique verbally or physically harassing the minority or weaker group. How often does this happen? Personally, I didn’t see this growing up in school.

Buddy Repperton running from Christine always irks me but the shot of Christine on fire is iconic.
