Not to mention the heat would be far too intense to allow anyone to enter without being burned unless he has protective equipment.
Once saw a western where a guy had to go into a burning house. What he did was dunk himself in the water trough, then go in.

People make dates without ever mentioning where, what time, are we meeting there or who’s picking up who, etc.


Person A: You wanna go out sometime?

Person B: Sounds like date
Person A: [walks away]

People with low paying jobs (if you ever see them work at all) can still afford decent apartments in Manhattan.


Worse they have giant lofts.

Kevin Bacon was a bike messenger in Quicksilver but lived in a loft so big, he could ride his bike around in it.

Tom Hanks had a job for a week in Manhattan but with no previous work experirnce, no credit, he scores a giant loft so big, he can fit a trampoline in it and still have room for first time sex.

The scenery is just plain wrong for the supposed location. I'm watching Washington on the History Channel and so far in about 30 minutes they've shown Ohio Territory (around Pittsburgh) as craggy mountains, prairie, and pine mountains. Several Westerns have shown Arkansas as high mountains. M*A*S*H was pretty obviously California. The Office was also obviously California when they drove around (Eucalyptus trees?). Hollywood really has no idea what most of America looks like.

Also, i know unprotected sex is rampant but EVERYBODY in tv shows/movies goes raw all the time..even for people they just met at bars etc.

And people usually climax in 30 seconds


And there's NEVER ANY CLEANUP. the guy will nut in the girl then they just roll over and fall asleep lol

Gotta be tires squealing anytime a car moves or changes direction. Or shotgun blasts making small bullet holes.


Also anytime there’s some sort of cultural or exotic cuisine it’s always just a full animal on a plate.

Also Josh Haskin's first paycheck in BIG is $187.

Which is enough to rent him this:



Which is a real Soho loft that sold for $10 million two years ago.

The mortal human killer in a slasher is almost always someone in the main character’s friend group or some revenge after the main but they leave the main for last.

Friend groups in recent movies that are now always unorganically diverse than they were 10-20 years ago.

Morning breakfast is always nice and perfect with a great selection and half the family never eat but leave in a hurry.

High school science classes are messing around with chemicals and experiments at all times.

Judges overruling an objection from an attorney and telling the adversary attorney examining the witness that this “better be good” or “better be going somewhere.”

Sorry for any repeats, but:

Virgins being good in bed their first time

People acting way too high after smoking a small amount of weed

Phone conversations where the person you can’t hear is clearly conveying more information than possible in the amount of time depicted

That’s a good one.

When 2 people have to meet in a bar for a serious/discreet discussion, they order their drinks and then 1 of the guys ends up leaving within 90 seconds of ordering said drinks

Well technically he didn’t get that place until they promoted to VP and gave him a big office and a secretary.

Still ridiculous for a bunch of other reasons, but he was living in ghetto hotel on the $187 paycheck

Can’t believe it hasn’t been said. Almost every wedding scene in a sitcom or Romcom.
‘“If anyone knows any reason these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
Someone always speaks up.

Also, indigenous people and teenagers don’t ever have acne. Pretty much all Native Americans in movies and TV have perfectly smooth , unblemished tan skin. Unless he’s a bad guy. Then he can have craters and pock marks.

Bad guys that get shot are instantly dead and motionless regardless of wound location.

Also, whenever there is a scene out West where it's super dry and dusty, the car being filmed is almost always spotless and you can see your reflection in the paint. Did this a lot on Breaking Bad.
