When I see some wannabe-tough guy smoking a cigarette, and it’s obvious that they aren’t inhaling, it just bothers the shite out of me...

Anyone else?

I had a problem with flat stage eyeglass lenses before flat lenses became a real option. I still dislike it in period films.

My other peeve is actors playing musical instruments badly.

Do you guys understand what I’m driving at?

When an actor/actress just pulls the smoke, herbal or real, into their mouth and just “puffs it out”...

It reminds me of the kid in HS who really wanted to “look cool”, but couldn’t/didn’t actually inhale...

Yeah they are not smoking real cigarettes. Prop departments get these herbal cigs that smell weird.

That is legitimately distracting. Like, if an actor is playing a violin or cello or something and the bow strokes don't come close to the music it's completely obvious. and you don't even have to be very familiar with the instrument to notice.
