9/10 times they show a car driving at night the street is wet. Why is that?

Very dark scenes in places that aren’t usually dark, like a law office, police station, or a hospital hall in the middle of the day. As much as I liked The Last Boy Scout, a football field is never that dark. It’s hard to suspend belief in those scenes.

The streets are always wet in movies.

Wet pavement not only looks better on camera, but, in the same way that it’s hard to see road markings when you’re driving in the rain at night, the water diffuses reflections and helps eliminate shadows caused by filming equipment and multiple light sources.

Someone is on the run and needs a car desperately. They lower the visor and the keys pop out. Or, they magically know how to hotwire a car.

cheering/applause always sounds so fake. They'll make a crowd of 150 sound like 5000.

HATE the most recent push for less attractive people to be in lead roles. Really takes me out of it. Looking at you, Handmaids Tale

More of a show like AGT, Idol, The Voice, ANW. I don’t need a back story on these people you are bringing on. I don’t care what they did or what they are doing. I am there to watch them compete. Get on with the show. You could take a two hour show and get it to one hour (in which many people have limited time watching TV anyways).

It's not a major annoyance, but I can't stand to watch actors "not eat" at dinner table scenes.

I only watched a few of the early seasons but The Big Bang Theory was the worst about it.

The Sopranos seemed to have a lot of dinner table scenes and I can't ever remember it not seeming like the cast was actually sitting there and eating dinner.

There was a show last year called Yellowjackets, the one about the girls soccer team that got stranded in the wild. EVERY one of those girls but ONE was a 5 or 6 at best.

or typical breakfast.

Mom cooks an 8 course breakfast. Eggs, bacon, grits, biscuits, sausage, half a turkey, a rack of ribs, etc.

kid walks through grabs one slice of dry toast and bolts.


my mom would have put a .45 slug through the back of my skull if she cooked that much shite and i only grabbed a slice of toast.

Also people don’t get knocked out as quickly, easily, or for as long like that in real life. It’s one of those things that you have to suspend your disbelief for though it becomes annoying when shows/movies rely on it too much

Or tires squealing on a sandy road.
Also I get annoyed when I hear any iPhone sounds on TV. I swear commercials do this on purpose.

How about tires squealing when speeding away in a desert like that scene in "Casino" where Pesci meets with DeNiro out in the middle of nowhere, tells him off and then speeds away in his Cadillac peeling out.

When the hero or villain lights off a bomb and walks away but then doesn’t look back as it explodes.

I'll second this, but I've actually heard screeching tires on a dirt road before. I'm like, do you people even look at the shot you are putting sound to?
