re: Small things in shows/movies that bother you

Two characters are hungry, they stop at a diner for breakfast, waitress serves them a delicious breakfast, both characters take little tiny bites, talk a lot, don't eat half the meal, man always has the exact correct cost of meal with a random amount of wadded up dollar bills in front pocket, he just blindly pulls out whatever cash is in pocket and lays it in front of cashier, doesn't count it, cashier looks at it and magically knows the wad of one dollar bills is correct as the couple have already left.

Injuries heal overnight. Someone gets shot or has the hell beaten out of them. They will be bruised up or in a sling for maybe a day. Within three days they are fist fighting, wrestling, etc. with no problem.

Military frick-ups always irritate me. Rankings that are wrong, uniforms and medals that are incorrect, salutes that are shitty, no covers outdoors, etc. Bugs the shite out of me.

For a thread complaining about what movies get wrong, you sure do use the wrong term quite a bit.

That really bothered me in The Witcher. Especially after they haggle and the guy just pulls the bag of coins out and hands it over.

I love the suppressor on a revolver. You don't really see that much anymore (its in older movies).

I hate the "click." If you don't have a round in the chamber already in most of those situations you're already dead.

Also, when people order a drink or food and never touch it.

In the seasons that I watched of the show, it seemed like The Big Bang Theory had at least one scene an episode like this.

Everyone in the scene would move the food around on their plate with their fork, but never actually take a bite the entire scene. It was hard not to notice.

What others?

You said a lot.

There's acceptable slang.

Should I say magazine?

And my critique was the use not the many terminologies that are used. I don't care about that nonsense just movie gun play.

That's like complaining about bullets, they're all gonna call them bullets.

The cry of a hawk just so you're sure to know that the actors are in the wilderness.

Bird/animal calls that are ridiculous for the location.

The crackling noise when someone draws on a cigarette. It was kind of cool at first but now is just a horribly over-used cliche.

Two people talking to each other on telephone. One decides it't time for conversation to end, so just hangs up, never says bye. I see this a lot.
