Drives my wife crazy when they can’t take the time to show an x-ray correctly.

For me it is if a piece of the set is somehow on different sides in different shots. Example is in Bly Manor, the candles in the church are usually on the left but some scenes they are on the right.

Baseball movies in which the actors (even the teammates of the main character) look like they’ve never thrown a ball before.

Yeah it’s hard to believe how bad some of these actors are. Like did y’all never even play little league?

The worst was the flashback scenes in Cobb. Old Tommy Lee Jones trying to act like he’s playing ball wtf

It’s also stupid when they take an obviously hot young actress and try to Pretend she’s ugly or so nerdy no one notices she’s drop dead gorgeous

1) 16 year olds bantering in the most well educated, well thought out speeches known to man, representing a completely well developed world view.

2) Experienced Professional A explaining something that would be basic knowledge for that profession to Experienced Professional B.

In The Outsider, everyone in the show called the Georgia State Police Staties. Thats a northern term thats not been uttered once in Georgia. Its the GSP or just state patrol.

More on gun play.

On the Walking Dead, Rick used the same Colt Python for 10 years.

Besides it’s ability to magically regenerate bullets, the actor holds it wrong. He holds it high and pointed at the ground. Every time.

After ten years, the directors and actor have to be doing it on purpose and not out of ignorance.

Medical shows are the absolute worst at portraying medicine.

They rarely get any aspect of care correct.

playing the pronoun game" is when a character uses a pronoun such as "he" or "they" in place of a name forcing another character to ask "who?". Often used in films to give an excuse for exposition or as a cheap way to add mystery.

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.


I always assumed they were leaving the rest as a tip.

Guns are “clicky” or “loud” or whatever you want to call it. Guns don’t just make noises because you tighten your grip.

“Don’t do it! He’s not worth it!” Most over-used character moment in cinema and TV. And it is usually cringy AF. The only acceptable solution is to go Punisher on his arse.

The Rock

Nicholas cage character stabbing the atropine injector in his heart.

The correct way is the thigh or arse. Followed by a 2 Pam choride injection.

I mean we all love Die Hard but John McClaine was an off-duty cop in a different city...going over for a Holiday Vacation. He wouldn't have 1000 rounds on his person and tons of clips if he even could've/would've been allowed to bring his gun.

And what the frick is he doing carrying a gun in a shoulder holster on a plane while on vacation?

And this was pre-911 but sorry that wasn't kosher back then. Oh, hey you're a cop...sure have a nice flight with your loaded gun. We can't and don't have the time to vet you, but you said you were with the NYPD so that's good enough for us...even if you've been fired or declared mentally unstable...we don't care, you have a badge...you're good to go crazy person.



Per Axel Foley, in Detroit cops were required to carry at all times. Maybe it was the same for NYPD in movie world.

I’m sure if he has his badge and his commission proving he was a cop, they’d let him on the plane with his gun.

Remember, this was the 80s where you could still smoke on a plane.
