re: Small things in shows/movies that bother you

Thankfully they don’t make many movies about accounting so I don’t have to constantly be pissed at how my profession is portrayed.
I feel like I would be even angrier than her if they were fricking up basic shite.

Can't stand this. Most of the newer teen/romantic comedy type movies have these incredibly sophisticated worldly teenagers discussing things that nobody IRL actually does.

Yeah it’s hard to believe how bad some of these actors are. Like did y’all never even play little league?
Funny enough, I had a few drinks with people who work in the industry tonight (not a brag, super fringe, like people who drive and do paperwork) and they were talking shite about this exact thing. They made a good point, though -- your people in movies actually didn't play little league, they were too busy going to drama summer camp.
That made a lot of sense to me. On some level, sure, if you're so big on acting shouldn't you be able to act like you can take a swing, or throw a ball, or whatever, but for those actors those acts are probably completely foreign. No muscle memory.
It's still painful to watch.

Ppl shooting machine guns and the ejection port cover stays closed whilst shooting.
The badass with the shotgun who has to rack it 6 times in the movie yet he hasn't shot anyone with it since the first time.
Fkd up salutes in Military movies. This is one of the first things you learn in Bootcamp.
Movie badass never bruises anywhere through 20 fights.

There’s an episode of Home Improvement. Tim is at a restaurant/bar sitting at a table. Waitress pours him a glass of beer that is at least 80-90% foam. It’s cringeworthy.
You can tell from the scene that Tim Allen improvises his reaction to seeing that glass of foam. IIRC he jokingly picks up the glass and toasts her as she walks away

Some movies do it right though. One of my old hs coaches was in The Rookie with Dennis Quaid. They had actual ball players warming up during the tryouts.

most films of scale will have military advisors, historians, researchers etc. But there are times when the creative or storytelling elements are more important and if the director wants it that way the crew obliges. But most experienced crews strive for accuracy at all costs.
I'm on a period piece at the moment and we have to recreate an "island" from an aircraft carrier used in the Korean War. Will go to great lengths to get it right, but if we need to adjust slightly for camera then we will.

Drives me crazy when they ALWAYS have to work the action on a weapon - pistol, shotgun, etc....
Doesn't matter if they were already in a situation, if things get serious they rack it. Like they wouldn't already have one in the chamber at that point.
Every time.....drives me crazy.

Not once, in the history of sitcom television, has anyone ever entered their apartment or room and the lights were off.

Unless there's a surprise party waiting for them.

The timing of a bullet.
From one shot a man fires his gun. You hear it fire. Then switch to a shot of the person he's firing at, to see him move behind a wall or obstruction just in time to see the sparks fly from the bullet hitting the wall/obstructions. I get it. You can't show it all instantaneously... but it bothers me because it shows someone as if they had the time to move and hide from a bullet.

Probably already been posted, but when basketball courts or baseball fields are two small.
Watched an episode of Schitts Creek last night and they played softball. Bases were probaly 20 feet apart. Reminded me of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air baskeball court.

How else are you supposed to know they're in a hurry.

Related: The unrealistic amount of time tv/movie characters have before needing to leave for work. They go visit friends, wander all over town, etc.

Not a lot of door-locking going on in sitcoms, either. Even in NYC.

Bullet impacts on helicopters sparking and the aircraft taking a huge amount of bullet impacts without going down.. Most if not all civilian helicopters are made up of aluminum, fiberglass, and carbon fiber with a very little steel,and are quite fragile machines with lots of highly vulnerable single point of failure components.
Also the generic helicopter sound usually a bell 47 (M*A*S*H) Helicopter used for any helo. Its the 21st century, can't tell me you don't have digital sound files of the correct make and model.

One thing that I’ve noticed a little bit that doesn’t seem realistic to me is that characters will have a night of over the top, heavy drinking. They will cut together clips of how much they drink and how drunk they are. Then they show them waking up in the morning simulating the hangover or the headache, but just going about their business. I would be running to the refrigerator and basically downing two or three or four bottles of water the next morning. I’ve only seen that happen twice to my recollection, in a movie called we are your friends, and a show called American housewife.

Or when they drink like 10 bourbons at the bar and don't miss a step or slur a word
