Pshh. In the new Chainsaw move a dumb bitch jumps on a fricking ferris wheel to get away

Yeah, that big wheel that puts you right back where you were before will help you get away

Im pretty sure the guy playing the Chainsaw guy was laughing in the movie while this happened

Little attentions to detail that are overlooked. Especially when it's in a movie from a big time director that should look for those things.

Example: In Jurassic Park, when the T Rex busts out of the enclosure, and he walks in between the two explorers, you can see the driver door on the front explorer is closed even though seconds before in the movie, the lawyer freaked out and ran from the car, leaving the door open.

Stuff like that.

Hiding in closets. Most horror movies and thrillers and they just did it again in Taken 2. Awesome Ex-CIA guy advises his daughter to hide in the closet (as opposed to his earlier awesome advice in Part 1...hide under the bed.)

Really? The bad guys/killer isn't going to bother to look in the closet of some chick's bedroom which he saw her run into and inside the room is simply a closet and bed?

And yes, the bad guys in Taken 2 don't look in the closet...only because they hear a sound...which is way worse...when they're about to look into the closet but decide NOT to because something diverts their attention...and so they leave...but only before glancing at the closet once more...leaving unsure and undecided if they made the right call.

And people who say REALLY? in movies as the de rigueur catchphrase of this generation...like I just did above.

In chick flicks when the female leads break out into an emotional sing along as a bonding experience. Male characters will only be present for reaction shots.

Allegedly well trained cops who point their handguns in the air near their face when walking with their weapon drawn.

Allegedly well trained cops who keep their fingers on the trigger while assessing an open space.

Allegedly well trained cops that when firing their handguns, use too much trigger finger (which normally causes a shot to drift).

Allegedly well trained cops who jerk the hell out of the trigger, causing the gun barrel to visibly jerk with it in a sideward drift, yet every shot hits its mark.

Women who still look pretty in the morning (with makeup still on and hair looking salon fresh) after a night of sweaty, highly erotic sex.

A-list actresses who never end a sex scene by getting splooged in the face .... like in real life.

Sport movies where the team is losing and not passionate about their play until one character is granted an opportunity to address the team in a way that motivates everyone to play their best game ever.

When a bad guy goes to kill a main character. They always pause and end up getting shot.

When people always make out first thing in the morning.

Going up to the seemingly invincible killer to see if he is really dead from something that wouldn't have even killed a regular person only to be grabbed by the leg and then killed.

Running straight down the middle of the road when a car is chasing you instead of gettting off the road.

When 2 people pull a gun on each other at the same time and a stand off happens. I don't understand the line of thinking. "Oh, someone is pointing a loaded gun at me, I better not shoot because if I do they might kill me." This situation should only end when someone gets shot immediately.

The end of every romantic comedy when the leading man has to run to stop the leading lady from leaving the airport or getting married or whatever the frick.

Why does every rom-com have to climax and end this way?

This applies to TV and movies but I hate when they use camera angles to trick the audience. Like when someone is "hidden" off camera and they can't be seen when in reality they are 3 feet away and well within the normal range of human senses of the character that doesn't notice they're there. I find that insulting. Really, you couldn't at least have them hide behind a door or something?
