So damn near every movie pisses you off. And every episode of every Aaron Sorkin TV show.

Yeah, cause they put on a merkin (or pubic wig). It also allows actors and actresses to do nearly nude scenes without having actual nudity.
Fun fact: prostitutes used to (or maybe still do) wear these to hide STD's.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up!
There's an actual dictionary word for a pussy wig... AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?

3-D effects that are put in movies only for distraction and oohs and aahs. Its pointless and cheap.

This says a lot about the friends I had in undergrad, but I learned this word from a friend of mine who always used to joke about being "Uh-murrrkin" rather than American.
Another fun fact about Merkins:
In PCU, Jon Favreau's character, Gutter, wears a t-shirt of a band called "The Merkins."

As epic as that scene is, it's not very realistic now is it?
At least that scene was purposely written to be over the top.
Most characters in a typical movie or TV show rattle off dialog that is just as ludicrous, but portrayed as being realistic instead of epic.

Mine would be how every bad guy tells the hero when he has him caught the grand plan to take over the world(for example). Instead of just killing him instead of giving him a chance to get away and stop his plan now that he knows it.

The Top 100 things I'd do if i was an evil overlord

7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

Pretty sure I wouldn't wait for him to even say, "Look, before you kill me..." In fact, pretty sure I wouldn't capture him unless I needed information from him or I needed to kidnap him for some reason or other (e.g. to take him to a more remote place or for ransom).
But I'm no evil overlord.

unrealistic but it isn't good to just have the audience waiting there for someone to pick up the phone or answer the door if it doesn't add anything. They're just getting to the point

I'm tired of fight scenes where the good guy effortlessly knocks everyone unconscious sometimes just by throwing a chair or something at them.
And in comedies when one character says something that's supposed to be shockingly funny or off the wall, the other person just looks up stunned and doesn't say anything. It's just lazy writing to me. I want a witty response not a surprised look.

Light bulbs exploding for dramatic effect.
Sparks flying out of space ship control consoles when they get hit with a weapon. Also debris falling from the ceiling of space ships in the same situation. It was dumb when Star Trek did this 40 years ago and even dumber now.
