"Where is 'insert name here'?"
Response: Short stare followed by a simple negative headshake"
When someone is using a gun with an Eotech type red dot sight and then it shows the character's supposed view and it is zoomed in like 20x, round field of view, with a crosshair reticle.
If someone is running from someone/thing chasing them, they are GUARANTEED to fall down, even in a flat parking lot with nothing to trip over. Many times when they fall, they just roll over on their backs and stare at the chaser while helplessly just kind of scooting backwards on their arse.
Being in a huge hurry to recover/steal an object, only to find it, pick it up, and stare at it until you hear the people coming to stop you.

When a phone keeps ringing and no one answers it bit it keeps ringing and ringing.
When a baby is screaming or crying and it just goes on and on and no one is comforting it.
When a car horn keeps being honked at someone in a house but they're not coming out.
Basically anything loud that the director makes a point of dragging out past any positive result to a narrative.

When a driver is talking to the passenger and looks at him long enough for the car go through a building over a cliff and into the ocean

This and it's every kind of movie death Every gunshot immediately kills someone. The knockout to the head is equally bad.

Calling Marines "soldiers" frick that
Saying "ex marine" also frick that
Non regulation hair cuts for Marines. Come the frick on. Think Brad Pitt in Spy Games.

Westerns where they are traveling down a dirt road that you can tell trucks have gone down.
Bad regional accents
Mountains in place that have no mountains
For tv shows— everyone seems to exist on take out Chinese food

I watched an interview with some cast members of some show I can't recall YEARS ago that spoke to this. Basically said pretending to eat was always the hardest part of most dining scenes. The food is always cold from being placed on set long before the shoot and it's not natural as you can't eat and talk like a normal human, as it distracts from the dialog and creates bad shots.
They sure did master it in The Sopranos.

That doesn’t bother me. It’s like using a 555-XXXX phone number. Avoiding an innocent IP getting hit with a DDoS or something.
If they used a 10.X.X.X or a 192.168.X.X I’d be yelling at them for using a private IP.

Star Trek Generations: bad guy launches a rocket at the sun to make it go supernova. As Picard stands and watches it, the rocket flies a couple hundred feet in the air, and hits the sun.
Star Trek remake, where Spock watches Vulcan go into the black hole from one of it's moons. If he can see it, he's dead too.
Star Wars TFA- rebels/resistance watching Starkiller Base destroy the New Republic, by gazing into the sky.
** btw, the New Republic is in power, so why is there a Resistance?
Some of the physics in TLJ- bombers drop "falling bombs" in space.
Energy weapons shooting on an arc, as the big ship chases a smaller one.

Was gonna mention the sprinkler system thing. Every single movie gets this wrong.
I was going to post that, plus when it's clean water coming out the sprinkler it cracks me up. If you got sprayed from it you'd be covered in the black water and it wouldn't just wipe off with a towel.
it's pretty much all construction related things that drive me nuts due to me working in construction.
The crawling through ductwork is one I always bring up. If for starters it held you up, you'd be so cut up from sharp edges inside the duct and sheet metal screws, you'd be bleeding all over the damn place.
Busting through walls in a fight. Even if it's a sheetrock wall theres still either wood or metal studs in the wall. You may crack the sheetrock up but you aren't getting through the studs. not to mention the walls always seem to be hollow, no electrical wires and misc other pipes and insulation and etc.
Just some of the more obvious things I see all the time.

I absolutely can't stand how loud guns are in movies. They don't make sounds when you just wave them around. And excessive cocking...hate that too
Ok...I'm done...for now

Why didn’t they fly private in Commando? Dude has his own island basically and put Arnold on a commercial flight with one guy “escorting” him
Then Arnie somehow still beats the original commercial flight to the destination after all the events during the movie and yes, flying to the same location in a sea plane.
And while in route, Arnie doesn’t suit up. He waits to get to the shore to gets his weapons and put on face paint. Not like there was a countdown to his daughters death or anything.
I can deal with steam shooting out of the pipe that impaled Bennett instead of blood and guts, but the timing of everything bothers me tremendously.
But still one of the most underrated action movies of all time. God damn I love that film.

As a kid growing up in the 60's 70's, I didn't see much of that, but it's pretty common in the small towns where I lived back then, now. If you're not seeing interracial couples it's not because of the town where you live. It's the people you run with.
interracial couples
Which bothers you more? White men with Asian women or Black guys with White women?

It annoys me that in Night of the Living Dead..after they boarded up the 1st floor..they should have taken all the important things upstairs, and then knocked out the stairs.
They had a repeater rifle, plus a shotgun & ammo for both. They should have got on the 2nd floor and remained quiet till the morning. If the corpses even made it in, Cooper would have had his basement closed and the ghouls wouldn't have been able to make it upstairs.
..and even if they did, get on the roof. They wouldn't be able to. Love that film as a top 3 favorite, but it was so full of human failure.

Most horror films are that way. Even the straight-laced kids that don't get wasted make stupid mistakes.
