Things that annoy you on films.....

[LoudestRoar]

and other questions...

I'm watching Moana for the 100th time
Why doesn't she get cold at night, or when she falls into the water?

A action movie with chase scene..they always run up steps/ stairs..get themselves trapped on a roof..why would you enter a building and go upwards....

Giving birth in a film, couple of pushes, and they're out! (I know this does happen, but more often than not, you have hours of hanging around!)

Arty mumbling. What the hell is the point of being all naturalistic and everything when you haven't a clue what they're going on about? (And intrusive music at the same time may just make me throw the telly out of the window, or at least break the DVD.)

Oh yes, the mumbling! And the speaking through the teeth, without opening their mouths. They all do it these days, no actors seem to learn to speak properly any more.

I really notice the difference when I watch old episodes of ST:TNG and don't have to strain my ears to understand what Patrick Stewart is saying.

The type of action adventure films that involve lots of running away from bombs, monsters etc, where the hero has a woman in tow..& said woman is forever screaming or arguing or making wisecracks. As if you'd do all that with imminent death staring you in the face, you'd shut your mouth save your breath and run like mad (or freeze).

& at the end she's all coy, he is smirky, they get kissy and go off into the sunset. Trauma-free and smiley as the supernatural or terrorist shit hasn't phased them at all. Of course.

All's well due to Mr Brawn & Brains, despite the love interest being "a bit silly". God forbid a woman should be depicted as brave and practical

It's a worn-out formula

The whole running through an airport to catch up with the love of your life after realising you’ve been a twat scene.

The way make up remains flawless regardless of weather or sweat.

The fact people have sex when they’d undoubtedly stink like literal shit given the circumstances.

That women always manage to run away from danger in their 6 inch heels (Bryce Dallas Howard and Jurassic Park I'm looking at you!). Take your shoes off

When the background music is so loud you can't hear what they are saying.

Why doesn't anybody catch their pocket on a drawer?

Anything set in earlier times where the actors all have tons of make up on, and perfect neon white teeth. Even in the 80s teeth weren't like that.

Women always find out they are pregnant by vomiting. Never ever by missing a period. 9 months later labour always starts with the womans waters breaking at an inopportune moment.

When a space craft reaches a new planet and think that the place they land on is indicative of the rest of the planet. When in actual fact, another part of the planet might be a lot different.

Stringofpearls or a poo. Or a snack.

The fact people have sex when they’d undoubtedly stink like literal shit given the circumstances.

THIS! I went to see A Star is Born. Bradley Cooper had had a full on drugs and booze bender and been put to bed, unconscious by his brother.
Next morning, Lady Gaga wanders in and wakes him up. Then they immediately have a shag.
Made me literally heave.....
(Obviously the actual Bradley Cooper would probably have been as fragrant and inviting as a dew covered flower for filming but the character would have had to have been MINGING at that point)

Everyone wakes up after sex and have put all their underwear back on. Men do not put their boxers on after and what kind of sex are you having without taking your bra off ffs

Nobody ever has a placenta or umbilical cord.
If someone has a torch it's one of those tiny beamed ones and they still can't see anything.
Nobody breaks a limb falling out of windows/trains.

Bras under nightclothes, always. Gah!

Horses whinnying and fucking galloping everywhere.

Get the noisy bastard in the National. Nothing can gallop from the White Cliffs of Dover to bloody Sherwood Forest.

so much.

The whole cast being young.
Stereotypical characters with no depth

• single people are always shown living in drab rooms in silence

• fat people are always jolly

Plot lines forgotten about Nobody ever goes to the loo Everyone speaks with an American/Canadian accent Nobody switches the lights on/gets a torch/uses their phone light when they hear a noise & go to investigate

God, there are so many.

It’s not just common or garden mumbling these days is it? there’s a big trend for “emotional whispering” that goes on for ages.

When the plants are wrong for the historical period, or season, or geographical location.

Leaving their shoes on and sticking their feet up on sofas or beds with them on 😩 CAN'T. COPE.

I hate to be difficult but I’m currently sitting in our curtain/blind free living room and the front door is unlocked.

We live in a very quiet cul de sac and the door is only locked when we go to bed. I accept this wasn’t our approach when we lived in the city.

Having time/energy/inclination to meet up for coffee/breakfast in a cafe before work.

The fact that in the Bridget Jones film her boyfriend is played by Colin Firth whereas in the book she has a massive crush on Mr Darcy played by Colin Firth and I think of all the people to play her boyfriend why choose him when in the book she fancies him on the telly. Why? Why?

The cop is always estranged from his wife and child, and stays behind at the station, working into the night with a lamp on, cracking the case.
