Scenes in films that are so illogical it really grates.

[Yetmorebeanstocount]

Eat Pray Love.
The two women have just discussed eating, muffin-tops, body image, etc, and Julia Roberts says to enjoy the pizza and just buy bigger jeans.

So in the next scene they are buying jeans, but doing that stereotypical-joke thing of lying on the changing room floor trying to pull up the zip on too-tight jeans.
Why? - that totally defeats the object.

I guess the male writer/director thought it would be a fun scene, that is how he imagines women always shop for jeans.
It just makes no sense in the context of the film.

What scenes really annoy you?

Remember Gillian Anderson with her lovely white silk shirts, stiletto heels and flawless hair and make up, traipsing all over crime scenes in 'The Fall'?

Not a film but Coronation Street. The street is completely devoid of parked cars - you never see a street like that in real life.

Then when a character needs to drive somewhere, their car miraculously appears in the street.

It's been a while, but I remember when Demelza had her first baby in Poldark, that never seemed to feed or cry (in fact was barely seen) and didn't seem to impede her life in any way - or her figure. When it was only weeks old she walked to and spent the day at the market town presumably having left it with the older servants that had been portrayed as a bit shifty and useless (and definitely not able to breastfeed!).

It also never rained - in Cornwall!

Surely he performed Caesarian Section?

It's always annoyed me that Lumière from Beauty and The Beast is the only one with a French accent when the whole thing is set in France.

Bit shoot 'em up type scenes where a massive gun fight goes on for minutes, with chunks of masonry flying off and holes everywhere, but no-one (or not many) seems to actually get shot.

Rewatched some of the Raiders films over Xmas for nostalgia and to show teen DC what we grew up with.

In one handsome Harrison says to the blonde female as they are escaping (car chase) hold my gun. She grabs the barrel "hot" end, juggles it out the window then says "I broke a nail" as if that's the important thing when you're being shot at.

Honestly I went on such a feminist rant at this point about it that DH had to get me a triple Baileys to calm down.

Aaaargh!

Musicals make me cringe so much! People singing at each other instead of talking. Makes me feel physically ill.

In Yellowstone Rip has Brown eyes, but young Rip has startling Blue eyes.
That just broke the illusion that did.

Any scene where people get shot in the arm or leg, wince and carry on. Gunshot wounds don't happen like that. For starters arms and legs have arteries in them. Sever one of those and you will be bleeding to death.

The way baby Hollie is conveniently shunted somewhere unexplained in Breaking Bad, when they are all at the hospital with Hank. No one even mentions her. Plus the poor child is hardly ever out of her car seat.

When a female character thinks there is an intruder in their home and wanders around saying "hello?" like Demi More in Ghost when she believes she is home alone but hears a noise downstairs.

Years ago, I returned home disturbing burglars, I backed the fuck out and rang the police, I didn't wander around saying "hello??"

In one handsome Harrison says to the blonde female as they are escaping (car chase) hold my gun. She grabs the barrel "hot" end, juggles it out the window then says "I broke a nail" as if that's the important thing when you're being shot at.
Tbf, Willie Scott is supposed to be a self-absorbed princessy type. Which isn’t very feminist, I agree but being useless with a gun does fit with her character. The Temple Of Doom takes place chronologically before Raiders Of The Lost Ark, where Indy meets up with Marion again. Why Marion ever settles for him in the end was a mystery to me even at 14 years old. I’d have stayed in that remote bar drinking men under the table myself.

John Wick 4. Absolutely brilliant
film, but there's no way he could survive falling down those steps in Paris after being shot. Not to mention all the other hideous injuries he just walks away from 🤣

Yup. Drives me insane.

Pretty sure any self respecting copper who has to examine crime scenes, aint doing it like she's dressed for a night out.

LOL. Tough audience. Yes she gets captured, but not benignly as she twats some henchmen with a frying pan first. She also knocks out the Nazi pilot, machine guns the truck full of more Nazis, punches Indy and tries to at least plot an escape by drinking Belloq under the table. For 1981 it was a step in the right direction before they regressed with Kate Capshaw in Temple who was just useless and annoying.

I can't remember the name of the programme (not film, sorry) but that Armitige man was in it, having an affair with his soon to be daughter in law. The sex was straight in and brief but she was in raptures. It doesn't really help men to understand womens sexual pleasure does it.
Also, on the Armitige man, Fool me once, absolutely laughable and ridiculous. The way that Michelle Keegan engaged with her child was just so unrealistic, life with a kid isn't 'put cartoons on the ipad' job done. That series was SOO bad, sure there's more I could say on it, predictable nonsense.

Any film or show that has people puffing their cheeks out while playing a brass instrument. If you’re doing that, you’re doing it wrong.

My personal bugbear aside from clearly empty coffee cups is scene transition dialogue. So characters are in place A when one asks “What’s Evil Chemical Industries PLC?” then the action cuts to them climbing out of the car at Evil Chemical Industries PLC building with the other character answering “You’re about to find out”, or whatever. Did they not speak on the journey over?! I understand it from a screenwriting perspective, but from a “how humans behave” perspective it’s nonsense.

Mind you, Gillian seemed to spend a significant part of her time on the job picking up hot young minions, so maybe the stilettos and artfully tousled hair were appropriate?

If we're talking about Titanic, how about Rose not budging over on the fucking floating door and just letting Jack freeze to death? Move over you stupid cow.

Or that Molly Brown's son just HAPPENS to be the exact same size as Jack, and the tuxedo fits him as if it were tailor made?

Or that the diamond stays snugly in the pocket of the coat all the time despite chasing each other all over a sinking ship?

Or Rose, after being rescued by Jack from her half hearted suicide attempt, just lets him be practically arrested and beaten up by the men, and sits there without saying a word apparently having had time to wrap a blanket around herself and be comforted by the other people? Yeah Rose, don't say a word, let your rescuer be accused of rape before piping up that he was actually trying to save you!

Agree with everyone who has said everything about telephone calls - rudeness of just hanging up and "can we meet?" "Yes""Great ill see you tomorrow!" Where? When? What if tomorrow isn't great for me actually?

Also walking into pubs, saying "pint" and bar person just pouring it - no "pint of what exactly mate? Ale? Stout? Cider? Coke?'

Also obviously American phrases said by British(pseudo british) characters - I always remember Robb Stark saying "I'll write you" to Talisa - why didn't the actor just say "this sounds weird when every other part of my dialect and accent is British, ill add a "to" in there"

Oh yes @turbonerd films where a character is shown at different ages but looks totally different. Annoyed me in The Notebook where blond blue eyed Ryan Gosling turns into brown eyed James Garner well known for being dark haired (although grey in film).

Also people in TV shows (mainly soaps) who never seem to have their children with them. There's a big 'having a baby' storyline, and then said child is not seen on screen for more than 5 minutes until 16 years later. Parents able to go about their lives, pop to the cafe or pub several times a day, all sorts of stuff without ever needing to wonder "where is my child"!

Cloverfield Paradox - highly skilled crew on international space station includes a woman who does not speak any English, while everyone else speaks English all the time.
