I'm watching geostorm atm.
Inventor of thing gets fired. Thing goes wrong and threatens the earth. Inventor is asked to sort it out and ultimately saves the day.

He was fired by his brother after being treated like shit at a hearing.

If that was me, I would of course ultimately fix the thing because I don't want to die. Obviously. But I wouldn't just say ok and go do it.

I would say my terms are reassemble that hearing and have the man that was so rude to me publicly grovel, say I was right about everything, plead with me to help then he gets fired. THEN I go fix it.

Horror films - go help the person who's been a twat to you and get killed for your trouble. Fuck that.

Have the chance to kill the baddie and ... Don't. Seriously? You get the chance to shoot him between the eyes you take it. You don't hit him with the gun, drop it next to him and turn away. That's stupid.

YANBU. Movies are really unrealistic and people just would not behave like that.

YABU and really, there's something fucking wrong with you. You should probably get help for that.

Pregnant women always waddle and hold on to their bellies as if they're afraid they might fall off.

They even say the weirdest stuff as well. Who talks like that? Or don’t say anything when just a sentence would clear everything up.
If I’ve shouted at the tv once ‘ just tell him bollocks’ I’ve shouted a hundred times.

Movies couples always seem to have a photo of them kissing or looking adoringly into each other's eyes that, looking at the angle, would have been taken by a 3rd person (i.e. not a selfie) - who the fuck takes photos like that of their friends unless it's their wedding day?

Also (although this is TV not film) , couples having loads of home videos of them doing mundane stuff that no one would normally bother filming looking at you Afterlife

People always live in spotless, spacious, chic homes that they could never afford in real life

Yes! This always really annoys me about Amelie - she's a waitress, why does she have her own chic Montmartre apartment?

Also in the film This Year's Love there was someone who worked as a cleaner at Heathrow and came home to her own lovely central London flat. FFS.

One of the things I like about the romcom The Goodbye Girl is that the two protagonists are fairly average looking and the apartment the woman's ex has sublet to the man is a bit poky and could do with redecorating.

@IcedPurple

Has there ever been a crime drama where the lead detective has not been taken off the case by a stroppy superior at least once?

In doomsday scenario films people are driving against the flow of traffic to reach loved ones - as opposed to frantically driving towards Lidl to wrestle for the last toilet roll 😂

People always have red wine, perfectly matched crockery and full table settings even for an ordinary everyday family dinner. They are usually eating spaghetti, which they serve with long tongs from wooden bowls.

And now someone is going to come on to say that in their house, they always have matching crockery and full table settings every evening!

Also whenever the protagonist is faced with a group of enemies, they will always fight him one at a time instead of all piling straight in and pummelling him to the ground.
