Damn you Greg!
May a midget boxer use your nutsack as a speed bag.
But you’d probably enjoy that.

Line was made up on the spot too, made him even more bad ass.

Walking away explosion: Hero lights fuse or spilled gas/presses button/allows timer to rundown on bomb, etc. while walking away. Concussive force of explosion 100 feet behind him doesn’t cause him to so much as flinch. Or even ruffle his hair. Walking away will always preceded by a hero quip.

Bad guy is beating the shit out of hero.
Bad guy makes the fatal mistake of saying “After I’m done with you I’m going to go after your pretty little wife/girlfriend/daughter/dog”.
Hero immediately becomes an uber badass and effortlessly defeats villain.
When some scary noise happens behind someone they never turn around fast like we do in real life…they always turn slowly like they don’t want to wake up the horrible thing they’ve already woken up.
The way any bomb in a film has a timer that conveniently tells the hero how much time is left untill the bomb explodes, and how the bomb is always stopped with 1 second to go.
Sick of seeing martial arts moves on characters you wouldn’t expect it from… like cartoon characters.
In Marvel and DC and the like… when a normal strength human (or mutant for that matter), goes head to head in a fist fight against a superhero that can bench press 10 tons. Like spidey vs kingpin. BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME!
Phew, I feel better. Been bottling that up since I was 11 years old.

This wound me up in Spider-Man 2… Doc Ock is basically a normal human with robot arms, Spidey gives him multiple straight shots to the face and he just keeps right on going…despite the fact that one of his punches at full power could pancake a normal person’s head.
To all the guys hatin’ on “cool guys walkin’ away from explosions”…at least Will Ferrell gets it!

Yeah! It happens in all the superherp movies…so long as you’re in a superhero movie you will be able to withstand huge impacts and falls even if your superpower is only telepathy or laser sight.
hhmmmm okay well I am sick of seeing all the gore in the new movies. I kinda hate the gore in “Saw” and all those kinda movies.
I really do like horror movies. If you have seen the original “When a Stranger Calls”, “Halloween”, and even the sequel to “when a stranger calls.” Those are all scary movies with no gore. Not a lot of gore in an respect.

As someone who is a gore fan, I actually have to agree here. The problem is they’ve tried to take gore mainstream, and I can’t think of any examples where it has worked. The best horror films scare you at a deeper level and haunt you for days after seeing them without all the gore. I enjoy B film gore fests, and I think that’s where the gore belongs–gathering a small cult following and not disguising itself as something else other than a gory fun time.

I also hate it when the timer says 10 sec and the scene goes on for another 5 minutes
I hated the end of predators when Adrian Brophy killed the last predator.These are meant to be uber efficient, intelligent killing machines. Brophy baits the predator into a circle of fire which flares up its infrared lens making it useless.
He then runs back and forth about 5 times at different angles taking swipes at the predator with a hatchet. You think the predator would wise up after the first shot,take the mask off then rip the guys throat out when he trys another charge. Ha this movie was so bad I rooted for the predator.

I always rooted for the predators. 
I’m sick of style over substance.
James Bond has mad skills in everything and all that but if he’s sleeping with a woman she has the ability to wake up before him and put on one of his shirts and cook a hot breakfast without him waking up.
If a cop is at a hot dog stand in New York he will get one bite before having to throw it away to chase a bad guy.

Thank you for this thread.
I hate when movies use shitty old slogans from old commercials that weren’t even funny the first time…like “Don’t leave home with out it!” or “Reach out and touch someone.”
Also “Now THAT’S what I call a ________!” has never been funny.
