Things I'm Sick Of In Movies

Taking into account what has been said about gunshots in this thread, then I say that, if you’re John McLane, you’re immortal.

I also like how in every movie people have superhuman strength and can carry stuff that we wouldn’t be able to carry 100 feet in real life, like when people shoot mini guns from the hip and sprint with it, or the famous Mad Max scene, were he carries 20 gallons of gasoline on his back through a fucking desert.

The main character is finally telling his boss off/telling his secret love that he loves her or something like that and the camera pulls back to show that he was talking to himself in the mirror. Fuck that!

No, no! Bond INTENTIONALLY stays “asleep”… just so the woman will rise before he does and cook him a hot breakfast.

Plots driven entirely by coincidence. This was once called irony, and it worked well in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. HOWEVER, when it’s being used in place of cohesive plot and character development, you can choke on it.

If you watch the DVD extras about the making of the movie all the actors ever say is that “It’s great to work with ____" and " brings so much to the table” and that the director is a real “actor’s director”

Trying to trace a bad guy’s telephone call NEVER EVER EVER FUCKING WORKS! Don’t even fucking put this shit in the movie next time please!

  1. If you drive full speed at a concrete barrier, you can jump it.

No, it was fine in Dukes of hazard, it isn’t okay in a big budget movie.

  1. You can get in a shootout, blast through 3 clips of ammo (without reloading) and then whisper to your partner.

No, go fire a few rounds with a decent caliber handgun without ear plugs and let me know how long your ears ring. Oh, and a gun with a “silencer” is still loud, people aren’t going to sleep through it.[/quote]

  1. Along the same lines, why don’t people where hearing protection in helicopters. I fly in a chopper 2-4 times a month. When the engines start cranking up I’m grabbing the earmuffs. The helicopter scenes are ridiculous. The pilots have on their head sets. The extras in the scenes have on earmuffs. The important people, the actors with lines? No hearing protection ever even though they are sitting next to a guy with a headset on.

  2. Bullet pass through. Never mind the bullet is passing thru both sides of the rib cage, scapula, organs, and tissue, or that bullet deformation should reduce the likelihood of pass thru. How many movies have you seen where the villain is shot from behind? The camera catches the burst of blood and cloth, but never the bullet is seen. Nobody else in the scene was struck down this errant round. Where did it go?

How heroes cock their pistol every time they intend to intimidate someone, like they actually mean to kill them. Also, how they cock their pistol before walking through every door, often when there is no actual discharge between walking through said doors and they would, in fact, be re-cocking a pistol that has already been cocked, defying the rules of firearms and common sense far more than my Hollywood-addled consciousness is accustomed to accepting.

Also, who cocks a shotgun? The fuck.

There’s too much cock in Hollywood.

I hate credits.

This doesn’t bother me if the strippers are actually naked and we get to see some nipples (female). But I fucking hate when they walk into a strip club and the women aren’t at least topless. Why the fuck would you choose to write a scene in a strip club into your movie if you know it’ll be rated pg-13 or you have an actress who would never appear naked and you’ll be forced to water the whole scene down as a result.

Why not move the whole scenario into a shithole bar instead? And what’s up with R-rated movies that don’t show some tits and ass when they have the chance? The Town? Blake Lively? She should have been naked as fuck when she was riding Ben Affleck’s half-flaccid cock in that movie, and if she doesn’t want to do it all the director needs to do is remind her that before she was cast in this film, no one know who the fuck you are, you stupid bitch! So take off your goddamned clothes right the fuck now or you’ll never get a job in this Godforsaken town again!

I hate it when someone in a movie does a zercher squat and DOESN’T instantly blow out a bicep.

Damn you Hollywood.

I know a guy who writes a weekly blog about this very thing. He’s a cock blogger.

HAH! Good one, Iron Dwarf.
