I hope the movie Haywire is decent. Someone mentioned earlier the movie Salt. A one hundred and ten pound female scarecrow can’t kick a three hundred pound trained killer across a room and through a door, or three for that matter. Even in make believe hollywood I want some realism. The fight scenes in the trailer for Haywire look great but maybe it’s because the actress was a pro fighter and knows how to make it look more realistic.
Angelina should stop making action movies except Lara Croft, stick to dramatic roles(she’s a good actress) and just show us her tits before she gets to old.

She has shown her titties before. On the movie ‘Hackers’ before she was somebody.[/quote]
She also did that movie for HBO where she is playing some runway model. [/quote]

In a movie when a character is playing basketball alone or some other sport and they do their own play-by-play out loud.
Like the guy is playing basketball in his driveway but he says “Worthy passes to Bird, Bird dribbles, passes back to Worth, Worthy shoots…nothin’ but net! And the crowd goes wild!”
He then makes that loud crowd roaring noise.[/quote]
You’ve been coming up with some great ones lately, Nards.
After reading through this thread, I have no desire to see another movie again in my life. [/quote]
Thanks. I’ve looking at movies and TV shows a little more carefully so I can catch the littler things that haven’t been mentioned.
This one is specific to Star Trek movies and the news about them before they come out.
For each movie (and there’s another one coming late in Summer 2013) the TV will say “The next Star Trek movie will be beaming into a theater in your galaxy this Summer!”
Quote me they will do this next year for the new movie.
I included this screenshot form a great movie, Unbreakable to show another one I hate: Showing people collapse to the floor to try to emphasize the emotional turmoil they’re going through. It just seems like something you’d see in a music video for 15 year-old girls.
The absolute worst is when rain or a shower is used too, as the character returns home from some dramatic event and collapses in the shower. Yes, I know, the shower is symbolic of tears or a baptism they’ve now gone through whatever I hate it.
I just watched Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, which wasn’t bad, but it reminded me how much I hate these stupid non sequitor things at the end of horror movies.
Like at the end of Paranormal Activity where the girl gets that stupid demon face.
It’s always the same gag. Stupid little horror cracker jack prize that makes no sense except to elicit some sort of ‘last gasp HUH?’ reaction from the audience, then smash cut to black. It’s fucking stupid and ruins movies.

Nards, have you ever seen the movie Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon? It’s horror film which talks about and parodies all these cliches. Funny movie.
I liked zombieland for this reason; they kind of just acknowledged the stereotypes.
One of the things that really gets to me is the scenes where a car or person dives into water from a really high altitude, like in fast five where Diesel and Walker did it. At that height you’re dead; the water it like cement. Also when people go into water in their car, and they manage to open the door. You would need inhuman strength to actually do that.

This may have been mentioned before, but so many movies will telegraph who will get killed in any fight.
Small guy fights big guy=big guy dies (1st 5min of Troy)
Protagonist fights 3 armed thugs=thugs die (too many to name)
105lb woman with some martial arts training vs literally anyone= 105lb woman wins without a scratch (Salt)
Primitive warrior fights technologically superior foe= wooden spears will pierce metal (Avatar)
If a bad guy has a crew and none of them are named or given attention, they will all die.
Also, if you’re in a movie getting your ass kicked you should always do this: Close your eyes and remember something really important to you and have a flashback. Then discover newfound superhuman strength (because you weren’t going 100% when the fight started). Best example: Matrix vs. Bennett in Commando. [/quote]
This reminds me; you should watch Game of Thrones.
Absolutely RUTHLESS show. Full of twists and turns, but cold cut and schocking. Don’t expect any sugar coating or formulaic hollywood stories.[/quote]
Sounds sweet, everyone tells me that show is awesome.
Another thing about movie bullshit is that we can accept ONE MIRACLE EXEMPTION. Most of us like superhero movies. We can accept that a guy gained superpowers from gamma radiation or a mutated spider or a magic spell. But once you use the miracle exemption, everything else has to make sense or else you make a shitty movie.
Case in point: Superman Returns. The audience accepts that Superman can do pretty much anything, and is vulnerable to kryptonite. So…lets have him pick up a giant rock made of kyrptonite? How these decisions get made is beyond me. Movies have to set rules and play by those rules.

How about the scene in the new Death Race where Jason Statham rolls out of a speeding car driving at full speed and does not get injured at all.
Hey, I’m all for suspension of belief, but hell that’s pushing it.
Movie monsters with normal-sized mouths which stretch to ridiculous lengths for a cheap scare (e.g. The Mummy, Van Helsing).
Prologues that feature a blemish-free, vain villain who gets scarred by a child who grows up to be the protagonist. Movie usually ends with the villain recognizing the child and a fight ensues with the villain seeking revenge for his ruined looks and the hero seeking revenge for the death of his family (who were killed in the prologue by the villain).
All the guys have to pretend to be just as disturbed as the chicks who are watching and that the nudity isn’t even the slightest bit arousing because of the context. Give me a break. This is the new way to make a movie controversial.
