I’ve noticed there’s a deeper one that accompanies alien technology emerging from the ocean, and a higher-pitched “neeeaoow” that’s paired with land-based robots or vehicles. Very annoying.[/quote]
Battleship, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Wrath of the Titans all had that freaking noise, it’s not even in the fucking film, at least in Transformers that noise was sort of like the transformation noise they make.
On the subject of Wrath and Transformers I’m excited to finally have decent CGI I really am but there needs to be some gravity to the 5 ton robots, or 12 foot Titan, they run and their movements just look off I can’t explain it see here in the trailer

I’m sick of Hollywood molesting the Greek mythology. Let’s move on. Why can’t they make a bad-ass, CGI and explosion-packed take on Christian mythology? Let’s put some Manson tracks to a scene of Jesus running slow-mo through an outdoor market while Roman speers bury themselves in the sand all around him. Then, KRAU, a goat explodes, and he gets slammed into a wall. Then he gets up and we can see a mixture of anguish and determination on his face, cut to God on high furrowing his brow, mumbling “get up, get up Jesus,” real quiet like, and as the song crescendos Jesus picks himself up and we can literally feel the tension in his perfectly defined abdominal wall and quads as he launches himself through a window and evades his pursuers…or does he?[/quote]
Why the fuck did they use Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams anyway?

It makes no fucking sense.[/quote]
Song choice was a very tenuous link to the Titans. Sleeping Titans apparently have sweet dreams and like Manson.
How about a movie like Executive Decision? Commandos board hijacked plane and defuse a time bomb.
The bomb had the one of the most technologically advanced detonators …and what for? The terrorists could have just used a few sticks of dynamite and an alarm clock… did they KNOW they were going to be boarded by commandos?
I know it heightened suspense when it came time to defuse this mega-bomb, but it also didn’t make much sense.

What’s wrong with movies today? Case in point: The Vanishing. Check out the American version, then the original French version. The French version was far superior. Great, dark ending.
(no spoilers).
Why did they have to change it for American audiences? Do they think we can’t handle an ending like that? An unhappy ending wouldn’t sell?
The French ending was cool and totally appropriate. [/quote]
What annoys me the most is trying to remember which side is the US version and which is the european.
Edit:
Never mind I got Vanishing Point and The Vanishing confused.
I’m sure it’s been said…but it is 2012. If you are STILL making horror movies where the cell phone gets no reception all of a sudden after having worked perfectly up to that point, you had better either be on top of a mountain…or in third ward Houston.
I watched Commando last night and Arnold’s watch had a countdown timer that he set for 11 hours because that was how long he had to save his daughter and the thing beeped for every second! That’s going to give him away or annoy him to death pretty fast.

Well maybe they have Sprint, T-Mobile or an Iphone
Whenever a bunch of people on screen are celebrating and having a good time while the song “Celebrate Good Times Cmon” is playing at the same time. It’s like yeah these people are clearly celebrating and having a good time and all, but unfortunately you, dear viewer, are too much of a blind baboon to get that. So here’s a song to REALLY drive the point home.
^^ I just saw a few minutes of a movie on HBO with him and yeah, he’s got too big of a cleft chin and he looks to me like he should be a bit more built…but he looked quite skinny and his neck looked like it couldn’t support his big square head.

That’s it. I don’t have a problem with his acting or anything; just his fucking parody of a head.
It’s like one of those caricature drawings you get at a carnival. One of Eckhart would look like a normal person.
Why do people in movies have to shout “yee-haa!” when they drive really fast or if they’re about to make a death-defying leap across a closed bridge or a ravine?
When two people have an argument in a car, why does the passenger always end up getting out of the car and walking along the roadside while the person at the wheel drives alongside trying to convince them to get back in?

I’m sure it was already mentioned, but the way people drive in movies is psychopathic. They turn the wheel back and forth constantly, and they keep looking over at the guy they’re talking to.
Shit’s crazy.
Not to mention, whenever the badass protagonist throws his cigarette butt out the window, it never blows back in a lights shit on fire. This happens a good thirty percent of the time in real life.
unsure if this has been mentioned (i’ve only read about half the thread)
but it really pisses me off when the hero dislocates his shoulder or knee… and then someone just “pops” it back into place and its as good as new. no ligament damage or anything. Man i dislocated my shoulder once it took me like 6 weeks to recover from that shit. same with spraining my acl.
other thing that pisses me off is when super strong bad guys try to kill the main (much weaker) character by throwing them through glass. I mean a terminator could punch right through your heart or squeeze your neck until your head pops off, but instead they got to throw you at stuff hoping that if they do it 1000 times it might eventually kill you.

or the end of Bad Boys where Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were walking around fine after getting both kneecaps shot out.
