If i remember correct, it was actually filmed partially in Norway, but they did not bother doing any research. Trondheim is a city, not a fucking name!

I hate it when they somehow force a character it the movie to say the movies name.

I hate bad soundtracks, and reuse of soundtracks. How many trailers with the requiem for a dream soundtrack do i have to watch?! Buy a fucking Two Steps From Hell or Xraydog track!

And as previously stated, i hate when the movie trailer shows every single one liner, gunshot and explosion! And if the trailer is waaay to long, i find that it usually means the movie is crap, has a slow and uninteresting plot, etc

I HATE that they don’t make comedies anymore! Whats whit all this awkward shit passing as comedy? Ben Stiller ruined everything with his torrent of sequels and prequels to meet the night at the fockers.

Russell Crowe(He’s a New Zealander BTW)

Mel Gibson(He’s American BTW)

Oh come now, you can’t steal Russ from us and then disown him. He’s one of you now, for better or worse.

And little Mel is still an Aussie at heart.

Reckon, Crowe is all yours now and you’re welcome to him.

I think it’s cool that there are some leading ladies in hollywood that don’t look like underwear models. Tilda Swinton comes to mind.

My distaste for movies these days can be summed up in one word: predictability.

Tilda Swinton may not be a underwear moder, buy she has quite an intense and unique look. She doesn’t need to look like an underwear model, when she looks so scary :stuck_out_tongue:

Nicholas Cage.

… and Morgan Freeman.

I’m sick to my stomach every time I see this before a film title “Tyler Perry’s…”

Someone either has to put that guy out of his misery or not allow black people into a movie theatre so his movies stop selling tickets.

It always annoys me (in films AND tv shows) when someone enters a house and “absentmindedly” leaves the front door open. Same with the fridge. Yet moments earlier, no matter how dire the situation, they managed to make the effort to slam their car door shut as they exited.

I’m sick of Hollywood getting English accents wrong, especially the Norwegian one, which is always so overdone that it makes me embarrassed that someone might think that I speak like that.

I also still vividly remember an episode of The X-files that took place in Northern Norway. In one or two scenes there was supposed to be Norwegians speaking Norwegian, but instead of hiring a couple of Norwegian actors to this simple job, they invented their own completely incomprehensible mock Norwegian. They spoke about as Norwegian as the Swedish cook spoke Swedish in the Muppet Show back in the seventies. I also seem to recall that the “Norwegian” fishermen looked like a cross bewtween cavemen and hobos, because of course you can’t possibly look like a normal person and work on a fishing boat. I found that incredibly disrespectful, and I’ve been wondering ever since if they do this with other peoples and languages I don’t understand as well.[/quote]

Hollywood does Aussie accents SO bad, they can’t get people with real Australian accents to play minor roles?

On the commedy note, the worst movie I have seen in a long time was “Just Go With It” one of the few movies I didnt even watch past halfway.

I hate it when they have unnecessary flashbacks to obvious thing any idiot would remember, and when they have a character overly explain some simple fucking plot, just to make sure the one retard watching the movie will get it too…

  1. Kiwis have SCV(Special Category Visa) access to Australia so they come, go and bludge here as they like. We didn’t steal Russ. He was just lucky enough to escape from NZ.

  2. Mel is an American and crazier than a shithouse rat.

  3. Steve was borderline retarded so you can’t really judge him by normal standards. All countries have mental defectives. Some of ours just happen to like mounting salt water crocodiles and taunting venomous snakes.

A no returns policy eh? That doesn’t make him Australian.

Obnoxious product placement just about kills the movie for me. The worst was I Robot, when Will Smiths character gets his “vintage” shoes delivered. Vintage 2004? why that’s’ right now!!! I could go out and buy those shoes.

Almost every movie is guilty of assuming we don’t know what a Pepsi/Coke looks like, I don’t think the scene has to track the can with the label conveniently facing and unobstructed for us to remember the familiar blue of a Pepsi can.

A second thing I hate is when the writers have a character deliver catchphrases and slang just for the sake of appearing hip, at the expense of believable dialogue.

You are a mean petty little man.

Also, why are you wasting a Saturday night looking at pics of me in my profile? Why don’t you go out and try scoring with some pretty ladies? It should be easy to get a dozen or so as your standards are low right?

I hate it when the characters step out of the shower without rinsing off the soap. Who the hell does that? It’s such an easy thing to make more realistic.

I also hate when someone takes a bullet in the shoulder and groans that it’s just a flesh wound. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy would realize that the pain would be almost unbearable. Even banging up your rotator cuff benching is not exactly a minor annoyance.

While sad cartoon turtle isn’t the ugliest woman on earth, she’s probably one of the ugliest leading ladies ever.

Context is important. That’s why commercials would compare a Mustang with a Camaro, and not a Veyron or Mclaren.

Edit

I’m sick of shotguns in movies. At no point do they ever get them done correctly, someone will breach a house, run around and finally find a guy, and THEN chamber a shell for dramatic effect?

In fact, all guns in general in the movies. If you haven’t shot a full auto weapon before, most of them take 3 seconds to drain a magazine.
