^^ Don’t fret Hallowed, there’s always someone that comes along and says that she’s too good looking and wouldn’t have sex with me if I were the last man on Earth.

If I were the last man on Earth Maggie Gyllenenhalylyl wouldn’t even be allowed in line.[/quote]

If you were the last man on earth, surly you would only have sex with the most beautiful, intelligent and emotionally stable women?

Not for yourself of course, but for mankinds sake.

However, if you consider the sexual routine some Chinese emperors had to endure, maybe being the last man on earth would kind of suck.[/quote]

There was like a movie or book about that… it didn’t turn out so well for the guy…[/quote]

Actually, it did.

He mo longer had a few thousand wives that he had to impregnate in a carefully designed schedule.

I hate that thing where they go slo-mo for the beggining of the action then go super-speed right at contact.

What I mean is like in Blade or Priest or [Underworld[/i] the bad guy will leap in the air (slo-mo) then right before the hit the action will then go high-speed.

I also hate in trailers where they use a huge chorus of angels to sing as though this movie were about God himself creating the universe.

Oh ,a nd the Harry Potter trailers always have Harry looking up at the camera, wand in hand, screaming…and later Voldemort doing the same thing, usually with Harry screaming “NNNOOoooooooooo!!!”

123

Great points, Nards.

I HATE most fight scenes because the camera pans/zooms so fast to give the ILLUSION of action, but you can’t see the people involved actually fighting; fight choreography is a lost art and cheap camera tricks are the substitute.

All women have enough grip strength to hold onto a slippery metal pole indefinitely while hanging several stories up.

Lol, well done. You do alot of manips - you got any online portfolios or a deviantart account or anything?

On topic - I personally hate films which rely on character stupidity to propel the story forward. For example it’s so tiring seeing victims get the upper hand over the psychotic, life-threatening, villain but not double-tap or ensure their brains are spilling out over the floor before they run away or toss their weapon aside.

Spiderman 3 case in point.

127

No one ever reloads, ever and it drives me f**king insane.

Also, you hear a random noise in the middle of the night. Who in there right mind thinks “OMG, a noise coming from that pitch black area, it must be investigaed while wearing the worlds smallest skirt!” cause I know I dont :stuck_out_tongue:

128

Whenever a book is turned into a movie someone always makes changes just for the sake of making changes. They never improve it.

Not enough anal gaping in hollywood movies. It’s successful in porn, why can’t it be successful in the mainstream?

Probably because there are enough assholes in Hollywood

LOL. The set was so good I’d almost guess you were the same person.

When there’s a man and a woman in an action movie and the man gives her a gun and is about to ask “Do you know how to use one of those?” but he only gets the first 3 words out before she cocks it and checks the chamber and then she looks at him like “You were saying?”

133

I hate that right now, there are like 3 actors who are stars in 90% of the movies. Was Christian Bale John Connor or Batman? Is Ryan Reynold Green Lantern, Deadpool or the star of some faggy body-swap movie? Is there a shortage of actors that I’m not aware of ?

Ryan Reynolds AND Jason Bateman in the same movie?!? How can you hate on that. I already got my tickets for the midnight showing. Wanna go?

137

Horror Movies.

Now the “BLACK GUY” either dies second or second to last. Its like they’ve heard all the comedy routine from the 80’s and 90’s and intentionally script for the guy to die in that order.

Haha. Jason Bateman is cool, but Ryan Reynolds should’ve quit after Waiting. I heard roguevampire’s a huge fan. Shoot him a PM.

I’ve been waiting for this thread…

1- Female looking guy turning into the ultimate badass at the end of the movie. He couldn’t run for his life at the beginning, but in the end he can kill everyone in the room and avoid all bullets.

2- Stereotypes. Enough said.

3- Awesome character getting slayed exactly in the middle of the movie, leaving only lame characters to do lame stuff.

4- The hero always manages to dodge all attacks, even if he is being attacked by a mountain-sized monster while sporting all kinds of wounds. When someone finally manages to land a strike on the guy, he gets up uninjured.

5- Blows to the head only knock out people, unless it’s a secondary character, in that case his head will explode.

6- Guns. Enough said.

7- Invincible enemies that comes back to grab someone no matter how badly they got shot, beaten, stabbed, sawed in half, burned, exploded, etc.

8- Shootout scenes where people hide behind the car or desk or wall and that object is enough to shield them from heavy caliber machine guns or AK-47’s.

9- How the character always drops his gun/stuff and there’s a scuffle to pick it back up.

10- Main character suddenly needs to take off his shirt for no reason.

11- Beast/Monster is slayed by the hero in a brief fight with ease

12- How swords always clash against one another and the blade never breaks or dents.

13- How chainsaws work forever without needing fuel.

14- Fucked up evil low intelligence character living underground always manages to kill or overpower everyone and get slayed by female character

15- Stupid people doing stupid things in unlikely situations. When Character A sneaks away from Characters B and C to do drugs in the middle of a warzone/zombie apocalypse and gets eaten/slayed/killed.

16- Emotive teenage getting everyone in trouble for stupid reasons.

And there’s a lot more where this came from.

Ok here are my recent ones:

  1. Hollywood acting like women are competent at anything, ever, in the world. I mean seriously.

  2. Black Guys… Its like “Hellooooo!! WTF Hollywood???”

  3. Maggie Gyllenhaal NOT being cast as a sex symbol in every film. That, my friends, is a travesty and crying shame.
