In Romantic Comedies that pander to the women watching by making the female lead a successful writer for a women’s magazine and she sits in Starbucks with her Apple computer ordering coffees with long names like decaf low-fat soy latte frappaccino.

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.[/quote]

and keeping with this tangent: went to see Super 8 this weekend. Spent 14 bucks matinee, 2 people…got medium coke and popcorn 12.50 and then had to sit through 10 minutes of fucking commercials. I mean, if I want to see commercials, I’ll watch tv. It’s not like the theater chains ain’t making money.

But, but, all those people pirating movies are RUINING the movie industry! We only made $49 million profit; if those evil movie piraters hadn’t stolen from us, we would have made $49.1 million! Of course we have to jack up snack prices to make up the difference!
Seriously though, going back to the computer thing…I am in no way a computer expert, but it bugs me how in most movies, they are either using an ancient OS (early Windows), or some super-futuristic looking thing on a kid’s laptop.
When they have some really blurry pixelated surveillance video footage of some criminal, and they digitally enhance it do damn near Blu Ray quality…

When everyday computer programs have super complicated interactive interfaces and every god damn command makes sci-fi sounds.

I’m sick of dicks in movies. Enough with the dicks. All the old classics that I love from the 70’s and 80’s had tits and ass in them and No dicks.
Guys like tits, girls don’t like dicks. [/quote]
I would rather look at tits than dicks. Dicks, 99.99999999999999999% of them are ugly. Tits, 99.9999999999999999% of them are awesome to look at. Tits win every damn time.
Any cinematic portrayal of snipers. Disclaimer to the military guys: I’ll freely admit it if you tell me I’m wrong about this Perfect example: The Hurt Locker. Some random Arab sniper, using what I’ve since learned is a shitty gun and at a distance of close to 1000 meters, pulls off one doable shot followed by 2 absurd ones in succession. He’s topped by the American (who isn’t even a sniper to our knowledge), who pulls of 3 of the most ridiculous shots I’ve ever seen.
-
Vampires, at least the twilight, underworld style of sensitive vampires, the fuck people up style of vampires are still cool. The last good vampire movie to come out that im aware of was 30 days of night.
-
Slasher movies, The only good one that i can think of was the Texas chainsaw massacre and the original Halloween, most of them seem to be 1 hour and 15 minuets of banging on a window, and seem to take place in a world devoid of guns and common sense.
-
120 lb. nerdy martial artist types putting a beat down on guys twice there size.
-
Guns that never need to be reloaded.
-
Endless reps in gym scenes.
- Natural disaster movies, or for that matter basically any movie on sci-fy these days.
7.Remakes
8.Prequels a good example would be the star wars movies. First of all Darth Vader doesnt seem nearly as bad ass now after seeing him as Anakin. Bobba Fett being included just seemed forced and the character isnt nearly as cool or mysterious seeing as hes just a clone and there was a whole fucking army of him at one point.
- Cancellations or atleast rumors of them. Lately ive been hearing that Deadpool, and the Dark Tower movies have been canceled.

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.[/quote]
I hate it just as much when the bad guys die straight away from almost any bullet wound even though most would take several minutes of agony and screaming to kill you.

How could I forget this one!
It’s got to be in every movie I’ve ever seen.
I’ve yet to find a real world computer that makes these sounds

I watch a lot of movies. The last couple have been Cyrano De Bergerac, Delicatessan (again), The Twilight Samurai and 13 Assasins.
If your question is what movies I am referring to, the answer is “standard Hollywood action fare”. If you want me to be more specfic, I may rack my mind for every film I’ve seen that exhibits this concept, but I really don’t see how anyone growing up in a country with television could have a problem with what I said.
If you would like to leave the thread, do so. I was unaware of your incarceration.
In a fight scene with multiple opponents against one guy. The opponents all wait their turn instead of attacking the guy all at once.
