Annoying Movie Cliches.

[hefdaddy42]

It's happened before. *shrugs*

Not really.  What normally happens is people getting banned for expressing their opinion in ways that are not conducive to maintaining a great discussion forum.

I got another one:

When the boss comes along and butts into the coworkers' conversation making all sense and shit. So annoying.

[Kotowboy]

When people sit bolt upright in bed after a nightmare.


Whenever i've had a nightmare - i've just opened my eyes still lying down.

I need examples

Same for me, 99% of the time. I actually have had a nightmare that was bad enough and felt real enough that I sat straight up after waking.

[Accelerando]

My buddy and I were talking, and he pointed out something to me that I never really noticed: people don't finish their meals or drinks. Now that I think about it, 95% of the time where characters are talking in at home or in a restaurant that as soon as the expository dialogue is completed, they will get up and leave without finishing their meal. And in some situations, a character leaves another character just sitting. What, is it expected that they pay the bill? 

[orcus116]

Sometimes they place an order and then get up and leave before the waiter comes back.

People crawling through air ducts to get around secretly in a building is one of my biggest pet peeves. Rarely would vents be large enough to fit a person and even if they were, they would be unlikely to hold the weight of a person. And they would probably be really dusty and dirty instead of spotless.

[Zook]

Well, John McClane went into an air duct with a white wife beater on, and came out with a brown one.

They did that on mythbusters - you basically make an ungodly noise clambering around inside those and you would simply alert everyone to your presence.

And RE : eating in films & TV.

The one I hate is when people have a full plate of food and it's like a ten minute scene and they're arranging their food for the entire ten minutes -

- with no food ever being forked or ever getting anywhere near mouth. That drives me crazy.

[orcus116]

Probably because the food they serve there is old and nasty by the time they get done wrapping the scene with multiple takes and such.

A few times I actually have woken up with a scream and sat upright. I think it was probably more medically related than dream related though, as I don't even recall dreaming at the time. But since then, it hasn't seemed quite as cliche.

I've seen it.  With some people it's actually pretty common, whether they're having a nightmare or not. 

[ThatOneGuy2112]

As far as I remember, I've only jumped out of my bed once from an unpleasant dream. And by jumped I do literally mean jumped, flipping over onto the floor. It was weird.

For the most part, my eyes just pop open if it's really that bad. The most I see happen with other people is them jolting their bodies in place a bit.

[The King in Crimson]

I once woke up to me punching my pillow because I had a dream of something crawling over my face and that I had it trapped on my pillow. I was really confused once my sleep-addled mind finally caught on to what I was doing. Easily the weirdest sleep-related phenomenon that's ever happened to me.

[Lucien]

I'm trying to recall a scary-ass dream I had that caused my to bolt up like in a movie, but I don't remember what it was. 

Thunder generally makes me get up if it's loud enough, though I normally sleep through it. It has to be really loud.

[Dream Team]

Came here to post this :


Movie posters where someone has a shadow that tells you who they're ultimately going to become.

You mean like the Star Wars ep 1 poster? I don't actually know of any other examples, so I didn't know that was a thing. Movie posters have a lot of bad cliches of their own.

[Super Dude]

1. That technology is bad;
2. That ordinary Joes are always the good guys;
3. Smart people are evil;
4. People with British accents are evil;
5. "Drop your weapons or I'll shoot her." *Hero drops his weapon*

I could go on.

I don't mind #4, tbh

I agree! 10 minutes of forkplay with no actual forking... that drives me crazy too.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Slow motion when it's not necessary.

[The King in Crimson]

Slow motion when it's not necessary. Peter Jackson and Zack Snyder

FIFY

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Yeah I was just about to mention Zack Snyder

[Zantera]

hey now, zack snyder is the visual mastermind and creative genius who brought us such masterpieces as sucker punch and man of steel...

i almost made it through that sentence with a straight face

It's called continuity! If they were eating too much throughout the scene, then the complaint would be that food is magically appearing and disappearing throughout the scene. Unless they can do it in one take, it just makes editing harder.

[Kotowboy]

I know WHY they do it. But in the scene it almost looks as bad when nobody eats *anything*. Just set a massive dialogue heavy scene somewhere other than a dinner table. 😝

I like Man of Steel :shrug:

[Kotowboy]

It's just Transformers with Superman characters dumped in it.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I thought Man Of Steel was reasonably entertaining for the most part, but it was a bit too long.

[Tom Bombadil]

I love Watchmen. It's one of my favorite movies, but I agree I don't like anything else he's done.

[Theme Dreater]

What things in movies drive you up the wall every time they happen ?

For a kick off -

When someone is driving and listening to music and their favourite song comes on and they go f---ing mental. Air guitar - air drums singing really loud - headbanging - miming the words...

People don't do that !! It's just a song ! Calm down !

I do that at least 3 times a day...

[Kotowboy]

It started off so well but the last 40 minutes just blew it.

The last 40 minutes was my favorite part.

[The King in Crimson]

I don't think Man of Steel was as bad as a lot of people were saying, but it does get really, mind-numbingly monotonous after a while.
