Things that annoy you in movies.

[Pultost]

So, what annoys you in movies? For me (and I'm sure I'll come up with more later) it's when someone who's trying to escape a house just slam their hands on the door, and don't even touch the door knob.

Your turn. Amuse me. :cool:

[Spooky_Eli]

In a horror movie when being chased by a monster in some random location:

Villige idiot- "We should split up."
Rare and surely soon to be dead smart person- "why?"
villige idiot- "because dumbass, reasons. DuH."

or something to that effect.

[Cassius16]

When they overly explain what is happening, when they always want to split up to investigate (bad idea), and when the main character always has a love interest.

Good one. I'm more annoyed though, when they're all about "we should stick together", but split up anyway.

[Spooky_Eli]

That gets me too, i mean, if they get split up and its not in there control, fair enough, but when they just wander off like morons- ugh

[Caycedilla]

Probably the same thing that annoys me with books and television shows, and that’s forced (shoehorned) relationships that take away from an ongoing or overall story. Couples who are together for the sake of having love (and an excuse for lazy writing). Not every story needs it.

Yea or they are running from the killer and decide to run UPSTAIRS. :P there was a tv commerial aired not long ago, and they were making fun. The teens were running and one was like "quick lets hide behind those chainsaws!!!!" :lol3:

[ska8er]

Im going in a different direction.
People who cant keep hands
off of their cells. The lights
pee me off.

[Pultost]

It also annoys me when someone is taking a pill, and then take the tiniest sip of water to wash it down. Yeah, 'cause that'll help! :P

[breaux]

super stereotypical european characters

[Cassius16]

When they're searching someone's office/room/house and then there's tension with the other person coming back, and you keep wanting them to hide or run, then right at the last moment they are safe.

[Natacha]

When actors care more about the camera than the story they should tell. And they put their eye brows in different positions to look cool or interesting or think they look sexy. I lose interest in the movie, when that happens

[InternetTeen]

It also annoys me when someone is taking a pill, and then take the tiniest sip of water to wash it down. Yeah, 'cause that'll help! :P

It takes me about half an hour and a whole bottle of water to swallow the tiniest pill.

[Cassius16]

When no one ever says what they mean, or when they don't share information, or when they individually know what is happening but never share it with each other.

[InternetTeen]

When someone is running away from something/someone and trips.

In scary films when a character yells out hello as if the killer is going to be like I'm in the living room.

Police/Cops being stupid and clueless.

Ghosts that hate people who moved into their new house. They throw chairs and plates around the house, so why can't they just grab the people who moved into their house and throw them out.

[Pultost]

It takes me about half an hour and a whole bottle of water to swallow the tiniest pill.

That should help. xD

[Karalectric]

Oh yea and how about the obvious 20 and sometimes even 30 somethings playing high schoolers?? :P

[Pultost]

Oh yea and how about the obvious 20 and sometimes even 30 somethings playing high schoolers?? :P

Ugh, don't get me started. :P Okay, if there are some risque scenes I understand that they don't want 16 year old actors to play the parts, but they can do better than that. xD

yeah, or when being chased by a car, and they can run anywhere they want, but they run straight down the middle of road in front of the car. They pick the best place where the car can run them down, when every other choice would be better than that!...lol

[hayley2003]

Oh yea and how about the obvious 20 and sometimes even 30 somethings playing high schoolers?? :P

Oh I hate that too. I guess they ran out people who are really in HS... :P

[Pultost]

Yeah that's just stupid. xD Or when someone being chased trips and falls, and instead of getting up right away, they remain seated on the ground, screaming and waiting to be killed. :rolleyes:

[Karalectric]

That movie Promethius, one of the characters is crushed by a falling something and all she had to do was RUN SIDEWAYS and lived. lol

[Pultost]

That movie Promethius, one of the characters is crushed by a falling something and all she had to do was RUN SIDEWAYS and lived. lol

Kinda like Indiana Jones when he runs right in front of that rolling boulder. Sure, he lived, but one hop to the side would make it a bit easier for him. :P

[Karalectric]

Oh and The Day After Tomorrow was on the other day. Made me think of the scientist who OF COURSE IS RIGHT and SO MUCH CAN BE AVOIDED, but all the world leaders write him off and WHY WON'T ANYONE LISTENNN :P

[Pultost]

It also annoys me how everybody are safe from a bullet rain as long as they hide behind a table. :P

[hayley2003]

Aren't the good guys always safe not matter what? :P

[Ragle]

Ask that your girlfriend if you both have a very violent quarrel next time.

[Pultost]

Aren't the good guys always safe not matter what? :P

I guess you're right, I suppose bullets are designed to either miss or only barely wound good guys. :P

[Zika]

yeah, or when being chased by a car, and they can run anywhere they want, but they run straight down the middle of road in front of the car. They pick the best place where the car can run them down, when every other choice would be better than that!...lol

haha that's what I always think when I see a scene like that. "Hey, run to the side, between the parked cars."
Oh, but then they wouldn't be able to call it an 'adventure' movie.

[hayley2003]

yeah, gotta suspend your belief in almost all movies otherwise everything seems fake. I guess it partly comes down to if its a good movie, or a bad movie. its easier to over look some stupid stuff if the movie is good, but when its bad, well the stupid stuff just seems extra bad. And in a good movie, they can make the stupid stuff seem good, if that makes any sense. :)

[hayley2003]

Probably what I hate most is the fake scary ending, with the fake fake scary ending, then the fake fake fake scary ending....

but that should not be confused with a good movie that has twist at the end, which sometimes comes after fake ending, which is more like a fake ending that has a twist.

Best example is one of the best scary movies with the twist, Identity.

ZqEiMyT1VS8

If you have not seen identity, it the best of the best, its more of a thriller with unexpected ending that nobody sees coming.... Kinda one of movies that is best not to know too much before you watch it because the fun is watching it to be surprised, then watching it again because the ending changes everything you thought you saw the first time. It's my favorite kind of movie, and Identity is one of the very best.

[Pultost]

A cliche that annoys me (I considered to make it a thread of it's own, but figured it'd be too similar to this one) is that in 90% of action/thriller movies it turns out that the good guy's partner or best friend turns out to be one of the bad guys.

[Pultost]

When someone smokes while cooking. Nothing like spicing your food up with a bit of cigarette ash, yeah? :P

[Natacha]

A certain american dialect where they can't pronounce E.
So "sex" is pronounced "sax"
And "Best" is "Bast"... I don't think I have to put any more examples here.

I don't know where that dialect is from, but I can't accept it

[KatieCO2003]

yeah, or when being chased by a car, and they can run anywhere they want, but they run straight down the middle of road in front of the car. They pick the best place where the car can run them down, when every other choice would be better than that!...lol

The Prometheus School of Running Away From Things!

I hate impossible physics in action movies. Like when a car hits something head on, but then tumbles end over end like a Hot Wheels car off a bunk bed, instead of just smashing the front end and coming to a sudden stop like a real car would.

And CGI. Anything CGI. Especially that Transformers thing where the special effects team tries to see how many unidentifiable flippy-twisty objects they can cram onto the screen at once.

[Anneki]

If they spend unnecessary long time on some drama like crossing at bridge or when they have these ultra teaching obvious computer programs

[Pultost]

When they hang up after a phone call without saying goodbye. C'mon, that's just rude. :P

[Ashley2004]

I don't like that in movies, the good guys always win. Why can't there be movies where the bad guys win?
Other than trilogies where sometimes the bad guys have a temporary win, the only movies I can think of where the bad guys get away are Fallen and Arlington Road and both are really great movies imo.

[ashleigh7]

When it's a car chase....and they are doing about 25to 30mph! Lame!! I've seen the white lines on roads go faster underneath my bike! (Bicycle) :)

On the other hand it could be fun to see an action movie where they actually follow all the traffic rules. Keep the speed limit, stop at red lights, never go the wrong way, etc. :P

Yeah, totally by the book! :lol3: Same thing with chases on foot, slowing down, going "excuse me", "pardon me", "coming through" when they meet a crowd on the way. xD

Oh and don’t forget about the X-walks...must wait tell it’s safe..look both ways before crossing, and the little crossing guy is displayed...action packed! Move goers would be on the edge of their seats! Lol!

[Pultost]

Oh yeah, it'll be the action flick of the year for sure! :lol:
And another thing, when a bad-guy is chased by a police car, he'll go "Damn!", and pull over. xD

[BlackParadePixie]

when the lightning and thunder happens at the same time

[Pultost]

when the lightning and thunder happens at the same time

Oof, yeah, it annoys me every time, and the same mistake is made in most movies I've seen where a thunderstorm happens.

[Staralex]

Me what annozs me most is overhyped sh*t The DCEU is good at that

[Shortie]

I also hate the "good guys" always winning too, or when the bad guys are chasing and shooting at the good guys and when the good guys stop the bad guy will stop shooting and say "freeze! Don't move". Lame. Have you seen the movie "Streets"? It's another no happy ending movie or the directors ending of The Butterfly Effect. It's sad and far better than the theatrical ending, which was only chosen to make people walk away feeling happy.

Never heard of Streets but maybe I should check it out. I forgot about butterfly effect but yes that's a really good movie as well. I should watch it again sometime.

[Shortie]

Streets is rarely on TV over here but it is on YouTube last time I checked. It's low budget and over 30 years old but I'd recommend it.

[Falcons_11]

In old western (cowboy) movies it seems that all the good and bad guys drink a lot of whiskey. One would think that most of them would be flat on their butts drunk as mules on on locoweed.

LMAO! Yeah, I imagine that if it was real, they'll tumble to the side when trying to reach for their guns. xD

[Falcons_11]

Yep, or pull the triggers before the gun is out the holster and shoot their willies.

That would be a bigger risk for those who carry guns in the belt in the front to look cool. :P

[Jermy]

Villains talking and telling the heroes their plans, when they should just be killing them while they have the chance. It is so stupid.

[Pultost]

OMG, yes! Take Bond-villains, for example. James Bond would've been dead long time ago if any of the villains had some brains, and just put him down on the spot. :P

[Jermy]

I know right. Its like I have been watching the movie. I know the evil plan. Why do you have to go over it again with the hero. Just kill them already. LOL

[Pultost]

Yeah, it's one of those old movie cliches that just won't die. They even made fun of it in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", when one person shoots another and says: "When you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk." :lol3:

[SouthernDude]

When the editing lacks continuity

[Sieze]

Bad plot and overly used cheesy lines

[Pultost]

When there's a collision between two cars, and they explode. :rolleyes:

[Xidiwi1udjvjjs]

Villains giving dramatic monologues. I mean seriously, they miss so many opportunities by wasting time it's their own fault the good guys always win lol

Actually i'm going to say something that annoys other people. in rom coms when they always get together at the end.

[Claire Asteroid]

Musicals - it seems so weird that people would just sing at each other instead of speaking.

[Pultost]

Actually i'm going to say something that annoys other people. in rom coms when they always get together at the end.

Rom coms in general annoy me. Successful this or that bumps into their own flame, things get awkward, thing get good, and blah blah happily ever after. No thanks. :rolleyes:

How the 'bad' guys are crap at shooting.

When you are left wondering about different parts of the story because it didn't finish properly.

[Pultost]

How the 'bad' guys are crap at shooting.

Yeah, they've all attended "Stormtrooper Academy", apparently. :P

[BiYasmin]

Yeah, they've all attended "Stormtrooper Academy", apparently. :P

huh? :confused::confused:

It's a running joke. The stormtroopers in Star Wars movies are infamous for not hitting anything they shoot at. xD

[HighVamp913]

When its predictable. Like come on why would you go down in the basement when your home alone. My black ass would've threw a gasoline container down there. Then a match. Problem solved.

[Pultost]

Yeah, everybody know that exploring a basement alone won't end well. Gasoline and matches sounds like a better idea. xD

[HighVamp913]

Yeah, everybody know that exploring a basement alone won't end well. Gasoline and matches sounds like a better idea. xD

If someone tries to convince me to go in the basement to check it out:no: ima kick them down there and lock the door. After 5 minutes yell if there ok, no answer then in goes the gas and match.
If I'm ever in a horror movie you better hope I don't hate you:lol: or you're dying first and ain't the serial killers fault :P
Felt good to get that off my chest:) :lol3:

LMAO, good plan. :lol3: Glad you could let it out. xD If I was in a horror movie, knowing what I know, I'd just stay home rather than joining the others on their camping trip, waving as they go, saying "Nice knowing ya!" :P

Well damXD atleast tell em not to go :lol3:

[Pultost]

Well damXD atleast tell em not to go :lol3:

I'd try, but I doubt they'd listen to me, and say things like "You've seen too many horror movies", etc., and go anyway. Well, they'll have another thing coming. :P

[HighVamp913]

Pultost I have a feeling in the morning you are going to go to where they camped and dance around their dead bodies saying "I told y'all so! Didn't I" then go back home as if nothing happened :lol:

Haha, yeah, and while I cheer and dance, the masked slasher who did them all in last night sneaks up on me. :P

[HighVamp913]

Nah see go prepared and when the slasher is tip toeing. Turn around with machete and say "Karma a b***h" XD or "This is for my friends motherf****r" and kill em.

Of the original saga, there are nine episodes, plus a couple of stand-alone ones. :)

argh, that seems like a lot of effort to watch it all... I'll see

Yeah, just give it a chance if it shows up on Netflix one day you have nothing better to do. :)

I think it is on Disney +... we will see.

Ah, yes, of course. There's that Mandalorian show as well. I wanna see that, but I'm not getting a channel just because of one show. :P

[EmilyCan]

That an "ugly" main girl in the movie is just a beautiful actress with hair up, glasses and baggy jumper. By end of movie they discover their beauty by taking off glasses. Stupid.

[Natacha]

This is not exactly in a movie. But there are some very popular movies in Denmark about a gang of thieves. Some company has made tribute posters with some of the actors and trademark lines. I like that, but I yelled out in anger, when I saw this.
