What things do you see in movies that most people wouldn't notice or care about but annoy you? For me it's when someone has a gun firing next to their head and they're completely unfazed. Also when the speed of sound is the speed of light (you hear explosions / thunder instantly)

When there's a conflict between characters caused by a misunderstanding that could be resolved in one sentence
Connor Morgan
I can’t stand action scenes where there’s no way to know where the characters are, either to each other, or in the setting in general. For example, someone being chased through hallways, usually in sci fi, and they just keep turning corners. There’s no tension because you don’t know how close the chaser is, or how close they are to escape, you’re just waiting for it to be over. Same with car chase scenes down random streets, even if the one being chased has a destination, it’s just pointless if you don’t know how close they are to it.
Also, overly long shootouts where nobody’s getting shot. Just unloading clips and reloading and shooting more, swapping from closeups of two characters, no sense of tension, no indication of why nobody’s actually getting hit with bullets, no use of the geography of the scene, just closeups of shooting.

One thing that never fails to annoy me is how Hollywood people seem to be completely ignorant to how fragile the human body is. In so many movies the protagonist will get shot or stabbed or fall off a three story building and just say "aww fuck" and limp away from it instead of being in excruciating pain unable to move. The new batman movie was the worst example of this I've ever seen.
I also hate when movies treat Kevlar vests like they're bulletproof. In movies people get shot many times and are just like "lucky I was wearing a vest". All a Kevlar vest does is stop bullets from going INSIDE you, preventing organ damage. What movies don't realise is that a bullet is a solid piece of lead travelling faster than the speed of sound, if you get hit in the vest you will still suffer broken ribs and possibly internal bleeding. Larger bullets from the likes a of a high powered rifle will punch straight though a vest easily. It's why nobody calls them "bulletproof vests" any more.

speaking of the speed of sound thing, this scene seems like such a waste to me

instead of having the lightning far away so he can
>see lightning
>wait
>bash when thunder comes
they have the lightning really close so it's
>see lightning, hear thunder
>bash the pipe
are there any movies that actually pull this gimmick of syncing with the thunder off? i know enemy at the gates has something similar with shooting in time with the shelling
Gavin Ward
here's that scene from enemy at the gates for anyone who hasn't seen it

Kill me.
This, but once you've met actual people who are legitimately too stubborn and retarded to communicate with others it becomes terrifyingly possible that person A and person B can't communicate a simple "I didn't do X, who said I did?" Because these confrontational retards do exist and they literally cannot understand a simple explanation of "you're wrong, this is the reality of the situation" without a massive fight.
Just assume everyone on TV is crippled with insecurity. And it makes senee
Dylan Jenkins
Same except it’s aviation related sound
>characters are near jet aircraft without PPE and aren’t getting their brains liquified
>worse, they’re having intelligible conversations around aircraft pulling VTOL takeoff or landing
Bonus:
>take the flight controls, I’m having a heart atttttaaaaack
>newbie gets landing instructions over comms
>phew stuck that landing like a champ
>jk my heart attack is over!
Xavier Ross
Asshole. Let's have a 10 minute fight scene.
Isaac Gutierrez
Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the whole Spidey vs Harry subplot could've been avoided if Peter had explained how Norman died
Brayden Wilson
Or if the butler simply told Harry what happened.

>Also when the speed of sound is the speed of light (you hear explosions / thunder instantly)
For me it's overhead aircraft. The movie Arrival was particularly bad about that in a short scene that nobody remembers.
Henry Fisher
does anyone know movies where there's a realistic speed of sound for gunfights / sniper fire?

Cut to some AA/NA meeting where random character tells their addiction story
Main character sits sullenly listening but obviously doesn't wish to be there

Group leader then turns to them
"user, we havent heard from you for a while..."

What really pisses me off is that it would be easy enough to hire actual gun autists to run shit on jewlywood sets but they care so little about it that complete retards like that bitch that fucked everything up with the baldwin shooting have jobs.

Worse is when they slap a suppressor on a revolver and it's not a nagant or one of the few purpose-built suppressed revolvers.
Jose Davis
As much as this gets posted and people still respond
Robert Robinson
that and pic related are almost 100% guaranteed (You)s.
Xavier Taylor
I've never been to one. Is the issue that most meetings are okay with letting people not participate, or do you just dislike the cliche?
Christopher Cruz

I always hated car chases but never understood why. I think you solved it.

God, that scene in John Wick was just fucking embarrassing.

>Needless use of "one shot" takes to appeal to "film buffs" who appreciate "good cinematography"
Stop doing this. No one likes it. Use cuts. Stop treating your audience like their babies who only want to be entertained by shining jingling keys.

Jack Price
I remember American sniper being pretty realistic. One of the only movies I can think of where bullets go THROUGH people realistically. Like you see bullet impact the dirt behind the person, then you hear the gunshot, then they drop.
Aiden Bell
To be fair, he did go down from it and was out the fight until popping some venom, for a bulletproof batsuit it was done reasonably realistically.

It happens all the fucking time in real life, but I also think it is usually a contrived reason in fiction that rarely has the necessary authenticity to it.

>Goes to war
>No helmet
For fuck's sake WEAR YOUR FUCKING HELMET. Even peasants use what little money they have on helmets. Even today where armor is useless we still wear helmets. Its the first piece of armor made after the shield. It protects your fucking head. I know you want us to see the nice actors faces that you paid so much money on. But goddamn, am I triggered by this.
Also
>No gauntlets while wearing full armor
Say goodbye to your fingers and arms.

I hate when characters hang by their arms or their hands for ridiculously long periods of time. Either their grip would give, or they would be in excruciating pain for the tension on their arms and shoulders. Pic related was a prime example, she hangs suspended and swinging for a very long time when she first meets Kong.
