I dislike when a character is Jewish but is portrayed by a non Jew.

>character grabs something from the medicine cabinet
>about to shut it
>suddenly hesitiate, like they've got a bad feeling about something
>turns to check there's no one behind them
>there isn't
>shuts the medicine cabinet
>there's a monster in the mirror

>Character is alone and hears noises in some dark spot
>Wanders in saying over and over "Guys is that you? This isn't funny! Ha ha you can come out now!"
Is it standard for people in America to constantly hide in houses to jump out at people or something?

other way around

But that was his wholesome ghost friend, though. Just a pal spooking his other pal.

stay on the road, television.

I really liked in the new scream movie when the camera followed Wes around the kitchen setting up cliche jumpscares and they just never happened. Shame the rest of the film was ass.

there should be no driving scenes in movies because they always make me think the character is about to crash

No. A Jew playing a non-Jew is still Hollywood catering to the white majority. A non-Jew playing a Jewish character is insidious propaganda.

>no monster in the mirror
>breathes a sigh of relief
>turns around
>there's a monster

Only when it's THIS camera angle, which for a short while was a surprise, then it was used constantly in films and TV so it ended up just telling the audience there's going to be a "shocking" car crash

Ah the "surprise" jumpscare. They can't really think it's still a surprise right? They even use a camera angle with obvious room for the monster or ghost to jump out in. You know that one?

>Character is on the phone
>Repeats everything the other person says so we can "hear it"
Why not just make the other person audible? Instead of "Timmy is trapped in the well? And the well is on fire? And a volcano is going off? And the well water has a limestone source and tastes a bit off?"

>You’re not real

Mirror jumpscares have given me a slight phobia of mirrors to this day. When I was a teenager and would brush my teeth at night, I couldn't look back at a mirror after looking away. I'd have to keep my eyes down until I left the restroom.

>posts one of the earliest examples to complain about
Retard

Al Gore doesn't wanna talk to me?
WHY NOT!?

Are you stupid? It's just a helpful example. Why would you assume An American Werewolf in London is being "attacked"?

For a while I was doing this to my mother.
I'd even wait outside in the middle of the night and watch her through a window until she looked up. Finally stopped because I made her actually weep and felt like a bastard for it.
It's pretty fun though.

>cop gets call and immediately throws away barely eaten food
>commotion ensues around a huge spread of food
>Fight breaks out in a room full of priceless artifacts

The first one irritates me but the other two have me unironically cringing to see it happen.

I swear I just saw this used in another movie not long ago but I can't remember where.

Yeah, the surprise pov t-boning has been used a little too much.

Should have gone with Weinstein.

No way. Not him
>Shalhoub, the ninth of 10 children, was born and raised in a Lebanese Maronite Christian household in Green Bay, Wisconsin. His father, Joseph (1912–1991), was from Mount Lebanon and immigrated to the United States, after his own parents, Milhelm and Mariam, were both murdered based on orders by the Three Pashas ruling the Ottoman Empire during the 1915 Assyrian Genocide.
Wow, that's a shock.

>Character checks reflection in mirror
>walks away
>reflection stays there and looks at main character with an evil grin

That coal burner and her mutt was the worst part of heros.

I always hate seeing obvious historical artifacts getting trashed in films without any character trying to be careful. Like Uncharted they had these mint condition pair of Age of Sail ships hidden in a cave, and even had the villain mention the ships alone were priceless, never mind the treasure in them, and then you see them get absolutely smashed to bits on rocks and I was just cringing thinking of the loss of such a find.

>giant humanoid looking crystal cabinet closes a naked human that was being held by ropes
>hear a crack as his bones break and he screams
>humanoid monster crystal looks behind to see you, a fat fucking virgin wasting the best years of his life and making excuses to not work for anything knowing you will unfortunately never have love because you're a genetic failure

I'll do you one better: the "fake out" jumpscare

>character wandering in dark area
>music swells
>character points at something, killer/creature not there
>music stops
>character resets to default position and sees killer/creature
>LOUD NOISE

At this point it would be scarier if the thing was actually where they pointed to

fun trivia: Polański invented that

>I'M JESSE VENTURA
>AND THIS IS YOUR MOM
>AND THIS IS YOUR DAD
>AND THIS IS YOU.

Usually featuring this obvious camera shot switch

the mirror jumpscare in the sixth sense got me so fucking hard i had nightmares for weeks if not months. in fact that whole fucking movie just scared the ever loving shit out of me. i was nine when it came out and begged my grandma to take me to see it and i think i actually wanted to leave and go home and she said no, kek

This makes me mad. Idk why.

I really don't know why. I was just surprised because he looks Jewish and his name sounds Jewish.

That description alone is making me anxious.

>You’re one ugly mother fucker…

Well, because he knows you’re gonna ask him the hard questions!

They’re moving it!

A SEXY BITCH

He’s Middle Eastern, that’s why

Meds now

I saw that in IMAX but I the bottom right corner so every other shot was looking at a stretched wonky aspect tatio face. Somewhat funny but my neck got tired.

On topic that was painful, it would have been unbelievably good to have seen either some entertaining 'talk' out of the place or to some compromise or to have at least committed to hand-to-hand combat. Fun is not smart in modern movies.

Did they really need to show his transformed werewolf cock too? What the hell was wrong with 80's boomers?

It's funny because the ending of Uncharted 4 (the final one) was Nate finally growing up and becoming a real archaeologist who did things properly instead of a guy that plows through incredible historical and cultural finds like a fucking hurricane.

I guess Uncharted the Movie is early career where he is still in his "the priceless treasure winds up in 40 pieces on the sea bed" phase.

>stock children playing or laughing sounds
Instant death knell for any kind of horror.

>Horror movie
>Character does something incredibly stupid
>Character trips when running away from the monster
Literally 95% of horror movies have these two tropes. I love horror but most of it is literal trash.

It's when they trip and can't get up for...some reason. A character actually has to stop and help them up.

yeah, they just fall like retards everytime
in real life you have to be a fucking retard to fall like that

that movie scared the shit out of me as a kid

>Parents are beatnik hippies
>Children are completely normal
Valley Girl is one culprit. Easy A too.

I always think "How old is your kid" "12" "They draw like a retard"

insane

that literally is super common
parents that try to hardcore enforce their ideas end up having children that are the opposite

happens to religious people, leftists, rednecks, etc.

ears say nay, fella
learn to recognise

idk
you ever run/sprint around the woods at night? 0% chance of not at least rolling your ankle
granted falling on pavement is top tier retarded

>super strength antagonist manages to grab protagonist
>proceeds to just throw him across the room

I wanna watch a horror movie where the main character is like actually mentally disabled or missing a leg or something, at least then the falling over and stupidity would make sense.

Ah, the Smallville routine, although it was usually Clark doing the single toss across the room
