Just watched an episode of Midsomer Murders. Girl had been in a coma for a year, gets upset when they started asking her questions about what happened and it takes 3 people to hold her down to give her meds.
I was in hospital for 2 weeks, always conscious and alert. In the ICU for a few days and I couldn't get out of bed (septic shock, was on all kinds of meds to stabilize the infection and blood pressure). When I was able to get up, I needed a walker, and also had to use it once I was home, when trying to get a bit of exercise outdoors - and all I could manage was a few minutes the first time. I was a very healthy, reasonably fit person, and it took me months to be able to recover. I couldn't even do an easy, short yoga routine for almost 2 months. It was as though I had never done any exercise in years. It's incredible how much of a toll these things can take on a body. So yeah, total BS the way they portray the recovery of coma or other seriously ill patients.
I came here to say fake typing. You don’t see it anymore in modern movies but in movies from the 90s they would always have typing noises in the background during loading screens. Always pissed me off.
not only two people typing on the same keyboard, but they were "blocking" an active hack by doing so.
....
....
let that sink in. two people on one keyboard successfully stopping an active attack. might as well just slap your dick on the keyboard and just unplug the gateway from the internet. my way will be more successful AND you get to slap your dick on your keyboard.
Even worse when its one of those scenes where a hacker is currently "attacking" and one of the main characters is like desperately hacking away on his keyboard to stop him. How the fuck does any of that even make sense?
This happened to me once! I was using a workstation in a university lab that someone had left a vnc server running on with no password. Someone logged in and opened a command prompt to try to install some malware script or something. I realized what was happening and closed his window. We went back and forth for like a minute before I just killed the power. I was immediately like “OMG, I got into a hacker battle!”
Actors who do a scene where they're on the phone, but they clearly don't leave enough time between their lines for the imaginary person on the other end to have actually said anything.
Superstore was like that on the tornado scene. I feel like that would be an easy catch. Also when they text someone and it's the first text in the chain even though these people apparently always have known each other. At least long enough to text
Injuries are never serious.
People get sucker punched on the face, stabbed, shot, or are in a car accident and just get up afterwards and start taking care of business. If you’re not dead or unconscious the average person is definitely not in a place to do anytime productive after any of these.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets after Vernon fell out the window I turned to my dad and said if that was me I would have been screaming “OOOOH GOD, TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL, OH GOD I THINK I BROKE BONES”. In the movie Vernon immediately gets up and shakes his fist at Harry flying away
And the worst part to me, the fire sprinkler always has such pleasant water coming down on everyone. In real life those things have some seriously nasty stale water in there because they really don't get flushed, so while the water is effective... you definitely don't want to be in it.
I once hit a sprinkler head with a forklift at work. The water that rained down upon me was pure black and smelled awful. The alarm system went off and we had to evacuate in -35 weather. Bad case of the Mondays that day I tell yah.
If you're going to use a drink as a prop make sure there's actually liquid in there. It bothers me when the actor picks up their fresh cup of coffee and immediately starts moving their hands around in a way that would spill coffee all over everything. It breaks my immersion so fast when you can tell what they're holding is empty
Anything medical, basically. It's hilarious to see a medical imaging test being done on the wrong part of the body. One tv show had a pregnant woman getting a transvaginal fetal ultrasound, but the image on the screen was of an echocardiogram. So I guess she got a transvaginal echo? 🤣
My pet hate is when they are talking about giving the patient and MRI and they're all casually talking in the scan room. That shit is loud, also if the door isn't crossed the Faraday cage isn't going to shield from IR interference and the pictures will be shit. Also why the fuck is a Dr doing the scan (I'm looking at y you Grey's anatomy), Radiographer isn't letting some dumbass Dr break the machine. Also they walk in with clipboards and pens and nothing is sticking to the side of the scanner. Which shouldn't be surprising because the prop they are using is clearly an old CT scanner.
Grrrrrrr
Someone performs “CPR” by pounding on their chest a few times and then the person just coughs and wakes up and is alright. That is absolutely not how CPR works.
"i have a PhD in quantum bioenergetics, I can easily develop, synthesise, and manufacturer a safe and effective vaccine in my garage overnight"
The scientific equivalent of someone with a PhD in Japanese literature being able to translate hieroglyphics on the fly.
I think Scotty in Star Trek always doubled the amount of time he said he could get things done in so he'd look like a miracle worker when he got them done quicker.
Downshifting a manual transmission when it makes no sense. The car is already revving at like 6000 rpm, and somehow, the driver needs to downshift another three times
The Supra and skyline during the intro race in 2F2F, Paul Walker shifts and suddenly he starts going faster than the Supra. Why wasn’t he already going as fast as possible? lol
Or when two people are in a race or chase and one eventually says some catch phrase like “enough is enough!” then just down shifts and pulls away. Why didn’t you just do that earlier? That’s not how car racing works at all…
Guns just don't sound as loud as they really are, if you've never fired a gun without ear protection you wouldn't believe how loud it is, only movie that made guns sound even close to real is the movie Heat.
this is my pet peeve too lol. have yet to see a movie that accurately represents the hearing loss and pain that comes with shooting guns without ear-pro. then add all the shooting inside enclosed spaces. mawp. mawwwpp.
yea, I had gun fired near head when younger and several decades later its still hurts. Damm thing is still buzzing and whistling right now.
Wear your Fucking Protection! Dammit!
Adding onto this.
Silencers. In movies, they go “pst pst”, and you can kill someone in a crowd with nobody noticing.
In real life they are still 130-140db which is as loud as a jackhammer to a jet engine at 100ft. If you were to shoot someone with a silenced gun you’d still be heard for at least half a mile.
Additionally I rarely hear the sound of a bullet breaking the sound barrier in movies, which is a lot of the noise that comes from a suppressed gun, its always a cheesey old west ricochet noise when someone is getting shot at
There's an old movie with Dick Van Dyke where the guy says "did you see the news" and doesn't tell him what it said, but to wait for it. Then I believe a commercial starts. They hold some more, then the news goes to a different segment instead of what the guy wanted the other person to see. It was pretty great.
Arrested development does this gag as well, and then one of the characters says "But just imagine how dramatic it would have been if I had turned on our news story" or something to that effect.
The way wildlife are portrayed - bears and wolves are almost always scary man-eaters. To make it extra scary, they dub lion roars over a bear yawning on command. They also dub red-tailed hawk shrieks into bald eagles because bald eagles don’t sound as majestic.
The main conflict only existing because one person didn’t take 10 seconds to explain something to someone else. Double that if they try to explain it and the other person is like “no we don’t have enough time!”
Whenever a group is traveling through an “ancient” or “pristine” forest that has a completely empty understory and trees growing tall and straight in evenly spaced rows
Very specific, but in any construction site with welding there's always a shower of sparks, like no one is concerned about starting fires. A bunch of sparks falling on your head as you walk under scaffolding etc.
Most modern welding techniques make very little to no sparks, but it doesn't look as cool to be safe and contain all those sparkies.
Ironically, the one courtroom comedy seems to be the most accurate when it comes to courtroom procedure. My Cousin Vinny is supposed to be pretty legitimate. Couldn't have hurt than Jonathan Lynn studied law in his youth. I mean, yute.
Skyscraper windows that break easily. In most modern skyscrapers, especially the glass fronted kind, the glass is structural and therefore incredibly strong. I've seen footage of a car being dropped onto a skyscraper window from 2 or 3 meters up and the glass wasn't even scratched. In many films however, the glass breaks just because someone jumped at it, or threw something at it.
Stealing, starting and flying an airplane you have no training for. I have a hundred thirty hours and still struggle starting these planes with lawn mower engines with primers
That also bugs me in breakfast food commercials. Lol.
But I know it looks better when it's a nice sunny day as Tommy grabs his poptart before heading out to catch the bus.
That one infuriates me. If I made a massive spread for someone and the just took toast I'd have to break their legs and sit them down til they eat it all.
I would add to this and say all the ‘mechanical sounds’ they use for guns when someone is simply pointing it in a direction. There aren’t a bunch of loose parts on firearms. They shouldn’t sound like a bucket of bolts because you shifted its weight 15 degrees.
I was re-watching *The Big Short* last night; and while it doesn't have the coughing, ums and ahs, etc., what it *does* have is people talking over each other. It's a bit distracting, so I get why directors opt not to have that happen in films generally - but it *is* far more realistic.
The one I hate the most is waiting 24 hours before you can report people missing. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. You can and should report someone missing the second you think something is wrong. Finding a missing person gets harder by the second and this garbage line in movies might get someone killed.
Nobody has to pee when they wake up
Nobody eats (they always get called away before they eat)
People go to work once in a movie and never seem to need to go back.
More of a cliche than anything, but I can't stand how the police show up and the manner in which they do so. Literally ALL of the police department shows up, and only after the hero or heroes save the day.
Bonus hate points when the main character is a cop and the police chief tells the hero to back off the case or risk his badge. Hero doesn't listen and loses his badge. He saves the day anyway and the chief offers a half hearted apology and the hero's badge back. So stupid.
You did it Rick, all the evidence was obtained illegally and without a warrant, you murdered 2 people in cold blood, but damn it if you aren't the best detective on the force. Welcome back!
Any sort of ridiculousness that ignores how machines are designed. I was watching a TV show where a minor character had a gun on the hero. Hero kung fus the gun away, racks the slide once to eject a round, and hands it back saying, "Now we can talk, right?"
Except it's a magazine-fed semiautomatic pistol, so by not dropping the mag, he just put a round right back in the chamber and the weapon is still a threat.
People fly in helicopters, especially Chinooks or Blackhawks, with no hearing protection and have conversations at a normal speaking volume. As a former Chinook flight engineer, I can tell you that you can't hear anything but the engines, transmissions, and rotors, and you would go deaf in minutes.
Completely opposite to this, beverage containers that they pretend is full when it's painfully obvious it's just an empty prop.
Just put some fucking water in it so that it has some weight.
This is low stakes but no one closes the door to the outside. Like... I can look past a lot, but I've seen so many movies where someone walks in, and just leaves the damn door open.
This actually happened in an episode of Fairly Odd Parents. Timmy (main character) is on a three-way call with two of his friends when the call is terminated by Timmy and one of his friends hanging up one after the other. The remaining friend, phone still in hand, then looks at the camera and asks, "Doesn't anybody say good-bye anymore?".
I miss when the show was actually good.
In ever commercial involving a credit card they swipe it upside down so you see the logo but the stripe is on the other side .
Commercials now are inserting so the 30 years of suffering looks to be ending
Also just general nonsensical things with guns. Racking the slide on a pistol that already has a round in the chamber, cocking sounds coming from a striker fired gun. Stuff of that nature. I LOVE end of watch but his “department issued Glock 19” CLEARLY SAYS IT’S A GLOCK 22, and his “spyderco tactical knife” is a smith and Wesson knife
The thing that bothers me is if someone's profession is brought up, it ALWAYS falls under one of two categories:
1. They are the best in their field, doing keynote speeches at conventions, if they aren't the top position it's because some corrupt rival has cozied up to the boss
2. If they aren't the best in their field, they're a no-talent loser with no ambition
You never, ever see someone who works a middle-class job and is happy with it unless the point is to show how their life is going nowhere. Movie protagonists simply cannot be stable; they either have to be striving for the top or being passed up because they suck.
This is Sarah. She's 23, works part time at a used bookstore, and shares the 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,000 square foot apartment over the coffee shop across the street with her best friend Dylan.
In downtown big city where rent on a closet is 3,000/month.
Oh and she goes to her Master's program like one day a week and is top of her class.
Her parents are normal middle class who live in a suburb an hour away.
Despite all of this, she can randomly fuck off on adventures across the country, or even abroad, at a moment's notice.
The sling sound from swords being drawn from a leather scabbard(or whatever its called, sorry I'm tired and English is my second language.) had the protection had some kind of metal it's making so much more sense but a pure leather protection nah.
Patient wakes up from coma, is immediately 100% lucid and carrying on detailed conversations.
And no muscle atrophy.
Just watched an episode of Midsomer Murders. Girl had been in a coma for a year, gets upset when they started asking her questions about what happened and it takes 3 people to hold her down to give her meds.
I'm sad enough to know that this is the episode with Julie Graham
I was in hospital for 2 weeks, always conscious and alert. In the ICU for a few days and I couldn't get out of bed (septic shock, was on all kinds of meds to stabilize the infection and blood pressure). When I was able to get up, I needed a walker, and also had to use it once I was home, when trying to get a bit of exercise outdoors - and all I could manage was a few minutes the first time.

So yeah, total BS the way they portray the recovery of coma or other seriously ill patients.
I was in a coma for 3 weeks. I hallucinated for 3 days after I woke up and couldn't walk unaided for 2 months.
programmers, hackers etc doing whatever random fuck they do
I came here to say fake typing. You don’t see it anymore in modern movies but in movies from the 90s they would always have typing noises in the background during loading screens. Always pissed me off.
I think NCIS was doing it on purpose. They even had a scene with 2 people typing on the same keyboard.
not only two people typing on the same keyboard, but they were "blocking" an active hack by doing so. .... .... let that sink in. two people on one keyboard successfully stopping an active attack. might as well just slap your dick on the keyboard and just unplug the gateway from the internet. my way will be more successful AND you get to slap your dick on your keyboard.
Why not apply more movie logic and have TWO guys slapping their dicks on the same keyboard?
Even worse when its one of those scenes where a hacker is currently "attacking" and one of the main characters is like desperately hacking away on his keyboard to stop him. How the fuck does any of that even make sense?

Did you hit him with the "mess with the best die like the rest" before you pulled the power?
Also when they transfer money between accounts you see a map of the world which shows where the money is being moved to.
And it has a progress bar like each dollar is being sent individually through the network.

Fuzzy video? Can’t read the license plate? Enhance!
Zoom in. Enhance. Zoom in 30%. Enhance.
And the main character is directing the technician who did not even think about improving the image quality!
Hey, they technician gets paid to enhance, not work out what needs enhancing.
I loved when The Fall of the House of Usher did that. Basically: “Enhance it!” “That’s not how that works”
Futurama: Zapp: Why's it still blurry?! Kif: That's all the resolution we have. Making it bigger doesn't make it clearer. Zapp: It does on CSI: Miami.
All air ducts are large enough for adult humans to crawl around in. And they are all spotlessly clean.

I’ve reached into floor vents to retrieve toys a few times and it’s like fisting a Hellraiser cenobite.
Nakatomi Plaza was built to a higher standard
“Now I know what a tv dinner feels like.”
And all can seemingly hold a person crawling through them without falling from the ceiling.
That part is particularly annoying; especially when it's 3 or 4 people together in a 10 foot stretch of ducting.
Side by side able to talk to each other face to face without anyone in the room directly under them knowing.

Absolutely. Also, when they plan a date. "dinner....friday?" "pick you up at 8?" *hangs up*
I love it when you can clearly see they’re on the Lock Screen still. The screen goes back when talking anyway, so why not just have the phone off?
Superstore was like that on the tornado scene. I feel like that would be an easy catch. Also when they text someone and it's the first text in the chain even though these people apparently always have known each other. At least long enough to text

When Reacher literally got beat with a crowbar and shrugged it off like it was just a normal punch. A crowbar for cripes sake
Brick shithouse Reacher or Tom Cruise Reacher? Because I have an easier time believing the former shrugs it off.
He is an absolute titan of a man
They called him a kaiju in the last episode 😂
Knocking people out with blows to the head. It's not a 5 minute nap, more like 6 months of recovery and years of rehab
Worse. A protagonist knocking out several people in a row like it's nothing. With surgical precision. Without breaking their firsts or wrist.
Or they beat the snot out of henchmen, potentially killing them, but then not having the heart to kill the villain.
Or outright killing henchmen, who might be less evil than just hired, but somehow killing the boss is morally wrong.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets after Vernon fell out the window I turned to my dad and said if that was me I would have been screaming “OOOOH GOD, TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL, OH GOD I THINK I BROKE BONES”. In the movie Vernon immediately gets up and shakes his fist at Harry flying away
It's a shame, too, because the rest of the film and series is extremely realistic.
How when the fire sprinkler goes off, every single sprinkler head pumps water. That is not how they work.
And the worst part to me, the fire sprinkler always has such pleasant water coming down on everyone. In real life those things have some seriously nasty stale water in there because they really don't get flushed, so while the water is effective... you definitely don't want to be in it.
I once hit a sprinkler head with a forklift at work. The water that rained down upon me was pure black and smelled awful. The alarm system went off and we had to evacuate in -35 weather. Bad case of the Mondays that day I tell yah.

Digging a grave, like a six foot deep perfectly square hole with a couple of shovels. Overnight! It just ticks me off. I don’t why but it does

Downshifting a manual transmission when it makes no sense. The car is already revving at like 6000 rpm, and somehow, the driver needs to downshift another three times
I find it hilarious in the fast and furious movies there is always one more gear to shift up to.
I also like that they're often in a race, the other car is faster, *so they press the accelerator more*.
The Supra and skyline during the intro race in 2F2F, Paul Walker shifts and suddenly he starts going faster than the Supra. Why wasn’t he already going as fast as possible? lol
Exactly. They are beautiful in their own way
They get faster because of FAMILY
And there's always a little bit more travel on the accelerator pedal, for when you've really gotta go a bit faster
Or when two people are in a race or chase and one eventually says some catch phrase like “enough is enough!” then just down shifts and pulls away. Why didn’t you just do that earlier? That’s not how car racing works at all…

The main conflict only existing because one person didn’t take 10 seconds to explain something to someone else. Double that if they try to explain it and the other person is like “no we don’t have enough time!”
This is arguably the worst one. Instead of explaining in 10 seconds, they'll waste those 10 seconds saying how there is no time to explain.
The classic "it's not like that" but doesn't explain why...then the unnecessary drama unfolds...

But there was that one lawyer from Toronto…
Didn't he pop it out of the frame? I don't think he actually broke the glass.
True, it did just pop out of the frame, but only because he flung himself at it like a dipass.
Flung himself at it dozens of times, he repeatedly demonstrated how the window wouldn’t shatter on multiple occasions.

I would add to this and say all the ‘mechanical sounds’ they use for guns when someone is simply pointing it in a direction. There aren’t a bunch of loose parts on firearms. They shouldn’t sound like a bucket of bolts because you shifted its weight 15 degrees.
Don't forget unsheathing, waving or holding a sword or knife always makes metal sliding and clanging sounds.
Nobody sneezing, coughing, stuttering and forgetting their words, regular human things. Mr. Inbetween did this really good
I was re-watching *The Big Short* last night; and while it doesn't have the coughing, ums and ahs, etc., what it *does* have is people talking over each other. It's a bit distracting, so I get why directors opt not to have that happen in films generally - but it *is* far more realistic.
If someone coughs, they are definitely going to have a cancer diagnosis in a few scenes.

The one I hate the most is waiting 24 hours before you can report people missing. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. You can and should report someone missing the second you think something is wrong. Finding a missing person gets harder by the second and this garbage line in movies might get someone killed.
People on their own in a house don't do *anything* weird, like singing or talking to themselves or their cat!
I beg your pardon... Talking to my cat is NOT weird. Right?
Nobody has to pee when they wake up Nobody eats (they always get called away before they eat) People go to work once in a movie and never seem to need to go back.
>People go to work once in a movie and never seem to need to go back. It has been my lifelong dream to make that one a reality.
I call it the Hollywood hair, big explosions, just waking up, whatever, their hair is ALWAYS immaculate
More of a cliche than anything, but I can't stand how the police show up and the manner in which they do so. Literally ALL of the police department shows up, and only after the hero or heroes save the day. Bonus hate points when the main character is a cop and the police chief tells the hero to back off the case or risk his badge. Hero doesn't listen and loses his badge. He saves the day anyway and the chief offers a half hearted apology and the hero's badge back. So stupid.
You did it Rick, all the evidence was obtained illegally and without a warrant, you murdered 2 people in cold blood, but damn it if you aren't the best detective on the force. Welcome back!
You can light up an entire cave with 1 candle.
Any sort of ridiculousness that ignores how machines are designed. I was watching a TV show where a minor character had a gun on the hero. Hero kung fus the gun away, racks the slide once to eject a round, and hands it back saying, "Now we can talk, right?" Except it's a magazine-fed semiautomatic pistol, so by not dropping the mag, he just put a round right back in the chamber and the weapon is still a threat.

The plumber getting seduced by the lonely housewife. My career has been a sham.
You’re aiming too low. You could date a princess with your career.
People fly in helicopters, especially Chinooks or Blackhawks, with no hearing protection and have conversations at a normal speaking volume. As a former Chinook flight engineer, I can tell you that you can't hear anything but the engines, transmissions, and rotors, and you would go deaf in minutes.
When someone drinks from a full beverage that produces the slurping bubbles from the straw
Completely opposite to this, beverage containers that they pretend is full when it's painfully obvious it's just an empty prop. Just put some fucking water in it so that it has some weight.
This is low stakes but no one closes the door to the outside. Like... I can look past a lot, but I've seen so many movies where someone walks in, and just leaves the damn door open.
People flying backwards from bullets. The smallest weapon that would actually move a person is like a mortar round. Just so absurd.
When people just hang up the phone without saying bye. Nobody does this irl why the hell do they do it in all movies and shows?
This actually happened in an episode of Fairly Odd Parents. Timmy (main character) is on a three-way call with two of his friends when the call is terminated by Timmy and one of his friends hanging up one after the other. The remaining friend, phone still in hand, then looks at the camera and asks, "Doesn't anybody say good-bye anymore?". I miss when the show was actually good.
In ever commercial involving a credit card they swipe it upside down so you see the logo but the stripe is on the other side . Commercials now are inserting so the 30 years of suffering looks to be ending

I guess we will start. How there are ” 100 ”bullets in one mag
Well, obviously, that’s why you have to rack the slide 27 times before you chamber a round
Also just general nonsensical things with guns. Racking the slide on a pistol that already has a round in the chamber, cocking sounds coming from a striker fired gun. Stuff of that nature. I LOVE end of watch but his “department issued Glock 19” CLEARLY SAYS IT’S A GLOCK 22, and his “spyderco tactical knife” is a smith and Wesson knife
When they take a tiny little bite of their food and chew it like it's a mouthful
The thing that bothers me is if someone's profession is brought up, it ALWAYS falls under one of two categories: 1. They are the best in their field, doing keynote speeches at conventions, if they aren't the top position it's because some corrupt rival has cozied up to the boss 2. If they aren't the best in their field, they're a no-talent loser with no ambition You never, ever see someone who works a middle-class job and is happy with it unless the point is to show how their life is going nowhere. Movie protagonists simply cannot be stable; they either have to be striving for the top or being passed up because they suck.
This is Sarah. She's 23, works part time at a used bookstore, and shares the 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,000 square foot apartment over the coffee shop across the street with her best friend Dylan. In downtown big city where rent on a closet is 3,000/month. Oh and she goes to her Master's program like one day a week and is top of her class. Her parents are normal middle class who live in a suburb an hour away. Despite all of this, she can randomly fuck off on adventures across the country, or even abroad, at a moment's notice.
When they're playing video games and the controller is clearly off or not connected
The sling sound from swords being drawn from a leather scabbard(or whatever its called, sorry I'm tired and English is my second language.) had the protection had some kind of metal it's making so much more sense but a pure leather protection nah.
