TV & Film Stuff in movies and on TV that bothers you

I didn't see that version, but that version looks somehow slightly more entertaining than the one I saw. The one I saw had them breaking his legs off screen with a very fake-sounding loud crunch and him yelling, "Aghhhh MY LEG! Aghhh my OTHER leg!!!" which was an odd mixture of being so disturbing and awful that it was funny in an annoying why-am-i-watching-this-movie way.Nicolas Cage was good in Raising Arizona. I also remember liking Lord of War, Matchstick Men, and Adaptation. And I'm a sucker for treasure hunt/puzzle type movies so I enjoyed National Treasure; it was fun.
But he has definitely done some pretty bad movies, too.
Also, I haven't seen Ghost Rider but Ghost Rider 2 was another awful film of his. I tried to convince my family to see something else but didn't believe me about Nicolas Cage, so I went into it expecting a comedy and laughed through most of it while my mom complained about how awful it was and what she was thinking when she thought it'd be good with him in it.
Also, it bugs me when people eat on TV and movies because it makes me hungry.

When somebody is on the run and needs a disguise so they steal some clothing, either from a clothesline or from a store or something, the clothing usually fits perfectly. 
And, I know I posted this in the VB version of my thread, and I can't remember if it's posted in this one, but when somebody needs to fly out of the country really fast, they always manage to have a valid passport handy. They don't stop to check to see if they have a valid passport, or a passport at all. Somehow they manage to travel from country to country without one.
And now that I think about it, when someone needs to leave the country really fast, they apparently already have a bag packed with everything they'll need for the trip. Nobody is ever seen packing when they have to leave, like, REALLY fast.
When an old person confronts an alien creature and you're sitting there going "Back away and don't touch it!" and of course he touches it. For reference see the original version of The Blob.

It really bugs me in one of the last scenes of Breaking Dawn part 2...they have made Bella look as beautiful as possible the whole way thru the film, then she walks onto the scene with her hair and make up not done and it also looks like they forgot to dress her! Awful! Xxx

Waht they do with actors bladders bother's me.
You can see films in which actors start as children and end up old and wrinkly but never once in their lifetime need to go for a pee.
That and the prevalence of omni proganda techniques that crop up in just about about any programme/film you will ever see.
I never actualy watched 'Babe' but I'll lay a million pounds to a penny on this; Nothing that would ever cause the kiddies to link piggies with bacon ever cropped up in that film once.

Oh yeah, you know what really bugs me? When characters are seen as being so angry they throw their phone or beeper against a wall or to the ground, smashing the thing to bits. I could never do that to my phone; I depend on it too much. Plus, a lot of us can't afford to go smashing our phones to bits and then buying a new one every time we have a meltdown. That's why seeing that kind of thing in the movies really offends me.

When a character is seen opening a gift, they whisk the gift wrap off quite easily in two seconds flat. Does this really happen in real life? Every person I've ever known who unwraps a gift takes FOREVER to do it. And they struggle to get the paper off.

Related to that, more often than not the gifts are in boxes that the top and bottom are wrapped separately and then put together and maybe tied with a ridiculously soft ribbon that the character just unties and then lifts off the lid of the box. Easy peasy. But who really does that? And why not? It's awesome!

Unrealistic, though I suppose more of a time constraint thing than anything. It's funny how even the smallest experiences in video editing can expose you to why filmmakers do these types of things.

When something happens in an episode that's never brought up again, and you're just supposed to forget about it. Like when a dog is adopted or something and then just never shows up again, not even in the background or in references or anything.

This is literally the entirety of Glee.

Okay, every time I see somebody using a laptop in a movie or on TV, the monitor is placed straight up. This really bothers me. I cannot place my laptop monitor straight up. I'd have to crane my neck back in order to see the screen. I always have my monitor at an angle so I can see everything. As far as I'm concerned, showing a laptop monitor straight up is a dead giveaway that the actor isn't really looking at the screen, but probably mentally rehearsing his or her next lines.

Or, when someone is playing a video game that you recognize and it has the wrong sound effects or the wrong features are attributed to it.

Now, if you also pause the tv to see which browser and what tabs are open whenever there is someone using a computer onscreen, you may be my son's clone. Similar threads
