Mine is very trivial.I HATE but I absolutely despise when people are carring luggages when there is, obviously nothing in it.
It look impossibily fake.
And in many films to be observed.
Too a-many.
Follow Ups:
Have you ever found any that view like that?
Good point. In fact recently I thought the same!
Some number of years ago, I think it was the Merv Griffin Show, he had most of the 'Bridge' cast of Star Trek on and among the questions asked of them was "what was your least favorite part of being a Star Trek cast member?"They all glanced at each other and began jiggling in their seats, and Leonard Nimoy said "shaking camera scenes"
Cheers
Nice touch! Ha!

Deja vue.
I hate any movie where the premise is someone overcoming adversity. Absolutely hate it.

Into yourself....

Without you I would have missed it for the time beeing.
I will watch, this week, his House of cards, as a signe of sorrow.
One gifted acot less.PS: Have you seen this Dragon film...
it is guaranteed to do an airborne barrel roll.
All the time, every time. Big, loud, bright and fiery. Pulleaze. Find something new.If horses are in a scene, they must all be nickering and neighing. (Horses are actually pretty quiet most of the time.) Horse movies in general make me cringe, as I'm sure most medical dramas make most physicians cringe.
If a man and woman are intimate together in a scene, she's got the clothes off for the camera and he's partially or mostly clothed. NO FAIR!
If the protagonists are being chased, one of them will always fall down. If one of the persons being chased is female, she will fall and also hurt her ankle.
There are more. But that's enough for now.
According to Roger Ebert, every movie has obliglatory chase scene where the hero is chasing the bad guy and a fruit cart/baby cart/shopping cart will be pushed out into the path of the hero thereby grazing the cart and slowing the hero down.In the theaters during the old days, savvy fans would watch for this and always shout out, "FRUIT CART!"
...anything breakable, spillable etc.
... must inevitably explode. It's a Hollywood law, apparently.While I agree with you that cars explode too often, what's even worse is that lately the special effects guys have found a way to propel stationary vehicles straight up into the air 20 or 30 feet as they explode. Since when does that happen in real life?
As far as male vs. female nudity is concerned, the rule (at least in puerile Hollywood) seems to be that displays of female nudity are to be almost exclusively sexually-charged images of very attractive and fit female specimens and male nudity is almost exclusively used in comic or humiliating situations involving unattractive, grotesquely obese, or otherwise unfit male specimens. The exception to this rule seems to be that naked or scantily-clad males that women would normally find physically attractive are presented as homosexual.
Since American audiences have been conditioned this way, Hollywood rarely dares to show male nudity in any intimate scene that is meant to be taken seriously because it becomes a distraction. Not that I want to see more male nudity, mind you. But I can understand how many women resent the double standard (even if they don't recognize as well that constantly treating male nudity as humiliation or a joke could be considered just as much of an insult, directed toward men).
.
Do you have the answer or are you part of the problem?
I am always thinking in my mind about if this or that might be true as they depict it and in general find this a distracting factor for me
Is there nothing these marvelous devices can't do to help a protagonist? Retasked at the drop of a hat. At least in Patriot Games they made a comment along the lines of, "Do you know how hard it is to re task a satellite?" 24, though not a movie, is the single worst culprit in this department by a long shot.The Peacemaker prolly contained the most over the top example of satelliteous miraculousness to date. I believe that was the movie where satellites could track a vehicle by reading its license plates. Think about THAT for a moment. The satellite would have to be no more than 30 degrees above the horizon to have the proper angle to read a license plate on the front or rear of a car. At that angle, atmospheric haze coupled with the sheer mileage (due to satellite being many more hundreds of miles away) would make reading a license plate completely implausible.
"E Burres Stigano"
1. In the very busy city the one and only parking spot right in front of the building the actor is going in.2. Scenes where a small women beats up a much bigger and stronger man - give me a break!!!

I never thought the book could be effectively translated to the screen. Pretty good jo.

Here are a few movie cliches I groan at:- Why did you order that drink?
Only in the movies will people at a bar or restaurant order drinks and then never take even one sip out of them. (I do realize this is often done to make continuity between takes easier, but still...)
- Bathroom hijinks
There was a time not too long ago that people jokingly complained that no one ever went to the bathroom in movies. Seems Hollywood took that criticism seriously. Now you can hardly see a movie without the obligatory man-at-a-urinal shot. Often, complete strangers will strike up "humorously awkward" conversations standing next to each other at the urinal (which of course, always happens in real life). And inevitably, the zipper can not be rezipped without an exagerated motion, such as the man briefly launching himself onto the balls of his feet in the process. For females, the lack of toilet tissue in the stall is such a foregone conclusion that I'm surprised every woman doesn't carry a roll of Charmin in her purse. And of course, the shear number of incidents in which a character manages to inadvertently select the wrong gender's rest room is truly amazing.
- Action movie physics: F=ma for males, F=(m^2)a for females.
In an action movie fight, a 150lb male is weak - always completely out-classed against heavier men. If the 150lb weakling wins the fight, it's only after he is first beaten to a bloody pulp (the bruises, cuts, and abrasions magically heal by the next scene, of course). But, somehow, a 100lb female fashion model can easily overpower a 300lb body builder with arms the size of tree trunks - sometimes kicking him clear across the room or flipping him over her back - without so much as messing her hair. All by using her expertise in the "martial arts".
Buddy, can't you please spare a dime?
- In the movies, characters always seem to have exact change when paying a cashier. Except when they really need exact change for a phone call or a vending machine or something, that is. Then they have only a single dollar bill, which they are inevitably unable to convince a heartless cashier to give them change for unless they buy an item first. Your life is in danger? The clerk doesn't care; you must buy that pack of gum first. Often the "farce" continues as the hapless coin seeker is unable to select an item that will leave him or her sufficient change.

One of nice thing to watch out is also after a long night of sleep (?) the guy wake up without the slighest shadow of a beard.
Or in a hot love scene the woman has a perfect lipstick ..afer..And it was Hitch who has the premiere for showing ( and letting us hear ...) a toilet flushing.
Being forced to watch (on cable or a DVD borrowed from the library) a wide screen film in pan and scan, so called (and mis-named for us wide screen monitor owners) "Full Screen". At least to DVD producers' credit, the vast majority of films on DVD were not dumbed down to this mass appeal VHS level.

...must there also be the obligatory baguette sticking out, but everyone today uses plastic. Geez, what a stupid trope.They do it on TV too.
clark
And of course everyone buys celery, which sticks out at the top of the bag.
but I like the baguette that ...that is taken from the victim and eaten by the assassin in the French Connection
It was a real French baguette from Marseilles...
Even assassins enjoy a good baguette!
Or the one in Woody's "Everyone Says I Love You", which brought roars of delight from French audiences.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.

Yes, that is the ultimative cruelty.
