Unrealistic things in movies that annoy you

[Darkweather]

All bombs must be fitted with a large countdown timer which stops within three seconds of detonation when a particular wire is cut. Bomb wires must be color coded to rules laid down by an international standards body so the hero can be instructed to cut the red or blue wire while sweating profusely. Bomb makers are strictly forbidden from using the same colored wire for the entire circuit.

agree with this, with the exception of Dark Star where there was an intelligent bomb fitted with what we would now call AI and so had to be reasoned with to be defused. It didn't end well

Oooooh. Time travel.

I don't object to the time travel itself. But that's probably a can o' worms for another thread. Also, as a caveat, I don't believe we will EVER send a person back in time. But I love time travel movies. And most of them get it wrong.

Yes! so many wrong things about how time travel is done in movies!


My particular hate though is when people are using tech stuff - there are never any lags, buffering, crashes, updates needed and passwords never ever need double authentication or biometric checks and can be cracked easily. lol

Not so much movies. But I hate the turned up fake audience laughter in today's sitcoms

no one ever needs to pee mid-scene. Like wow, cinematic bladders are elite.

True but I think there are 2 points here.

1. Screen time is valuable and who wants to use it on this?
2. Remember kate winslet in Titanic who would have spent long days in wet clothing? Could you imagine removing that when she needed a pee?

I'll let this one slide.

Fair. But imagine the deleted scene: Kate mid-swoon going, ‘Jack… I need to tinkle.’and Jack, being the gentleman he is, just holding her hand dramatically while she waddles off in 17 layers of historically accurate dampness.

That would be a hot scene, removing all those layers for her to pee but it would have taken half the movie.

Your point is taken that no way did Jack Bauer go 24hrs without a pee.

Do we have AI movies in a few years?

Can there be any doubt at this point?

BTW, is Blade Runner set after some massive climate change?! It does not rain like that in LA!

It's a weird minor detail, but usually it's the over-dramatization of computer operation. Like a hacker is pounding away at a keyboard in a command line environment, arcane Linux commands ticking by at a mile a minute on a green monochrome screen. And that's all good.

At some point the hacker gets through and instantly everything on the screen is a cartoon. "Warning! You are about to delete the world's entire banking system! Civil Unrest Will Ensue!!!1!! Are you SURE you want to continue (y/n)?!?"

I don't know about other couples, but the whole sleeping the whole night in one another's arms just doesn't work for me and my wife. We both eventually get too warm and need to adjust lol.

 

[Bloodandglitter]

Why doesn't anyone turn a light on when they come inside their house or apartment at night?!

 

[NaughtyNog]

When they jump out of a plane and then conveniently end up back in the plane!
