Badly performed CPR. Extra point if it's surprisingly/unrealistically/impossibly effective.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Agreed, but you can't do real CPR on a live person.

They should just not show it. Plenty of opportunities for cuts in a scene where CPR is necessary.

When they need a bit of blood for a pact or to prove they are human and they USE THEIR HAND - dude. So many ligaments and tendons in there you could accidentally cut not to mention it hurts super hard and you can just use your fleshy forearm instead and still be able to grab things afterwards with less of an issue. I know it's because it's easier to hide the fake blood and smear but you can just as easily do that on your forearm.

Sex scenes. Usually opening the door while passionately kissing and hastily undressing. So boring, i fast forward

Killing animals

Women having no function other than being a brainless stereotype

The black or asian guy dies

American movies not hiring actual actors who natively speak a foreign language

Wilhelm scream. It was cute in like 2007 when the internet called attention to it, and now it’s in everything and is no longer funny or interesting.

the wilhelm scream. FUCK the wilhelm scream

I just think of it like a funny little easter egg tbh.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile

When the scene is incredibly quiet because they want to make one moment seem even louder than it actually is

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

People just walking by someone "hiding" by pressing against a wall. May work occasionally in real life, but most of the time you catch someone out of your peripheral vision, and it triggers a reaction.

[–] chowdertailz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As someone who is a bartender, almost any scene in a bar in any show or movie. I swear it gives people bad habits about how bars actually work.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Example? Geniunly interested.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

People magically get drinks, often without ordering or waiting and then don't pay. Also overly vague orders, there's probably near 10 options for a "whiskey neat" at your average bar, but there's never a clarification.

Bad foreign languages. It always annoys me when an actor is pretending to be fluent in a language while it's obvious that they're not. And not just for the main actors, sometimes even the extras sound like confused tourists working their way through a phrase book.
It's most likely because the movie was filmed somewhere other than on location, but it still annoys me.

"Creepy head tilt to the side" in horror. It's not scary anymore.

People being tied up with ropes that are an inch in diameter. That's not how knots work!

handycam overuse. I don't care how good the writing, fx, or character development is, I'll stop watching if it's seemingly abused.
