Annoyingly unrealistic things people do in movies? Options

[effowelaSpobe]

- Live in incredible apartments with balconies and rooftop gardens or insane custom homes with walls of windows and 2000 sq ft kitchens, while working as an intern at some generic trendy-looking office.

- Not looking where they're driving. Sometimes they've got their head turned to the passenger for about 5 or more seconds, which makes me tense up, waiting for them to crash. If I ever look away for more than a second, I'm already starting to swerve gently off course.

- Medieval people with good contemporary haircuts, clean clothes, nice teeth, tasteful make-up, good health and good manners.

hahahahah. yes. i hate when the people in movies dont need to look and drive. and that the medieval have really good oral hygiene.

i hate slash killing movies where the main killer never dies, or takes a hundred bullets and two severed limps before he finally dies. they also have an impressive ability to avoid all the bullets sent their way. i mean, seriously? same with some movie heroes. they just dont die.

but every other unimportant persons dies from bullets, naturally.

oh, and the fact that wearing a vest instantly makes you invincible. whut.

spam url? O____O


I hate it when there are fights at the movies, and people decide it's "cool" to all go huddle up to the place and just watch people go at each other. Srsly.

gun fu

You know what I mean, jumping around and shooting jet-li style, dual-wielding pistols (especially when they're some ridiculous caliber like .454 casull or .50AE), holding a pistol one handed (same issue with caliber)

And don't forget deflecting bullets with swords.

^technically, its been proven that a katana could cut through a bullet

[datass]

katanas can cut through anything

[heyo-captain-jac...]

^technically, its been proven that a katana could cut through a bullet

if you aim the bullet at the blade, sure, but I'm talking a bullet is flying towards your protagonist's face and he just moves the katana in front of the bullet and stops it with the broad side of the sword.

And no, katanas can't cut through everything. Katanas are relatively poor swords that are ludicrously famous because of Ninjas (who never actually used them anyway) and anime.

If you want a good sword, you need to look into Spathas and Claymores.

There's literally nothing more unattractive than a guy who lectures people about swords.

It's like a real-life Dwight. You might as well debate about bears too.

[mipadi]

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

[kryogenix]

talking animals

come on man everyone knows animals can't talk

f*ck disney

[Blyat]

Or people fighting and they barely bleed
very unrealistic cons to fighting in movies

When they speak English in movies when they aren't supposed to. I mean it's obvious that it's for the film, but it bothers me so much.

I agree on this.

[brooklyneast05]

movies that are like in egypt or somewhere like that and the whole cast is white.

white power

I can't remember which, but in one of the old Superman films, there's a guy shooting at Superman with a gun and the bullets are hitting Superman in the chest. And then when the guy runs out of bullets, he throws the gun at Superman and Superman ducks out of the way.

I mean obviously at the time, they didn't have the technology, and throwing the prop gun probably would have hurt, but how does that even make sense.

^ LMFAO

[slipper]

^ lmfao x 2!!

kinda off topic, but i hate when someone playing dead sucks at hiding that they're breathing. i always try and catch their stomach moving from breathing, or an eyelash flicker.

See this is the shit I'm talking about.

There's a movie with with a guy from outer space with super strength, ability to fly, heat vision running around with a cape and underwear on the outside. And you're cool with that. But when someone THROWS A GUN, you go ZOMG UNREALISTIC!!!!11111one

Ironically, throwing stuff at your enemies is based on real life...

Yeah, I know it's from Saving Private Ryan, but it's nice to have a visual in different context, and people actually threw shit at their enemies in wars.

Almost at once, the five men were set upon from all sides by enemy soldiers, who quickly overwhelmed and disarmed the Americans. Determined not to be captured, Korgie threw his helmet into the midst of the North Koreans and yelled, 'Let's go, Ed!'

And I'm not just calling you out personally or anything, everyone does it. It's just lulzy to me that people can suspend their belief for ridiculous shit like space aliens and mutants, but for things like say, a nerdy guy gets the hot chick, people say THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE!

Ugh yes, also when their eyes move too and it's so obvious.

lol I know, I wasn't referring to the fact that him throwing the gun was unrealistic (because hell, if I ran out of bullets I'd throw the gun too), I was just pointing out that Superman ducked. I don't understand why they felt the need to have him duck after just receiving 30 bullets to the chest.

I get that being an alien wearing underwear and all that is unrealistic altogether too haha
