- 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.

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 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. |

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 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. |

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. 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. http://www.historynet.com/korean-war-first...ktong-bulge.htm QUOTE 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! |
