A female character that Shows her breasts more than twice in a horror or slasher movie always gets killed.

What kills me the most is over exaggerated explosions and gunshot wounds.

I'm sorry, but a person who get shot below the rib cage and slight to the side... Will NOT die in the next 5 minutes. A person who get shot in the throat however WILL die in the next 5 minutes. Unless he can somehow give himself an emergency tracheal bypass.

Grenades don't rely on explosive power to kill you. It's the tiny bits of metal inside flying in all directions at the speed of a bullet that will. And no, a pine wood table will not save you from a grenade that's 5 feet away. You're plain screwed.

If a gas tank catches fire in a movie...it doesn't matter how much fuel is in it, it will cause everything within a city block to go up in flames. If you were in that city block...you just happened to get sent flying outside of the explosion and only experience slight scratches and bruises.

If a car crashes into a wall at more than 25 mph it will explode and instantly burn up anyone inside. But if you WANT to crash into a wall at 60 mph, it just send the passenger, who decided not to wear a seatbelt, through the windshield. Which of course only will only knock him out and scratch up his face a little.

My brother's personal favorite: If you steal a car, it will just happen to have a full tank of gas. Even though you stole the crappiest old ford you could find which was owned by the guy living in a house with no furniture... It's gas tank will not be on E. And you won't run out of gas 120 miles and a 2 hour car chase later.

If you go to investigate a strange noise, you won't feel the need to grab the steel baseball bat sitting next to you to go check it out. Cuz you know that just by showing your face that silly robber will get scared and run wink2.gif

And it's SOOO freakin easy to hide in the completely empty backseat of a car in broad daylight without the owner of the car noticing while they're unlocking the door and getting in.

*Sigh* ...I've seen too many movies lol

Actually, if the bag/box is nothing but c4... that's possible.


Oh, and another thing I forgot. Thing that will make me start cursing obscenities like crazy... People who are too f@#$ing stupid to get some f@#$ing medical attention.

Prime example: The Invisible. *Warning, Contains a teaser, so if you wanna watch this movie stop reading.*

I actually liked this movie. I liked it up to the last 10 minutes or so. But then when the chick get's shot in that spot I talked about in my last post... she (surprisingly) doesn't die right away. But she goes to the hospital to see the boy lying in a coma. Which is where the problems started...

1) Two people see that she's bleeding from the stomach and the do NOTHING.
2) She does nothing to try to stop the bleeding.
3) She spends 10 minutes explaining to the guys mom why she's there. And the mom doesn't get a doctor...
4) She goes and lays down to a guy who's in a coma, finally hooked up to life support machines, and instead of going to get a doctor for herself... SHE LAYS THERE AND DIES!
5) HE DOESN'T EVEN HIT THE NURSE CALL BUTTON TO SAVE HER!

Girls having pillow fights in log cabins or colleges and giggling like little school girls.


This is one of those movie annoyances I just don't get!
why do they feel the need to have them and do you ladies actually do that.

^ you seen Urban Legend 3: Bloody Mary? there's a really pathetic one that they tried to make look sexy, complete with girly squeals and lots of lower body shots of them in their revealing underwear. My sister and I watch just for that part and laugh so hard. It is so random and pointless.

People who leave their homes and do not lock the front door first - you can tell this when they get a visitor knocking on the door later on and because nobody answers they just walk right on in - going "Hello, hello? Anybody in?"



I know people that do that...

I don't know about the other females on here, but I know the 3 times in my life that I've gotten into pillowfights I WAS a school girl! Like 8. As far as past the age of 13 into college, my girlfriends and I would look at you like you were nuts if you tried to start one. Really, who has them past the age of 10?

-When a guy gets a gun knocked out of his hand, and it lands an arm's reach away. The bad guy comes in and ignores the gun and instead beats the good guy. Then when the good guy gets the bad guy down, he also ignores the gun, and decided to just beat the bad guy to a pulp, instead of easily pulling a trigger to finish him off.

-Too many movies that take place in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Why are there so many? Not all of these movies are bad, it just seems like they couldn't find a good enough place to set it in, so they just choose Manhattan, which most of these movies make it seem like it's the only part of NYC. When are we going to see more of Chicago or Philadelphia, or other New York boroughs in movies?

-Now this annoyance wasn't in many movies, just one. In Die Hard 2, terrorists take over Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport on Christmas Eve. Now, when they take control of Dulles, they also shut off the runway lights, making it impossible for the pilots of the planes to see anything, since it was night time, and there was a blizzard. But why couldn't the Dulles control tower just tell the planes to contact the nearest airport so they could try and land there when the control tower was talking to the planes? Instead, they just circle around the airport like a bunch of idiots and let their fuel run out, or in one crase, let the terrorists crash them into the ground.

-Exploding vehicles. Back to Die Hard 2, when the terrorists were going to crash the British plane into the runway, one of them says that the fuel tank was "drier than a matini." When they contact the pilot pretending to be the tower, the pilot says they were "running on petrol fumes." So why does the plane cause such a huge explosion when it crashes. It should have just skid off the runway. A few years ago, a plane skid off the runway at Midway Airport here in Chicago, but that didn't explode. Also, in Final Destination 2, in the pile-up sequence, notice that almost all cars that hit ot get hit by something explode into a fireball. Whether it's the guy that gets hit by the garbage truck, ot the small car that crashed into the log, or cars that were exploding in the background. It's like all the cars had holes in the gas tanks and were spilling fuel all over the highway.

When it takes too long for the bad guys to die.. I was watching live free or darh hard yesterday and the asian woman could never die until she fell but it took too long!

Timers on bombs in movies.

Has anyone noticed that when you see a bomb timer on a movie counting down it takes twice as long to count down.

Example: The timer is set on ten seconds but when the heroes are running away to escape before the blast goes off the timer takes about 20 seconds before it blows.

my biggest pet peeve ? in a theater , having to share or give up the arm rests ! me and my sister would fight over having to share one if it was crowded.

sticky floors !!! just disgusting.

people who bring crying kids to movies not for kids.

people who talk on cell phones. ssshhhhh

sOME theatres i go to have stale popcorn!!!!! Ewww

As someone who works at a cinema/theatre, I can tell you that some of the time the popcorn is actually leftover from the day(s) before, it's packed away in bags and then re-used. To most people it isn't that noticable, but I rarely buy popcorn when I go to the movies because I don't like the idea of eating leftover popcorn.
InHuman
Who buys anything at the theater, honestly, the prices are bull..

Me and my friends just sneak food in (a few jumbo bags of chips, pizza boxes, litres of coke and whatnot)
NatalieK
^ good idea, most people do (myself included). When I'm working in candy bar I'm amazed at how many people are willing pay the outrageous prices for such low quality food (and trust me, it's very low quality).

onmovies when they say "ill call you" but they dont exchange numbers so how do they call eachother?

I just noticed another thing... Why is it every satelite that gets used in movies is always pointed away from earth until someone's activating a death ray or track device or whatever?! If it was originally used to transmit CNN... it would be facing earth...SO IT CAN TRANSMIT CNN!

Ok...so it's really minor, but still.

I think you might find that at most cinemas.

There were a couple of girls at the one near me who were thrown out because all they did was talk and giggle like idiots and talk on their phones which ruins the movie for everyone else.
NatalieK
I'm the mean worker at my theatre - the moment word gets to me that there's someone on a phone, someone smoking a cigarette, or someone eating smelly hot food, I'm there. I love kicking people out. We also have couples fooling around - the other day my co-worker and I walked into a cinema to clean (we go in just before credits start and wait because we wanna finish asap and get home). So we walked in on some girl doing something very, ahem, naughty to her boyfriend. They both got a fright and I just said to the guy, you're gonna have to finish this outside buddy rolleyes.gif cause like we're gonna stand around outside the cinema and wait til they're done. They were adults as well. Seriously, can't people just watch a friggin' movie and wait til they get home for everything else? like I wanna be cleaning up that crap [/rant]

^ lol to that story

But yeah i hate phone people they should have their phone broken

LOL! I really enjoyed this thread!
Things that annoy me.

Product placement in films. Just watched (Not so) Fantastic Four Silver Surfer this weekend. The product placement in that film was so bad that I felt like I was watching an Infomercial rather than a movie.

Terrible remakes. Guess who, the remake of Guess who's coming to Dinner. Of the original it's a four star film the remake (a comedy? blink.gif ) is obviously a low brow teen film. thumbdown.gif
This is just one of many that annoy me.

In theaters, people who eat loudly. Popcorn isn't a quiet food, chewing it with your mouth open (like it's your last meal) drives me up the wall.

People who feel that it's necessary to tell/explain the plot while they are watching it. Look if I want that I'll wait and get the directors cut with commentary. This happened during Lord of the Rings/Return of the King. Some dipstick sat behind us and brought a grocery bag (I kid you not a grocery bag) full of food to feed his family out of. As though all the chomping and smacking of the snacks wasn't bad enough he had (although how he managed is beyond me) to tell his daughter how the movie was differing from the book and what the story was about. We asked him a couple of times to please be quiet and I felt like asking him at the end of the movie to give me the money we'd shelled out to see it so that I could watch it with out his interruptions.

Kicking the seat in front of you, especially when I'm the one that's sitting in it.

What I do like is when the whole audience is transported or moved by a film. Saw that during V for Vendetta. this big old bear of a man, sitting next to me, was openly crying during the 'love letter' part. wub.gif
Or the kids that were SO well mannered and thrilled by the exploits of Harry Potter.

Regards,
Mabon.

At the movies:
Cell phones...at least put them on silent or vibrate for corn's sake...
People who actually talk on cell phones...
People who want to carry on a conversation during the film...
People who kick the back of my seat constantly, or use it for a foot rest...

In the movies:
The evil twin switcharoo thing...it has been done to DEATH...
Sex scenes, they can be so gratuitous... (I don't like them at all, but seriously, some movies might as well be soft *spam filter*...)
Other stuff I can't think of...dang it.

laugh.gif I totally know what you mean! (In my case) it's always the 45 year old fat guy who, even though there are TONS of other seats, plants himself right behind me, and proceeds to make comments (to himself, I assume, since no one else is with him) the WHOLE FREAKING FILM! Gah! I wanna turn around and scream at him, "Shut the h*** up! No one cares about your opinion!" angry.gif

I know what you mean..


I hate it when there are plenty of seats available and people decide to sit in front of little kids so they can not see.

I hate it when people decide to have a giant hair style then sits in front of me or my partner.

I hate people who cannot stop talking in a movie.

I hate dippy teens who feel the need to keep kicking the back of my seat

I hate it when people go to the cinema and try and use it as a excuse to try and fondle their girlfriends chest and all you can hear is the girl telling him off or Giggling like a smurf on prozac.

I hate people who have to point out how something in a movie is impossible.

And I really hate when in a cinema watching a movie people feel the urge to tell you how they would have done things in a movie like how to save the princess without alerting the demon hamster.

In horror movies where the victim ALWAYS goes out to investigate that noise or scream and then ends up dead.

I don't know anyone who would go out on their own in the dark to check out a strange noise.


Wow....Your lucky.lol
I know alot of people like that. They maybe idiots but they are my idiots. On the bright side if it were a horror movie while the killer was killing them for foolishly going to investigate I could get away. tongue.gif

What things featured in movies annoy you the most?

The things that irritate me are:

People who put on crash helmets but NEVER do them up and drive off at the speed of light, straps from the crash helmet waving about frantically!

People who get out of their cars and go into shops of offices and leave the keys in the ignition and NEVER lock the car door - are they not scared someone will nick their vehicle??

People who leave their homes and do not lock the front door first - you can tell this when they get a visitor knocking on the door later on and because nobody answers they just walk right on in - going "Hello, hello? Anybody in?"

People who arrive home late at night and go indoors, walk around WITHOUT first turning on a light!

People who are running away from somebody, crashing through a door or climbing out of a window, BUT never shutting it again after them - prime way for somebody following them to know exactly where they have escaped from!
