What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[(Anonymous)]

What are your favorites?

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

Hacking.

It's not five seconds of tapping - "I'm in!"
It's five seconds of tapping, and realizing that the code you spent an hour testing yesterday doesn't run today.

Haha I think movie hacking is hilarious. Especially in sci-fi type scenarios, where characters can be dropped in the middle of some kind of super advanced virtual reality program and instantly know how to hack it in a few minutes. Amazing.

For all the unrealistic things about Watch Dogs 2, I love how the easiest way to hack something is often to physically use it because no one properly secured it. "This is why we love the folks who click 'remember me' on the password screen."

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

ANY computer stuff in movies. All this 'tap tap tap' - normal people use a mouse sometimes, you know!

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[analise]

I will NEVER GET OVER the time I watched (part of) an episode of CSI Cyber and these two people both used THE SAME KEYBOARD so they could do stuff faster. At the same time.

Hacking is not like playing Chopsticks together on the piano, guys.

This is really minor but whenever there's a scene of someone driving, I always end up wanting to yell at them to watch the road. They spend way too much time looking away at the other people in the car.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[morieris]

Ooh, I hate that too.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[tabaqui]

YES!! Omg.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

I have been driven in cars by people who do that. I once got told be a friend I shouldn't worry because they had 20/40 peripheral vision. I'm sure that isn't even a thing.

These days I always volunteer as Designated Driver.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[(Anonymous)]

Ahaha, yes. I do this, too :p.

I love it in old films, when you see the obvious green screening of somebody driving down a road, and they're turning the wheel at times while the road behind them is straight as can be :p.

Movie science and move medicine are silly enough as it is, but movie psychology is actually the worst fucking thing in the world.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

In horror movies, characters that don't even try to keep safe. Some of their decisions are just ridiculous.

Monster actively trying to kill everyone in your family? Let's all sleep in separate rooms! Including the kid brother; he'll be fine all alone in his room.

Monster can only move in darkness and is weak to light? One flashlight is probably enough.


If I honestly thought a demon or ghost was after me, I would do everything possible to defend myself.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[tabaqui]

Yes yes yes. Have everybody be smart and do it right and the monster *still* gets them - that's a much better movie.

The way movies handle unemployment. It is almost never portrayed as the deeply exhausting never ending slog to find new employment that it actually is. Movie characters walk in and out of jobs with ease, and if they do spend any time unemployed it is on a couch watching tv and enjoying it. That isn't how unemployment works

Also legal crap. I'm no legal eagle, but even I recognize when the "hero" ought to be going to jail and has tanked any possible case against the villain.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

[tabaqui]

I don't know a single woman who goes out to her car (in a big parking lot, a dark street, or underground lot) fumbling for her keys in a huge bag. Every single woman i know ( and a few guys), carry their keys in their hand. I *hate* that.

Also, pets that apparently need no care. If you can't deal with realistic animal care in your story, don't introduce a cute puppy or quirky cat. Sheesh.

Don't get me started on IVs and no catheters in hospital situations....

Favorite? Um. All the big, beautiful houses that unemployed artists can afford. Totally wrong, but what fun to see them.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

Least favorite: psychology. Like, the movie industry still clings to the idea of patients lying on couches and having a Freudian psychotherapy session where they talk about dreams and shit. I'd love to see a movie actually portray hard, evidence-based, treatment-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Also least favorite: action women, who are still stick-skinny 90 pound ladies. Like, can't we get female action heroes who look like Ronda Rousey? Like they actually have the bulk and strength to destroy their opponents? It just feels so fake, and even condescending to me, like they're saying women aren't strong so we might as well make them "sexy" and have them do these stupid scenes in heels, where the male characters actually look like they can fight.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

I don't know if I'm describing this right, but the casual way mass destruction is handled. You see exploding buildings and cities and ships and whatnot and it's explodey and cool and the audience knows to parse this as a nominal terrible event, but movies rarely give it a very down-to-earth kind of tragedy. Once in a while you'll get a character screaming about their love interest possibly being in the exploding building, sure, but you never see like, the little old lady desperately searching the wreckage for her elderly cat that was the only friend she has left in the world and saying she doesn't know why anybody would do this.

I wish they would. It'd take like five seconds and make movie villains immediately seem a lot more horrible. Fancy scenes of giant wrecks are cool and majestic, I guess, but kind of lazy and impersonal

Mine is so silly in comparison to everyone else's but food fights in high school and middle school. In my school, if one kid had thrown food at someone else the teachers would have swooped down on them immediately, and if it did escalate to the point that it does in the movies, we'd be punished. At the very least, we'd be the ones cleaning the cafeteria.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

Least favorite is whenever people are underwater and 1) are capable of holding their breath for up to ten minutes despite panicking in a life-or-death situation, and 2) are able! to see! every! little! thing! in! perfect! detail!

My favorite unrealistic thing is when people return to the scene shortly after receiving some crazy injury, and are able to function at 100%, kicking ass and taking names and all that. But mostly because it cracks me up.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

You know that thing where people get hurled across room into a wall, usually at least three or four feet up a wall, and sometimes its a wall covered in ceramic tiles even in places where tiled walls are out of place just so tiles can smash cinematically into a little impact crater, then they drop hard onto the floor, and then they get up just fine? Yeah, those people should be dead. Or at least crippled. When movie makers started using that, yeah it was fine, cool looking, and badass because it was unusual, but now it is just such a perfunctory and stock part of each and every fight scene that it is just so dull and boring that it highlights its lack of realism. I'd be more impressed with a fight scene if it didn't include that move now.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

I hate how in Movie/TV School, students seem to have the run of the place - every lab and equipment room and storage closet - without supervision, and a lot of unstructured time during the school day (like, people show up way early or stays way late with no regards to school bus schedules, or everyone has a free period or can go wherever they want in the building during lunch).

I also hate that students are never shown going to school in the morning when it's still dark out.

When people are wearing prop glasses and it's really, really obvious from the reflections that the lenses are perfectly flat. You can make non-perscription glasses with curve to the lens (just look at non-perscription sunglasses and safety glasses) so I don't understand why the prop glasses need to be flat. The flashes of light glinting off of them are so obvious and distracting.

Also: everyone puts on reading glasses to do ~*Brainy Things*~ like reading or using a computer, even when they are quite young and therefore much less likely to need reading glasses IRL. And, of course, the reading glasses have flat lenses.

Not-Deadpool's stupid arm katanas from Wolverine: Origins.

I could believe everything else about that thing, but the full arm length katanas...nope. He should have had penguin arms until he unsheathed them.

Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

I don't know if there's a name for this, but basically every action scene in the Hobbit movies. Legolas hopping across the falling rocks is the most egregious example, but those movies were filled with characters running along falling things that just happen to align with other falling things, or fall at the exact right angle, or barrels that are floating in the water in the exact right spot to catch them when they fall into them. if this was a video game, it'd be fun to play. but as a movie I want everyone involved in the production to die.
