LOL, It's good to know we have someone standing up for all the retards out there.

My thing is when an expert hacker, driver or whatever kind of talent will be brought in and the character working with them/against them will say, to no one in particular, "This guy is good" as they watch them work.

I think it would just be a Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

1. Shooting at a car to make it explode. Can't happen. 2. Cool guys walking away from something exploding in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqz5dbs5zmo

Inconsistent use of superpowers.

This is actually pretty close to being right...what use is a mouse when every tool you use is command line based or has an ncurses interface? only script kiddies have big fancy impressive GUI interfaces to hacking tools--real hackers just ./tool -option3 since they don't need gigantic semitransparent buttons remind them that options 1 and 2 also exist.


I actually prefer this one.

oh I forgot my favorite. time travelling and staying at the same place. the earth moves you know? and everything else in the universe too, so you will never ever be at the same place again through the whole time ..

The victim and/or witness is taken to the police station after a violent crime. The detective brings the 5-inch thick book of suspects' pictures. On the third page the witness points & explains "That's the guy!"

also the hot rookie with a loose cannon attitude that consistently gets pwned by the antagonistic older team mates and is only sticking around because of the fatherly coach who gives him a pep talk, and he makes the win and the team players welcome him and tell him he's alright.

I have a huge problem with the good guy always winning. Other than a small few--Arlington Road comes to mind--it never lets the bad guy get away with it. More recently, Law Abiding Citizen pissed me off. The line of who was good or bad wasn't even clear. The ending was horrible, Jamie Foxx should have been the dead one.

when the 2 leads are making fornication, at least one of them is always alive. i hate that shit.

when a family sits at a kitchen table all holding handing hands playing thumb wrestling to show that they are NOW not dysfunctional anymore, then all of a sudden one of them gets a call from the secret government operative for an assignment and then his smile from playing the game, quickly turns into a serious frown.

and he's got like huge muscles.

Every time someone comes back from buying groceries they a loaf of italian bread and a stalk of celery sticking out of the top of the bag.

When someone's talking on the phone and they're amazed/shocked by what the person on the other end of the line says, they pull the phone away from their ear and stare at it. Or they hold it front of their face and yell into it.

I didn't bother reading more than the first couple pages of this thread, so my apologies if either of these have been mentioned.

yeah this one is always like this. and it is always a brown traditional paper bag.


they never use plastic bags in the movies like we do. it would be the first if i see a guy in the movie hold several plastic bags of groceries in each hand going home

They are trying to push a green agenda?

I always try to get paper...they look way more classy (and I use them in my trash can...) while a bunch of double bagged sacks of plastic are pretty fugly
