people don't eat in movies/television because of multiple takes.

all of that food is probably cold as fuck, that is if its not entirely inedible

Anything involving beverages in film is always pointless and a waste of time.

>"Would you like a drink?"
>*proceeds to spend 2 minutes talking about an expensive vintage bottle of liquor*

Who gives a shit?

>"AH FUCK, I DON'T HAVE A SIGNAL"
>"AH FUCK, MY BATTERY IS DEAD"

Cellphones ruined the tension of modern horror movies because these dumb lines constantly have to be shoehorned into the script.

All children are scary.
>Implying someone who has a poor understanding of morality and could destroy your life with a word aren't scary

>High octane action scene
>Camera zooms in on characters face
>They smirk

Yeah? I could destroy their lives with my fist

OH SHIT THERE'S NO WIFI
FUCK THIS TREE HAS NO APPLE PAY

I feel the same way about how Capeshit always have to have a throwaway comment explaining why the carnage the superheroes are throwing around is absolutely okay because the area was evacuated or some shit.

This usually happens in animated movies:

>some crazy shit goes down
>characters almost die but are safe now
>moment of silence
>"THAT..... WAS...... AWESOME!!!!!!!!"

Ugh.

>Le epic hacking scene
>Actor is just hammering at the keyboard, making no effort whatsoever to be convincing

>character hangs up phone
>doesn't say bye

>Character picks up phone
>Immediately starts parroting what the person on the other side says, for no reason
>"What's that? You think that..."

Fuck right off with that you poorly executed fucks

Roger Ebert Glossary:

>No scene showing a class in session ever lasts more than five minutes. Even the most stimulating session is invariably interrupted by the bell.

holy fuck i hate this so much

Watch the first Spider-Man again and you'll see how bizarre it was in retrospect.

But that's real life

Name 5 films.

>Implying someone who has a poor understanding of morality and could destroy your life with a word aren't scary

If I could avoid children 100% for the rest of my life I would.

Little fucks.

Any 5 Spike Lee joints except for Old Boy

I'm disgusted by autistic fredposters. I bet you all smell awful.

Do kids in america genuinely run out the class when the bell goes? In bong you don't leave until the teacher dismisses the class, it doesn't matter if they're running over.

Most of the time the teacher is done with lesson early and you have time to do whatever you want. But if they do go over you have to stay.

LOL no,
People don't eat because the food has to look the same in multiple shots and if they touch it's gonna look different

As much as the first two seasons of The OC are funny and good, they really are notorious for that.

>a character is in coma
>people are in the room talking about the situation
>coma-person conveniently awakes when there is natural pause in the discussion or when they've just revealed that one important plot point

Do americans really do this? arent you afraid of niggers?

they dont fucking eat because no one wants to watch people chew for 10 minutes god DAMN you guys are fucking autistic

Why aren't there any hulking big guy ghosts. They'd be scary.

Tell that to Maupassant.

Over-explanation of superpowers and details involving how one hero beats another is so fucking irritating to me.

>THANK SCIENCE HIS X WAS DOWN OTHERWISE Y WOULD HAVE BEEN USELESS

My rage over this detail has reached the point where I just laugh maniacally whenever this happens.

I've never locked my door ever. That seems so weird to me.

In Brazil we just don't do it because all of our classes are in one room, and we only have one break.

And there's one shared tootbrush in each family and you have to walk uphills both ways to go to school.

I feel like the 80s and 90s traumatized you

That's the second reason aspie, the first reason is for continuity sake. Continuity triumphs realism. I work at a tv show faggot

I'm not even a /k/ fag but I hate when inexperienced shooters can fucking hit ridiculous targets accurately.

I've shot a gun once and I was inaccurate as cock

>firefight

I'm sick of normal human antagonists being able to magically disappear.

>character sees enemy staring at them across the street
>bus passes by, obstructing the view for a second
>enemy is now gone

nah, fuck you.

Before that it was ''AH FUCK, THE PHONE LINE IS CUT''

>serene music played ironically against a chaotic action sequence in slow motion

I hate the word "tropes." It's usage has become as douchey as "production values" and "character development."

Now, in most cases, it gives the impression of an amateur trying to appear professional.

Smiley Face, Mad Men, and Six Feet Under all have realistic bits about the unpleasantness of getting way too stoned.

You sound like a massive douche yourself, so I don't think you're the best person to be talking about this.

OP here, I just couldn't think of another term.

Thanks for not disagreeing.

>it gives the impression of an amateur trying to appear professional.

except it doesn't. it's a complete non-industry term that's used by amateur critics to discuss clichés using a non-pejorative term

>ape is incapable of understanding what its like to have a job

>character says fuck in the movie
>it's bleeped
