crime is investigated and doctors treat people
And no one is suspicious if I sit in a car outside their home for 7 hours. Eventually crawling away with a tyre squeal.
PUT. SOMETHING. IN THE FUCKING CUPS.
Beans, orbies, just make special weighted cups for sets. No actor in the history of acting has picked up an empty paper coffee cup and gestured with it as if it had something in it.
And while we’re at it… in this the year two thousand and twenty five, how do we still not have prop ice that floats?
When there’s a countdown in a movie where something must be done before it’s finished but the entire scene takes longer than the countdown.
Namek exploding intensifies
Mostly tv shows I’ve noticed this, but all the sets and homes look impeccable. Not a speck of dust, not a hint of mess. Even in shows where kids live in the home. Everyone JUST got their hair trimmed, they wear pants at home and always pop in on each other. But the lack of mess is maddening.
Also in period movies and shows, even the peasants are always wearing clean clothes
I was watching sopranos and they have a maid walking around which is nice, it explains the neat house. But when Tony moved out, his place is covered in newspapers, pizza boxes, beer bottles, etc. I like that kind of attention to detail
For a similar reason, I’ve gotten a kick out of the back seat shots in Bluey:
They do (mostly) keep the house surprisingly clean, though
Scientists doing everything and coming up with ideas on their own without any assistants or collaboration. They are also somehow mad genius experts on every field, like they are also physicist, biologist and engineer all in one. Most scientists in real life are specialist because it is impossible to be a generalist. There are also no such thing as home laboratories. You can’t work in an uncontrolled and unregulated environment because it affects not just results of experiments, but health and safety is a major issue if things go awry.
Similarly, when a movie scientist/engineer insists a thing can’t be done, until an authority figure chews them out/threatens them. Then, there’s suddenly a breakthrough.
There’s other ways the person in charge can help!
Yeah I have sometimes the feeling that stuff like this is rubbed of to real executives/managers who e.g. think a small team of programmers can achieve a big application in a manner of days or something…
There are “home labs” but they’d be on par with the more interesting youtubers like Cody or Styropyro. Not a Tony Stark situation.
One of the many things that annoys me about the sitcom Big Bang Theory is that as pedantic as Sheldon is, not once does he ever complain to Penny about the lack of headrests in her car. You’d think he’d refuse to ride until she replaced them. Totally immersion breaking.
You after cars in movies, if they actually had a crash:
Texting someone? This is the first time you’re doing it. No text history ever.
Doing something that requires a thing? That thing is always new and fresh and has never been used because its a fucking prop.
Just lots of unrealistic things benign things in movies I never noticed when I was younger. Now it just pisses me off for some reason.I have automatic chat deletion, so mine chats are empty
My biggest pet peeve is how fucking rude people are getting off the phone in movies. They just hang up.
I mean I yearn for that world but am painfully aware that it doesn’t exist.
I work in IT and talk on the phone all day and like 70% of end users just hang up at the end of calls. No goodbye or anything. It’s so fucking rude
Growing up I really thought Americans just didn’t say ‘bye’ on the phone. It always impressed me how they both knew exactly when the conversation was over.
The conversation is over when you hang up, therefore you can never be wrong.
Wait … I never noticed that!!!
Rearview mirrors get removed too. Sometimes, especially on column-shift cars, the transmission is still in park.
WTF
