Which one bugs you the most?

[2nosey]

when in a scary movie if someone hears a noise they think the should investigate aaaagggggggggghhhhhhhh who would do that eh? the only place i would go is away from the place the noise had just come from.

Going with the chess theme, in American movies to show somebody is intelligent they put a Biritsh person in a lab coat with a pair of specs!

The Indian guy who runs our local Spar wears that everyday and he's not that bright.

[2nosey]

oh and when they have a indian person as a doctor or pharmacist.

thanks for reminding me natalie_1982

Or they have like 10 seconds to deactivate a bomb or something and it goes into slow-mo, they manage to stick the kettle on, have a quick fag, do the shopping, change their clothes, spruce up their hair, have another cuppa, then get back with still 2 seconds left on the bomb clock face, deactivate it and the world is saved.

Every hotel room in Paris has a view of the Eiffel tower, what's that all about?

And the nonsense female in every film who trips up when she's trying to run away from someone/thing - why can't women in films run?

Sex in films is always amazing, satisfying, fulfilling, and in soft-focus. The goings-on in my boudoir never quite match up....

Yes, and Americans saving the day all the time, that gets pretty tiresome.

Why does no-one in Eastenders wear glasses? (apart from Ben, I mean, he obviously has them as a "you're very soft" prop).

When people in films get a phone call saying for them to "turn on channel 57" They turn the TV on (its always on the correct channel) to see a news report. The news report is just starting, so how did the person on the other end of the phone know it was on?

[natalie_1982]

And they never say "Bye" when they put the phone down, and rarely say "Hello" when they answer it.

[Supernick]

All the cops are mavericks. There's never anyone who does things by the book.

[BigDogsWang]

Why when you see someone make a phone call does the person on the other end always answer it within 2 milliseconds?

IT DON'T HAPPEN!!!

[Gevs1966]

Don't forget that all the beds in hollywood have those L shaped bed sheets which cover up the woman all the way to her shoulders but on the mans side of the bed it only goes up to his waist!

The bad guy not reallly being dead when everyone thinks he is and when he seemingly comes back to life for one last attempt to kill our hero the plucky underdog who doesn't know how to fire a gun draws the weapon flicks the safety and takes him out with pinpoint accuracy quicker than any wild west gunslinger in history!

Romances are the worst, especially chick flicks. Even if the girl is a complete cow to the guy and cheats on him or is using him, if she finds out that he's so much as looked at another woman then she leaves town (seemingly for good) and he has to chase after her and beg for her forgiveness. ARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Car chases through piles of empty cardboard boxes and fruit markets...

No-one ever locks car doors...

One glance in the rear-view mirror can instantly distingush between someone tailing them and someone who just happens to be going the same way...

[Supernick]

Trying to make a girl look 'ugly' by putting a pair of glasses on her and making her wear a baggy jumper. We can all tell how fit she is underneath but no-one else can until the dramatic reveal.

[halfadaily]

it seems all shady deals or gangster meets that take place in London have to take place in an open space within a couple of hundred yards of Tower bridge.

anyone can walk around a deserted mansion in the dead of night with no lights on, yet with the aid of a 500 watt candle can brightly illuminate any room they enter.

same applies for anyone entering a massive cave, just one burning torch will light up the whole cave. Of course this will also reveal a large cache of highly polished gold.

When someone needs to make a telephone call they NEVER have to look a number up and the number is either only 4 digits long or its on speed dial 1!

[joko]

the car chase also through whicker baskets full of chickens (!!)

the confused look into the phone mouthpiece whenever the other person unexpectedly hangs up - who does that??

they never take the keys out of their cars when they get out.

the inevitable bit of foliage that sticks out of the top of a brown paper bag whenever anyone has been to the supermarket.

the way when someone is being chased and the pursuer is just yards away, they always manage to find their keys, open the door, get inside, and slam the door, all they before they cover a few yards

- and still the baddie just strides towards them - instead of picking up the pace a bit when he sees they are about to get inside.

they way the goodie always drops their weapon the second they hit the baddie and he's out - i would be filling my pockets with knives and hammers etc - we've all see enough films to know that one whack on the head aint enough!

If a cat appears in a movie scene, why does it always have to "meow"?

[BigDogsWang]

and Dogs always know who's bad, and bark at them.

[Veggibear]

If a minor character in a film gets to speak to the main character - you know they will turn out to be the murderer.
