I hate when an actor clearly doesn't even understand how to hold and aim a gun and their character is supposed to be competent at it.
Cate Blanchet's character in Borderlands is a recent and particularly obvious example. In the movie's trailer she is shown holding and aiming a rifle like someone who clearly never held a gun before and my understanding is that her character was supposed to be a highly competent gunslinger.
Someone coach those actors for crying out loud.
Or when people in a gunfight clearly aren't hearing the apocalyptically loud sound gunshots would make in their situation - like in a small room or in a car.
I love the scene in (a movie, just realized I can talk about it without spoiling if I don't say what movie, those who have seen it will know), where there's an attempt to do a romance scam where they rob you when you get naked to have sex with the bait woman. He takes the other guy's gun, at which point the guy laughs and says it's only loaded with blanks. MC pauses for a second then shoots him in the face point blank anyways because blanks still release a ton of energy, they just don't put half of it in to a small projectile, and the guy ends up rolling on the floor in agony, blinded.
Though that shot is fired inside and I don't recall if they even acknowledge that aspect of it.
Archer definitely does, though!
I find it kind of cool that they portrayed blanks correctly, or at least more accurately than usual. The public has a misconception that shooting blanks is like shooting a cap gun.
Yeah, with bad luck blanks may kill even from distance, so it's really better not to push your luck pointing a loaded gun
I think the problem is that Cate Blanchett has too big an ego to be taught/learn anything, including how to act. But that's just my humble opinion.
I don't know enough to notice bad gunplay but anachronistic makeup/hair styling can bother me. Costumes I give some slack because it could be a budget issue.
When it's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic/survival genre but everyone looks clean-cut, shaven, and recently showered with a day-old haircut 🙄
Oh God yes and women with no body hair in times when only sex workers would shave pits&crotch
Yeah I saw a still frame from what appeared to be some sort of post-apocalyptic movie with a grungy super-spy/bounty-hunter type woman as the protagonist. Dirty torn clothes, nappy dreadlocks, the whole works. Clearly hadn't showered in months. And her pits were clean-shaven. I was like "wat."
To be fair, armpits are pretty quick to shave and I could see some people sticking with some personal hygiene habits in times like that just to feel a bit more normal. Also, if they don't have time for showering, shaving armpits might be one of the most effective ways to keep the smells lower, like the difference between needing to scrub a lot with a sponge or just give it a wipe.
Personally, I shave my face because once it gets to a certain length, it annoys me. Same with my head. Now I do use an electric razor for both of those and don't go down to the skin for either, so whether I kept up with that or went all mountain man would depend on access to electricity, but if I had that access, I would absolutely spend a bit of time managing that because it starts to be a distraction if I don't.
Sure, if you can find enough razor cartridges. Armpits are too concave to use a straight razor on I would think.
Granted it is possible she did IPL or electrolysis before the downfall of society, so that is a potentially reasonable explanation
Where do you base this on? Have you got any experience shooting with her?
You learn a great deal about certain people by working high-end retail.....
I don't know if this is exactly "anachronistic" since the movie is set 20,000 years in the future and who knows, but there's a scene in the second installment of the new Dune where the emperor is surrounded by his Sardaukar soldiers and they all have LA hipster haircuts.
Yes I think anything that is specifically recognizable like that counts. 80s permed hair is especially noticeable.
I also sometimes notice "old lady hairstyles" in the old movies that those old ladies watched in their teens, copied their style, and kept doing it for several decades, but that's different.
Take your finger off the trigger!
The butt of the stock goes against your shoulder, not in your armpit!
