I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

Okay, thanks for responding. I'm really interested in medical processes.

I hear that the defibrillating paddles don't work anything like in the movies also, that they're actually meant to shock a chaotically beating, fibrillating, heart into stopping for a moment and restarting it's steady, normal rhythm and they're not even used for patients who flatlined, which is how every movie I've ever seen uses them.

Do you have any insight on that?

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's correct. So if you see a flat line there is no activity to reset with a defibrillator.

Btw, in Run Lola Run a guy gets reanimated while being conscious, Lola even takes his hand and has eye contact with him, and he smiles at her.

THAT MAN DOESN'T NEED TO BE REANIMATED, YOU DUMB AMBULANCE PROFESSIONALS :) But the movie is great.

Haha, i remember that.

I love that movie and franka potente, I can't get upset with it or her for nothing.
