To me it's 2 things.

Driving with their windows down against reflections when filmed from the outside, even during rain, freezing temps and snow. Or when someone tries to grab them and they get in a car, apparently putting their window down before driving away, then to be grabbed through the window.

Other thing is roughly 600 bullets in a gun magazine, plus regular cars being completely bulletproof. Even when driving in full machine gun fire from a gun with thousands of bullets in a 30 round magazine, at most a window gets popped.

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.

Forensic experts cover themselves completely, including a face mask and hood, so they don't pollute a scene. They're not there in full glam.

No, there isn't an alert for when your computer system is under an attack. It would go off constantly because every script kiddie is trying an attack 24/7. There also isn't an alert for when the firewall is penetrated because the whole point of the penetration is that you wouldn't detect it and they can quietly steal data.

Stealing gold instead? It weighs a lot. That gold bar you're casually carrying between your finger tips actually weights as much as a reasonable big dumbbell. (16 oz bottle / half liter of gold weights very roughly as much as 2.5 gallon / 10 liter of water or 20 pound / 10 kg)

And every time people are casually thrown into walls. Meanwhile people go to the hospital after a bit of a bad fall when cleaning the gutter.

The wall thing is even more stupid when the setting is Europe and the wall wouldn't give in even a tiny bit

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.

Lol I just hang up on the phone when I "done" being on a call with my parents, no byes, just press the red button. They got so used to it, they never said anything about it. xD

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

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

not sure if a tv thing or american thing but everyone wears shoes indoors

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

American thing i think. I visited family in the US from Canada and they looked at me weird for taking my shoes off when I entered their home.

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is so strange to me. US Americans bring dirt in all rooms of their house, all just for benefit of not being confortable?

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There's a lot of variables and it's not just the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_footwear_indoors

That's often true but not always, a good set dresser will make a mess if the scene and character calls for it. Typically only for "film d'auteur" though in the more commercial things it's almost always as you said.

"Over and Out". No, it's either "Over" or "Out".

Close your fucking dust cover.

You salute when wearing a hat.

Happy family time and joined breakfast with bacon and cereal every morning.

Breakfast? YOU'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL.

(I was always late for school. Cuz that's that emotional trauma does to a child. Thanks a lot, mom!)

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 8 points 1 day ago

They don't get fat though since they never eat the breakfast.

Rearview mirrors get removed too. Sometimes, especially on column-shift cars, the transmission is still in park.

Lately, I find weather maddening. It’s either a non-issue mid-season light sweater weather, extremely consistent across all movies and films ever made, unless it’s a monsoon like downpour -but everyone is immediately dry unless it’s a plot point. Rarely, it snows, a snows that never settles, never gives any problems, never freezes anyone’s hands.

When I was like 10 I read a book about film production and it mentioned that in some movies they use shredded pieces of paper for snow and I've never been able to unsee it.

Like surely there's a better alternative that isn't asbestos

The number of people in arctic conditions without head coverings is maddening.

You after cars in movies, if they actually had a crash:
