Gafemage 02/02/18 5:00:09 PM #6:	- Fucking restaurant scenes. I know with the multiple takes & everything the actors can't eat a lot, but seeing people continuing the conversation after their food's been served & taking approximately one infuriatingly small bite every three minutes pisses me off so god damn bad. Actually, make that pretty much any scene involving food. We've all seen something in a commercial, TV show or movie where the matriarch of a family's prepared a royal feast for breakfast & the asshole dad just walks out of the house with a single piece of toast. *HNNGGGH* --- http://imgur.com/1EOFcjn http://imgur.com/epjd8zk <cite>Gafemage posted [p:895330932] in ITT: Movie...
