There's a commercial that irritates me so badly over this. Some life insurance commercial that plays constantly on my parent's tv. If you've seen it you'll know from this.

"What's up with grandma's casserole?"
"It's for your uncle Joe's funeral. My brother didn't have life insurance. His wife and children are suffering now."
"I should get insurance, mom."
"Yes, son, you should. You have a wife, and children, and even grandkids now."

...like, this is his mom he's talking with. I understand calling grandma and uncle Joe by those terms, but they have to identify their relationships with each other every sentence.

I've made a topic about this before but I fucking hate plots that can be resolved in 10 minutes if the characters just fucking talked to each other.

Romance and rom-coms are the worst for this.

I think I remember that topic. That's such a lazy cliche that it will pretty much kill a movie for me.

a bad documentary is disappointing to me in a way that basically no other movies are.

some things that I hate:
-the documentaries where a substantial amount of the footage is just people talking about how important/wonderful the subject is, without actually saying anything meaningful about it (CNN's tv documentaries stand out as being particularly guilty of this)

-nature documentaries with narration that humanizes their subject too much. often the narration suggests that, because the subject displays some behavior that appears to be similar to something that humans do, their motivation for that behavior must also be similar to humans.

(as a side note, I find two things extremely off-putting about nature documentaries:
-knowing that the sounds you're hearing are completely unrelated to the pictures being shown on the screen
-knowing that the presence of a camera has an effect on the way the animals act)

Wilhelm scream
This should be replaced with the Jazz scream

My list would be
  • In media res nude/sex scenes, don't skip over the best part
  • Liar revealed trope, especially in romcoms
  • Reversal of fortune ending in horror movies. Pick a happy or sad ending don't try to have both. You can do bittersweet but that's not the same
  • Trying to keep every popular franchise around indefinitely. We don't need any more Texas Chain Saw Massacre movies.

Obnoxious muzzle flash. Half the time it looks like theyre shooting beam rifles.

Villains being dumb so the good guys can deal with them, in general. A few specifics (but there are so many more):
  • Organized Criminals in the US not having guns
  • Having guns but fighting hand-to-hand anyway (Fuck you, Wild Wild West)
  • Capturing the good guy instead of killing them, especially when theres no reason to not kill them and/or theyve shown no qualms about killing others on the good guys team.
  • Fighting one-by-one instead of ganging up on the hero.
  • Setting a timer on a bomb when the intent is terrorism
Obnoxious product placement: I dont mean Coke-can-facing-out. I mean the Sonic the Hedgehog Olive Garden scene or the Uncharted Papa Johns one, or all of Man of Steel.
