If you don’t have screens, how do you keep the bugs out?
I don’t open those windows 
Which are always so clean Mr. Clean would be out of a job.
“Where were you on Thursday the 11th of June, 2011, at 11:23pm?” “Heck I don’t know, it’s been three years!” Nope, it doesn’t matter whether the date in question was three years, three weeks or three days prior, people always remember where they were.
Speaking of serious wounds, apparently writers think that getting stabbed is by definition Not Serious. Even if it’s all the way through your gut. Those people who died in battlefields before guns? Weaklings, each and every one of them.
My ex’ poor Firebird died, not by the gearbox as everybody expected (“I grew up in a farm, I can drive manual” my ass), but by the brakes.
He didn’t gear down.
He didn’t use the emergency brake.
He didn’t look for a large empty lot.
Nope, he drove around for hours until he thankfully ran out of gas. And the patron saint of idiot drivers must have had nothing else to do at the time, as the ex had also run through several red lights but had not run into anybody or anything :smack:, or been seen by any cops.
It did take a bit longer than those movie scenes, though.
I sodding well did not!
Well that’s certainly one approach 
Here’s one: People in spacesuits always have bright helmet lights shining onto their face.
Yes, I know they want to show the actors face, but that light would sure blind them if it was like that in real life.
Just to set the record straight: cleanliness aside, and despite the duct being large enough for Willis, ducts are not constructed to handle that kind of weight, right? :dubious:
No kidding on this one. If Olivia Benson says, “We can protect you!” you are toast.
And any “Safe House” you go to should actually be called “The Most Unsafe House in the Entire City.”
Turning off the ignition didn’t occur to him in “hours”?
Which was nicely averted in The Walking Dead pilot – sheriff gets shot in the vest, takes off his vest to demonstrate that he’s, you know, wearing a vest. He’s then immediately shot in the chest by the bad guy, this time for real.
Of course, that lead to the contrivance of “Man In Coma Wakes Up To Zombie Apocalypse”, where a bedridden man’s suddenly able to, you know, walk and stuff. :smack:
It was an episode of Columbo where they pointed out the existence of the ‘cigarette burn’ in the upper corner of a movie frame to alert the projectionist they are about to do a reel change.
Never noticed it until then. Never unnoticed it afterwards…
Main cast member has been up all night working/partying/fighting baddies. His boss walks into the room.
“Jeesus Christ, You look like shit, Kevin!”
Actually, he looks exactly the same as he does in every scene - very handsome, no bloodshot eyes, no bags under eyes, no blotchy skin, no limp hair.
Two more computer-related quibbles:
-
Whenever someone wants to destroy a computer in a movie, they go after the monitor and the keyboard. That tower thing under the desk? Totally unimportant in Hollywood. The idea that the real computing might be done from a mainframe in a different room never even comes up.
-
Ever notice how computers always have these amazing audio-visual displays for rare events? I can see the conversation now: “Hey Joe, you’ve got a giant security flaw in your code here.” “Oh, shoot! I’ll have to hire a voice actor and work up some 3-D animation to let people know if that ever gets exploited by a hacker.”
Correct. Think about it… how thick does metal ductwork need to be to allow air to pass through? Why pay for the heavy duty stuff?
I’m convinced they have a writers escape hatch with that, do they have the guts to pull it?
Along side of that is the “person in a coma looks like they’re sleeping”. I’m here to tell you, and I know personally, that comatose people look ANYTHING but asleep unles they’re heavily sedated. After 6 weeks, he was a month learning to walk again…
Another one: No one, not good guys or bad guys or victims or suspects EVER closes their window blinds/shades/curtains. That’s so the FBI, serial killers, cops, spouses, lovers, private detectives, or all of the above can sit outside their house/apartment at night an see every dadgummed thing they’re up to inside. *Close your venetian blinds, people! That’s why God invented them! *
I’m working my way through The Killing. On episode 19. That’s why these are all at my fingertips.
I thought they were invented to make housecleaning an incredibly frustrating experience. 
Still thinking about it: any reason the duct has to be big enough for Willis to crawl through? Other than, you know, plot contrivance.
