When someone sets food down in front of a person and the person gets up and leaves without taking a bite. I always think “You ungrateful, wasteful prick!” ---

Oh good, I wasn’t the only one who was totally bored by “Prince of Thieves”. I fell asleep watching it, while snuggling with a guy I was crazy about. ---

They always get something wrong and it annoys the crap out of me. See that drip? Well, they call it a drip for a reason: it’s supposed to drip. Many, many times I’ve seen movies/TV shows where the drip doesn’t drip or the pump is obviously (to me, at least) turned off. I worked as a respiratory technician, and still notice that the oxygen cannula is secured incorrectly about 90% of the time. ---

I first saw this in Battlestar Galactica, but I’m seeing it in movies & other TV shows now… what the hell with injecting directly into the neck? That’s gotta be a bad idea for several reasons… ---

People who let out that long protracted scream at some point when the action is getting hot. Not Charlie Sheen in Platoon-there is justification in his situation. I mean like in the final action scene of The Professional, and a closeup of Leon’s face, and towards the end of Mobsters, where Christian Slater is firing a machine gun. Same yell. Same WTF from me. ---

I am all about comedies and action suspense thrillers. What I don’t go for is the swearing that you unfortunately have to sit through. God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Holly ---

Well, they call it a drip for a reason: it’s supposed to drip. Many, many times I’ve seen movies/TV shows where the drip doesn’t drip or the pump is obviously (to me, at least) turned off. They get aviation stuff wrong all the time, too. _Die Hard 2_ was particularly bad. ---

One trope my wife and I are tired of is the “Hollywood is a town of phonies and fakes” one, which reared its ugly head most recently in _Argo_. ---

Crawling around in air ducts. Sorry, I’ve seen how sturdy those things aren’t. Even worse, crawling around in air ducts _silently._ ---
