Movie cliches/subplots you hate

[O.Red]

Stupid ass kids

This shyt is a staple of Jurassic Park movies

 

[Jaguar93]

- When the character effortlessly snatches a worker's ID badge off their belt without them noticing in order to gain access to parts of the building.
- Parking spaces always available right in front of where they need to be without having to pay for a ticket or nothing
- Grown ass 35 year old men and women as teens
- Probably already mentioned in here, but characters taking one bite out of a hugely prepared meal and one sip of orange juice then just leaving it there on the table and heading out the door while putting their coat on with a piece of toast hanging out their mouth.

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Not a cliche but the way conversations happen in movies/tv is so far from real life, too perfect, no stammers, uhms, interruptions, pauses-I know onscreen it’d drag out scenes but still interesting how we accept it

i’ve always been bothered by this.

 

[Erratic415]

Getting a concussion, a brain injury, is no big deal at all.

A character is easily knocked out with a blow to the back of the head and up a few minutes later like it’s nothing.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

-No one ever dies from smoke inhalation. People have 5 minutes fights in burning rooms and they survive no problem.

-Bad guy flees in a car. Chased down. Car flips over 10 times. Hero gets to the car finally and villain is gone.

-Pretty woman is shot in the head point blank and she looks beautiful still.

 

[King Static X]

Horror movies where they communicate with the dead and are told very specific rules in order to not give the spirits power

proceed to break the rules because they wanna keep talking to their deceased love one

Yeah, the movie Talk to Me is a prime example of this.

I am annoyed by this too. However, to be fair, the reason for this is because actors usually have to go through multiple takes.

So if they have to eat a full-blown meal, they would either take forever, get tired of the food that they're eating, or get sick.

one of the movies i was thinking about

 

[TDT]

Musicals where,during the opening number,the main characters are moving down the streets of their neighborhood/city or are on the beach singing & dancing..every onlooker they go past or bump into,that person automatically knows every dance step,no matter how they look(whether its a police officer,construction worker,mail people or a group of senior citizens )

They should get it right the first time.

Ain't gonna fukk up my breakfast.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I hate the scene at the bar too where several clichés take place. Guy sits down at the bar asks for a beer, I guess all beer in the movie universe is beer brand. The bar tender gives him the drink with a smug look, dude takes one sip gets a call then leaves a full beer behind.

Infuriating.

I mean, that's just how musicals are, lol.

I don't like 99.9% of musicals. They're just so corny.

. . . back to school . . . . .. new savior comes through to civilize the uncivilized. . . .

 

[TDT]

. . . back to school . . . . .. new savior comes through to civilize the uncivilized. . . .

Also

9 times out of 10 these movies always have that one problem student whom the teacher focuses on(comes to find out said student has a fukked-up home situation/runs with thugs etc)..student gets good grades and passes tests then he or she promises that they won't go back to their old ways

Of course towards the middle of the film this student falls back into his/her old habits and the teacher ends up being the one who has to bail them out of trouble..as a consequence he or she winds up either not graduating/being left back,going to juvie or even worse killed by the very thug they were running with

 

[Yinny]

Towns, remote areas where something horrible happened and a demonic spirit is now possessing someone or a place…they don’t think to just leave, burn it down? Why is there always a priest on hand with the answers? Should’ve took care of it 40 years ago then
