Why do we need to be prompted on where we should laugh during the program? It's like screaming "Funny! Funny! You should be laughing here." Like I can't decide for myself what I think is funny.
I'm still waiting for the bartender in the western town to slide my drink along the bar to me. No really, I'd love to see it for real.
And yes to whoever said women waking with their faces perfectly made up. Mind you, would we want those lights on us first thing in the morning otherwise? Not to mention all those people staring at us...
I have a personal peeve of soliders, cops, etc. that run around with their finger on the trigger in movies. Any trained professional would NEVER do that. You do not put your finger there until you are ready to squeeze the trigger.
Glamorizing cheating, or making us all feel bad for the adulterer, as if "poor, poor them, no wonder they cheated- they were ignored, or neglected". Like the Bridges of Madison County, or Unfaithful. PLEASE !!! Movies that let you guessing at the end ... Did Richard Gere turn himself in, or did they take the car and drive it off a big cliff and die together ?! lol !
How about when you see a movie about a poor lonely girl, like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and she suddenly meets some super hot, sexy, athletic, worldly guy ?! Ummm hello !!! I'm no beast- where's my worldly, fun outdoorsy and handsome guy ?! He doesn't even have to be hot or rich- just normal !

Oooh, hate it! Women waking up in full makeup is especially notorious on those '60s sitcoms (My Three Sons, That Girl, etc.). Even the false lashes stayed on.
And, PLEASE, no lights on me when I first wake up!

my BIGGEST pet peeve... I can overlook dang near everything else... but this... I can't even watch the comedies on TV with because of the canned laughter... They have what - 5 maybe... And they are queued at the most odd times - such as when someone walks into the room...
I just love all the squealing tires on dirt roads!
You lock your doors? A lot don't here!
But, I know what you mean...I locked them when I lived in San Francisco...
Other pet peeves--general gun ignorance.
Guns that never run out of bullets. Guys that never miss. Purposely shooting a leg of a running person in the dark from half a mile away. Shotguns that make people suddenly fly backward as if suddenly jerked by a giant invisible rope. Doors and locks magically open from one gunshot. Car doors, car seats, and sheetrock walls that stop bullets. Did you know that any vehicle automatically blows up if shot more than 3 times? That little propane tanks blow up violently if shot? They do in Hollywood.
Baaaaad accents or accents that come and go in movies. If you need someone to sound like a southerner or like they're from Brooklyn or England, there are actually actors who sound like that for real...
I absolutely lock my doors, but then again, I live in Metro Detroit.
Another thing about guns in movies: people who have never fired a gun will pick one up and just start firing away with ease and will hit their target on the first shot. They don't flinch, their hand doesn't recoil, and it's smooth shooting. And people can always shoot sideways, too.
Half the time I can't hear what people are saying when they are talking in normal or say slightly quiet 2 person conversation. What is up with that! I'm not hard of hearing. More a movie thing on TV I think though I've never really tried to track it.
