Random things that bug you in movies and TV

That still sounds really niche.

Dude. Use quotes. To what were you responding?

Whenever you don’t see a quote that’s what that means.

The complete absence of peripheral vision.

Siiiiihhhhg. Do better.

Depends. There's probably not a single house party that everybody attends, but most campus towns have a district crammed with bars where a significant percentage of the students turn up on the regular. Probably a bit different in campuses located in major metro centers. It's been one of the things driving university administrators bonkers in trying to address covid; their students are throwing vast super-spreaders 3-4 times a week.

Which is vastly different than the one big party on campus that everyone hears about and wants to go to. Nobody said there isn't excessive partying going on.

You’re really bad at this. Like astonishingly so.

How about when someone in a show hears big news on tv. The tv is loud and can be clearly heard. But when the actors stop to talk about what they just heard there is no noise from the tv even though no one turned it off.

Or the small town nosey neighbor that the small town police ignore because she calls 5 times a day. yet one time she calls and the cop who answers the phone who before has made it a point to say she cant be taken seriously and gets over worked at the postman coming by says "Wow I have never heard her like this. Better go check it out this could be the real deal."

I give a discussion the effort it deserves.

[TheRay]

A discussion which you start voluntarily. Further proving my point for me.

The complete absence of peripheral vision.

That made me think of this stupid scene right away. Just listening to them talk about it is hysterical.

As someone who is is British I hate the ‘I’m British (and likely have the refined accent version) so I MUST be the bad guy/girl’ trope.

Also the ‘action movie set in Britain where no one British is actually competent to deal with a crisis on their door and the lone rugged American guy has to save the day’ trope.

And one in all modern comics… ‘…AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!’

You must detest Spartacus.

Seriously though, I get your point, and it disturbs me too. Not just that it's Anglophobic, but it's anti-intellectual. The refined British accent here in the US is associated with education and I really hate seeing that framed as something bad.

Characters not catching on quick enough.
If you walked into something invisible, say a wall, I don't think you'd need to tap on it a few times to make sure it was actually there and you didn't just walk into thin air.

How about when a group of people are looking into the window of a tv store at a tv and yet they can hear the tv through the glass. How loud do they have those things turned up anyway?
