What "fake" thing that happens in movies pisses you off?

Going to any famous landmark and being the only ones there.

Playing video games. They look like they are having a seizure with the controller. Really it would be terribly boring because your hands/fingers don't really move that much.

When people pause before shooting someone, giving them a chance to do something completely unrealistic to get away. If there's somebody dangerous and I have a gun pointed at them I'm going to just shoot, no questions asked. I'll drop my pun after killing them.

Sprinklers. Someone holds up a lighter and suddenly everyone in the building is soaking wet.

If you manage to trip a sprinkler head, every sprinkler in the building doesn't go off. If they did, they'd all have to be replaced and that shit gets expensive. The life safety system will trigger and the alarms go off, but only the sprinklers in the area that is hot will trip.

Edit: Since everyone on Reddit likes to make a point, yes, deluge systems do this. I have yet to see a movie in a high hazard situation where someone is trying to set off the fire safety systems. More often they want to blow those places up.

It gets to me when people are driving and they move the steering wheel way to much for driving on a straight road. Do that in real life and you're all over the road.

When the characters don't communicate. Seems like there are a lot of movies/stories where there is some sort of dilemma but if they just sat and talked for a minute and explained what happened it would be fine. Seems like lazy writing sometimes.

It's a semiautomatic pistol/rifle. Yes, the sound of the slide being racked sounds cool and all, but if you do it more than once, you're just flinging unfired rounds everywhere.

In a dystopian future where water and resources are scare, everyone has the magical ability to shave their legs, chest and armpits and groom their eyebrows.

I'm willing to forgive well kept hair, but the whole "waxed body" thing is dumb.

When people are pretending to play instruments and they clearly have absolutely no idea what they are doing. The prop department could at least teach them how to hold the fucking things, it makes me so angry.

Covering someones mouth in duct tape. Shit don't stick to wet, humid surfaces. Breathing causes humidity. Might not fall clean off, but it wouldn't stifle speech.

Edit: Too many of you know too much about how many times to wrap tape around someone's head lol.

Easy parking. In the middle of Times Square and the character needs to park his car so he can chase after that prostitute with a heart of gold and tells her he loves her? Bam! Doesn't even need to double park, or feed the meter, or parallel park. Just a nice open spot for him to pull into.

When someone tries to figure out a password. They'll look around the room and be like, "Paris! Her favorite city - that must be her password!" And it works. Fuck all y'all.

Edit: because someone actually gives a shit about the contraction "y'all."

More so TV shows than movies...but people who are supposedly poor and struggling always live in super nice apartments with nice shit and no mess.

Edit: Catching some grief for saying poor people can't be tidy. They can. But I wasn't saying poor people are dirty, just that in general people who are struggling don't live in immaculately clean homes to the level they are on TV.

When people just like show up unannounced. Especially romantic movies. The girl always looks flawless. If a guy just showed up at my doorstep. The most likely result would be me in men's sweats with a bun on top of my head eating Cheetos out of my belly button.

UPDATE: to answer all of your questions, I have a really deep belly button.

Inaccuracy in portrayal of pregnancy. Like oh 10 weeks and the baby is kicking. Or when "it's time" the woman is rushed to the hospital and goes through a birth in a few minutes. All LIES!!!!

The suppressor in the gun... I am not an expert but I am pretty sure that putting a suppressor in a gun does not make it mute... It has a pretty loud significant sound.

Edit: suppressor

No one says good bye before they hang up. How many times do you say good bye and the other person still has more to say? How do movie characters always know the conversation is over??

Whenever someone is "hacking" or doing anything with computers, they bleep and bloop and make all kinds of sci-fi sounds like that. That would be the most annoying shit ever.

When someone is being chased by a car. Why the fuck do they ALWAYS continue running on a straight road?! You obviously cannot outrun a car.

The concept of time is lost on filmmakers. Examples, both from The Dark Knight Rises, because I was watching it this weekend:

The Wall Street robbery - Sunny out when Bane and Co. go in. When Bane says, "Time to go mobile." they had 8 minutes to go. Dusk when they go out. Batman joins the chase and all of a sudden, night time! And the transmission of the laptop finished just as Batman got to it. So approx 15-20 minutes from sunny day to night time!
Stopping the bomb at the end - Talia says they have 11 minutes. Bomb timer shows approx 11:55 and counting down. [Stansfield]EVERYONE[/Stansfield] takes their little ol' time to get to their vehicles. The Bat shows up and there's still approx 10:55 left on the bomb timer. You mean to tell me that it only took 1 minute for Batman to get to the Bat and for Talia and him to catch up to the truck carrying the bomb? But wait, there's more! Batman and Catwoman taking out the other tumblers, timer now shows a little over 5 minutes. Talia crashes the truck, timer shows under 2 minutes. Batman hooks up the bomb to the Bat, makes out with Catwoman, talks to Gordon, and flies the bomb out into the water in under two minutes?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Not really an issue anymore because of cell phones, but I used to hate when one character would hang up on another and the second person would hear a dial tone.

Cars don't explode when shot at. That's lazy filmmaking.

edit

TIL, people like their cars exploding, gawshdurnit.

edit edit

Penn & Teller and Mythbusters took a crack at it. Nope.

Also, I call it lazy filmmaking because, well, it fucking is. If you want to build excitement or intensity, do so with a better plot or with better pacing. Not random, arbitrary explosions. Unless, you are looking to make just a stupid action flick, it's a silly thing to waste the money on shooting.

My roommate feels that when a person is making a phone call- if the screen dose not shut off after being lifted to their face, the movie/show is ruined.

Characters picking up obviously empty suitcases. I know it's dumb of me to get so annoyed, but the prop guy couldn't put a sand bag in there? It immediately takes me away from the story when I see actors lifting giant bags like they're King Kong picking up a matchbook.

Almost anything involving a gun. If you are going to play a badass army guy/police officer at least don't "cup and saucer" the gun when you hold it.

Also, hold the pistol high on the grip, not down at the bottom so its always pointing down. (Rick Grimes from Walking Dead, looking at you.)

You can always tell when an actor doesn't smoke, because they won't inhale their cigarette. It doesn't really piss me off, but it sticks out pretty badly sometimes.

I hate how in The Walking Dead anyone can just pick up a pistol and start racking up headshots. Hitting a moving person in the head with a pistol from 25 yards is incredibly hard.
