People are describing those frustratingly unrealistic things they see in movies that just defy the way real life works. You know, things like holding intense conversation (and eye contact) with someone, while driving down a busy highway, and somehow not causing a massive accident. Or, if you were in an accident, how the cars actually don't just explode, but do all kinds of crazy stuff upon impact.

    Text - Text - political_bot • 6h 3 1 Award Potatoes in medieval movies. They aren't native to Europe! They're originally from South America, so if there's a potato in your movie set in medieval Europe that's not historically accurate.

    Text - oldgeektech • 6h I've got two: Computers do not make noises that are depicted in movies. Seriously. Person clicks something - computer noise intensifies. To be fair, I work in IT so it just rubs me the wrong way from a professional level. Phone calls in movies. Oh, 1 ring and it's a voicemail/answering machine. But if someone is receiving a phone call it's an endless ring and a "I got it, I got!"

    Text - DarkPasta • 6h Fight scenes. Most real fights are over in 30 seconds. In movies and TV they take several kicks to the head, kidney punches, the odd chair broken over your back, maybe get choked, even get stabbed - and presto - still keep on fighting! Usually they're completely unaffected and doing something that would be impossible to do just seconds after. "Hey, I just got beaten to an inch of my life but somehow managed to win the fight... let's run up these stairs like it's no problem

    Text - Jane_doeeeee • 6h The screen showing a traditional band playing traditional instruments but electronic music, especially pop/EDM playing out the speakers. Especially cringey when it's an old-timey band or historical show and a stupid pop or hip-hop song comes on to play over their pretending to touch their instruments.

    Text - JumpingTheMoon • 5h Horses whinnying with their mouths shut. They're prey animals, so they are generally pretty quiet unless they are calling out to another horse. They don't just holler all the time and they sure as hell don't do it with their mouths closed. I have no idea why in movies horses are shown as constantly making noise.
