Most nonsense or annoying thing in Films/TV

What is, in the opinion of the here-gathered wise ones, the single most annoyingly false thing you see on TV shows.

Although I am primarily NOT thinking of sci fi, I would like to offer the following......

in any show involving teleportation, inevitably there will at some point be a story involving contamination of the signal with other lifeforms (essentially a riff on "the fly"), in Star Trek as an example they make big song and dance numbers out of bio filters and saying things like "there are two lifeforms in the pattern buffer". well see the thing is, that a single human being is a veritable colony of other beasites...all sorts of bacteria and microbes that are essential to our wellbeing (and in some cases survival)....yet tese are always ignored in such sequences....I mean essentially....if we take "the fly" as an example....the first experiment conducted should have resulted in, half man half stomach microbe, should it not.

NOTE:if any trekkers want to argu, I will gladly bring up the trilithium torpedo sequence in Generations which had me AGHAST at it's silliness. Star wars fans...just ssshhhhh ok?

OK to bring things MUCH closer to reality, and serve to hopefully inspire those of a non sci-fi mindset......

Why is it that anywhere else on earth's surface, the speed of sound is 330M/s, but in Hollywood (and other lesser places of course) it travels at the speed of light?

Even on the NEWS, they DUB explosion effects over the visible explosion. In the real world, if lightning strikes or something blows up 1 mile away, you see the light and roughly speaking, hear the sound 5 seconds later....but on TV, nope...instantaneous.

Whereas my first example is obviously just me being an anal retentive geek fuckwitt....this second thing, is actually a worry....it affects the perception of reality that many people have, because it sinks in over time.

oh while we're at it....something that REALLY annoys me..... a "surprised" resident opening the door for the presenter of a show.....shot from the inside GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

You NEED to get out more

American movies: women they go to bed with their make up on and when they wake up in the morning it's still there and then they kiss the person next to them without brushing their teeth first. That's just disgusting

They are just trying to get the man to clean the pubes off their teeth. Otherwise they get in the bristles of the toothbrush.

loads of people say that to me :D

but the fact is it's not as a result of to much free time, I'm just a born nitpicker, and it happens at LIGHTNING speed (as opposed to sound delayed speed).

The ery fact that you thik I may be sad cos of noticing these things 9apart from the sci fi one obviously, that IS sad :D ), sort of lends weight to my argument that it warps minds.....it's never struck you as odd, that the reality you see around you and TV do not tally.

Maya, damn right..Hollywood hair...bed resistant....fooking apocalypse proof more often than not :D

Reminds me of something else I hate on TV.....ads for silly women's chemicals....hair products that make your hair 73.12% more beautiful, or skin products full of bogusomide9000, the essential skin conditioner that's only existed since last weeks marketing meeting. I hate them even more if they feature Sarah J(esus fucking christ did i miss a meeting where good looking got redefined) Parker or that fucking horrorific Andie McDull woman.

nobody ever needs to shave, get a haircut, or look after the bodily functions, even when lost on a desert island.

Now you see why I never watch television or films.

Well, i'll watch films, i'll just not pay for them, yes?

Yeah....I imagine if I had gone to see Tom Crusie's disgusting abuse of War of the Worlds instead of stealing it off the net....I'd have gone utterly fucking ballistic...in fact I very much doubt I'd have seen the whole thing before being removed for my agonized screams and tourette's like commentary. i'll spare this fine forum the rant this time :D

most nonsense or annoying - that the majority of it all seems to be hugely successful suburbia where everybody is rich and complaining. and people are supposed to care.

Katie Holmes limp kissing Batman. Batman ?

actually one that ALWAYS gets me.....

SMALL PLANET SYNDROME

in ANY sci fi show (almost)....whereever the heroes find themselves, whatever minute village...it's always te exact hub of all things on that world.

one of the most ludicrous examples comes from possibly the best story from the best series......That being, of course, Genesis of the Daleks.

It features two global super powers who after centuries of warfare are rapidly regressing in terms of technology. Fine....but they have each been beaten back to a single protective dome....and te two domes are within a couple of hours walk of each other....LOL..... it's like Washington and Mocsow were 20 miles apart.

Star trek's a terrible offender there two, especially in episodes featuring primitive non-global societies.

that more of the classic black & white shows and films aren't being shown often enough.

shown much anytime, except in the middle of the night.

the protagonist can find himself in the most boring little shithole, and something intersting happens. a gun fight, a punch up, and or a memeber of the opposite sex who is a chance encounter falls madly in love with him.

trust me nothing exciting ever happens in boring little shitholes.

For me, it has to be entire shows/channels devoted to continual quizzes, where you have to phone in @ £1 a minute with the answer, to find you are always wrong, until the number of phone calls received by the channel is obviously enough to allow them to have a winner.

Normally the so called 'quiz' is basically f_____ impossible with zillions of possible answers, enabling the channel to draw it on for eons letting the incoming phone calls ring in the cash.

For me I have two issues, one tv the other movie:

1. When ever people go on the talk shows like jerry springer, oprah, etc. and they get all "suprised" that some horrible truth is exposed. I know if my wife ever asked me on one of these shows, I would get it over with by divorcing her, not making an idiot out of myself on national tv. What good has ever come out of these show, really???

2. The guys that are portrayed in chick flicks. They are always tough, daring, and horribly handsome. . .but he has this soft side that even makes Richard Simmons look gay. Then my wife will look over at me and start asking me that dreaded question, "why can't you be more like him??" Oh, and these guys are so well tempered,no matter what BS the chick throws his way. Not to also mention every chick movie the relationship almost dismally breaks apart because of some misconception, which gets resolved in the end. ARRRGGGG!!!!!

3. Lately all these movies have this equality in them that gets to be ficticious. Look I'm all for equality, but when a 5 foot 98 lb girl can kick the ass of a 6 foot 250 lb all muscle guy, well that's just silly. Maybe it could be done, but the chicks always leave with only one good scratch, usually above the right cheek. I think not.

Thanks for letting me vent on these, they were pushed down in that deep dark place.

How does Darth Vader..."go", you know?

I mean, you never see a toilet on the Death Star, yet you know it has to be there (hell, they have a trash compactor. I suppose that had to be in a pivotal scene, but Chewbacca on the can would be too much, eh?)

Also, guys on TV shows always have a hot best friend of the opposite sex who carries a secret crush on them throughout most of the show's run, then hooks up only after dating every single woman in New York and realizing that "she was the one all along". I've had some very attractive female friends in the past, but rarely (i.e., never) have any of them confessed to having a crush on me at any point in our friendship. What's up with that?

Hollywood hardly shows common people's life. You never see regular one-store suburban houses with small kitchens.

You always have huge houses, even when outside they seem small. Protagonists (unless it's a teen charactor) are either doctors or lawyers or policemen, unless a story is really about a university professor or K-mart maniac.

Death Star toiletries. hooking up with missed scenes from Battlestar G. while everybody was off to the holo-deck.. class. the camera couldn't catch everything.

under the title of things not to be known.:substance:night.

Has anyone noticed that all the American sitcoms are having guys that are complete bumbling idiots, where their girlfriend/wife is always right, smarter. The guy fights that he is right and always looks like some moron doing it. And if the show doesn't start off like that it eventually turns into that. What is with that????

True. There are also no rowhouses on TV, either.

Why are most other species in the universe bipeds that are amazingly similar to, well, us?

And why is there absolutely no problem with mating, and sometimes reproducing, between species that originated in other solar systems?

And why is English not only the common language on Earth, but throughout the universe?

And why does space travel take so little time. Consider that the fastest speed possible is light speed. So if the distance between two planets is 371 light years, why doesn't it take 371 years (assuming that the ship can even reach the speed of light) to actually travel that distance? Usually, it only takes long enough for trouble to brew aboardship...

And why, why, why did Spock have to be a hippie in that one Trek episode?

Answers:

1. cause tripods are only for cameras, quadrapeds are, well, boarish.

2. Simply because storks are out in space as well. we can only dream of how many half-breed bastards kirk has running around the universe.

3. There are only two languages: English, and non-english. . .it only makes sense to speak the one that makes sense. . .makes sense?

4. Ok, no explination to help, but how is it people can be walking and standing around or sitting comfotably in leather-office chairs while jumping into lightspeed??? People pass out at the speed of sound, guess we're ammune to light speed?

5. It was only a matter of time. Always thought spock had something on the side with Bones (ever notice how they bicker like married folk??). Gayness leads to the hippie-side.

Comrade, anytime these things seem too perfect, just watch Star Wars and watch the storm trooper that walks into the doorjam a couple times. Always brings a smile to my face.

Hugh Grant and Hugh Grant-type films that depict a land nothing like England, see bullshit films such as Bridget Jones' Diary and Love Actually.

Fucking bullshit.

Live long and prospher!

Errrr pontiac...while you're only joking...I should point out....that right now you are travelling at MANY times the speed fo sound, and are not throwing up. It's accceleration, not velocity that we can't handle.

Steve, not to be nit-picky, but that's why I said "jumping into lightspeed". I meant the acceleration to lightspeed. I got your point though.

JHC

;) Actually....that's something where trek physics surprised me by being right..... They have this made up thing called an inertial damper that prevents them becoming puree when they ship manouvers.....however, you will often see the crew sway, supposedly to SHOW inertia. this was explained as being the crew responding to a load of many 10's of 1000's of G, but for an indescribably short time.

I thought this was abject cack...until I discovered that race car drivers routinely experience 200G for brief periods during crashes...some 20 times what the human body is capable of handling normally.

I can't be the only one that hates Hugh Grant and "those type of English films" with a passion.

I don't think they should have used the Trilithium Torpedo,I think they should have created a sub-space field.....well it works for everything else.Pah!

Turning an old TV show into a movie.

Starsky and Hutch The Brady Bunch Fat Albert Scooby Doo Miami Vice (yet to be released)

And I am sure there are a lot more that I didn't think of.

Monty...re: Trilithium....nowt to do with that.....lemme ask you a question....if I blew the sun up NOW.....when would you know about it?

sienna Miller i suppose. the bird just can't act.

two things:

1. in rumble in the bronx with jackie chan there's a fight scene where the're in a marina doing their moves and there are mountains behind them. in the credits it says, 'thank you to the people of vancouver and the city of vancouver.' vancouver/bronx--same thing.

2. in breaking the waves with emily watson she's supposed to live in an eastern scottish village. we know this because it is a port for ships going out to the oil platforms in the north sea. the problem is, they're wee frees. wee frees live on the west coast, mostly in the hebrides. what's up with that?

Fuckin hell Aget...that's OLYMPIC grade pedantry there.

I like it.

Surprised no one has mentioned the old sound in space thing. I LOL'd most of the way through Alien..."in space no one can hear you scream"....so why the fuck did the nostromo just RUMBLE by.FFS.

Steve Campbell wrote: Fuckin hell Aget...that's OLYMPIC grade pedantry there.

Only things the locals...and pedants...would notice. Bit like the chase scene in Bullitt, my cousins were laughin', wonderin' how he ended up on the coast when the chase scene was clear across the other side of town. :D

Bad Belfast accents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christopher Owens wrote: Bad Belfast accents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but in fairness they usually come from bad Belfast actors.

Why do we talk that way on camera, that bizarre artificial inflection rising and falling without meaning....we sound like the VERY early cybermen (I mean William Hartnell early).

Something else I HATE in all TV shows....... things only ever get tried ONCE. $BAD_DUDES come up with a flawless plan, that fails because of some quirk of luck. do they set it up and start again? Do they fuck! At a very early age I learned a deep hatred for this by watching Battle Of The Planets.....every week....Zoltar would come SO close to fucking them over, they'd fluke a victory, he'd escape, and never try the same plan every again. It's tragic.

oh yeah, some quickies.... Cars do not generally explode at the drop of a hat.

Newton's laws sort of argue against someone standing up, firing a round into someone else, and while the shootist does not flinch, the shootee, flies wildly backwards through the air.

Why the FUCK would smoke from a burning spacecraft go UP? smoke rises on earth because warm air is lighter than cold, and gravity sorts them out...no gravity, and hot things expand through cold things in all directions. (note of course that fire in space is dependent on the ship's own life support)

Oh and visible lasers..WTF? and what about lasers you can SEE TRAVELLING to their target...I mean OMG....this is not discworld, when you switch your lights on in the car you do not see the beams prject outwards a wee bit at a time.

And a more widespread misconception....astronauts in zero gravity.....are in no such thing...they are perpetually falling under the effect of gravity, but falling at the same speed as their craft, they are in RELATIVE zero G....but if Gravity was switch off in the universe, they would fy off on a tangenicl course never to be seen again. If you want to know what weightlessness feels like...it's that stomach in the gob thing you get on a coaster or when your dikbrained mate takes a "yump" at 95mph in his turbocharged Nissan micra.

I'll stop for now, cos this could become a small (or not) book.

fk. keep hitting back not next onwards. delete pls.ignore.sorry edit- cold temperatures. where the characters do not see their breath. scant number of frost-on- ground scenes. cold out usually means frosty, or dewy mornings and nights. see yer breath. TV/ Movies - huge amounts of snow. their breath is still not seen, billowed hoo out.

Vin Diesel & his type of films Vinnie Jones

Something that I've always hated is the "15-minutes star", the actor or actress who is so "hot", "hip", and "new", that they have to appear in every single film released within a three-year period. For one thing, most of the time they're not that talented, and often more than not they really end up on a reality show two years later or a crappy sitcom about how they used to be famous, and now they're not. Sure, I get the whole "strike while the iron's hot" notion of fleeting celebrity, but if I have to see Sean William Scott on another movie poster I'm going to go apeshit.

Erik Estrada is flogging Arkansas real estate on TV these days. :D

Since the "exploding cars" was brought up, here's another thing that chaps my hide: Grenades and small missles (RPGs, AT4s, etc) that explode in a huge ball of flame.

None of these do this, except if hitting something highly flammable, like gas.

Or when people are 5 feet away from the blast, hid behind flimsy cover and escape unharmed. A regular grenade's KILLING radius is 5 meters.

JHC

Exploding cars, you say? How about the cars that sail off a cliff and exlpode before they ever hit anything? The trial lawyers must be lining up to sue that car company.

how the "hero" manages to single handed wipe out an enemy army, but never gets shot himself.

Ronald Kirsch wrote: how the "hero" manages to single handed wipe out an enemy army, but never gets shot himself.

Also how the word "hero" is used. Hell everyone is a hero, just for throwing away an aluminum can, keeping your friends from driving drunk, saying no to drugs, wiping your ass corectly. I think we have trivialized that word for others that truely deserve the title.

JHC

My gripe isn't so much about telly programmes themselves, but the timing of them. In other words: why, oh why, are the best films etc. on so late at night (especially during the week)? Don't the TV channels realise most of us have to get up for work in the morning? Why can't they put the good stuff on earlier, or at the weekend? Grrrr.

It's probably deliberate, at least for the comercial networks.

Advertising space later on will be cheaper, precisely because of the reson you mention. So if you can stick a blockbuster on, and up the audience projections, you can charge more for those slots. Put the film on early, and you gain less.

Maybe I really am just a miserable Cynic tho:)

There's been something rattling round my head to post on this thread since I got up yesterday, and it keeps eluding capture.

All the generic products. It's like your watching a bunch of kids play house without real milk cartons or frozen foods popping up in the story.

No nano personal computers pre-77ish. Did they not have an imagination to think that may come in handy in sci-fi flicks? The more futuristic, the smaller you go!

The token female in an elite fighting force in "present day" wherever who is compensating for what real women can't do due to military restraints offscreen.

Notice that all the women on Star Trek have big tits? Not really annoying but I hope it is part of the future.

5 mins to the Sun is OK...the probe could have been warp capable.....what gets ME, is that the moment it hits the sun, they see the effects, whereas it would take a long time for them to see it owing to the finite speed of light. Actually, I have heard the figure of 1/4C for spead of exploding stars in more than one place. If we assume that, it should have taken 1/4 the time it took the blastwave, for them to see the effects.

Oh and the enterprise was NOT in orbit before it crashed either....because if it was it would have ripped a fucking continent apart when it crashed, if we assume the planet to be "earth like", it's orbital velocity would be in the region of 20,000mph.

Grrrr fucking TVshow writers working on sci fi....it has to stop.

There are 5 things horrible about that picture

1. Her breasts are a funny shape
2. The bra is too small for the size of her breasts
3. She has an orange tan
4. She wears a cheap gold necklace
5. They're bigger than mine... BITCH

Oh and Footballers Wives is shite. I used to watch it thinking it's so bad it's good. Now i realise it's just shit.

Also, hate how Marlon Dingle over acts in every scene in Emmerdale (i only watch it occasionally).

Hate the guy out of the Ocean Finance advert, if i meet him i might have to headbutt him.

That's all for now, but there's loads i hate.

Ohhhhh...on Sky all adverts are loan sharks (hey, move all your debts to us, it'll be cheaper...errrrr why, do you GIVE money away? or is it clever wording to confuse the retarded..cheaper....but paying for 85 years)...or fucking ambulance chasers (did you shut your dick in a drawer at work? then why not bankrupt the company and gt your mates sacked by helping ambulancechasingcunts.com sue them shitless(not available to stinking Northern Irish cunts).

Ocean finance is bad....but have you seen that cunt in the elephant.co.uk ads...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I always mute the ads...I know it's like stealing TV....and if I haven't for reasons of laziness.....I always find the remote and mute them when those ads come on...I'm fairly sure that if I ever seen a whole one, I'd go on a killing spree.

Especially when it's portrayed as "cute".

1. Acne commercials that star celebrities. I bet none of those teen stars ever had to deal with a zit, let alone a face full of cystic acne at 15.

2. Hilary Duff. No explanation is needed.

3. Commercials for fast food joints. The food's never going to look that good. Rather, you go into the restaurant and the burger you get looks like the one in the commercial, only it's been sat on.

4. The bad dialogue and "drama" in soap operas. I'm surprised they've been on this long. I can't sit through a whole episode without asking, "Who the fuck cares about this shit?"

5. Badly dubbed anime. Kung fu movies badly dubbed are funny. Watching an anime series, especially one like Gravitation in which the subtitles are rather good, with American voice actors saying the lines in a voice that contradicts that of the character's in the original is horrid.

you've not seen the pic I have of justin timberwit

But you reminded me.

Anyone ever see someone in a spectacle advert on TV or at the opticians that featured a person who actually wore glasses for longer than the pictures took to capture?

Also...using pyros to enhace explosions being constructed for demo purposes. Brainiac is sad....nearly every explosion they do to "show u what $EXPLODING_THING looks like" is strictly yer Derek Meddings "Molotov in a carrier bag" approach.....sad sad sad.

has anyone mentioned....

7000round magazines in uzis? Cars that get scared when the bad guy is coming and wont start American cars surviving a jump over anything larger than a lollipop stick. MIMING on music shows...why bother, really

I liked the show Sex and the City, but there is no way Carrie could afford Manolo Blahniks and Prada and the great apartment on the paycheck she was getting from a weekly newspaper. The Pope wears Prada, not the poor. :D

Yeah, there was this Welches juice commercial with the blonde haired girl that was supposed to be cute but I always thought she was kind of creepy; she looked more like an android then a cute kid.

Johnny, I agree about Jim Carrey, but I did like him in The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. But Madonna, I have no idea how she gets acting roles; I’ve seen less over acting in a high school play.

Steve have you ever seen the show Mythbusters? They test urban legends and Hollywood stunts to see if they’re plausible. It’s a good show; I think you’d like it.

He's waiting for the episode on sky fairies. :D

all the glasses ads- the frames look so- very placed on the person, unnatural and odd.

the timely stalled car, w/engine turning over is classic. maybe some of the most non-sense that can tighen around the neck is the actors' per episode salary. - clearing thousands of dollars to not do much of anything, really. that-Mythbusters sounds sounds fun. a present-day version of Ripley's believe it or Not.

Now that would be must see tv. But can you imagine the riots if they said that myth was busted.

Ads for ageing reversal face creams should be illegal under trades descriptions. All that pseudo science and they never test them on OAPs do they?

Ads for air fresheners in the home, preying on paranoia or just sad?

and why is Just For Men, just for men?

I couldn't agree with you more, Johnny. Jim Carrey makes me want to vomit.
