In Reply to: What is one of the greatest personal pain for you in movie------ posted by patrickU on February 10, 2007 at 04:48:41:
All the time, every time. Big, loud, bright and fiery. Pulleaze. Find something new.If horses are in a scene, they must all be nickering and neighing. (Horses are actually pretty quiet most of the time.) Horse movies in general make me cringe, as I'm sure most medical dramas make most physicians cringe.
If a man and woman are intimate together in a scene, she's got the clothes off for the camera and he's partially or mostly clothed. NO FAIR!
If the protagonists are being chased, one of them will always fall down. If one of the persons being chased is female, she will fall and also hurt her ankle.
There are more. But that's enough for now.
Follow Ups:
According to Roger Ebert, every movie has obliglatory chase scene where the hero is chasing the bad guy and a fruit cart/baby cart/shopping cart will be pushed out into the path of the hero thereby grazing the cart and slowing the hero down.In the theaters during the old days, savvy fans would watch for this and always shout out, "FRUIT CART!"
...anything breakable, spillable etc.
... must inevitably explode. It's a Hollywood law, apparently.While I agree with you that cars explode too often, what's even worse is that lately the special effects guys have found a way to propel stationary vehicles straight up into the air 20 or 30 feet as they explode. Since when does that happen in real life?
As far as male vs. female nudity is concerned, the rule (at least in puerile Hollywood) seems to be that displays of female nudity are to be almost exclusively sexually-charged images of very attractive and fit female specimens and male nudity is almost exclusively used in comic or humiliating situations involving unattractive, grotesquely obese, or otherwise unfit male specimens. The exception to this rule seems to be that naked or scantily-clad males that women would normally find physically attractive are presented as homosexual.
Since American audiences have been conditioned this way, Hollywood rarely dares to show male nudity in any intimate scene that is meant to be taken seriously because it becomes a distraction. Not that I want to see more male nudity, mind you. But I can understand how many women resent the double standard (even if they don't recognize as well that constantly treating male nudity as humiliation or a joke could be considered just as much of an insult, directed toward men).

Do you have the answer or are you part of the problem?
