How about that actors always have their windows rolled all the way down and walk away from the car with the windows down.

Oh man, this'll bug you so much, especially since they do it in movies where they never even show the actors from the rear. It's in literally every movie, unless the headrest is part of the scene.

One thing that drives me crazy every single time is getting handed the to-go coffee then pretending to drink from a very obviously empty paper cup

u/glassbath18 May 12 '20
The empty cups drive me up the wall! Obviously actors canāt sit there and think about how to make their empty cup look legit while theyāre focused on their lines but if they could just put literally anything in there that has a little bit of weight so the actors arenāt just throwing around their cup thatād be great.

One glaring example in Captain America Civil War. They show a coffee cup in detail and then Scarlett Witch stirs with a spoon. She takes it out and puts it down and the spoon is completely dry! And then has the audacity to pretend drink from the empty cup.

I'll never understand how any character the Rock plays isn't obviously hardcore into working out. Any scene where he's just talking he should be lifting weights. If someone calls him he should be always at the gym. Any home they show him living in should be filled with workout equipment. Everytime he leaves a scene he should say "I'm off to the exercise". You don't see dudes like that walking around like "oh I'm a vet. I spend all day saving animal lives then go home and watch tv".

It's funny how accurate some characters in Pirates of the Caribbean (but not all) are compared to other more otherwise historically accurate shows and movies. Some of those pirates and their teeth are so grimy it's impressive.

u/DeliciousAtomicBomb May 12 '20
That's true ! Although, Will's and Elizabeth's are pristine. That's pretty much what they do with this genre. Watch Outlander, the main cast's teeth are amazing, and everyone else's are accurately grimy. I guess they want to keep the "he's/she's hot" factor haha can't blame them I suppose

u/mehvet May 12 '20
Teeth issues are absolutely a thing historically, but not always as severe as people assume. Before refined sugar became commonly available there were less issues with cavities and drilling and filling them is far more ancient than most people realize. Brushing of some type is also common in a great deal of cultures. So itās not so much that theyād all be grimy looking, but the lack of orthodontics makes it far more likely for them to be crooked.
