Look, I love a good movie, but it really gets annoying when the writers cannot come up with something original.
First, lets address horror movies.
1) Flesh eating monster running around, girl sees monster, monster sees girl, girl goes inside, runs upstairs to a room with no other way in or out. Monster has girlsnack.
Look this has been used since the first monster movies. It has been done to death in the slasher movies. Come on, how bout girl runs into room with balcony AND weapon of some kind, girl uses weapon, slows down monster/slasher, goes out on balcony, climbs lattice work to roof.
2) Boy and girl making out in back seat of car. Slasher/Monster comes up, promptly kills them both.
This happens because one of the two people stand there like idiots screaming, usually the girl. And since the 'thing' usually pulls boy out of car, why the hell cant she get in the driver's seat and take off like a bat outa hell?
3) Boy and girl having sex in bed. Dont hear or see 'thing' about to kill both of them, OR, fail to notice that there is something under the bed making noise until big steak knife gets pushed through both people.
There are a bunch more, feel free to add them in comments.
Now War Movies.
1) The good bye to girl at airport/bus/train station. Girlfriend/wife cries, boyfriend promises to come home.. (he wont, he gets killed in first action) hugs and kisses, barely makes it before transport leaves.
2) Combat scene. Clean cut kid always gets killed, bad egg turns over new leaf.
3) Hero saves platoon, takes bullet, dies as he walks back to buddies.
4) Pilots always seem to 'almost' get out of burning plane. Pilots who do get out are badly maimed, or end up as prisoners, or go back to girl they met and give philosophical discussion of war.
5) WW2 submarine movies. That stupid ping...ping. Half the time, no ping until they had heard something, then they come in and ping and drop depth charges. This is why there is the command "SILENT RUNNING" so the other guy dont hear you.
6) Same genre, some guy always goes nuts during depth charge attack.
7) Sub is so badly damaged it should have sunk, but somehow crew manage to save her and bring her back to harbor. Give me a break, flooding in four compartments? Batteries low? Silent running, but you turn on the pumps and bad guys DONT hear it? Bull sh*t!
sound carries further UNDER water than in air.
8) Inconsistency... You see one version of vehicle in one shot, another version in another shot, OR, they use the wrong thing completely.
Look Hollywood. It may not have occurred to you morons yet, but there is still a hell of a lot of military hard war from WW2, including fleet subs, two operation type VII Uboats, a large number of pt boats, aircraft, and other items. As far as capital ships go, Plenty of WW2 color combat and war bond footage, use it, then cgi the characters into the picture.
Love Stories
Simple, there is no way any of these so called romantic movies would play out the way Hollywood scripts it.
SCI FI:
Look, humanity is not going to change into a logical peace loving race in the next three centuries. So, Hollywood, when Human space ship meets alien space ship, human captain say, "it looks hostile, lets fuck with it."
You will not find a crewman who is gonna go chase down the ship's cat when there is an acid bleeding monster on board.
Sling shot orbits cannot be figured on the fly.
There is NO shockwave in space... simply because it is a near perfect vacume! Also, no sound in space, see reason above.
You cannot blow up an asteroid with a nuke.
THE SPACE SHUTTLE IS DESIGNED TO NOT BE PUNCTURED BY MICRO METEORS! You think a ship going to mars will not be? Come on, think for once. If they gonna skimp to save money, it wont be in sheilding... would probably be in something like bedding, lights, entertainment.
Finally, while sex in space is going to happen, it is not going to happen with the frequency the writers seem to think it will. Sleep, work, etc has priority over sex.
As far as parts of the female anatomy not moving in zero gee.... look with the large breasted women you insist on putting in these movies, those breasts will move according to the laws of inertia, i.e. "What is in motion remains in motion."
