Things You Hate In Movies & TV

I love the ruse at the beginning of the movie, Fargo....
This is a true story. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

They intended it to be seen as a true story....a style choice.
People took it literally, & have been searching for the money
hidden in the snow.
Ive seen a worse one. It's some vampire, an F-rate flick with the worst acting I have ever seen, vampires freely walking the daylight, but what makes it beyond salvageable is at the beginning it says vampirism is caused by some virus that really exists.
It's about as bad as when they claimed Blair Witch was real (but at least that one had a good sequel).

Wrestling was essentially the afternoon soap opera for men. Some gals too! *grin*
It is, and at the same time I also kind of see it like a modern Shakespeare. Violent, lewd, vulgar, and though it's stereotyped as for the rednecks and plebs, it draws in a lot of higher class society.
And it's like, the smallest thing happens and it's such a massive thing, blown up to huge proportions, time honored traditions of trash talking each other, and it's just all so dramatic and pompous and flamboyant, lmao. It really is an art form that stands in its own world.

A few things that annoy the hell out of me:

Mumbling -
And dialects that are indistinguishable from mumbling. I have a fair understanding of the English language but I'm not a native speaker. So some dialects like West Coast Gangsta slang or Hillbilly mumbling are very hard to understand. But who really doesn't speak English are the English.

I didn't read through the whole thread, so apologies if this was already mentioned...

Except on All in the Family, where there is the occasional toilet flush, no one ever uses the bathroom.
In the same vein, nobody ever locks the car door when they get out.

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

Then it got cheesy and over the top. It made pretty boy Rick Flair a Plain Jane.

Once the pyrotechnics fireworks and ribbons started I realized something.

Mean Gene was gone and I stopped watching.

Terry Funk once responded to a journalist ridiculing wrestling for all that. He went on having a song, and fireworks, and pretty girls, but wait, no, he's not talking about wrestling he's talking about every time the Dallas Cowboys score a touchdown.
Mean Gene was gone and I stopped watching.
I really only knew Mean Gene as an announcer. And for singing a not too bad version of Tooty Fruity.

I hate wrestlers given time to speak, but they're boring.
I miss the Million Dollar Man & Virgil.
They were pretty good. The Rock was pretty good. Roddy Piper was phenomenal.
And then they want to give the mic to someone like Goldberg? Isaac Yankem/Fake Diesel/Kane? Give me Jimmy Hart and Kurt Angle any day of the week. They may be irritating and obnoxious, but they are really good at it and great at making you want to see them get stomped.

On American TV? Bleeping out profanity.
It is something I really hate...listening to people cussing is liberating.
:p

I'd rather have it bleeped out than substituting
stupid non-words like "fracking", trying to make it
sound as though that were actually in the dialogue.

I hate how people drinking whisky & other
hard liquors gulp it down as fast as possible.
They've no time to taste it.

What puts bees under your bonnet?


So much of TV and movies are the very same thing: Explosions, cops and robbers, good guys and bad guys, and people with some super powers. What I long for the most is a Good Story. I want to be hanging off the edge of my seat, not being able to wait to see what happens next.

Perhaps, I have seen too many movies and too much TV. I find them lacking so very much in what counts the most: A Good Story.

I tried watching The Mandalorian.
Gave up. Uninteresting story.
