>character is supposedly playing a videogame
>mashing buttons on an Xbox 360 controller while the TV shows a PS2 game or some shit
>random "beep beep" and "bing bing" noises coming from the game, like it was from 1987
>the character making some statement about getting a "high score" or getting to a "next level" or some shit, i.e. things that haven't been relevant in most mainstream videogame genres in 20 years

Little things like that. It's not that hard to find SOMEONE who has touched a videogame in two decades.

Obvious stock sound-effects take me right out of a movie.

The worst example I can think of is from the 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead.

In the opening scene for the outbreak, i.e. one of the otherwise best scenes in the whole damn movie, when the zombified husband is chasing Sarah Polley as she drives away, he veers off and instead attacks one of her neighbors.
And when he does, it plays what I swear must have been "Stock Scream (Female) #2" on a CD of public-domain stock sound-effects that somebody got on a CD at Circuit City.

Stuff like that destroys that fragile sense of immersion movies are supposed to create.

A similar thing happens when even in high-budget TV shows, the sound of a police-radio always plays the "Dispatch Police" sound-effect from SimCity 3000.
It's not even just shit like SyFy Channel Original Movies that do that any more. I've seen that sound-effect used in shows on par with HBO budgets.

Pandering to retards by having the camera linger on something the director needs you to remember like; a street name. a price tag, or an expression.

Fuck the retards, if they can't just fucking pay attention, fuck them.

What makes it worse is whenever I see this I just know that the director thinks that half the audience will be reading their fucking twitter stream while they are "watching" the film. Fuck them, fuck them all to hell.

Kind of biased, but seeing when they give weapons to actors and don't train them on their use.

I can understand when the character is a novice, that's fine. However when it's a cop/soldier/or any character that uses a gun regularly, it's really obvious.

I was taken out of the Babadook so quick by this shit and the rest of the movie became a fucking cartoon which sucks because I was 100% invested in it.

All until Stock dinosaur roar #1 suddenly happened.

Characters who do stupid things in horror films and get killed for them.

The jump scare where you should have heard te thing creep up (like in RE1 when the zombie jumps a guy in a flooded chamber yet the zombie akes no noise walking through water, stupid.)

Maybe they just didn't have the budget to make more than one take, Ed Wood style.

the entire movie was a grimdark budget oscarbait esque war film. Segal, despite being the ONLY billing and on the cover, was in it maybe 10m of the entire 1 and a half hour film.

However, despite him being in it, the entire movie was hard to take serious when the second in command of the squad was RVD and he was, as per the norm, higher than a fucking kite

Sex scenes.
>>
>>69655443
This. Graphic sex scenes that last way too long and could have been implied. 99% of sex scenes do not fit the mood of the movie they are in. I get to wondering if these directors just want to see titty on the job.

when location font comes on screen in lower thirds, with the electronic typing sounds.

when there was no reason for a plot when all of this shit could have been solved with someone just talking for 2 min and explaining the whole situation.

when films are censored for a lower rating so little timmy can see it when it was never made for him.

When shakey cam and quick cutting are solely there to imply action and not used like it should, usually hiding poor choreography or simply the director didnt know what to do.
