Fun Fact: 90% of the time, you will not get scared of any "jumpscares" from any modern "horror" movies if you watch it with no sound. The loud noise will trigger a jump, obviously. You can be reading this and then BAM, a loud noise. You will "jump" because its our natural instinct.

Loud noise = alert. You don't wake up to a picture of a demon, you wake up to loud noise (alarm).

The older female relative has a drinking problem and is always cynical and sarcastic.

The token asian friend in high school movies is the "wackiest" character and the only one who ends up without a girl.

Fast food restaurants in films are almost always either circus themed or in some cases, have a chicken for a mascot, and the manager is always a total ass.

Bill Murray as an aging bachelor with an estranged kid and/or an ex who hates him who just goes with the flow and treats life with disdain.

I have rarely seen films where the "hero" outright executes the bad guy. It always has to be under the guise of self-defense. I like the way Deadpool's ending handled this issue.

What are some other films where the main chatacter doesn't hesitate to kill the main villain immediately?

The only thing that's been getting on my nerves recently is how every single fight scene has this autistic "shaky cam" thing going on where they jump-cut every 0.2 seconds to another angle and swerve the camera around to make it seem more interesting.

Seriously watch a current age action movie then go watch a fight scene from a kung fu movie decades ago. When did the idea of being unable to tell what the fuck is going on become a viable replacement for fight choreography?

Bourne Identity movies made shaky cam really popular.

I think it caught on because martial arts was getting mainstream popularity in hollywood, but they didn't have the money or time to do legit martial arts stuff with normal actors. So shaky cam makes it look like there's complicated choreography when there's really not much going on

actually, the first Bourne film doesn't use that much handheld. it didn't become prevalent until Paul Greengrass took over in the second installment. the way he uses it is still much better than almost anyone else in Hollywood. it's the awful gun-for-hire directors that tried to rip off his technique that ruined handheld for everyone.
