Minor things...TV/Film edition

The Cowboy · August 6, 2015

Aside from the main fume thread, what things do your head in, in the TV and film world?

No 1 for me has always been how they never seem to use Windows or whatever the Mac one is, but use some proper 'OS For Dummies' instead. And it always seems to take about 5 mins to download a 1MB file to a flash drive.

No 2 is how in any one-sided fight, the larger group will stand and take turns to get spanked, rather than just all wade in and give the guy a good shoeing.

Ever notice when someone goes into a pub on TV and asks for 'a pint please'?

A pint of what mate? We serve about 17 different beers.

Car chases through city centres. No-one ever gets to move more than 3 car lengths at a time in real life

Yet always end up with a massive bruise if they get slapped on the cheek.

People do that in bars in the UK, it's not only on TV.

I literally had situations where a bloke walks in, sees the 8 beer taps in front of me and goes "a pint please mate" and just looks away as if it's just one choice.
