Things that make me angry in movies (an ongoing thread) /1

The way actors pause and look back before going through a door. /2

The way writers write dramatic lines by making characters repeat themselves. “I don’t know if we’ll make it, Billy. I don’t know if we’ll make it.” /3

When actors pretend to spontaneously dance when they have obviously rehearsed for days. That faux surprise when suddenly the entire street is doing the salsa like “OMG! Is this a dance party?!” makes me wanna put my fist thru the wall. /4

Speaking of dancing, I don’t like it when filmmakers think they can shoot a non-dancer to make them look like dancers. I’m a dancer, and dancers can tell if people can dance. There are dancers who are good actors. Make better choices. /5

Adult screenwriters writing horrible dialogue for kids.
