It bothers me how little love is given to horses in westerns. A cowboy rides into town after a long ride and stops at the saloon with no regard to the horse is common. They rarely pack any horse feed. The movie crew can't entice horses to drink from a pond. Horses were like a man's car that needed to be taken care of.
sharei was watching a movie where a guy was shot in the left leg. the next scene he was using a stick to help himself walk. the problem was he was using the stick on the left side of his body.
shareNobody says goodbye when they hang up the phone.
People in cars talking to each other, driver doesn't watch the road.
Leaving refrigerator and microwave doors open.
When someone brings in groceries always in a paper bag with a baguette sticking out.
People getting away with murder like it's no big deal.
Car crashes always burst into flames. Or cars getting shot catch on fire.
Hot wiring cars is always too easy.
Signed, million man.

Oh man, all so annoying.

The hero gets shot in the arm and is brawling minutes later. Ha! I got bit by the worlds tiniest tick five weeks ago and that knocked me right on my ass for days!

Any cop or soldier who mentions retirement or his plans of getting back to Becky and the farm is getting riddled with lead within five minutes.
Bond Villain henchmen and Stormtroopers clearly need more time at the gun range.
Oh I got one.

Superman II 😄
shareI liked that movie.
It did annoy me that they never really explained how Superman reversed the process, though, unless I'm forgetting. His dad tells him there's no going back, yet there he is after he changes his mind, with his powers again.
Even as a kid, I thought that was lazy writing.
I didn’t get it either but Superman II is a really good example of the rare sequel that’s as good as the original, it was a very good movie. Rocky II, Temple Of Doom, The Empire Strikes Back…They used to make really good sequels.
Nowadays John Wick does good sequels👍
Even as a kid Mannix pissed me off because he never showed any bruises from last night's big fight.
shareI don’t remember Mannix but I hear you. I recently rewatched Fighting (09) starring Channing Tatum and that kid was looking for a new fight the day after nearly getting beaten to death every time LOL.
Fighting is actually a very good movie btw, it’s got some heart and soul amidst all of the crazy carnage.
Your second example reminded me of "Adam-12".
shareNobody locks their door when they enter their living space!
shareAnyone can pick up a firearm and be a good shot, if not an expert marksman.
This is especially true in zombie movies. Shooting a pistol accurately is extremely difficult, but most people in a zombie movie can pick one up and be able to pull off perfect headshots, usually shooting with terrible form, often right in the middle of the forehead, sometimes while they are on the move.
One of the things I loved about the movie Shaun of the Dead is that when Shaun gets his hands on a rifle, he struggles to hit a zombie. When he finally gets a headshot, it's luck.
shooting a gun six inches from a person's head and they don't react to the sound.
shareShooting a gun in a car would deafen you for a while but it never seems to bother anyone in the movies.
Also, when you rack the action on an auto, lever or pump action gun you eject an unused round but Hollywood just seems to love that ‘KA-CHINCK’ sound effect so they use it constantly.
It does sound pretty cool.
Endless ammo…this drives me nuts lol.
No need to reload or worry about how many shells I have left in my pocket, this gun never runs out.
So many westerns are guilty of over ammo its like that don't feel the audience can count. Its the same when a gang of 10 attack and 4 are shot yet 8 ride away. Is there any western where the Indians say screw this riding in circles crap and go for a frontal attack?
shareI have seen the odd western where the horse starts chewing away at foliage. But I know what you mean and in a lot of westerns even if it’s fake the characters will ride the horses to death or use them as cover during gun fights.
shareThe instant master or expert. Usually more common in tv shows but happens in films too. Where a novice masters something very quickly and then starts to win against people who have far more experience.
Very common when combined with the Mary Sue type character.
UGH.😒
shareYou mean like in "Avatar", where this schmoe who just got a new blue body and isn't really a member of the species, captures and tames the species of pterodactyl that nobody in the Na'vi can catch or tame?
Yeah, the Na'vi have lifetimes of experience with these creatures and know all about them, and the human protagonist outdoes them all, even though he's working with a brand-new body and is an idiot in general.
Yep and at the start where he is a paraplegic than gets his new body/avatar and jumps off the table is capable of fighting a bit then runs away without much hassle given everything mentioned and puts the whole avatar thing in peril with his recklessness.
In the tv show Heartland there is a character who despite never even having ridden a horse starts riding broncos and immediately just starts winning contests.
