Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

I hate ~~exhibition~~ exposition. It's so much more interesting when you show me a thing I don't understand and don't explain it than it is when you have a conversation that would never take place in that world because it's like explaining a sandwich to a 45 year old human being as if they didn't already know what a sandwich was, despite the fact we were shown the character eating a sandwich 4 scenes ago.

If a dude pulls out a gun made of flesh and bone and it's meant to be normal to the character whipping it out, stfu about it. Just let it be weird for the audience.

You mean 'show, don't tell'? Or how characters need to explain their world to the audience (since it is strange to the audience) but it's normal for the character?

Yeah. I used the wrong word; meant exposition as @Chetzmoka points out.

[-] Chetzemoka@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Exposition. You hate exposition :)

And exhibition games in sports. They mean nothing in the season!

I agree that exhibition is similarly as lame as exposition lol
