I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production.
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a community for entertainment industry news and general discussion about movies and TV shows.
Rules:
Freezing in space. There is no atmosphere in space, and nothing to convect heat. You would freeze VERY slowly (maybe over a week?) as the heat is radiated out. This is assuming you aren't too close to the sun.
Flammable oxygen. Oxygen and Carbon are both required to burn. One doesn't ignite the other. Basic combustion is a reaction between Carbon and Oxygen.
Wilhelm scream. I liked it in one movie. The rest it just takes me out.
Missing headrests so you can see the back of the actor's head.
TIL 18-36 hours to freeze in space.
Yup I'm a huge sci-fi nerd and this is my number one pet peeve in media.
YOU DON'T FREEZE INSTANTLY IN SPACE
The Wilhelm scream kills me.
I instantly recognize it every time and it turns anything into a high school drama play
There's one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.
In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio's special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn't know this detail of physics because he's an ancient Aztec.
