I hate that people never say "bye" on the phone.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 33 points 4 months ago

Are you even allowed to end a phone convo without 20 byes and 30 ciaos?

[-] DNOS@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

What Is ciaos ? Is It commonly used also in english or are you an Undercover italian ? 🤔

[-] wieson@feddit.org 12 points 4 months ago

I'm German, but we use ciao all the time (we spell it tschau)

I say it sometimes. Is "aight" a good enough bye, what about "later"? Sometimes if it's a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

[-] allywilson@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

I say bye all the time. Every phone coversation.

For it is :

  • Preparing a huge breakfast and then they take a bit and they say I need to go
  • People drinking coffee or other drinks but you see clearly that they don't, why film that ?
  • Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.
  • Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.
[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Eating and drinking on set is notoriously difficult to pull off. You see one take, but the crew has done about 17 takes of the same scene. Even with chefs on hand, they can’t bloat the actors up with food. Hence why in most dinner scenes, there’s a lot of cutting and mocked chewing but little goes in their mouth.

[-] Sprokes@jlai.lu 4 points 4 months ago

It is not that difficult as other directors do it well. I see that in Japanese shows. It is OK if actors pretend to eat or drink when it is believable. In many episodes of Seinfeld we see the actors drinking coffee but we can clearly see that they weren't taking a sip.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 16 points 4 months ago

Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

As an asian that will be scolded if i ever do that, it weird me out and it does left an impression that westerner wear their shoes inside their house.

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A lot do, but also a lot don't. It's household by household.

I'll also mention that you can probably expect people who grew up in no-shoe households to have strong feelings about it.

Just drive like Nicholas Cage drives.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 67 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Characters pretending to play video games on a controller

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 33 points 4 months ago

And the story is set in modern times but it sounds like an 80's arcade cabinet. Bwoop-bwoop pew pew!

Granted some people are so focused while gaming that they look like drowned salmon, but streamers have proven you can still be emotive and act whilst gaming lol.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 15 points 4 months ago

Bwoop-bwoop pew pew but they button mash like hack and slash

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I remember hearing Atari 2600 Pac-Man sounds on more than one occasion.

aggressively randomly clicking everything at once

[-] Louisoix@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

Well that's me with Messmer yesterday...

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I love this fight. Very punishing, but this one and Midas were very hard and still1 fun to learn, also reliable to dodge. Rennala though... took me at least 60 tries and I only got through with parry & bleed dagger (My build is FTH / DEX with colossal 💀). And then the endboss - honestly no idea how to do it...

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Rellana was fun! I was using backblades at the time, and so with my mimic and the summonable NPC, it was like a freaking anime battle. Just constant dodging and sword slashes from all sides. Much more fun than the lion.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 46 points 4 months ago

Also no helmets. Can't cover the face even when wildly impractical.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

You probably meant motorcycle helmets My mind immediately went to Avengers Endgame. Everyone removing their helmet everytime they had anything to say... Was an awful direction

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 11 points 4 months ago

And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I honestly don't get it. Recently read a manga and they ACTUALLY WORE THEIR BLOODY HELMETS DURING BATTLE! It was glorious! Occasional a stray bullet destroys the helmet sadly...but for a large chunk of it all, they actually fucking wear them! You could still tell who is who by body proportions, dialog and context so that wasn't really an issue. Also it's hella dramatic to take off the helmet after battle or when trying to negotiate with someone. It just makes soo much more sense!

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 13 points 4 months ago

Feels like the issue is to not cover the actor's face because that's where the perceived value are. Drawn media doesn't have that issue, so they can do it in a creative way.

I'm a doctor so I know how dying people act. It's unrealistic that a dying person, like a couple of seconds before he/ she's completely gone, to talk much sense. They speak random stuff, disoriented, or in a complete panic state until they lost their consciousness and then die short after.

They remove the rear view mirrors a lot too

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Every movement with a gun sounds like there's a loose screw in it (it always clicks). Also it usually has a clip of 300+ bullets.

Every mouse or keyboard input into a computer, every loading bar, every screen popping up makes screaching sounds. Except when having a failing DVD drive or broken hard disk I've never heard any computer making these sounds.

A secret tracking or listening device has a blinking red light and beeps.

Every car, always with airconditioning, drives with open windows because of the window reflections. Even during rain, extreme heat or highly contagious zombies trying to bite you through the open window.

[-] 97porcentofracassado@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 4 months ago

Don't forget the loud sound when they turn on lights in a theater.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

I worked at a place that had lights like that, took forever for them to reach peak illumination

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

the gun sound they always use is the sound of a colt single action revolver which has a very distinct set of clicks.

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want

Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.

[-] uhN0id@programming.dev 12 points 4 months ago

And I always anticipate an "unexpected" crash that almost never happens. Even in shows where it would never happen.

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

That view of the driver, looking out from the front passenger side out the driver's window always makes me anxious for this reason. It's like Chekhov's gun. Why would they pick that angle unless the characters were about to get T-boned?

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

I dunno, have you seen the drivers out there? Pretty sure some of them are watching movies.

Headrests would have saved poor Marvin's life.

[-] myphatself@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu had a bench seat and headrests didn't come until the 66 model. A 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu could have saved Marvin.

Mid twenties teenagers with 30 year old parents.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 10 points 4 months ago

That's not an unfair portrayal in the southern US.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 4 months ago

When the character that's "driving" keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.

When two characters look at something off-camera in the distance and stare at different points in space (why didn't the directory catch that?!).

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

I mean tiny bit is somewhat normal to correct for road camber or rutting...but those doing it back and forth like they are in a 70s pickup truck with fully worn out steering rack and bushings is pretty lame

[-] anachronist@midwest.social 5 points 4 months ago

When the character that’s “driving” keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.

He's trying to keep the "hands on the wheel" warning from going off.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Most of the time when someone talks on a cell phone the screen stays on. Like wtf is the purpose of that?

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Whelp. I'm never gonna ~~under~~ Unsee this.

[-] rndll@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Getting over it is overrated anyways.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Constant gear changes for no speed, acceleration or grade change of road

[-] anubis119@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Head restraint.
