"Continental breakfast": bread, baked goods, fruit.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Not at all. But original comment complained that people ignored the continental breakfast and just took bread and fruit. lol.
plainoldfool
That, that's what a continental breakfast is, though.
NotMyDad
If I cooked you a big fuckin breakfast and you took one piece of toast and ran out the door, I would cut your brake lines.

A continental breakfast is typically fruit, cold cereal and baked goods, though.

They find parking in the street, usually in front of the building they need to go to

That can actually happen in real life.

And sometimes leave the car without closing the door
idontenglishsorry
talking about closing the door, have you noticed how in every fucking movie whenever a person doesnt respond when someone is knocking1/2
idontenglishsorry
on their door, the person knocking just stright up go inside the house and check everything? thats fucked up man, much more in a country2/3
idontenglishsorry
where even watermelons have guns

That's covered actually in Film Studies. Through the past century of filmmaking, we've learned we don't need to film every action of life.

They can drive the speed limit or even have a highspeed chase in a huge metropolis. You'd be lucky to avg 10mph or make it thru a light.

Just open on the entrance then, or build dramatic tension from an argument on the 2 minute walk from the car. E.g. Catastrophe on channel 4.

Albeit if they would do hacking like say, in Sneakers (1992) that movie would be pretty cool. Otherwise its bad, but entertaining.

My wife pointed out the reflection of green screens in actors glasses and it’s all I can see now.

StrikerSashi
In low budget movies with bad CG, their chins are sometimes slightly see-through from the green bouncing off the floor.
ExplosionFish
Note that white reflects as green if the actor wears real glasses (not props). So you will see soft-box lights (white squares) as green.

When driving, they are ALWAYS moving the steering wheel slightly to the left and then slightly to the right. Drives me fucking crazy.
Wankathon
The car is actually in the back of a truck, notice next time how high the car is compared to the road
pbodq
And the crazy prolonged time that the driver is turned not watching the road. I'm always expecting a sudden crash with cross traffic.
VillainVillain
Do you only have straight roads? I do this constantly on many roads, all wiggly
TheCat5001
This was necessary and quite noticable even going straight in older cars without power steering or servo. Tiny nudges are sufficient now.
Crimesawastin
Older cars usually have a lot of play in the steering, even with power steering.
MrSaturday
My truck has about half a foot play at the steering wheel, I should probably fix that.

Nah, just keep doing that thing.

gunmen with guns rush the hero to fight hand to hand. That COULD be choreographed better...

That really annoyed me in the 4-way crossover of the Flash/Arrow/other two shows thing a couple of years back.

You had actual nazis with mid-range guns walk-up to the main heroes to fight them hand-to-hand instead of shoot them.
SaltyInternetPirate
It makes absolutely no sense that they would do that. They would just open fire.

During a space battle when a ship gets hit it starts to fall down like it’s crashing instead of just floating off.
therealjollyroger
Also sounds and explosions in space
Mithi
Most movements in space, especially small vessels, are just plane movements, which is completely BS.
ExistentialDreadlocks
I loved how Babylon 5 would use realistic space ship physics.
villlllle
Did it, though? I mean, more realistic than Star Wars OK, but ships were giant space ferries with apparently magic gravity, no inertia...

Earth ships had rotating parts for gravity, can't remember if the others had artificial, though.

Try the Expanse!

jungleofthesenses86
Also, huge fireball explosions in space when a ship blows up. There's not enough oxygen to feed that much fire.
Etrigan77
Liquid o2 tanks would have loads of oxygen... it would burn.
jungleofthesenses86
True, but it'd burn as a quick, brief flash in space. No massive, lingering fireballs.

erzengal
I loved the sound of the Prometheus and latter earth cruisers.
Etrigan77
If another ship exploded near you the blast would by carried by their atmosphere in a shock wave. It could hit your hull, with a muted thud
bolobass
There is, just no way to transport it. You'd hear all the sound YOUR vessel makes though.
Kythulhu13
Which is why I liked that scene from The Last Jedi so much.
NotMyDad
In a vacuum, there’s no sound. Outside of whatever vessel you’re in, there is absolutely no sound. No space gunshot blaster sounds
Kougeru
Not exactly true https://gizmodo.com/there-actually-is-sound-in-outer-space-1738420340
NotMyDad
There is no sound in a vacuum. That article talks about where there is enough molecules surrounding an object to allow vibrations.
bolobass
Exactly, just the ones that reach you via conduction. Only your ship goes pewpew

You'd only hear your should go pew pew when you are inside it. Unless the inside is also a vacuum then you'd hear nothing.

Yup, yup, the details are never "just details"
ngowichita
Movie is 6 hours
ArcaneDryad
Nope, 2 hrs max, 113 pages. You don’t really have that many examples of those situations per 1 movie, so just made sure to follow up [1]
ArcaneDryad
where applicable. It literally adds ~6 words / 2 seconds to the scene [2]
tigerjax
They just order a "beer"
pareidoliaperson
In animated movies, why do they move all the same way? Like the shrug, the over-explaining gestures, etc. It's even worse in games.
iheartdonut
Motion capture art is always exaggerated, as if they have something to prove.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
I mean people do this all the time online. They just stop talking, mid conversation. Like did you die? Is 'gonna go do something' so hard?
muramaza
They probably did and either the mic didn't catch or they just didn't hear it for whatever reason.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Typing. Repeated instances.

I tried that in real life. Doesn’t work
fishmaceins
Until three seconds ago I thought Americans just don‘t say goodbye at the end of phone calls. A litte faith restored!
naaninn
Also they always meet at unspecific times. "at noon", "tomorrow",...
erzengal
Nope. Tomorrow time is implied based off what the plans were. If no plans then 12, or 1 if late.
CandleToad
How is "at noon" an unspecific time?
Wankathon
It ain't high noon....
Trumpolicious
Which noon? There are at least 365 of them a year.
CandleToad
Presumably the next one. It should be clear from context.
naaninn
Oh wow. Noon is a specific time? Sorry English is my second language. For me noon could be 11.30, 12.30, 1pm. Everything from 11-2
CandleToad
Noon = 12:00.
naaninn
Well in that case I'm sorry but my point still stands. They see each other "tomorrow" or "next week".
DB4289
I speak for the entire population of Sweden when I say we assumed that was an American thing.
SjundeSjukaSjomannenSjunne
I'm with this guy???

Same.

aninvisiblemaniac
it's definitely not though in fact depending on the person you may have to say a form of goodbye about 5 times before actually hanging up
georgejimmydoodle
This. Saying goodbye takes like 5 minutes and would be dull as hell in a movie.
theresareasonforeverything
My mum does this. When she was done talking at you she just turn you off like a vibrator with a dying battery.
friendsofsandwiches
To try and conserve said batteries instead of replaceing them?
iamlamp2
That is an expression I've never heard.
AntRam95
Hang up on her in the middle of a sentence, then tell her you thought the conversation was over, since she never says goodbye
ifailedontindernowimhere
When I think of your mom I think of vibrators too.
Kithkinlord
I have a total of 3 american friends, I have never heard them say bye when done with a phone call or voice chat call.
Xenomagus
I do this....
spatrickcarder
Ray Donovan is the worst offender.
iamlamp2
It's funny because real life doesn't look good on the big screen.
UprootedGrunt
I've taken to saying goodbye for them. Almost every time.
imonsei
I have concluded that everyone in movies are assholes.

pareidoliaperson
Wait. This is not American thing? Same way I thought leaving messages even to this day, is an American thing, is not?
buttfuckery
I work in retail: people hang up without goodbye all the damn time
potatocaat
My ex used to do that, he didn’t realize it was customary to say goodbye before hanging up until I asked him why he never said bye
Wankathon
I would prefer that to our British system of bye, bye, byebye, buhbye, haha yeah, see you late, bye, bye, bye,
pennetteAlfredoIsNotAnItalianDish
You mean this is NOT an American thing?! Whaaaat
sputniknoodle
I thought the same thing! I thought it wss just the way Americans phoned.
tellmestuff
That's ride.
AyaOfAurora
Unless they say 'I love you' because someone is about to die.
TurkeySlapa
And when they’re going to have dinner next week... what day? What time? None of this is discussed!
PorneliusHubertII
Meh when i invite people to dinner i just want to confirm their availability. I set up the place and reservations myself.
MassStorageDeviceCanNowBeSafelyRemoved
cus it's at same as last time
Aprilmadness
Hey want to have dinner next week? That's great. I'll pick you up at yours. *Hangs up*
DanniLuxgarbe
This would be so easy to 'fix'. "Yeah, i'm pretty open on Wednesday. Gotta go, text me a time that works for you!"
Esdog
I grew up thinking this was an American thing, I didn't want to meet one cause I thought you were all mean people haha
HQDefault
I mean yeah, but that's not the reason
Shmeadicus
You're not wrong
o4kill
In contrast everyone I know takes 20 minutes to say bye
Aerolus
I make sure to day goodbye at least 200 times just to make sure the conversation is over
MrVito
kind of the opposite for me, I end up sayin bye 9 ways “ok, have a good one. Uh huh, you too. Haha ok Bye. Ya Take care. Talk later”
BURNtheZEPPELIN
According to most of Europe I guess we all are

It's a shame honestly, a few assholes ruining what should be the greatest nation on Earth, and the Earth.
UsagiJak
America has never lived up to its potential and it never will :(
EmberRingtail
And that is the kind of viewpoint that makes many hate you, "worlds best country" or even "could be world best country" fuck off with that
AntRam95
Considering all the genocide that Europe got away with, they’re not really one to talk
planetfinder
Some Europeans think we're overly friendly too. We talk and smile more than other cultures.
AlexjoneswatchingTporn
Ome reason i never went to America i cant stand random people talking to me in england nobody does that
FlameBeard86
It doesn't really happen in America either, unless you're in a crazy big city like New York, but thats a common big city thing world wide.
Deshalope
I felt it was a lot more common in NYC than in large European cities.
Dnkybnr
Annoying, is the word.
Blundermore
In the UK we're taught to distrust overly friendly happy people for being insincere or trying to hide something. Or something isnt right
AntRam95
And that’s why the uk is know for being full of unfriendly, unhappy people
Danack
Or even worse, they might be Americans.
RavenInFlyte4ever
Lol don't go to the US "South" then, they'll talk to anyone like they know them, more so than the rest of the country
Rignak
Yup. Cause we have manners Tiffany, Bless your Heart.
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
because its better to have a sense of a friendly community that likes each other than constantly remind each other of our bloodlust
Blundermore
Doesn't mean we can't be happy or nice to each other. But if a scouser comes up and starts talking really nicely and cheery like you're

Yeah.. it’s not the “meanness” that bugs me with Americans, but the overly friendly, loud personalities. Then again, I’m Scandinavian.. xD

It takes soooooooo long to hang up sometumes because we dont want to be rude. It is our parent country slipping through.

There are some great people here and also some are colossal assholes.
Mafalin
I grew up and lived my entire life until now believing this... :o
sparkletempt
In historical genre people way too clean, have healthy teeth, the amount of hair female char. have on their head is just way too much
therealjollyroger
I know that this is not accurate, but I don't mind it so much, these little details I am able to ignore
therealjollyroger
But what I hate, is radically inconsistent clothing!!!!
SonnyUtahna
The teeth! Yes!
RackhamTheRed
Well actually no. No teeth
AxelTenveils
Well, we have evidence they brushed their teeth, as well as they they cleaned themselves. Remember, they believed bad smell carried disease.
Schaade
In real life smelling bad keeps disease away. :)
BigJewishHulk
People weren't dirty. Women did have long hair in most regions. Even men in some areas. Grooming has always been a thing
sparkletempt
Long yes, not so much hair on their head though. Braids use up loads of hair,so seeing 10+ thick natural braids is just pure nonsense
Mimsey
Mimsey
are in the diet. So yeah, European peasants from the middle ages should probably have bad teeth if they ate a lot of bread and drank beer /2
Mimsey
but peoples who ate mostly meat and vegetables probably had healthier teeth. Supposedly, when Colombus encountered his first Americans.. /3
Mimsey
they were taller, more athletic, and had straight white teeth, while he and his men were shorter, fatter, with more tooth decay. /4
Mimsey
And it boiled down to inferior nutrition in Europe at the time compared to what the Natives in the Caribbean were eating. /5
PaladinAstro
People did take baths, you know. If they got dirt on their faces, they'd grab a bowl of water and splash. It's not hard.
Wankathon
I disagree completely, they make everyone have mud on their face and have no teeth. You've either not watched any history shows or dont know
Styxwash
Most medieval and ancient societies didn't have access to sugary foods like today, so it's actually realistic that people had better teeth.
phobos535
Maybe not better. Other things wore the teeth down, sandy remains of mill stones in the flour, for example
Styxwash
True, but I don't think that would cause cavities like refined sugar or white potatoes, pasta etc.
FuckThatUsernameIsTaken
also, the lack of color in the clothing. only brown/black...
ShadowbanMyAss
Well, pigments were expensive back then
Mickeysofine
I thought black was expensive?
phobos535
Some were. Some not. Woad was fucking cheap, for example
DangerousNoodle
Or the lack of hair everywhere else. No leg or armpit hair.
sparkletempt
Let me show you my smooth legs and 10 thick braids on my head, not even loreal can make your hair that good. Also clean skin
Mimsey
iirc some peoples have been shaving their legs and pits since ancient egypt.
IAmTheBadW01f

The other way around for. Every medieval Person is always covered in mud, mud everywhere, and noone seems to know how to work wood.

Only if they're peasants though. Lower class people always wear brown rags and never wash themselves in medieval themed movies.
Chakra5
Who's that then?
I dunno. Must be a king.
Why?
He hasn't got shit all over him.
sparkletempt
Oh yes...nothing in between - supermodels or lowest of low
WilliamElse
Yep, rickety wooden buildings that look as if they're about to collapse. These people worked with wood a lot. Their general carpentry...
WilliamElse
...would look way better than ours.
phobos535
*for me. Damnit, imgur, add a possibility to edit comments

They always wear their shoes in the house. Even when they are laying on the bed/couch, always with shoes
Spidey209
But then y'all up in Tarantino's grill otherwise.
VC999999
That's real life in a lot of the US. (I'm in Canada) Was at a friends for Christmas one year, and they had a relative from the states ....
VC999999
visiting, and the relative actually took a picture of all the shoes by the door as it was such a foreign concept. Maybe they don't get ....
VC999999
snow where they live, but still, there is all kind of stuff on the sidewalks you don't want to track in, dog "residue", spit, gum, etc
laNikiNt
A lot of people do this, though
BeerAndChips
OmnibusLatinName
So at any moment, for any reason, I could run out of the house.
BeerAndChips
You don't wear shoes in bed, though. That's 8hrs of unprotected footsies right there
OmnibusLatinName
Don't put that evil on me!
abidikgubidik
why not?
BeerAndChips
This might boil down to a difference in culture. In Canada, we tend to remove our shoes, or keep separate shoes for indoors.
BeerAndChips
... cause the shoes we wear outside are filthy?
ToolmanTR
shoes are there to protect your feet from non-carpet/smooth floors. If your house is clean, why wear shoes? Like wearing a coat at home.
abidikgubidik
If it's cold, you'd wear a coat inside, would you not?
BeerAndChips
Exactly
