Empty coffee cups and pretend sips.
The one that really boils my piss is when a character sits down to a meal or pint and thereās a dramatic revelation and they leave said food and beverage untouched. You could tell me my house is burning down, Iām gonna finish that three course meal before I move.

Actually eating while doing a scene - The Brad Pitt school of acting.
When Richard E. Grant gags on the ālighter fluidā in Withnail & I theyād used water each time until they were ready to shoot it, then filled it with vinegar without telling him.

When the fag theyāre smoking mysteriously gets an inch longer during the conversation
Train to Busan 2 is awful. A shame as first was great.
I always check this out!
The worst thing is when actors who donāt know how to smoke try to look badass doing it.
if a character is on tv, radio or even has a newspaper column at one point in the film you will see them plastered along the side of a bus.

Also poor telephone etiquette: the lead gets vital information then immediately hangs up with the person on the other end presumably going āā¦fucking rudeā to the dead handset theyre holding
Itās cool, they can just stick the TV on and the news will say, āā¦and now, some breaking news just in regarding the plot of this movieā or something like that.
Yeah this always gets me, literally every single TV show and movie does this. People never say bye, ever.
If anyone actually did that in real life itād probably be huge drama.

i really liked the revenant but was confused as there were no priests and nothing was particularly religious about it so didnāt understand the title.
about a year ago there was mention on QI or something like that, about the word revenant meaning return from the dead. turns out it wasnāt called the reverend.

Yeah I get that. Remember watching Martyrs a few years back, if you havenāt seen it thereās an extended sequence where a young woman is basically tortured and abused horrifically. I found that really uncomfortable to watch. When it went a bit further (she was skinned alive) it kinda got a bit silly and lost its power for me.
Also the scene with the hammer in Kill List. Fuck me.
I remember an ex asking me to put a film on for her because I was going out, I found the first one I could in the list she hadnāt seen, Snowtown, put it on and headed out. I came home and she was just sat there in the dark, with the glow of the TV looking lost and broken, oops.

The Serbian Film is well worth totally avoiding.
Oh God. Iāve seen some clips of that and just donāt see the appeal of stuff like that. I donāt buy the artistic merit in it
Did anyone see Kermodeās rant recently? He hates torture porn
