Our most recent fight centered on parenting, with Kris nailing the win for Pixar and Finding Nemo. Consequently, Kris get to ask this week’s question:
Name a few things that you see in most movies that drive you nuts.
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.

Nudity in general annoys me because unless we're watching Schindler's List it's completely unnecessary. But specifically I despise the sudden male butt shot, usually occuring in British period pieces of the Victorian era. You're watching a beautiful drama, exquisitely acted, and suddenly a guy stands up from a bath and you're staring at his wet backside while sitting next to your daughter in the sofa. Bletch. And it's the only nudity in the entire movie. Why?
There was one - A Room With A View maybe - that had a three second sex scene complete with female nudity in the final two minutes before the credits rolled, after an otherwise great film. It's like finding a bug in your dessert after an exquisite three courses of dinner.
Probably controversial, if I'm the only one who's noticed this, but...
People don't actually talk in movies like we do in real life. Even with good dialogue and great acting making it feel real, think about the way you carry on a casual conversation with your friend, coworker, family member, ect, especially when it comes to funny banter, versus the way it's depicted in movies. Every once and a while, I'll see a tidbit of a scene where banter is written well, but those gems are few and brief when they happen.
