What are some of the things you're sick of coming across when you're watching TV?
First thing that comes to mind for me is people saying 'you're insane'.
Antagonist: "...and if my plan comes together I'll be both incredibly wealthy, and in control of the entire world!"
Hero or damsel in distress: "You're insane!"
Antagonist: "Uh, not really... money and power are pretty down to earth and mundane goals, and this plan I've come up with has a good chance of working if a hero doesn't come in and fuck it up. I'm a total bastard yes, but I don't believe that qualifies me as being insane."

Suspenseful/scary music in a nonsuspenseful/boring scene..

Cheesy sex scenes. I actually don't like sex scenes in movies at all. If I wanted to see that I'd be watching a porn instead. I think alluding to the people having sex is a much classier and useful way of telling a story rather then having the actors fake having sex.
Anyway Cheesy sex scenes that pissed me off!
Shoot 'em up- Cheesy movie anyway, I wish I had been on drugs while watching this because at least it would have been enjoyable. But the gunfight/sex scene was just too fucking retarded. And bullshit she came from that, Us girls need rhythm!
300- Ok...... That sex scene was just awkward for me to watch. (AND CHEESY) I think I actually closed my eyes. I mean, was I supposed to be watching an hardcore action film geared at guys or a soft-core porn intended for 40 year old lonely housewives?? There was waaaay too much sensuality! That would be like watching a close loved one or best friend making slow passionate barry white sex to his girlfriend. It's just awkward.
Good Luck Chuck- Any of the sex in his montage. I love montages in movies, but that was just gross. Pretzel chick? How is that hot?

The obvious choice for worst sex in a movie goes to "The Matrix : Reloaded" simply for gratuitous Keanu Reeves ass.
Best sex scene in a movie : Shoot 'Em Up because it doesn't even try to be serious

I didn't see that one because I make it a point not to watch the Matrix but I did hear it was pretty lame.

Lost, Fight Quest/Human Weapon, and Smash Lab.
Watch, now the community will collectively burn me at the stake because I dislike Lost.

just about anything that is not from the 90's... I just cant get into some of this crap.. The good stuff seems that it is far and few these days. Maybe its just me...

people saying "oh my god" didn't use to bug me but Scrubs ( <3 scrubs <3 ) uses
it to end every other sentence and now I'm gosh darn sick of it.

"reality" TV should simply just go away.
Survivor: They're not surviving, there's people who can haul them away to a hospital, there's food, they don't have to hunt to survive, they're not eating bugs. Fuck, I've seen more "survivor" things come from Bear Grylls on Man Vs. Wild (which is just about as fake survivor as the TV show "Survivor" but the man wore a pee soaked headband... That's just awesome and hardcore).
Idol: Pointless...
Big Brother: If I wanted to watch room mates be douchebags to themselves, I'd get room mates.
etc.

I really like "Survivor Man" they always put him in situations that fucking suck, but he usually has tools with him to help him cope.
One episode he had to survive a ice cold tundra and was given a broken down snow mobile. It's crazy how he used the different parts and pieces to help him survive the harsh climate.
He claims that he films everything himself with multiple cameras. I've seen him ditch a bunch of recording equipment and spare cameras because he had to carry other things with him to find water, ect. *shrugs* I find it very believable that he is out there alone doing it.

Survivorman is tame.
in Man vs. Wild the following has occurred:
Eating raw meat and live fish (OM NOM NOM NOM), staving off hypothermia, and drinking the fluids of elephant feces and his own urine for hydration.
That last part... that one right there. I know Bear Grylls has chilled out at hotels during recording in the past, but that's not the point of the show. We all know he can survive. Survivorman is dead boring and likes to point out the obvious:
"If you're cold, don't take off your clothes" really... I would have thought that I should do that in MINUS FUCKING FIFTY DEGREE WEATHER!
Plus... Far less elephant shit juice drinking than I'd hope for. :D

Hero is shot, stabbed or somehow wounded and appears to be dead.
BUT HE OR SHE IS NOT.
The power of the world/the power of the gods/the power of love means they FIGHT ON and beat the bad guy..
Bad Guy is in such shock "HOW CAN IT BE? HOW CAN IT BE YOU ARE ALIVE!" that he dosnt actually bother fighting back and is easily defeated.
I cant actually think of many examples of this but it happens alot. It is stupid and a lame way to end a story. Why didnt they just have these powers anyway? :/
It is pathetic and overdone. :fu:

I just watched a movie last night that reminded me of something else I dislike in movies/tv
People that fall madly in love or people that grow to care about each other that would normally take weeks/months/years and it happens in a time frame of about 2-3 days.
Have a montage or imply that time has gone by instead of it happening overnight. That shit just doesn't happen in the real world.

Another thing I'm sick of seeing in movies, the 'mirror reveal'; where the hero/victim closes gets something out of their bathroom cabinet, then closes the mirrored door to reveal... THE VILLAIN! Right behind them!! Or alternatively it reveals nothing, after a tense build up meant to make you think that someone will be behind them.
It wasn't a bad idea the first time it was used, but by now it's it's been done so many times, and subverted, and parodied, that it's lost all worth. And if I ever see it in a movie again I'm going to cry.

THISSSS
I'm so sick of big brother, but nooo it has to be exclusive in Phili and so on and so forth.
And I'm getting tired of overly dramatic telenovelas, I am a helpless poor heroine that is in love with a rich guy so on and so forth. It's just tiring :illness:
But then again this is the only means fili people enjoy their lives <_<

Horror films in recent years.
I dont really watch them anymore but from trailers and what little I have seen, it seems every film is just the same old boring shit.
I put it down to three different types.
1. Hi, we are trying to be exactly like the Ring. Based in a modern day setting, we use modern themes just to creep you and really have the same boring kind of plot in the end.
2. Saw type - Make up a rather bland and sick plot. Make sure it has as much gore as possible. That will be well scary!
3. Post-apocalypse. These ones can be quite good but Id like a bit more originality.
Generally it seems there are lots of really shit movies with pathetic actors, useless plots, which look like they are directed by exactly the same person. They somehow keep getting made, keep selling despite them being absolute gash.
Id just like them to go back to back to the older themes and maybe try and mix them with modern themes. Go back to just having a murderer or something, try and invent some kind of new slasher or just some kind of new monster. Go back and just have some kind of vampire plot or something. Just stop with the Saw and Ring style shit. :fu:
Or actually do something original.

Man, the reality tv stuff I totally agree with. Let me break it down for you by making my own reality show about my current location:
------------------------------
Narrator: 9 people in a college cafe will be put to the test: How long will they sit there before they get bored? The action is intense!
(clip of two girls)
Girl: This smoothie is really good!
2nd Girl: Try these fries!
Narrator: The people are real.
(clip of girl and guy)
Man: I was gonna catch a movie today.
Girl: That's cool.
Narrator: And the food is cooked....
(clip of worker turning around with food)
Cook: Number 76 is done!
(slow motion clip of worker turning around with more food)
Narrator: Will they get to class on time?
...
Student Body
See it tonight at 9/8c. Fuck the other time zones.
--------------------------------
Yeah. Sick of the commercials more than the actual show I'd say.
