On a related note, does anyone have a link to that stupid CSI (i think) sketch where 2 people try to counter being hacked by using a keyboard at the same time.
Guns are always among the worst offenders in movies and TV. BITD they would have a suppressor on a revolver. And Superman would stand, hands on hips while the bad guy dumped 6 rounds, then duck when they threw the gun. Every western used the same report and ricochet audio. Sparks always fly off everything, all the time, from gun fire. You can see where the little charge went off, but there is no damage to the wall, just the scorch mark. The bad guys in the old flicks would jab the gun each time they fired.You're right, I was off with that second one. Cocking a gun for emphasis doesn't mean it wasn't in a ready-to-fire state beforehand. I think I even read about a time when a police officer pumped his shotgun (ejecting a perfectly good shell) just to scare a suspect into surrendering.
But the first one is definitely a movie mistake. Semiautomatic pistols will lock the slide back after you fire the last round, and that is sometimes shown correctly in movies. But oftentimes they'll pull the trigger multiple times and make the clicking noise, which wouldn't happen. Or if it was a full auto gun, it'll click a bunch of times in succession.
Were you going to finish that? Because IRL cats will take numerous bare knuckled shots to the face. It is harder to KO someone that way, than with gloves on.Fist fights where a person takes numerous bare knuckle punches to the face
I'm pretty sure that one was NCIS, which is basically everything wrong with television all at once. Fuck that show.
Nobody ever has to take a potty break. Except when it is a hostage that is actually trying to get away.

Noise in space. There should be no sounds from laser cannons or photon torpedoes or anything like that.
You shouldn't actually see the lasers either, and they should hit their object instantaneously and not as slow as an unladen swallow.
A lot of the things people are complaining about would make movies substantially more boring if they were shown accurately. Hacking a computer system might be fun for the person doing it, but there's literally no one on Earth who legitimately wants to watch a real hacker at work. Oh boy, the code is compiling; this is riveting stuff. Eating, giving birth, driving across town, finding a parking spot... who the fuck wants to watch someone circle a parking lot 5 times then give up, park three blocks away and show up in the next scene all red-faced from having to jog to make it to the meeting on time? There's a reason movies use unrealistic conventions for the passage of time, and it's because the audience demands an engaging story. Drawn out scenes that don't advance the story serve no purpose, even if they are more reflective of real life. Real life is frequently boring; tell me you wouldn't skip that drive across town if you could "movie drive" it and be there in 4 seconds via jump cut.
That said, there are a lot of areas where movies screw the pooch quite badly, including some ludicrous ideas of what hacking is, completely misrepresenting guns in every conceivable manner and the idea that everything in the world will explode if shot in the right place. It makes things more exciting, so I'm willing to forgive most of it, but cars don't blow up just because they got into an accident. It's like filmmakers live in some alternate reality where the Pinto was the basis for all future cars.
