No screens on windows, ever. People going in and out windows on homes, falling out of windows, things going through windows, and never a screen. WTF? You'd think the homes would be filled with bugs.
I think this is mainly because they have to do multiple takes and if they ate a whole breakfast every time, they'd get sick. And they'd have to fill their plates back up for each take. I guess you could make it more realistic by having the actors pretend to eat normally and gradually take some food off their plates, then put it back on for the next take, but then you also would have to have pauses while they chew or they'd have to talk with their mouths full.
Anytime they deal with guns, computers, or science they usually get it wrong.
Walter Sobchak: Jeff Lebowski? Come on-this other Jeffrey Lebowski. The millionaire: He's gonna be easier to find anyway than these two, uh, these two-and he has the wealth, uh, the resources obviously-and there is no reason, no FUCKING reason, why his wife should go out and owe money and they pee on your rug. Am I wrong?
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski: No, but-
Walter Sobchak: Am I wrong?!
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski: Yeah, but-
Walter Sobchak: OK.
Blasters are not lasers. Ya dumbass!
Unless you're in a Bond movie then the readout will be 0:07i really hate when some device is going to blow up and the protagonist diffuses it with 00:00:01 left on the clock. so dumb.

When will a minority become the hero in a mainstream US horror movie? The token black girl/guy always died somewhere in the movie of the movie. Always the quiet, nerdy,shy white person (more than likely a female) ended up as the one who survived at the end.
They had a little bit of fun with that in one Stargate SG-1 episode.And put 30 other wires going in every direction that do nothing. All red.
Then set the bomb to go off when the timer hits 1:37.
That's where the terrorists in True Lies did well. Set a nuke, then cover that shit in concrete. Ain't nobody defusin' this bitch. Fortunately they made up for that with incompetence in every other conceivable area (except getting motorcycles to defy gravity, because why bother outrunning a horse on a motorcycle on the ground when you can do it in the sky?).

Is Night of the Living Dead considered mainstream yet? It's got half of it.More:

Ooh, another Star Trek one: Everyone's all nervous whenever the computer has to fly the ship, or take over some other important job.
I think it's talking about the "POW!" shotgun sound when the switch is flipped and not the click, buzz, humm, of the lighting itself. Most relays click though I imagine some large relays for warehouse-sized lighting systems will make a very loud sound, a grid of smaller relays is more likely. Movies seem to make it out to be as if a giant knife switch itself makes the noise.A few critiques:
1. Lights in real life make noises when you turn them on. Actually, while less stylized, florescent turning on from a main switch make noise a lot like the noise in movies. But, all too often, they have regular incandescent bulbs making on/of noises, with no justification, like relays or ballasts.
