Do you have any movie pet peeves?

One of mine is seeing the reflection of the green screen in people's glasses🥴

Everything is done for a reason - for example: when a desk drawer is opened and we see a gun, then that gun will certainly be seen again. Probably involved in a death.

@SW-User so movie hints? I hate when I miss the hints. I find it boring when they are viewing photos and they give clues to what's coming. Cause then I feel I have to really pay attention to the photo, vs what else is going on

@iamnikki

Yep - - LOL. It's a distraction. I NEVER get it right in a whodunit or a Perry Mason-type movie even though the clues are all laid out. This is why I prefer comedies...

@iamnikki @SW-User This is something called "setup and payoff". The first time you see the gun? Setup. Someone shot with it or finds it after a murder? Payoff.

Thanks. Now I know what to say a lot quicker and more precisely :D

@uncalled4 ooh, thank you. How'd you know the name for it?

@iamnikki I used to take classes.

@uncalled4 what type of classes? Film making or something?

@iamnikki They were more like seminars. I used to go to the movies every Monday night. They'd show a film and have someone involved with the film there--the producer, director, even the star sometimes. Mostly indie films were shown, but sometimes a Hollywood film was screened, too.

@uncalled4 oh that sounds cool. Bet those are nice memories 😀

@iamnikki It was great. I met directors, producers, critics, and the odd star, like Vincent D'Onofrio.
