I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

The consequences of surviving CPR are usually pretty serious too. You don't generally gasp dramatically and then wake up just fine like they do in the movies.

Totally. Oh no wait I was thinking of the paddles, what do you mean?

I understand the risks of broken ribs and stuff but I have never taken a CPR class and did think people gasp dramatically and survive.

Do you mean they don't just immediately jump to their feet and are totally 100% fine again?

Because I feel the same way about bullet wounds.

I don't know if anybody here has ever been stabbed or hit with a bullet, but boy does that s*** stick with you.

" It's fine, it went clean through".

Oh cool! So you only have like three months of physical therapy and crippled ambulation until you can move in normal society relatively unnoticed?

In the movie, 10 minutes later they're fine and are holding the stock of a rifle to their injured shoulder or injured side of the hip.

Fuuuuuuck off trope

Besides the broken ribs, brain damage is extremely common. Lack of sufficient oxygen to the brain is really not good for it.
