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.

I especially dislike the "There's no time to explain!" when there clearly is time to explain.

Like, you can spit out "Vampires are real and the head vampire wants to eat my sister" pretty quickly to get key information across. Don't need to provide the whole context.

Not a movie, but one time in a tabletop RPG one of the players was trying to say "There's no time to explain!" and the other just wasn't having it. After two back-and-forths he was just like "If you had explained instead of saying there's no time, there would've been time!" Was really funny to watch that play out live.
