Not only in movies, in series too. Fake coffee. People takes hot coffee in a disposable cup, never burn their hand, can drink it like water or says damn it’s hot but the cup is empty, they never dropped a drop, never choke, never spill it, etc. They can drink it and talk at the same time, run with it, etc. I hate it.
I know this is a common complain, but they have tested with special cups that have weights and special compartments to have water. Audiences can’t tell the difference. People complain that the cup is empty when it’s filled with water, or are fooled by empty cups, so much as to not matter. Unless you can see the liquid in the shot it doesn’t matter. The things like sipping or trying to move fast, are what gives away the state of the cup. Not the acting. And for those scenes there are other concerns like spilling, that are more trouble than they’re worth.
It’s a continuity thing, apparently. If the level in the cup keeps going up and down in a single scene, it’s more distracting than a clearly empty mug.
Bad physics. Totally pulls me out of immersion.
No, Captain America cannot lean back and hold a helicopter that is lifting off. It doesn’t matter how strong he is - he will be lifted once there is enough force generated from the propellers. Basically anything Batman does that involves gravity in the Nolan films is similar.
The magic I can get behind. The mutant stuff or dragons or even time travel in superhero movies doesn’t bother me. It’s the lack of sensible mechanics on an alleged Earth that I’m bothered by.
I get your point, but I will say the Captain America scene isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility. Cap weighs the helicopter down for a few seconds, and grabs a support beam for the helipad as soon as he can. If Cap can keep a grip on both the beam and the helicopter, then the propellers will only lift him if either Cap or the support beams break.
Of course, whether he should have had that much effect on the helicopter for those first few seconds is another matter entirely and I’m not enough of a physicist to make that call.
Yes! This seems like the right movie. For a few seconds before he grabs the pole, he does just lean back, right? That is the part that concerns me the most. At least this in the image seems doable if somebody is cap strong and angry.
I don’t think he’s able to stop it by just leaning, I thought it was pulling him along.
Edit: yeah, doesn’t look like he’s stopped it till he grabs into the railing. https://youtu.be/1ccey7IJLCM
Badly performed CPR. Extra point if it’s surprisingly/unrealistically/impossibly effective.
Real hospital CPR is eerily calm too, actually. There’s no frantic screaming of random adrenaline medication names and bogus doses. No defibrillator is hastily setup next to the patient. There’s no aggressive ECG beeping. IRL the whole ordeal is done calmly and almost in silence. It does calls all the doctors available to the patient and everyone self appoints to a specific job, one install the breathing pump, another monitors the pulse, a third prepares and administers medication if needed, nurses walk family away and set up curtains around the patient, etc. They take turns on compressions every minute and a half or so because properly done CPR is physically tiring. The time is kept by the most senior doctor who decides the time to stop and pronounces the dead after a set amount of CPR time without patient response. You either come out of it or you don’t. There’s relatively little drama involved.
People always hang up the phone without saying goodbye or anything. I read that it’s some time is money thing in film and TV but it just sounds like bullshit to me.
I thought that was just an American cultural thing.
In the UK, you have to say bye at least 3 times.
TV shows and movies only make you think it’s a cultural thing.
We say “bye” here in the US after essentially every phone call otherwise people would probably be confused at when the conversation ended or when you’re hanging up.
An exception I’ve had to this is when I’m getting a phone call where someone is trying to meet me at a location. I might hang up without saying bye if we both make eye contact in person and find each other. Because we’re going to continue the conversation in person anyway.
There are other rare exceptions like this, but it’s definitely culturally expected for you to say “bye” before hanging up!
