Nightclub scene, people dancing having a party, but our two characters can hear each other perfectly and so can we...happening more in streaming TV lately

We watched this movie the other day. First time with the kids. My 8 year old, days later started talking about "Willy Spot" and we were losing it, not realising he thought that was the character's name (Willie Scott). We now call the little wee dot he sometimes gets on his undies after going to the toilet a "Willy Spot".

Would take him out for a 10 course degustation dinner compared to the other two
In a big city like NYC characters always get parking spots directly out front of the place they need to go into.
SLO-MO in the kids movie We Can Be Heroes.
Don’t even notice him during the movie, he is pretty much edited out of the whole movie and when he’s in it he’s an annoying little s**t. Turns up at the end and saves the day.....

Sports movies where the championship game/event always comes down to the last minute/second and involves a play that would be the most amazing of all time where it to occur at any stage of play let alone to decide the whole shebang.

Sports movies where the team sucks and instead of improving, just gain a star player or two from elsewhere and suddenly start winning

Chicken Twisty Epicurean
Movie sequels that have a considerable gap or time between them where the original protagonist now has annoying adult (or teenage) children that take up way too much of the screen time and distract from what made the original movies great.

Doing this is hugely preferable to either have the characters screaming at each other or always needing to go to another room.
No way. I love shouting in Clubs and pretending I heard the question.

That's how the NBA works though

Senior List
Sports movies where the tv commentary is clearly laid on/tailored towards the script that comes across as jarringly unnatural.
They almost always film those with no music in the background and add it in post production.
The dead giveaway is to watch the dancers “dancing”
The "wince" makes me laugh (movies)
Who knew Dettol was so ouchy?
As does the four friends (television) all walking together like a chorus line down the middle of a busy street in NYC
Hey! I'm walking here!

I find it incredible, 'according to Hollywood', that all the UFO's and Aliens from other universes/galaxies/star systems, which are light years away travel to earth and ALWAYS arrive in the USA...!!!
It sort of dispels the belief they are of super advanced intelligence and technology as surely they would undertake some basic due diligence prior to arrival and target and threaten a continent or county 'that doesn't' possess a large military presence with nuclear weapon capabilities, i.e. Africa or Australia....?
I can only surmise that if Hollywood had them arriving elsewhere on the planet then the usual conclusion in the plot with the 'USA saving the world' may not be possible....

It would be great if computers worked in RL how they work on TV & movies. Turn it on and find what you want in 2 seconds.

I think a lot of the films also usually show a co-ordinated invasion in other places. Signs and Independence Day for example had the aliens in a multitude of other countries, the story just focused on the American protagonists.
I’d also say if aliens could receive and interpret our media just in mass volume they would likely assume the Prez to be the leader of the whole world.

Sort of a relief that Shawshank Redemption doesn't do that. The Warden and Head Guard are assholes but we see that everyone else just follows orders and are otherwise just normal blokes doing their jobs.
John Connor in Terminator 2.
SLO-MO in the kids movie on Netflix, We Can Be Heroes.
One thing that annoys me is whenever there is a phone conversation in a movie or tv series , they say what they have to say but hangup every time without even saying bye or catch ya later ect...
