Things you're tired of seeing in movies

Plenty of vids showing how to make a stubble with make-up. Either a full make-up trick or just to add on what you got already;)
We're not talking about getting the stubble look, but growing a full beard and/or moustache. It would talk a bit more than just a make up trick to get a convincing beard and/or moustache short of glueing one on. Some of us are just facial hair challenged. But the odd thing is that I can't do the stubble look either, probably because my facial hair is too thin. I can only look clean shaven or like I'm trying to grow a beard but I can't get a 5 o'clock shadow, I can't even get a 1 o'clock shadow.:D

To be fair, I could do plague rat stubble or plague rat ninja master, it just never fills in. I have done the makeup work before but again, it takes so much time to just do another round of test pics. Maybe, if I made a partial iron maiden..... with bristles attached to the inside of a cast of my face... I could apply all the hairs at once. I will test this horrible idea and come back later to decry stubble fake facial hair once again.
 
Spaceships that burst to near light speed or at least 50 times the speed of sound, directly from the ground and not only is there no crater but no sucking tornado vortex and destructive shockwave. Oh and when someone has the foresight to add a sonic boom it is at about the 20 times the speed of sound portion of the takeoff, not right at ground level when the ship went to mach 5 instantly. We all understand the physics behind the different propulsion systems, even in scifi ones. There IS Always an effect to acceleration and movement. Just the amount of air that would be smashed down in front of the craft, even if no exhaust was included in that propulsion type.

So my wife must have heard me whining. She just showed me a video about a new hair painting brush that does like 10 hairs at a time. Anjoize brand 4d brush. So before I create my own face cast brush..... I will try this out for my cosplays. Whining paused momentarily.
 
The "I haven't shaved in exactly two weeks" look.
Too many TV characters have that look and it makes no sense to consistently have it. The beard either keeps growing or you have to shave it off. Nobody has the same mid range between clean and full beard  all the time!
The last time I think the look worked was Don Johnson in Miami Vice. His stubble only looked a couple of days old most of the time, which made sense given the character's lifestyle.
There’s character in the Yellowstone spin off 1923 that has this. My poor wife has to put up with me pointing out every time it switched to another scene with him “ok now it’s been months, that means he’s doing it on purpose. He carefully trims every day to get that “I didn’t shave today, but I did shave yesterday” look “
 
In the 1949 "the dangers of reefer" morality movie "She Should Have Said No", a character spends 3 months in prison. They make her look haggard, but her beauty-salon-achieved eyebrows remain perfectly plucked and maintained.

Yeah... that would be an instant F-5 tornado or Cat 5 Hurricane upon takeoff.
 
I've known people who can grow a full beard in one day:po_Oo_O...
Mine doesn't grow quite that quickly, but the first couple of days that I don't shave people tend to think I was either lazy or didn't have the time. By the end of that first week (and a bit of trimming) it's, "Oh, you're growing a beard." By the end of the month, beard.

That said, except for actors who need it for their characters, I don't get the point of having stubble on your face. It looks stupid, and makes you look like a lazy moron. Either grow a beard or don't; simple as that.
 
How about her legs?:p:lol:

Directors of franchise movies saying they had no interest in the subject matter (e.g. JJ Abrams and Star Trek)…

The latest is Waititi and the MCU

 
Movies with impossible backstory. I offer Glimmer Man as one such example. Offering some backstory is an old friend / boss who tells how our hero is a sniper of snipers, a killer who likes his opponent to know just before they die. He describes the impossible scenario but starts with "Do you know why they call him glimmer man?" He relates how one sniper would be looking through a scope and is seeing through our hero's scope and right as they realize what they are looking at THEY SEE THE GLIMMER IN HIS EYE". You get it right? The dead guy saw a glimmer in the eye of the other sniper because his eye is on the other end of the scope.... you see? Like totally logical right......??? Because this dead guy, or whole series of dead guys, lived to tell someone about seeing a glimmer and then getting shot through the eye.... and dying but not dead enough not to pass on this cool legend of glimmer eye dude.

And you thought it was about his shiny coat.

In sci-fi movies with a speaking computer/AI, they should not use popular actors with distinctive voices to do the voice-over.

Moon (2009) had Kevin Spacey as the AI GERTY. What a terrific film, but every time GERTY spoke I couldn't help but imagine Spacey sitting in a room miking his dialogue.
Her (2013) had Scarlett Johannson as the AI Samantha. Same problem. And it took me out of the picture whenever she spoke.

They should hire unknown voices for these parts.

Just talked about this tonight. Anything that makes me think of the "making of" the film, during the viewing of the film, takes me out of the film.

I always thought it was a description of Seagall's intellect ("A glimmer, but not much else."). :lol:
