People Say These 30 Things 100% Ruin A Movie For Them Every Time

this needs to be higher!

Not just movies, but also in television with the constant background music, especially in shows on Discovery, History Channel, etc. None stop dramatic music doesn't make the show more interesting and I can't hear the dialog.

Yes! this! Our elderly neighbor banging on the common wall every time we watch Snowpiercer the movie. Our walls are thick, we rarely watch movies and they are old as f**k, I have lived here 15 years longer. Let me have 2 Saturday nights a year to home cinema.

My Stereo has a setting that actually takes care of that. It automatically lowers the loud parts and increases the quiet parts. It is called "night-mode" or something, the idea is when you are watching a movie when the kids are sleeping and don't want to wake them

Sometimes there is a 'compression' setting that automatically makes soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer.

And glasses

I actually prefer her with the glasses. Anyone?

Welcome to made up reality people. That's why our expectations even as men are so warped.

Mortal engines is my fave for this, book has her as having a horribly deformed face, film has her with a bit of a red mark. Same director created movie Golum!

Most people actually look hotter wearing glasses!

or even alien computer, which is somehow, pretty similar to our earth computer.

"Oh look. It's a picture of his most beloved daughter. His password MUST be her birthday (or anniversary of her death)." My passwords are 15 characters, easy to remember and would take a super computer decades or centuries to guess using a brute force attack. All you need is an easy to remember phrase interspersed with numbers and characters. For example: Out_Of9This4World* All you really need to remember is underscore, 9, 4 asterisk. Capitalize the first or last letter of every word and you'll meet almost all password requirements except stupid ones that only allow one number.

Or all the computer people are all standing up. There isn't a chair in the room.

You wouldn’t buy someone who could instantly guess the combination to a safe - so there’s no reason this should fly either. The solution is not to show people laboring at cracking security, it’s to avoid making instant password-cracking a plot point in the first place.

yeah and on their screen a video of random animated graphs and complex calculations or just random symbols appear and scroll so fast, lol. always the same trick.

Or that only 1 gets to float on a door and the other drowns

Also, when time spent makeing a way to slow down the bad guys takes more time than the actualy slowing down (ie most Macgyverisms)

There's no time to explain - actually, there's plenty of time. Explaining that you don't have time to explain took longer.

Or if like the main character time travels and only brings enough time travel stuff to get there and back. Then they sacrifice their way back and become the hero blah blah blah

These kinds of scenes take away from the tension in the movie. They have become cliche. It really gives away what is to come.

And it's usually the only good part of the movie

These days the trailers literally tell the whole movie in a summary

Or when the trailers show something that never happens in the movie.

Even worse is when you watch a movie because of a scene you saw in a trailer but they ended up cutting it from the movie!

OMG, yes. I was watching a trailer for a TV show and thinking, "I don't need to see the premiere of this show -- I've just watched it. The trailer must have taken up the entire 4-min commercial slot. And I've seen worse.

It's okay if this is a feminist soapbox. This really does affect women.
