People Talk About the Netflix Series They Will Always Recommend to Friends and Family

Netflix is really pumping out the original content these days.

Every time I scroll through their page, there are tons of new shows that I haven’t seen yet.

But if I only had more time to pick out the good from the bad…

Hey, I think these responses are a good start!

AskReddit users shared the Netflix series they like to recommend to people.

1. Don’t leave us hanging!

“I was gripped watching Mindhunter, so good.

How are they gona leave it like they did though.

I need more.”

2. Hilda.

“Hilda!

It’s just such a chill vibe, and love the fantasy element.

It’s the perfect thing to put on if you just want to calm down and let your brain shut off (in a good way).”

3. Very popular.

“Derry Girls.

In case anyone hasn’t heard yet they FINALLY have a filming schedule for the third season of Derry Girls!!”

4. Excellent all around.

“Dead to Me.

Incredible acting, dark but funny, suspenseful, just excellent all around.”

5. Have you seen it?

“‘The Last Kingdom’ is excellent.

Its based on the Danish invasion of England. Great pacing, lots of intrigue in the plot and the relationship between the main character and king Alfred and the production value is solid.”

6. Absorbing.

“Dark. It’s a very complex and absorbing show about time travel and paradoxes in a small German town.

It might not be for everyone, as it is a lot to take in. But it wraps up the story satisfyingly in 3 short seasons, instead of dragging on endlessly, which is nice, and I also think the acting, character arcs, soundtrack/score and cinematography are all great.

It’s the kind of show you need to really pay attention to or else nothing will make sense. I recommend watching it in the original German with subtitles. The dub tracks are terrible.”

7. A great one!

“Narcos.

My favorite show on Netflix by far. Took me about 5 min before I forgot they’re not speaking in english.

I fell off at Mexico though, like I felt like everything would be a letdown after the craziness of Pablo Escobar.”

8. Light-hearted.

“Kim’s Convenience. I can’t believe no one ever talks about it.

Also it isn’t stressfully drama and tragedy filled. Just light hearted family comedy that isn’t over the top.”

9. Sounds cool.

“Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts.

Cartoon with a dope soundtrack, amazing plot and super funny.”

10. Big fan.

“Peaky Blinders.

My husband kept trying to get me into it. I resisted…. at first. Now I’m obsessed.

It’s dark, delicious, and gory.”

11. Interesting.

“Aggretsuko.

It follows a red panda named Retsuko dealing with daily struggles at a typical office job, like annoying coworkers, mean boss, etc.

But has a secret passion of letting her anger out by singing heavy metal karaoke at night.”

12. Crime gem.

“American Vandal.

This was such a great show especially with the rise of the true crime genre.

That show is a true gem. Loved everything about it. Bummed it was cancelled but maybe it was better off.”

13. Hard-hitting.

“After Life.

Hard hitting for someone who has felt lost after losing someone they desperately loved but full of Ricky’s humor.”

14. Makes you think.

“Black Mirror. It’s just too thought provoking to ignore

I can only watch one episode at a time. Each episode really hits hard!”

15. For your consideration.

“Dark

End of the f***ing world season 1

Stranger Things

Umbrella Academy

Ozark

Russian Doll

Mind hunter

Queens Gambit

The Witcher.”

People Talk About What Actors and Actresses They Thought Were Totally Wrong for Roles They Played

Have you ever been watching a movie and said to yourself, “why was this person cast in this role? What were they thinking?!?!”

It happens all the time!

But I guess there’s bound to be some misfires out there in the world of moviemaking, right?

What actor or actress did you think was totally wrong for a role?

Here’s how AskReddit users responded.

1. Hmmm…

“Everyone in The Last Airbender movie.

specially considering the fact that they took the Waterbenders (canonically the nation with the darkest skin coloring) and made all of them white, then made the Firebenders dark-skinned.”

2. Ouch.

“Steven Seagal as a person who can kick *ss.”

3. No chemistry.

“Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson in the 50 Shades trilogy

Aside from the movies being absolutely sh*tty, the two had no chemistry with each other and it was awkward as hell to watch.

More so when I found out that Jamie was married while filming those movies. The movies shouldn’t have even been made.”

4. Awesome except for him.

“Dane DeHaan – Valerian.

That move is pretty awesome except for him, it felt entirely miscast and I couldn’t believe this guy was the kind of character they were making him out to be.”

5. I can tell…

“The movie hasn’t even come out yet but Kevin Hart is playing Roland in the new Borderlands movie.

I can already tell you right now, it’s gonna be a terrible f*cking time.”

6. Sounds hilarious.

“John Wayne as Genghis Khan (The Conqueror).

That is just wrong on so many levels, I don’t know where to start.”

7. Oh, boy…

“Remember that James Bond movie where Denise Richards plays a nuclear physicist?”

8. Bad idea.

“Is it now the time to talk about Topher Grace as Eddie Brock/Venom?

Who in the ever loving f*ck decided it would be a good idea to cast ERIC FOREMAN as Venom ???”

9. Agreed!

“Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York.

It’s the only time I’ve really been pulled out of a movie because the casting didn’t seem right.”

10. Mr. Depp.

“Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.

Not because of the whole situation around it, but after reading the books and the cameos in Potter, I just don’t see him as Grindelwald, just as albino Depp.”

11. Blew it.

“Shia Leboeuf in The Crystal Skull.

That part should’ve been Short Round as an adult.”

12. No disrespect, but…

“Why the f*ck was Jessie Eisenberg cast as Lex Luthor of all f*cking things?

All depictions of him are of a tall, bald, and lean businessman.

No disrespect for the actor, I’d take such a high paying job too, but whoever thought of casting him is a clown.”

13. Terrible.

“Kristen Stewart as Snow White in Snow White and the Hunstman.

Terrible.”

14. Wrong choice.

“This might be less obvious but I hate Dwayne Johnson’s portrayal of Hercules.

He has the perfect body for it yes but it doesn’t mean he embodies the character.

I have the perfect body to play Lemony Snickett but doesn’t mean I should.”

15. Hahahaha.

“John Wayne as Genghis Khan in “The Conquerer” might be the worst casting in world history.

He doesn’t even try to hide his accent.

You keep expecting him to say “partner” every 15 seconds.”

Have you ever watched a movie and thought someone was totally wrong for a certain role?

If so, tell us all about it in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!

Here Are 10 Places You Can Stream Movies for Free

I think (and hope) we all know that stealing creative content is wrong. I know that money is tight and times are hard, but if people refuse to pay for their entertainment, the people who create that entertainment aren’t going to be able to afford to continue.

So, it’s important that if and when you download or stream content, you do it from a legal website.

Here are 10 spots that can make that happen, so three cheers for your budget!

10. TopDocumentaryFilms

Image Credit: Screenshot

This site offers documentaries in tons of categories, like war, crime, global conflict, health, and the environment. It’s easy to navigate and the community can provide ratings, which can also help you choose.

Their Top 100 list is a good place to start, and if you love documentaries, this should keep you busy for awhile.

9. Kanopy and Hoopla

Image Credit: Screenshot

Both of these sites have a large collection of high-quality collection. Kanopy has access to The Criterion Collection, and if you have a library account, you can log in and watch anything you want.

Sure, it’s one more hoop to jump through, but if you’ve got a free library account, it will open some doors.

8. Classic Cinema/Television Online

Image Credit: Screenshot

If you’re someone who loves old television or black and white films – even the silent kind – this is the site for you.

You can sort by category using the menu, and they’ve got pretty much any series of classic television you’re craving.

7. PBS

Image Credit: Screenshot

Many of PBS’s titles are restricted to paying members, but some of it’s online selection – including a series of film school shorts – is available for free.

Sometimes you can see certain episodes without a subscription, which isn’t ideal, but will get you something to watch if you’re in a pinch.

6. PopcornFlix

Image Credit: Screenshot

PopcornFlix prides itself on the idea that none of its programs or movies are more than two clicks away, and they have thousands of television shows and movies that are completely free to watch on your computer or their mobile app.

They won’t have new releases or anything that you could watch on cable, but they have some hidden gems you won’t be sorry you caught.

5. Vudu

Image Credit: Screenshot

Vudu is a paid streaming service, but they also have a free section that contains a surprising number of recognizable titles. You do have to sign up and also sit through some ads, but you’ll have access to more than 5000 titles on your computer, phone, or streaming device.

There’s tons of stuff from the 80s and 90s, since the rights are cheap, but you won’t have to dig far to find something you’ll love.

4. Crackle

Image Credit: Screenshot

Crackle isn’t just for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee anymore – the service is free once you sign up for an account, and you’ll have access to their full library of television shows and movies once you do.

Sure, there’s the occasional commercial, but it’s truly worth it.

3. IMDbTV

Image Credit: Screenshot

IMDbTV offers a decent lineup of recognizable content, even if you have to sign up for an account and watch some commercials to see it.

Not only that, you can download  it to your Amazon Fire device, and once you do, you’ll see plenty of titles you recognize – including some recent hits like Won’t You Be My Neighbor.

2. Plex

Image Credit: Screenshot

This ia free, ad-supported streaming service  – meaning you have to watch ads to view anything, but in return you get access to free television and movies, including anything from your (or a friend’s) media server.

They also recently added content from Crackle, so you get double the bang for your buck.

1. Public Domain Torrents

Image Credit: Screenshot

If you need to download content for a trip or something similar, there’s no better place to go for free stuff. Most of the films are old, but that doesn’t meant they’re not great classics, right?

They also offer many of the films in versions that are optimized for specific mobile devices, so the quality is great.

Please stop and think before you rip off books, movies, music, etc on the internet – it does affect artists.

Are there legal websites we missed that you love? Drop them in the comments!

People Discuss the Unrealistic Things in Movies That Really Bother Them

I have a very distinct memory of watching the movie Speed at the theater when I was younger.

It was really exciting, and when the part when the out-of-control bus being driven by Sandra Bullock jumped that HUGE section of highway and landed safely on the other side happened, two older gentlemen sitting in front of me started dying laughing because of how unrealistic it was…

But I was pretty young and didn’t pick up on the ridiculousness of it at the time, so their laughter hurt my feelings. And it ruined my life. And apparently, I’m still not over it…

The point is that all kinds of wacky things happen in movies.

AskReddit users opened up about unrealistic things in movies that really get on their nerves.

1. Painful.

“People who yank out their IVs.

I tugged on mine once and I f*cking cried.”

2. Seems like you’re doing fine.

“Working as a waitress, or some other near minimum wage/poverty wage job and having excessive time off and money and things like huge houses.”

3. He’s fine.

“The standard car flips over five times and catches on fire and every single time, Vin Diesel walks out unscathed.”

4. Doesn’t happen.

“Finding car keys “hidden” behind a car’s sun visor.

I don’t know a single real human who has ever used this method when stashing keys.”

5. Found it!

“People Googling exactly what’s happening to them and getting the answers they’re looking for. Happens a lot in scary movies.

A house is being haunted by the ghost of a tall man, and the owners Google “Tall man ghost” and find exactly the article that explains who the ghost is and what happened to him.”

6. No problem!

“”I need information from this computer.”

Tech guy runs over and starts hammering wildly on the keyboard, “I’m in!”

The keyboard is plugged into a xbox, and the OS is windows 2000.”

7. Let’s have a look…

“The fight or flight response doesn’t seem to exist in horror movies.

If I come across a friend’s dead body in the woods, my first instinct isn’t to investigate the scene.

I am getting the f*ck out of there and calling the police.”

8. What could it be?

“Most people in real life know what zombies and vampires and such are, but in a lot of movies people act all perplexed like “what the heck is THIS new monster thing?”

And scratch their heads…”

9. I like beer.

“When someone asks for a beer, they never specify what kind of beer they want but the bartender always seems to give them the right one.”

10. Not accurate.

“Why is Africa always depicted as nothing but dirt roads, bush and animals?

I live in Africa and have never had an elephant strolling by my window or a giraffe eating through my kitchen window.

Also, we have some really nice houses, not just huts. We also have high rise buildings, blue flag beaches, five star resorts, world standard airports (not just the dirt strips you see in movies) and much more!

And don’t get me started on the “African/Wakanda” accent they used in Black Panther….”

11. Hmmm…

“When they try to casually slip in something that you just know will be crucial later on in the film.

Like someone saying to the hero, “how’s that online course in lock picking going ?”

You know he’ll be picking a lock at some point later .”

12. Funny.

“Dressing room montages.

You waited for the last possible minute to buy that outfit you need (it’s going to change your life!) you’re not going to be laughing and goofing around in the dressing room.

You’re going to be going, “It doesn’t fit!” while your mom stands outside the door saying, “Do you think a different size would work? Do you want me to ask if they have a 12?” “NO I HATE IT THERE’S NOTHING HERE I’LL NEVER FIND ANYTHING I’M NOT GOING TO THE PROM”.”

13. This is true.

“In a horror movie, everyone acts insanely stupid.

No one ever believes each other, they go outside to investigate a loud noise when there’s been a string of murders, etc.

“Our best chance is if we split up”.”

14. All of this stuff.

“Getting a parking spot right in front of the address in a big city.

Falling 15 feet and then catching yourself by one hand on a tiny protrusion.

A character just enters the house and starts talking. Even when the scene is in an interior room. No doorbell, no getting the door.

Adults walking around an elementary school without being questioned or accosted by staff.”

What unrealistic things in movies really get on your nerves?

What Unrealistic Things in Movies Drive You Crazy? Here’s What Folks Had to Say.

I love movies and have since I was young.

But still, even I, as a film lover, admit that there are a lot of unrealistic things we see in movies that tend to happen over and over again.

What unrealistic things in movies annoy you?

Here’s how folks on AskReddit responded.

1. The battle.

“When there are 2 armies marching toward each other in formation but as soon as the battle starts it all breaks up into thousands of 1 on 1 melee duels completely ignoring the importance of unit cohesion, discipline, training, and morale.”

2. Just like in Die Hard.

“People climbing through ductwork to get in between rooms.

Most ducts are not big enough for a person to fit in.”

3. The law.

“Attorneys pacing around during a trial and attorneys approaching the judge without asking.

My personal favorite is when a new, d*mning piece of evidence or witnesses is presented in the middle of trial to the complete surprise of the opposing party.

Like sorry buddy but discovery deadline was a month ago. You should know this.”

4. Blasphemy!

“In medieval/fantasy, whenever there is a siege weapon they fire one shot and then “CHARGE!”

Like, “b*tch it took you a month to erect that trebuchet and you’re only going to fire it once?”

During the siege scene in “The King” they sat around for days and days hurling stones at the castle until the wall finally fell and I was like “Yes. Thank you.””

5. A bunch of weaklings.

“Grip strength.

People hanging off of anything, one handed, for long times, holding on to other people, pulling themselves up.

General population can’t do a pull up.”

6. Headshot.

“Blows to the head knocking someone out for exactly as long as is convenient for the plot with no long term consequences whatsoever.

Even otherwise “realistic” shows and movies are guilty of this. In reality, and blow to the head strong enough to knock you out is likely to cause brain damage or even death.”

7. Awkward!

“Walking up to a microphone and it squeals feedback.

Always.

In reality, that shouldn’t happen unless the sound person is a moron.”

8. Happens all the time.

“Any movie where the villain who is beating the sh*t out of the hero and decides to brag or monologue before killing them, which gives the hero enough time for a sneak attack or for somebody else to intervene.”

9. Isn’t anyone gonna eat?

“The food.

The poor, long-suffering food.

No one eats it. No one enjoys it.

People go to restaurants primarily to order something, have it arrive, and then have an argument and storm out.”

10. Take it easy!

“When people slice the palm of their hand open for a drop of blood.

That sh*t will take FOREVER to heal, just prick your finger.”

11. It’s all bullsh*t.

“Courtroom confessions, but also just courtroom scenes in general.

First, nobody confesses to a crime while on the witness stand at somebody else’s trial. Nobody.

Second, have you been to court? It’s 97% waiting around, 2% wondering if you have time to go to the bathroom, and 1% anything to do with you or your case.”

12. Every time!

“Turning on the TV and what they needed to hear is on TV on the right channel at the right time.”

13. Come on!

“Bad guy receives a mortal wound like a point blank gunshot to the torso or deep knife wound and just lays there bleeding profusely for a minute with the protagonist immediately forgetting about them.

Then is able to somehow stand up and have like an 8 round boxing match with the protagonist before finally being finished off.”

How about you?

What things do you see in movies that really annoy you?

People Share the YouTube Video That Always Makes Them Smile

In this day and age, I think most of us have found those YouTube videos or channels that we go back to when we need an emotional pick-me-up. The internet has so many things that are (or can be) downers, that we need to appreciate the good things it brings us, too – and these 21 videos definitely fall under this category.

My own contribution is Where the Heck is Matt – so check it out!

21. It’s the positivity that makes it great.

Best thing about this video is how humorous he is while he is obviously being pranked and can laugh about himself at the end. The whole video is pure positivity and fun!

20. The belly laughs are contagious.

12. I think he might need to give it another shot.

3. He’s obviously always been funny.

2. Kids getting harmlessly knocked over is always funny.

Kid gets beat up by carnival game. The 4th hit is gold!

1. I mean, it is ice cream.

That first taste is really something, though.

“I don’t know. Life is so uncertain. I may never get another chance.” -baby, probably.

I’m going to bookmark each and every one of these for future use.

If you’ve got another one to add to my list, drop the link in the comments!

People Talk About What Celebrities They Felt Bad for Who Got Cancelled

Famous people are getting cancelled left and right these days.

Actors, musicians, politicians, no one is safe.

And I’m sure that you know that a ton of them did really horrible things and they deserved to be called out for them.

But did some of them just get caught up in all the “cancel” hoopla?

AskReddit users talked about what cancelled celebrities they actually feel bad for.

1. That’s too bad.

“Brendan Fraser got blacklisted after being molested by a higher up in the movie industry. His wife divorced him, taking his money too.

After all the joy that man has brought us, he got the short sh*t covered side of the stick.”

2. I’m glad he’s back!

“Paul Reubens aka PeeWee Herman.

He had a reputation of being kind of a stuck up asshole when the PeeWee character shot to fame, but not really any better or worse than other famous folks. He got “cancelled” because he was arrested for public indecency.

He was caught masturbating in an adult theater. Aside from the undercover cop who caught him, he was alone, and it was a normal adult p*rnography film. But the industry and media acted like he’d been caught with child p*rn or had r*ped someone.

He’s made a bit of a comeback recently though. I think people finally realized that in the grand scheme of “s*x crimes”, jerking it by yourself in a p*rn theater is nothing at all.

I saw his PeeWee revival on Broadway several years ago and enjoyed it, and I’ve seen him on a lot of the celebrity game shows on TV recently.”

3. Too much pressure.

“Britney Spears when she shaved her head and all that.

I’m no fan of hers but she just seemed like someone who cracked under all the pressure and lost her sh*t. Craig Ferguson did an absolutely amazing job talking about that and relating it to his own life.

Major respect to him for that.”

4. Backlash.

“The Dixie Chicks got their career ended and death threats for saying they didn’t support the war in Iraq.”

5. The Hollywood power machine.

“Megan Fox.

She called out Michael Bay on his s*xist sh*t that’s clear in all his movies but what really got her “cancelled” was that she called him a Nazi.”

6. No big deal.

“Janet Jackson after “Nipplegate.”

I was a kid when it happened so I had no awareness of it but I don’t get how everyone blamed her.

Is there any reason she was at fault instead of Justin Timberlake other than s*xism?”

7. Taking on the Church.

“I’d have to say Sinead O’Connor.

She was absolutely trashed by the media. Written off as a complete nutcase and ruthlessly mocked. All because a bunch of pearl-clutching fools refused to believe the increasingly obvious realities of the Church and decided that the Pope was above criticism.

She was entirely vindicated in the subsequent years (actually, the truth was far worse than even the Church’s worst critics could have imagined), but the legacy of that witch-hunt lives on.

Did SNL, Frank Sinatra, or any of the other f*ckers who were involved ever apologize to her?”

8. A dumb decision.

“I was pretty upset for James Gunn when he got fired from Marvel for things he had said over 10 years ago

But obviously fan outrage over that managed to make Disney realize how stupid their decision was.”

9. Isn’t that ironic?

“Lisa Bonet.

Bill Cosby put a scarlet letter on her after the movie Angel Heart. The convicted rapist thought she “sullied” the image of “The Cosby Show” and “A Different World” and this affected her career going forward.

Not saying she was an Oscar contender, but I remember being upset about how mysogynistic the whole thing was”

10. Don’t hear much from him anymore.

“Al Franken.

He was both my Senator and my favorite politician.

He would have made a great president.”

11. People got offended.

“Liam Neeson.

He was having a frank and honest conversation about his past feelings and emotions around a sensitive topic from his past.

In the interview he is clear that he knows what he said and felt is wrong yet what’s the point in trying to justify it when the sound bite has already been provided.”

12. That was a weird one.

“Michael Richards.

I don’t feel bad he got cancelled. I just felt bad when he tried to apologise on Letterman and the audience was laughing and thinking it was a joke just because it was “Kramer”.

Seinfeld was a good friend and he told the audience this wasn’t a laughing matter.”

13. Thoughts on this one?

“Aziz Ansari definitely didn’t deserve the public shaming he received for what amounted to an awkward, bad date.”

How about you?

Do you think there are some celebrities who got unfairly cancelled?

What Celebrity Got Cancelled and You Genuinely Felt Bad for Them? Let’s See What People Said.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, we now live in a “cancel culture”.

If you’re a public figure and you do something that is deemed to be inappropriate, you may face serious consequences from the public at large.

But is it always fair?

Are there any celebrities out there who have been cancelled that you feel bad for?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. A rough situation.

“Amanda Bynes.

From what I’ve seen she was abused by Dan Schneider at Nickelodeon Studios for YEARS.

And a lot like Britney, is currently under conservatorship because of a total mental breakdown.”

2. You mean Encino Man?

“Brendan Fraser.

The man was groped by Hollywood exec Philip Berk and spoke out about it long before #metoo.

They instantly cancelled him and we never got to see him again till only recently… His mom also passed away shortly after he got s*xually assaulted.”

3. Shelley Duvall.

“Duvall was in a string of great Robert Altman films in the 1970s, and did her own string of Cable shows in the 1980s, Shelley Duvall’s Faere Tale Theatre, Tall Tales and Legends, and Bedtime stories.

Also, she did a few musical albums, and even created some computer games in the 1990s, like A Bird’s Life and A Dog’s life. There is WAY more to her then Wendy Torrane in the Shining.

Now, she is completly forgotten, except when people call her crazy or something. She deserves WAY better in my opinion.”

4. Britney.

“Britney spears.

She didn’t even get “cancelled”, she just had her reputation smeared all over primetime tv and THEN the courts decide that her reaction to being systematically erased from relevance was “crazy”.”

5. Blacklisted.

“Peter Norman.

He should have been Australia’s greatest athlete, but he supported the black power salute and got black listed by the Australian Olympic Committee.”

6. Haven’t heard about this one.

“David Arquette.

There’s a really good documentary called “You Cannot Kill David Arquette” about what happened and how he is now.”

7. Two good actresses.

“Ashley Judd.

Harvey Weinstein blacklisted her for years. She’s an incredible actress IMO.

Mira Sorvino, too. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who’d listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.”

8. Star of the 1980s.

“Corey Feldman.

He was the first who told everyone what was really going on with child actors in Hollywood and no one listened.

Barbara Walters yelled at him for exposing it.”

9. Pee-wee!

“Paul Reubens.

As a 1980s kid who loved PeeWee’s Playhouse, remembering how my parents tried to explain Paul Rubens getting canceled is hilarious.

My dad told me “he took off his clothes in a movie theater” and kid me was like “wow that’s really weird but I guess he is kind of crazy?””

10. Remember this?

“Winona Ryder.

That feels like one of the first big “cancels” of the Internet age.

Glad she was able to rebound with Stranger Things.”

11. This was ridiculous.

“Howard Dean.

He yelled in excitement at one of his political rallies in 2004.

People thought he was wasn’t fit to be president because of it.”

12. Outrage.

“Kind of a unique case but, Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.”

13. For speaking out.

“Not completely gone, but Terry Crews has issues getting work because he spoke out about being s*xually assaulted during the #MeToo movement.

People assumed a man his stature couldn’t be assaulted and he gave names and people weren’t very happy.”

Does Anyone Really Buy These Fake Moments in Movies?

I really love movies, but I find myself rolling my eyes at least a few times when I’m watching anything that was made in Hollywood.

A lot of the plot points are absurdly unrealistic.

Despite being so hard to believe and physically impossible, a lot of these incorrect cliches appear over and over again in the movies.

Here are 18 people who also call B.S. on these false cliches in movies.

1. Are movie couches made of bulletproof vests?

Are people shooting at you?

Take cover behind… anything!

Car doors, drywall, couches, tables, cardboard boxes, it doesn’t matter!

EVERYTHING is bulletproof!

2. What cashier can afford THAT apartment?

The fresh out of college student scoring a great apartment in a swanky part of town while working minimum wage job for themselves.

In reality, you’d have 4 roommates for such a place, or you’re living in a dump in a bad part of town.

3. Does anyone buy this?

That everyone in a Tom Cruise movie is the same height or shorter than him…

4. Who else yells at the screen?

Whenever some idiot is running on foot while being chased by a car that’s trying to run them down, they without fail ALWAYS run straight down the middle of the street.

All they have to do is simply run off to the side where there’s trees and lamp-posts and plenty of other sh*t to block them from getting hit.

In that case, I always root for whoever’s driving.

5. I get blisters looking at pics of the sun.

Fire, Lava, etc. has no heat- people can be suspended over a volcano.

Or in the case of The Hobbit, SURF ON MOLTEN METAL and no one gets so much as a blister.

6. Martyrs

The member of the group that sacrifices themselves for no reason.

7. My ventriloquist skills could come in handy

Acting like an easily removable piece of duct tape silences someone.

8. Those hackers have some kind of superpower

Hackers in movies:

*enters a few keystrokes*

“I’m in!”

9. Why does stalking = life partner? Ugh

Guys who get rejected and then stalk the girl and win her over at the end of the movie.

10. I mean, I’m not a doctor, but…

Drowning revivals.

Victim is pulled, blue, from the water.

Couple of chest compressions, hero through gritted teeth says “don’t you die on me goddammit”,

Small arc of water shoots from the mouth of the victim as they cough twice and immediately regain consciousness, sit up and ask what happened.

Alright.

11. Movie characters have no manners.

No one ever says goodbye on the phone.

12. Maybe some movie viewers have a slurping fetish, Karen!

When a character gets a full cup of a drink with a straw and they sip and it makes a slurping noise.

Drinking through a straw doesn’t make a slurping sound until the near end of the drink.

13. If I got shot in the leg I’d be crying and asking to be carried!

When getting shot, stabbed, bones broken and beaten seems to have no physical detriment on a character.

Get shot in the leg? Still able to run.

Stabbed in the back? Still able to finish a fight.

Ridiculous.

14. I never trust anyone who leaves without finishing their pizza!

People order food or drink in a restaurant, get the food, never touch it and decide it’s time to go.

15. For me it’s like two minutes.

Standing under the shower head when you turn on the shower.

Dat sh*t way too cold.

16. If I didn’t restrain my cowlick it would land on my eyeball!

Women in action movies/sequences always wearing their hair down.

Trust me: if there is any running, jumping, climbing trees, we’re putting that sh*t up in a ponytail.

17. Nobody at school never noticed my late ’90s sparkly frosted eye shadow

Nerdy girl starts wearing makeup EVERYONE notices it the next day.

18. Well, it gives me time to make popcorn before I come back

The last 30 seconds on the bomb timer lasts 5 minutes or more.

It’s good to know that a lot of people who watch movies have enough common sense to know this stuff is ridiculous, but at least it’s entertaining!
