Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody’s ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.
They’re always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don’t have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.
I f****** hate that.
Syringes getting stabbed into the necks of unwilling people is my niche pet peeve.
I’m a critical care nurse lol. There’s no anatomy in a neck to receive an injection. There’s not enough muscle mass, and you’re not hitting a jugular vein without a person’s full cooperation and a helluva lot of skill with IV injections. There’s a nontrivial chance that you’re just going to inject the medication into a person’s trachea or esophagus, or worst case scenario directly into their spine.
Arms, people. Arms are where we inject people who don’t want to be injected. Right through the clothes, if need be.
Peripherally related: Why are all needles used in movies like 2-3 inches long? No one uses needles that large for anything in the real world.
I suppose if one were injecting into the arm of an unwilling person wearing multiple layers of thick clothing a long needle could be helpful, but otherwise it’s just to look menacing.
and so the audience can see it clearly
My medical professional friends scream at movies and TV every time that happens.
Also, livegiving CPR.
