holdouttrout: not your ordinary fish (Default)
[livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077 and I were talking about our on-screen pet peeves. Hers has to do with bad science. Mine is any time it calls for a character to "play" piano. Ninety-eight percent of the time (yes, I'm making that up), the hand movements aren't even in the right SECTION of the piano. Even when they don't show the hands, I can tell by body language whether or not the actor is even making an honest attempt.

And don't get me started on music syncing.

So what's your pet peeve? Something you know so well that any little thing wrong jumps out of you and takes you right out of the story?

Historical stuff that I know is wrong, and that I feel anyone with a basic interest in history would also know is wrong. Grr. Either a) they don't care enough to look it up / have an expert around to point out the inaccuracies, or b) they think the audience won't notice.

The entirety of the 1997-98 New Adventures Of Robin Hood series, for example. OMFG, I want the head of their researcher on a pike!
