Ulthar, I know exactly what you're talking about. Nothing bothers me more than some sourpuss who gets annoyed by kids just for being kids. And it's all the worse at church, where everybody talks about how much they want more young families and kids coming out, then act like a***oles to the ones who do. That stuffy old church attitude doesn't fly the way it did when more people considered church a compulsory activity, and generally stayed in the church they grew up in. Nowadays, it has to be welcoming and relaxed and tolerant, which most people understand. There's just always some old bat who ruins it because she honestly doesn't get that she's doing anything wrong.

One of my unfond memories was going to church one day when I was around 10 with my neighbor's.   They had a daughter my age I used to hang around with.   I don't recall acting out of the ordinary except maybe talking with her here and there tops twice.  Boy did I get a lecture from her grandmother about how at church you can't act like that in church blah blah blah.  It p!sses me off when I think of it today.

I hate how it seems like everytime I call the clinic I go to to make an appointment with my doctor, I can never get anyone to answer the damn phone.  Either it'll ring about a dozen times or it'll immediately give me a "all attendants are busy, please try again later" message. 

Sometimes I think about using the automated system to call another department and ask them if THEY can check to make sure someone's actually at the front desk!

Superhero parodies. Yes, there are many inherently silly things about people with superpowers running around in spandex and probably causing more property damage than the people they're fighting generally do, BUT superhero parodies are a dime-a-dozen these days. Most of the jokes have been made, so new parodies really don't contribute anything (after all, a successful parody tends to make a point about the source material).

Why not move on to other genres? Those depressing movies tailored to win Oscars are getting a bit high on themselves if you ask me.

That's a good point. Parodies mostly seem to poke fun at the kind of genre pictures their target audience likes best - horror, sci-fi, action, thrillers. But there is a lot of untapped comic potential in letting the air out of the supposedly "important" movies.

I think parody movies have run their course. Sure the Scary Movies were fun for the first few but now all of these parodies have collapsed on each other to the point of it just being stupid and not funny.  I say save the satire for Mad Magazine who has done it right for many many years.

They did a mini parody of that in Scary Movie 4 I think.

Now, now. Those people aren't the only ones who do satire in movies these days (although what they do can hardly be called satire; more like saying "this is a thing that happened! Remember that? Now laugh!"). Pixar still does some, although they tend to avoid doing movies that focus on them (eg- WALL-E did poke fun at consumerism while underlining how serious the subject is).

However, we do need some more serious works. We know the flaws in fantasy, sci-fi, etc, so it's high time we go about fixing them. Otherwise we're going to end up not really knowing exactly what we're poking fun at anymore.

People posting updates on forums about movies they are watching. Just happened at two other forums:

"I'm halfway through this film and it's sooo boring"

"This film is great, ten more minutes to go!"

I hate that. Either take your time to watch the damn movie or turn it off.

Let me update that:

People with flakey movie opinions you never cared about posting their thoughts on (obviously downloaded) new movies (while obviously watching them on their pc). And b***h about how bad the movies are.
Annoying trend that still continues  Bluesad
