That one thing that bothers you in a movie

The Birdcage (1996)

As much as I enjoy The Birdcage, there is one single thing that always bothers me. *Spoiler Warning*



Before the future in-laws come to visit, Armand (Robin Williams) tells Agador (Hank Azaria) to cook dinner even though Agador can't cook. I understand that was done for the sake of hilarity BUT why didn't they just order a fancy gourmet dinner and had it delivered to the back door? They also serve food in their own club downstairs. How easy would it be to just go downstairs and get food? They still could have done the joke with the greek plates. Instead he serves a lousy meal  

The fact that they didn't just order or got the food from downstairs always bothers me

When a phone number is given as 555- it takes me right out of the narrative.

I hate the "talking to the camera" moments.  I want to watch the movie, not be involved in it.
Like much of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I hate it when blood spatters on a camera lens.

When people don't finish their meals or drinks. Like, they get to a restaurant, the plate is coming, and they have to leave immediately. Can't you just have dinner and then leave? Who does that?

Literally the only movie I recall in which the character actually finishes his meal is CHINATOWN.

What about A BOY AND HIS DOG?

Do they eat the chicken in ERASERHEAD?
I wouldn't!

Snakes blinking.

Snakes don't have eyelids.

When they clearly use non-poisonious snakes for deadly snakes.

Example: The Muumy Returns (2001)

The weird jump cut in Poltergeist (1982) right before they go to their neighbor asking him if he has noticed anything unusual going on.
It is a rather clumsy and noticeable cut, and it has been bothering me every time I watch Poltergeist.

Apparently they make a not so nice comment about Pizza Hut. According to legend, Pizza Hut complained and the studio was forced to remove that scene.

When a movie is set in some ancient time period but they use modern slang like "OK."
Drives me nuts!

Agh, absolutely. I love WARCRAFT with every fiber of my being, but when Lothar's son calls him "dad" I get p**sed off. It's fantasy! Call him "father", dammit!

How come no one ever goes to the bathroom?

How come no one ever goes to the bathroom?

unless its in a slasher, which 100% means they're about to get their chain yanked

I hate it when blood spatters on a camera lens.

I feel like this should bother me, but somehow doesn't...
