The Mayor ,'End of Days'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Rocky beaches and cliffs in Florida.
I don't watch CSI Miami so I have no idea how accurate that show is or if they've ever filmed in Central or North Florida but the other thing is getting the land wrong. Florida is a fairly diverse state and North/Central FL does not look like South Florida.
The other thing is characters that work at computers but the actors are obviously randomly pressing keys. Especially if they stay on the home row for the entire time they type.
not a peeve, but how did "blind murder witness" become a trope? there's a new one coming out and I swear I've seen a ton. kinda freaky, huh? I think a movie that was really about adoption would be like "The Wire"
I have to say I adore Indiana Jones, despite the fact that as a former archaeologist I never wore a fedora, used a whip, or BROKE as many damned things as he does.
I hate the rich men wear ascots trope.
I hate the rish men wear ascots trope.
Bwah-Ha-Ha-- although it is kinda a great shorthand when working with high school actors, for some reason.
I once dated someone who wore an ascot.
I went to college with a guy who occasionally wore and ascot. And yes, he was rich, but even the other rich kids thought he was OTT.

Any of these guys solve mysteries? Drive around in a weirdly-colored van? Been describes as a "meddling kid"?
Not sure of my guy's exact finances, but since I met him at his sister’s wedding in the Royal Chapel in the Seville Cathedral and his family had a box in the Real Madrid stadium, I’m going to go with rich.
ETA: He did not solve mysteries. The only mystery was why the f*ck I thought dating a guy who wore an ascot would be a good thing.
And while I can't think of an example offhand, I react worst when it's done with music. If you're setting your movie in the '80s, your soundtrack shouldn't include "Baby Got Back."
Dirty Dancing!!!
