something that irrationally irritates me are sound effects. 1 specific thing are SHING sounds. They are everywhere once you notice it. It is perfectly parodied in Childs Play when he picks up a hammer and it goes SHING.

This is up there with the shotgun *chook chook* noise that is used for every single gun ever. Including a double barrel shotgun in an episode of NCIS i believe? But has also been parodied to death in some rather humours ways elsewhere so at least some people are aware of bad foley artists.

I was kinda peeved that War Machine in Age of Ultron didn't have the big loving glowing club that his Hot Toys figure had.

It looked like it'd be pretty cool, and I was looking forward to him baseball smashing some ultron drones but nope.

Also, apparently we made Netflix start recommending movies cause the first thing that popped up when I started it today? Mummy Returns.

He has the club in Civil War, not Ultron.

This trope is the basis of my favorite - very brief, but perfectly-timed - scene in the Scary Movie franchise:

The hardest I've ever laughed in a theatre was in that same scene when Mahalik decapitates the alien and goes " I found their weakness. They're powerless without their heads!". Underrated as hell

My irrationally irritating thing is that Leslie Nielsen was wasted in Scary Movie 3. He needed more screen time.

Also, why are scary movie 1,2,4, and 5 all terrible / don't hold up, but 3 has some legitimately great scenes.

Well I was gonna say it's because 3 was directed by David Zucker (writer/director of Airplane!, Top Secret!, Police Squad, The Naked Gun series, etc), but apparently he also directed 4 and wrote/produced 5, so that makes the argument a little less powerful. Although, I haven't seen 4 or 5, so I'm just taking you at your word that they're not great.

The original was okay because at that point everyone was sick of Scream 7/I Know What You Did 10 Summers Ago/other slasher flims im forgetting.
Also a hot girl getting stabbed in the boob and her implant falling out was peak comedy in middle school.

4 was basically a "Epic movie" level of movie where instead of jokes and gags it was just references to Dr. Phil and I-Pods with the "LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!" Dude. loving hell, what a dip in quality after 3.

Excuse me, sir, but are you referring to Encino Man as a lovely film? How dare you.

I haven't actually seen Encino Man in 25 years, but I remember thinking it was fun back then.

I'd always heard it that he decided to only take roles that he thought his kids would love (stuff like Inkheart) as he wanted to be a better role model. Being box office poison makes a bit more sense, though sad. He did some good poo poo before it all fell apart.

Loved him on Scrubs, though.

Don't loving mention Mortdecai. They took a hilarious book (Don't Point That Thing At Me) which would have made a great movie, and churned out a steaming pile of crap. Reverse Midas touch.
