Hello Screenwriters!!!
I've been thinking lately about what makes me roll my eyes when watching a movie.
Where should I start?
Nerd falls in love with hottest girl in school: The head cheerleader is supposed to realize looks aren't everything; But if looks don't matter, why does the nerd fall for the hottest girl in school!
Heroes that dodge bullets: This was great in the Matrix, but now I just roll my eyes. (This has replaced heroes that outrun bullets)
Farting: This was done so well in Blazing saddles but that was 40 years ago. It isn't funny anymore! (And if a dog farts in a movie, I'm turning it off)
Boyfriend turns into a Jerk: A woman is in a love triangle during a romantic comedy, then for no apparent reason, one of the guys into a jerk. She ends up with the "Right" guy, but by default.
Characters in period pieces that have modern day, politically correct points of view: If a character is in the eighteen hundreds they shouldn't talk and act like a modern person.
What about you? Any pet peeves? Anything that makes you roll your eyes when you see it on screen?
