I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

Along the same lines, it makes people think cpr is some magical cure that brings people back from death. It is not, it is literally squishing blood through the body manually after the heart has stopped to try and buy time for health professionals to get there to institute advanced life support and intensive care (ie with life support machines) in case there is some reversible problem. The vast majority of the time a person getting cpr stays dead, especially if it occurs outside the hospital. And for the people that do make it there is usually brain damage.

This makes talking about the reality of dnr orders and things tough because people think they're saying no to some miraculous cure instead of a violent temporizer in case someone is dying of something reversible, and has no applicability to their irreversible disease.
