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.

Freezing in space. There is no atmosphere in space, and nothing to convect heat. You would freeze VERY slowly (maybe over a week?) as the heat is radiated out. This is assuming you aren't too close to the sun.

Flammable oxygen. Oxygen and Carbon are both required to burn. One doesn't ignite the other. Basic combustion is a reaction between Carbon and Oxygen.

Wilhelm scream. I liked it in one movie. The rest it just takes me out.

Missing headrests so you can see the back of the actor's head.

TIL 18-36 hours to freeze in space.

Yup I'm a huge sci-fi nerd and this is my number one pet peeve in media.

YOU DON'T FREEZE INSTANTLY IN SPACE

The Wilhelm scream kills me.

I instantly recognize it every time and it turns anything into a high school drama play

There's one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.

In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio's special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn't know this detail of physics because he's an ancient Aztec.
