We discussed annoying gun stuff in movies and tv shows a few weeks ago, but what else makes your eyes roll? I was watching an episode of SG1 today and Carter and Frasier are hacking into a computer, and Frasier is telling Carter this is going to take time just as Carter says, "I'm in"!!
Same for an episode of 24 where Jack Bauer is uploading something via his phone while he's driving, and it goes right through.
I can't get my computer at work to where I need it in under 2 minutes. The hamster has to start spinning on his wheel, I have to sign in with HR to prove I'm there, and there is a series of prompts. Certainly connectivity and computers are much better these days, but it's funny how writers and directors erase away time and HR in scripts.
Honorable mention goes to the cop who gets killed 3 days before retirement.
