Silly Movie things

What I cannot for the life of me understand is that in this day and age in movies:

Plane-landing.jpeg

  • the sound of the wheels touching the tarmac of an airplane landing is instant. Sound travels slower than light. (same goes for lightning strikes)


Car-on-dirt-road.jpeg

  • tyres make squealing sounds on a dirt road. There is not enough friction to make the rubber sound like that.


Explosions-in-space.jpeg

  • space ship engines and explosions observed from outer space make sound. They do not because sound does not travel well in a vacuum.


Monitor-text-beeps.jpeg

  • text on a computer screen makes noise when it is printed. It does not.


Satellite-in-orbit.jpeg

  • when satellites are shown in an orbit around the earth the sound of 1950's Telex RTTY is heard. Or Morse code. Or both!


Knife-stabbing.jpeg

  • when someone is stabbed with a knife it makes a noise as if cutting through plated steel. A knife through meat is very silent. Try it.


Bomb-countdown.jpeg

  • countdown timers are always too slow. Do you own counting and you can sometimes find movie-seconds that last 10x as long.


Camera-on-a-ship.jpeg

  • movies shot on a boat often have the camera moving slowly clockwise and counterclockwise as if the boat is bobbing. I'm not even gonna explain this.


Binoculars.jpg

  • the view through binoculars is like a figure-8 on it's side. This is impossible, it's round!


Explosion.jpeg

  • they tap the camera when there's an earthquake or an explosion, but no-one in the picture moves.


Space-helmet-lights.jpg

  • space helmets with lights on the inside. Why would blinding yourself with light up-close be practical?


Silly-image-enhancement.jpg

  • image enhancement absurdity.


Rifle-magazine.jpg

  • semi-automatic machine gun cartridge capacity absurdity (common cartridges only hold 30 rounds)
