Does anyone else hate it in movies and tv shows when an actor takes a bite of food and they chew it for the remainder of the scene, and it’s usually not even that big of a bite!
“Owen, be me a little. Just for a little while. Be me.”
I find it hilarious when people criticize the film Juno because “no teenager talks the way Juno does, only adults can talk like that”. Umm NOBODY talks like that. It’s called film. In film it’s okay for people to talk in more interesting ways than we do in real life, because otherwise movies would be fucking boring.
Some movies are more exaggerated or stylized than others when it comes to dialog, and how the characters act, but it can be okay either way as long as the way they talk and act is consistent with the tone.
I understand comparing movies to real life because when movies are set in the real world we expect “plausibility”, but sometimes you just have to turn off your brain and get lost in the material. We shouldn’t think in such a restricted way when we watch movies, because it makes irrelevant the reason we watch them in the first place.

Seated at a cafe table tucked safely away from the bustling Waldorf-Astoria lobby, the pair — now both 13 — appear fearless and focused. Kara is exceedingly ladylike and poised in her green knit Rachel Roy shift, while baby-blue polo-shirted Jared has grown 5 inches, and his voice has deepened since the shoot last year.
He is still more boy than man, an only child whose proud mother, Leslie, uses her son’s photo as a phone cover. When Jared mentions a recent film obsession — the 2010 superhero spoof Kick-Ass— he feels obligated to politely mouth the second half of the title.
Oh my god he’s obsessed with Kick-ass too, also Kick-ass isn’t a spoof person who wrote this article!

Something I’ve realized is that on the rare occurrence that I do read a book it’s because it’s the basis for a movie or a tv show. Which bothers me because the magic of a book is that the world is created in your head for your imagination, and obviously when you see a movie you (or at least I) tend to project that onto whats described in the book.
