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.

"Reality" shows.

My wife tried to get me to watch American Idol back in the day. I don't remember all the details, but there were like 10 people we were supposed to follow through the process.

Day one, they took the entire group who were auditioning and divided them up into groups.

"Wow, look at that..."

"What?"

"Each of the 10 people they want us following got their own group... No single group got 2 or 3 of them..."

"Why do you ruin everything?"

I have to admit, one of my guilty pleasures are ghost hunting shows. I love that shit.

Expedition X did a trip to Okinawa, which I learned was actually conquered and absorbed by Japan back in 1609, prior to that they had their own, distinct, language, culture, and religion...

But SOMEHOW all the ghost boxes were spitting out English! Man, what are the chances?
