Paris Hilton?
In almost every film made in the USA these two lines of dialogue occur:
"I love you dad!" (usually a male to male exchange)
"With all due respect"
Bugs the hell out of me. Next time you watch a film see if you can make it all the way through without a "With all due respect" moment.

Do you know Ive always thought someone should make a film that kind finishes half way through (if you know what i mean).
The lead character should just suddenly die and the audience will be like... er... WTF?
You could advertise the film lasts for about 2 hours but plays music for the last hour after the guy dies. To confuse the audience some more.
I reckon The Departed was like that, it was a very cool film, everyhitngs going fine, Martin Sheen dies, then all of a sudden most of the cast is dead within 10minutes, just leaving Mark Wahlberg (however you spell it...)... BRILLIANT! I really hope they make a decent sequel, or even a prequel.. Only Scorsese can do it though!
Cheers

Well let's hope that everyone here has seen The Departed or that's just spoiled it

Honest mistake, Squeak.
Another pet peeve (indirectly) related to movies is when people tell you the ending of a film you haent seen.

Yeah, thats a right pain in the arse.
I tell you what I couldn't believe though, Bruce Willis was a ghost... Amazing.
While on the topic of Armageddon.
I hate movies that are nothing more than noise and explosions (Armageddon being the perfect example - I couldn't even the watch the whole thing it was that annoying!).
I can't stand the bleach bypass look anymore. It's way overused. Doesn't anyone want a film to look like it was shot, say, on earth, instead of some planet where the colors are all wonky? ... And quit ramping the camera speed just because you can!
And did someone already mention the cliche of the bad guy who's shot/drowned/burned/etc., and the hero thinks that person's dead-- until -- ?

Ugh, that sounds horrible! Maybe it was supposed to make you reflect on the medium and how not to use it.
Oh that reminds me of a pet peeve. In Commando Arnie sets up a claymore (anti personnel mine) on the outside corner of a building (facing out into the open). After he sneaks to the other side of the camp, he remotely triggers the claymore and the building blows up from the inside!
What are they expecting the audience to think? That some would-be guard found the mine, and took it inside the building for a closer look? (where's that arrrrrghhh smiley?)If you let the audience see the set up, at least make sure the outcome is plausible!
I hate stupidity in films...
Ever watch hollow man? There is a guy running around who is invisible. And they have goggles which allow them to see said invisible man!
Then they run across a person who has been attacked by the invisible man which they can only see with their goggles on.
My first reaction would be to look around. Check how the guy is and see what to do next.
What do they do?
They take off their goggles (the only thing that will let them see the invisible guy) and then look around and check how the guy is.
WTF would you take off the goggles? The ONLY way you can see the bad guy? Are those people morons? They are supposed to be scientists!
Where i work some people have to wear safety glasses and you know what happens when we have a fire alarm... they are STILL wearing the bloody safety glasses outside the building. Not even because they have too (probably just to lazy). But at least in that movie they would have had more of a chance to live.
ARGH!!!!
<Try's to calm down...>
Take that ending, multiply it by about 100000 and you have the ending of Primal Fear. Edward Norton is a genious.
