When anybody points a firearm in a movie, it makes the sound of a round being chambered.
Drives me absolutely bat sh*t crazy.
Oh and anytime a cat is shown in the picture, there's a "meow" even if the cat's mouth obviously doesn't move.
Maybe these things are for blind people in the room. "Oh! There's a gun/cat on screen!"

I know a fair few 'pikeys' (as they are called in the UK) and trust me, he did a great accent!

Every ancient Roman, Greek, or even French and Spanish characters have English accents in English speaking movies. Doesn't matter what time period they're from.
Just get actors who speak Italian and I'll gladly read subtitles.

Ha I saw the 2nd one tonight and actually kinda liked it. I'm worried too
It was a fun film to see, a highlight was when someone took their shirt off suddenly and the entire audience went "Oooooo" then laughed Yes. How hard is it to stick some subtitles in?
My biggest hate on the accent front is the mess of accents in Valkyrie. If you're going to have the cast not speak the language and not colour their English with a fake German accent then at least make sure they're all from one country and share a common accent.

When I saw that I nearly stabbed someone, I was like are you kidding me, making a GUI does not get you to track someones IP. My mom loves the show my Dad and I walk out of the room anytime its on.

Yeah, that was technobabble gone wrong. They could just as easily have had her say something like "let me see if I can do a visual traceroute" and it would have sounded just as cool to the non-techies, and a smattering of plausibility to the IT guys.
Sci-Fi movies where aliens speak English.
Maybe they use Babel fish?
Any movie where some "genius kid" can figure everything out while adults are stupified.

That always irks me. I really liked Ender's Game, but that entire concept of the three genius children basically controlling the fate of the world... come on.

Going active is considered an act of war, isn't it?
Not to mention that it gives away your location to everyone else, like turning on a bright flashlight in a dark room.

There is some truth to Mr. DNA...

That's right about giving your position away, but it's not an act of war. Out of the four I've been on, I've heard it once, and that was only for required maintenance just to make sure it works.
