Okay so this relates to TV show's and movies. Post I hate it when....(one thing you hate) and give an example (or more if you're that passionate about it) to give people an idea of what you're talking about, which of course they can always ask if they don't understand. My first post will be used as the example.

I Hate it when.....shows are cancelled too quickly (well too quickly, for me anyway) (Touch, Firefly, Ringer, 666: Park Avenue, Veronica Mars (the reaction from those who watched the movie, including those I know who were not fans of the series proved a better point for this show than I can ever make) because in the case of Firefly, it never really gives viewers the chance to invest time in something you're gonna axe so quickly. You're not giving them time to properly get into/understand anything. In the case of, say, Touch, a show that's unique, you're taking away characters and other elements of a show that people did invest their time in. If you can't air it, fine. Try getting the rest of the show on Netflix or some other streaming site instead of just cancelling it.

I hate it when new films use old worn out cliches as if it's supposed to amuse. Example "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

I hate it when cast changes are made a season or two into a series. It can completely ruin a character's motivations and dynamic if done incorrectly.

I've recently been catching up on a childhood favorite of mine: Ghostwriter. There are a few cast changes early on that don't make much of a difference but now that I'm on season 2 a huge cast change has occurred. The character of Lenni has had her parents changed.

Originally she had a struggling musician father. Her mother had died earlier on in her life. They even had episodes that directly surrounded her emotions on the matter of her deceased mother but all of a sudden she has two new parents out of the blue. I honestly thought the series of episodes I've just started watching took place in an alternate universe.

Also the character of Jamal all of a sudden has a little sister.

I can understand killing of or removing characters only to bring in new ones (like in TWD) but to just cast-change out of the blue ruins character dynamics.

I hate it when sequels are made with the soundtrack score made by a different composer.

I hate it when :--

1) Characters bleed and talk for 5 minutes before dying, then their heads just roll over without gasping or choking.

2) Fingers and toes of decapitated carcasses do not twitch.

3) Long and generic inspirational speeches before a battle.

4) Good scores are suppressed by SFX.

Examples :--

1) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001) : Death of Boromir

2) Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator, 300, etc. etc.

3) Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) : King of Rohan, before Battle of Gondor
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) : Elizabeth, before Maelstrom battle.

4) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) : Freeway Battle; Driller Attack.

These may not be the best examples, but these are first ones that came to my mind.

I hate it when TV shows and to a lesser extent some films, use footage which is obviously stock footage (and isn't used in a legitimate documentary capacity). The exception to this issue is Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space where most of the movie is stock footage.

hate it when TV shows use the same stock footage of the city they are supposed to be in, in different episodes. So the same person is doing the same thing 6 episodes later.

I have a long string of shows I never had the time to get into, only to find out later that they were cancelled all-together. It feels twice as tragic since I always wonder if I had been more into the show at the time whether it would still be on the air.

My HD is full of a few shows that i liked the premise of but were cancelled prematurely, in a folder called, "Shows that didnt make it."

I hate when people say I'll call you or i'll pick you up later and they don't give any phone details or addresses.

I hate it when.. Your boss calls a dept meeting about the no cell phone usage policy, yet he stops mid-convo to answer a text.
