I like how when Homer Simpson’s wearing a watch, it’s because he’s going to need to use his watch.
I like seeing an extra in the background really trying hard not to laugh at something.
I like when all the passing cars in a busy street scene have been carefully choreographed to narrowly avoid the action of the scene.
I like being very aware of how quiet/silent everyone in a cafe/restaurant is because obviously if they made a regular amount of noise we wouldn’t be able to hear the characters we give a shit about.
I like how people in soaps go to hug someone, and make an overly sinister/panicked face over the huggee’s shoulder to camera, as if anyone in real life has every done this.
that reminds me @anon45164313 i tried to watch your film on iplayer but i couldnt find it, i was going to pause it and take a selfie with you like i was in the film as well but here we are
TV shows with no opening credits. Good lads, just get on with it. I am watching The Wire for the first time at the moment and the theme music goes on FOR-FUCKING-EVER
On this note, I love it when a TV show starts with a long intro, and then in later series cuts it right down so it’s nothing more than a sting. It’s Always Sunny and Scrubs are two that come to mind. Breaking Bad did it from the off.
Not quite the same thing, but on shows like Strictly when one of the presenters is doing some blurb I like to look at the expressions on the audience members behind and make up imaginary conversations they’re having.
The other week there was a bloke who started off really smiley and cheerful looking and then as Tess Daly carried on he started looking more and more miserable. I liked to think that he was contemplating the pointlessness of existence, or recalling the death of a childhood pet.
and when they do PREVIOUSLY ON THE TV SHOW and then show you the last thing a character you’ve not seen in 3 seasons was doing and you’re like “oh wow wonder if they’re coming back this week then”
edit: this isn’t something i love so shouldn’t really be in your thread i am sorry
