Personally I like Ouiser the best, but nobody had a believable accent in that movie!

Except Dolly, of course ...

There's one scene in the Charlie's Angels movie where one of the girls shoots a compound bow up at a helicopter from the back of a speeding boat. If I recall correctly, she didn't even pull it to full draw and she still managed to aim steady while bouncing around the boat, hit the 'copter and blow it up. As someone who once was a competitive archer, I was like:

Of course...for Tennesse, maybe, but this was North Louisiana. No one in North Louisiana sounds like any of those women. I don't really expect movie makers to dissect the intricacies of varying southern accents that minutely, though.

medical dramas, everytime someone flatlines in a they bring out the paddles. it's a defibrillator, not magical bring you back to life paddles.

Ice Princess...it doesn't bother me as much as some others, but still a little irksome.
Spelling bee movies where the kids don't say-spell-say.

Movies about DC which show very tall buildings. We don't do that here.

Movies where downtown *insert major city* is ALWAYS in the background.
Also, movies that are set in Paris that show the Eiffel Tower in the background in almost every window. I'm sure Paris isn't a circular city where every building has 1 wall of windows facing the monument (which must obviously be the center of the city).

Only people from Shreveport, LA would notice this, but in the Kevin Costner/Ashton Kutcher movie The Guardian they filmed in Shreveport at Barksdale Air Force Base. In the movie, they changed it to Barksdale Coast Guard Base in Shreveport, LA which would be pretty ridiculous since Shreveport is about 350 miles from any coast!

Movies filmed in major cities where black people (or other people of color) do not interact with any white people ever in any way (except maybe as the maid). Or do not exist period.

As a former cheerleader (and a coach), I get annoyed when...
1) there is no "coach" to be seen. I'm sorry, I like Bring it On, but the cheerleaders don't choose the squad, the coach does
2) from Bring it On (again), a national routine isn't straight dancing, they (the judges) actually (shocker) want to see you do a cheer. (concept).
3) cheerleaders don't wear jewelry (i.e. pearl necklaces, big hoop earrings, naval piercings), especially not during a competition or games! Heck, my cheerleaders had to take off all jewelry just for practices. We had to warn them not to get piercings done as during the season, it would come out.
I'm sure there are more that bug me but I'm just too tired to think of anything else right now.

Well, it's on the coast of the Red River, does that count?  Plus, we can fuss at them because Barksdale is actually in Bossier City. Tell 'em that's strike #2!!!

When almost all cardiac arrest patients live on TV. People come into the emergency clinic expecting their dog that has not been breathing for 10 minutes to come back to life-ain't gonna happen-only on TV. I had one guy last week question why we did not shock his dog-well dogs are not like people, most do not go into V fib which is what people do. Also when you die your eyes stay open they don't close as seen on TV.
