Movies where some do-gooder white teacher goes to an inner city or "hood" school to teach the uncivilized savages something profound about life, like the latest one with Hillary Swank, the name escapes me. There is always some extra "ghetto" big mouthed, Black female in the class who must be won over and an extra hard "thug" Black guy that needs fixing,one or two hispanics thrown in for good measure,lol. . White people NEVER tire of making these movies, it's the whole missionary complex they have, I guess.

What about those movies about ancient Egypt and the queen is always white and the servants are black like tar. Yet they can never rule, even though in very scene they out number the white people. Amazing innit?? confused3
What really pisses me off the most is ancient history epics like Alexander the conquer where by he alone could of traveled so far and so wide to advance western civilization. When you have just down the road Egypt and the pyramids. they sell to us that Egyptnever had maps that go that far, and yet we are suppose to believe this mess! ****** please!!! confused3

Run of the mill films that are totally stupid and pointless like STRAIGHTHEADS. I've never seen such a load of crap in ages. What a bloody waste of time!!

what pisses me off.
lets see totally wrong predictions of future events and technology. i saw this movie time cop a few weeks ago. it was made in 1995 and set in 2004. they had some futurictic tank type car the sh*t was funny and ridiculous. they never get it right its not much years btwn95 and 2004. i cando better scripts than these people and have better more realistic ideas.
another thing was the whole computer age films btwn 93-97 everything was virtual reality. johnny mnemonic the worst film ever.
hollywood pisses me off anyway.
suicide is a parmanent solution to a temporary problem.
drug addiction is a temporary solution to a parmanent
problem.

What I can't understand in some horror films is this: Why is that when somebody is in a spooky place by themselves, they see a mysterious figure sitting upright underneath some bedsheets, they know it's going to be something sinister considering all the stuff that's happened prior in the film, yet they walk over to it and lift up the sheets anyway??? WTF!! Just get the hell out of there innit!

When somebody starts running, then a rock or some other insignificant object just happens to be in the direct path that they're running in, then they trip and fall like an idiot........and it takes them like 1 minute to get up.
It's not that serious. Get up.

Two things: Blacks always being the "loud" and overly-animated "sidekick" to some calm, reserved and intelligent white/asian guy.
Blacks never getting an Academy award for playing a dignified character. We knew from the start neither Will Smith nor Don Cheadle were going to get an Oscar for The Secret of Happyness/Hotel Rwanda, but Forest Whittaker plays a dictator in a Brit-funded/scripted propaganda piece filled with a ton of lies (like Ugandan women dancing topless, when even on the DVD commentary the cirector said it was a lie -- Uganda culture being extremely modest --then why put it in there?) and it's hailed as the performance of the year.
Not surprinsingly, Helen Mirren played exactly the oposite type of character in The Queen and got an Oscar on the exact, same grounds. Double-standard? DUH!
And don't get me started about Denzel and Halle and their Oscars for playing a dirty cop and a junkie sex-addict in Training Day/ Monster's Ball. Hollywood's racist through and through. Wonder when some black Barry Gordy type will finally start their own production company so we can put an end to this sh*t.
Hey Oprah Winfrey, Robert Johnson! If you can take a moment away from going to exclusive white cocktail parties and housewarmings for a few days you could actually put the combined five or so billion dollars you two represent to good use fixing this problem.

I hate DVD commentaries where the director should be explaining an important scene in the film that most people wouldn't understand, but instead chats some nonsense about how this and that actor/actress was fun to work and blah blah and goes on for like a half hour!!

What is really getting my goat at the moment is that virtually every film/programme with a black person in it has that person fawning all over some non disscript white person.... as if it was open season on white folks.... Case in point the Recent Dr Who which just pissed the hell out of me... Sidekick fawning over skinny so so looking 40 something man, Sister just reach into a job fawning over some butters white man old enough to be her grand daddy....father of the same family and guess what he is fawning over some blond bimbo....WTF!!!!
In the series before that idiot black boy and you guessed he is fawning over Blond wannabee, who doesn't even want him give me strenght!!!!
Its like every rahtid director had a bloody remit to obliterate Black on Black relationship as out of date...GTFOH!!!

When characters use old tired lines like....
"Taxi follow that car.......I've always wanted to say that..."
Predicatble following scenes. For example with James Bond whenever the bad character captures him , they all do the same thing.
Instaed of killing him straight away, they will create this long winded method of killing him, and on top of that whilst he is tied up they will not only telll him how the long winded death device works, they will also tell him what their real plans are.
