6.

If the movie is too dark. Not graphic, just literally dark. I lose all sense of intensity in dark scenes and I’m not straining my damn eyes trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

7.

When the actors whisper the whole movie and you have to crank the volume to hear what’s being said – but the soundtrack or some other misc noise starts blaring at a higher volume directly after.

8.

Too many sex scenes – seriously. I get it. People have sex. But I hate seeing it every episode when I can just have it alluded to instead.

9.

When couples in a movie/show have a fight and one of them instantly goes to a friend and ends up kissing her/him after talking for 5 minutes.

10.

An excess of random explosions. I fucking hate Michael Bay movies.
