        The news is complicit here too.

        BBC news: “Is your local phone shop guy part of an international criminal gang network? Let’s hunt him down on the street and ask him in whatever broken english he has.”

        Meanwhile, a guy is actually walking around with a machete at the hospital near my work because he came to finish off a guy he’d wounded earlier (I shit you not). Not even a mention. A small clipping in a local newspaper.

      And no one is suspicious if I sit in a car outside their home for 7 hours. Eventually crawling away with a tyre squeal.

    PUT. SOMETHING. IN THE FUCKING CUPS.

    Beans, orbies, just make special weighted cups for sets. No actor in the history of acting has picked up an empty paper coffee cup and gestured with it as if it had something in it.

    And while we’re at it… in this the year two thousand and twenty five, how do we still not have prop ice that floats?

      Someone pointed this out to me once, and now I can’t unsee it. It drives me mad. Every cup, every scene… Weightless and fake.

      PUT SOMETHING IN THE DAMN CUPS

    Mostly tv shows I’ve noticed this, but all the sets and homes look impeccable. Not a speck of dust, not a hint of mess. Even in shows where kids live in the home. Everyone JUST got their hair trimmed, they wear pants at home and always pop in on each other. But the lack of mess is maddening.

    Also in period movies and shows, even the peasants are always wearing clean clothes

    What pisses me of is when major studios make an entire show about a specific profession but cant be bothered to consult anyone from said profession
