What I can't stand in movies.

[Crazypdog081 112]

I just watched a movie called a Stalker in the House. In it the Female Lead walks into the bathroom and starts unzipping her jeans, my heart is racing with anticipation, she gets distracted by something for a minute, but then she drops her jeans and sits, now I'm like oh f*ck yeah, but then something happens that happens too many times in movies, the f*cking scene cuts away before she starts going. She could have been going number two but I'd guess she was gonna take a piss. I hate it when they cut away though. I wanna hear some hissing or gushing.

Wrong word

Director:   "So, you're going to be going into the bathroom, then as you sit down we're going to cut.  Then you can take a break"

Actress:   "I could sure use a break, I could really use that bathroom right now.   But hey, wouldn't it be more believable if we kept rolling.  You know, for continuity"

Director:   "I guess, I mean we could sound dub some flowing water on and see what the censor board make of it"

Actress:   "Trust me, you won't need to dub any audio.  Maybe the opposite. Now can we get on with this... please"

Yea, that really is annoying.  Although I suspect the real reasons they cut-away are related to trying to get in under ___ (fill in the blank) rating and overall run-time for the movie.

Isn't it worse when people's entire lives pass by in movies or on TV without anyone ever needing to use the bathroom? It is for me anyway...

The simple reality  is that in a film such as that, peeing is utterly extraneous to the plot since it is not pee porn. So there would be no point in asking the actress to pee on film and she might regard it as a bit weird and unnecessary if asked to do so unless given a good reason why it is necessary plot wise. Mainstream films are after all not made with the arousal of pee fetshists in mind.

lol I think I'd find it weirder if right in the middle of say the big fight scene in Avengers Infinity War Thor suddenly put down his age and went "back in a minute guys, gotta go to the bathroom" 😂

All this seems very strange to me.

Have you ever noticed that in soap operas a lot of the social interaction occurs in pubs or bars where everybody is drinking yet no one goes to the toilet?

Funny you should mention that because something similar happens in a deleted scene from Endgame

Haha yes! My point exactly

[Scot_Lover 1,777]

Or they keep filming, and it ends up on the cutting room floor.

Yes, generally this is something which I have noticed.  Coronation Street is a notable exception as people often go to the toilets in the “Rover’s Return” pub and in “Roy’s Rolls” cafe.  Sally Metcalfe was even shown squatting to pee outside when her bladder begged relief on New Years Eve and the need to pee has been mentioned when Tim was hospitalised following a heart attack.

Emmerdale has also touched on the subject when Marlon Dingle first returned home after his stroke and the difficulties of toileting were mentioned including others having to help him.
