movie tropes that will never get old to me:

• a thing happens + two people exchanging money in the back
• fourth wall breaking
• “give up all your weapons” and that one guy that spends the entire evening taking his weights worth out his pockets
• *a terribly loud crash* meowing/ car sirens heard offscreen
• alternatively: a terribly loud crash and one of the characters going “oops” in the most casual voice
  
• “fuck you” “well if you insist”
  

#alternatively alternatively: *terribly loud crash w/ sirens and cat screeching*#person: *off camera* ‘I’M OKAY’ (via @zenlida)

character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X

• the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies
  
• people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them
• alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit
• bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”
• someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)
• choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character
• the “hands go down” trope
  
• example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*

how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”

These are all great but let’s not forget two characters giving extremely biased flashbacks to the same event that each paint the other as an incompetent loon

i would like to respectfully add: scenes where a character walks into a room, sees something scary, and turns around and walks out with no reaction or change of expression

Bonus points if he DOES react, but it’s to close the door and tell his buddy “it’s for you.”

• Intentionally getting wrong easy-to-pronounce names (“It’s Sean, isn’t it?” “Dude. It’s John.”)
• That one character who is like actively dying but insists they’ve had worse and wants to keep fighting
• Knocking down a big group of opponents with a bowling ball sound effect
• Convenient book titles (“Plot-Related Thing for Dummies”)

Characters giving a flashback and voicing all the characters themselves

ALL OF THESE

the characters fighting in the background and destroying the building while the camera focuses on a janitor listening to music in the foreground and not noticing
