I guess I don't like most gunfight scenes in movies because they're usually unrealistic: they go on forever, no one can shoot straight, not even trained soldiers, cops and cowboys; people can be heard talking during gunfire, and people can deliver lines after being shot.
Hogwash all around.
Gunfights are often over in seconds, people get shot, gunfire is too loud to talk over, and people don't usually talk much during them or deliver poignant speeches after they've been shot.
Hollywood is mostly full of crap. As is most of what's on tv these days. And it's biased, as will no doubt be covered elsewhere on this forum in other threads, so I won't get into the biasing issue here. Which is why I don't watch much tv, and all too often when a show starts out talking some kinda technical (whatever the tech) they go along good for a while and then all of a sudden the character starts spewing techobabble, complete and utter nonsense. The actors carry it off, and most people don't know any better (which in itself is a sad commentary on the level of eductation in our society, also covered in other threads), and they get away with it.
This is a lot of why I don't pay much attention to this stuff, and in fact I almost didn't bother with more than the first page in this thread. Not to mention the OP being on "ignore" from where I sit since he can't seem to help posting on and on about movies and tv shows that aren't particularly relevant to what this place is all about, and pictures to illustrate his posts, which also may or may not be particularly relevant.
Only so many hours in a day, and our days are all numbered, and personally I ain't got the time to waste on this sort of crap. And it doesn't bode well that so many of the rest of you do. :-(
