Played out tropes in TV and Film


The OP

Recommended Posts

American CIA agents operating in a foreign city such as London or Paris taking out their guns and shooting at the bad guys in crowded streets with lots of civilians around. Has this actually ever happened in real life

When folk are playing video/computer games and they're shown to be mashing every button repeatedly and also rocking the thumbsticks in ludicrously random directions.

On top of that they physically move the controller side to side and up and down for some reason.

Do they still do that? I thought that would've died out by now as more and more actors actually had experience of playing video games.

It was a real generational thing in the Eighties when you'd see people in sitcoms supposedly playing games - kids laughing at the ridiculous movements, adults confused about what was so funny.
