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!”
All of this.
Leverage and B99 give me these reliably and skillfully, which is part of why I love them.
character looking frozen in terror, sounding resigned: “It’s right behind me, isn’t it.”
various characters tell their version of events in mutually contradictory flashbacks; bonus points for characters in the flashbacks straightfacedly delivering implausible dialogue attributed to them by others
very clearly telegraphed lead-in to a musical number is interrupted by a character intentionally preventing a musical number
