Human females are so hot everybody wants to do them. Angels, demons, devils, aliens... Come one come all!
Welll, I could see the angels, demons, and devils n such, as they are human mythology related, but aliens, yeah, that would be strange. But, I can't really blame them TBH. I do kinda like the human form.
Mannn, what a bummer of a finale they did on Grimm. I mean make ya watch EVER dern body get killed and then come round and basically say 'Its ok, there fine', with NO followup with Nick, just his boy. I wanted a rum after that.
Well AC in the above didn't find human females of value at least, IIRC. I never could figure that out at the time I saw the few episodes it was in, why a hermaphroditic organism would take offense only to females.
But I mean cute lil Katy Manning (in the first appearance of AC) though? That critter was definitely alien then, hehheh.
I might have said, looking in the opposite direction, "Humans being attracted to the alien, albeit anthropomorphic aliens, but some of these alien-esk creatures are er, uhm, uh... just can't say I can't stand it anymore, nope, just can't. (Of course not Jean-Luc , but I mean ol 'Jimmy' Kirk, that dude would shack up with bout ever alien-esk woman he could find)
Borg Queen: 'Come away with me and forget this Enterprise' Cap'n (me, hehheh): 'Enterprise? What's that then? Sure babe, when we leavin?'
Continuing on the space theme: No matter which race and planet anyone are from, everyone still measures time in Earth years.. Interresting that ppl who are born in space and have never set foot on Earth does this.
Exactly, @Skatan ! It was so annoying when Asari from Mass Effect games would constantly talk about history measured in Earth years. Krogan Rebellions were two thousand years ago! Like, even some nations on Earth have their own measurement, so why freaking aliens would use ours?

Also isn't it curious that most inhabited planets have a 24 hours day?
I don't mind the "everything measured in Earth time units" trope because that gives us, the viewing audience, some context. If I were from a different planet (actually, I am, but we'll discuss that elsewhere) and I tell you "you have 2.5 cycles to do x before I start doing something awful" that gives you no information whatsoever because you don't know how long a "cycle" is. We actually base our time unit on cesium 133 atoms at 101.325 kPa, an elevation of mean sea level (0 m), and extrapolated to a rest temperature of 0 K; other species will use something different (probably a different atom or some other established constant). Of course, as an alternate method you could just define your base unit of length then define "one base time unit" to be the amount of time it takes a photon to travel that distance. Anyway, as I said that convenience is for us not the characters in the show.
As for language, most shows just "deus ex" it with a "universal translator" because they cannot afford to hire cast members to act as the translators for the main characters speaking with each other...unless they use a C3P0 character, but that character would need development beyond "my purpose is to stand here and repeat what everyone else says in different languages". Babylon 5 got around this because the non-human main characters all learned English as they were going to an Earth-based space station. In real life, though, we already have smart device apps which can translate written words in a picture in real time, which is actually pretty handy. Once that sort of app is updated to be able to translate speech in real time we can wear a headphone or earbud-type device and finally understand each other more clearly.
That's not correct. Everyone knows that female orcs, trolls and demons have much larger breasts.
Our movie deals with the military in some way, but we're too cheap to hire a military consultant.
The actors are walking around with hats on indoors. They call sergeants "sir". They refer to marines as "soldier" and anything with treads is a "tank". I could go on and on...

That would be a breach of forum's PG-13/Teen rule, unfortunately.

Oh, this reminds me.
Foreign languages. (Or was it mentioned already? I forgot.) You've got a nine-digit budget, you live in a digital age, how the hell you can't find a native speaker to fix the damn grammar and maybe fill that minor role that absolutely requires text to be spoken?
@BillyYank not doing research, or not hiring people who actually know stuff (or hiring them but not using them), is a common thing in films, sadly. Almost every historical film hires a historical consultant, but most of the time they don't actually ask them anything, or take any notice of what they say. I guess it's the same with military stuff.
Speaking of military cliches, one thing I've always wondered: is "Sir, yes sir!" actually a thing, or is that just another Hollywood cliche that's become so popular that every film must have it in scenes when military cadets show up for training?

We never said that in the Army. In basic, it was "Yes, Drill Sergeant!" I have heard that the Marines call their Drill Instructors "Sir", so maybe they use that phrase.
1) 99.95% of all politicians are ignorant, stubborn, reactionary, corrupt, greedy, unenlightened, uninformed, and/or lazy - and of course dead wrong about the main topic of the movie.
2) In the rare cases where a politician is right, he or she belongs to a vanishingly small minority or splinter group that nobody listens to, except scientists, environmental activists, and little children with more common sense than an entire parliament, congress or cabinet put together.

I'm yet to see any discrepancy here between fiction and reality.

The hairstyle holds... by every weather
