TROPES

Things I am sick of seeing used in movies or TV because they've just been done to death:

1. Characters singing along to music while driving.
2. The phrase "I'm sorry for your loss" - especially in shows set in times when it never would have been used.
3. People saying 'come on, pick up' when they're waiting for someone to answer the phone.
4. People throwing their head back after putting pills in their mouth to signal that they have swallowed them.
5. Actors crying in emotional scenes to show off the fact that they can cry on demand, while displaying zero other emotion beyond the tears themselves.
