One-word review excerpts on movie trailers, e.g. "Spectacular" .. "Thrilling" .. "Amazing", that come from actual reviews like this:

"The director's most spectactular failure in a long line of horrible movies."

"The soundtrack was thrilling, but was wasted on a pointless film."

"Such amazing special effects, but the script's a disaster."

There is a movie out now called Lucy starring Scarlett Johansson as Lucy who for some reason or another begins to use 100% of her brain instead of the 10% us mere mortals use. I know right?. Anywho I saw this amazing review on the movie that was entitled, "10 plots the screenwriters of 'Lucy' could have come up with if they'd used more than 10% of their brains". Nice.

You mean you aren't ready for the WHITE KNUCKLE THRILL RIDE OF THE SUMMER, PROMISING TO LEAVE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT EVEN THO YOU PAID TO SIT IN THE WHOLE THING?

It's why box office receipts are no indication of how good a film is. Anyone ever had a refund after sitting through a turkey?

Damnit, I thought I was going to see 100 percent of her boobies instead of ten percent.

Torrent receipts however give a very good indication of how good a film was.

Just saying...

I demanded a refund after a movie once. May have been the Cruise "War of the World" regurge. I think I actually got it too. If this became a trend think how this would affect the industry.

I haven't had this shit happen to me for quite awhile now.

I don't really have many personal files on my computer, and the ones I do are backed up.

From now on, I think I'm just going to throw my computer away and buy another one for a couple hundred bucks instead of going through that.

Adults who use terms like "killing it" or "crushing it".

I'd like to kill them by crushing their skull.

It's painful. Hearing a 48 year old neighbor of mine use the term "crushing it" to describe some country performer he saw in concert made me hate him double.

Buzzwords are also infuriating.

I also detest the word Buzzword.

I hate it so much, that I now hate "buzz" and "word" separately. That's three words I have to hate because of one. It may soon approach Fibonacci like rates. I'm scared.

When people in the course of business say "reach out" or "reaching out" to someone. That annoys me. Especially when you can instead say "ask" instead.

Fucking losers.

G-d forbid (just kidding, I'm a lapsed Catholic) that they say "call" as well. Reaching out is such bullshit. Like calling low level employees "associates".

Or having to wear a suit and go through a screening process befitting someone running for the presidency, just so you can work 15 hours a week washing dishes.

"Specialist" is equally annoying.
Person 1 - "The ladies room toilet is overflowing because someone dropped an upper decker!"
Person 2 - " I will call the janitorial specialist"

I once had a nightmare after too many beers that I was forced to attend a community theater musical with family members. The show was called "Fibonacci's Sequins." Needless to say, it was not a good time.
