I literally hate it when films never show scenes of people spending absolutely ages in the toilet, just sitting there for example.
Hey Graham, I think you mean "on the toilet." The only times I've seen someone in the toilet was a Tidy Bowl commercial (in the tank, not the bowl), Trainspotting, and Headhunters (2011). The last I recommend.
We say "in the toilet" in Scotland. The toilet in this case would refer to the room with the toilet bowl in it. If a person was "in the toilet" using your interpretation of the expression, we'd say he's in the toilet bowl.
I know I said before that there should be more scenes in films with people on the crapper, but now I think we need less films with those sorts of scenes. It don't make no difference to me, because I've decided never to watch any more films in my life, just to avoid scenes of people (not) taking a dump/ pee on/ in the toilet (bowl).

...you see vintage movie posters hung on someone's wall, and they're always framed and in immaculate condition? Especially dubious when it's a movie with an 80s setting, and some kid's bedroom has a poster of, say, The Thing framed and perfectly hung on their wall in fresh-from-the-art-department condition. Any 80s kid with a few movie or celeb posters on their wall would have stuck them up with scotch tape or thumbtacks, and they'd be full of frayed edges and minor tears repaired by said tape. Stranger Things is a good example, and the recent Bumblebee had an '87-era teen boy with the aforementioned Thing poster, perfectly framed and hung.
Wholeheartedly agreed! And it's not like theatrical one-shots of any movie were readily around then. Usually, the local K-Mart variety were doctored shots of scenes or celeb posings. You'd have to have a mail order catalog to get one-shots, and only if you ordered something else previously through a specialty magazine (Starlog, Fangoria, etc).

How do you feel about Dumb and Dumber's scene?

In season one of Stranger Things, one of the kids has an Evil Dead poster on his wall. That season was set in September of 1983, and Evil Dead dropped in wide release a month later.
And yeah, it was VERY difficult to get a genuine one-sheet back then unless you were in good with the manager of the local theater who'd let you have one when the movie finished its run. Nowadays if you want a good-quality reprint of a movie poster, you can order one online for less than $20.
I had a guy who sold me one sheets. . he had a store . you had to ask for them because it was in.the days of NSS monopoly

Unrealistic hunting/fishing, sporting, etc., scenes are used. In The Deer Hunter, DeNiro stalks his trophy buck which runs a short distance, then stops, then it does it again, and DeNiro runs after it, then finally obtains the perfect vantage point and then deliberately misses. I never had paid it much attention before, but noticed it when it was showing this past weekend.
Where I’m from, deer hunters (I don’t hunt) tell me that you go out before daylight, wait in your tree stand or your blind in the hope that a buck will come near enough and if you make one wrong move or miss your shot or the buck senses you, you might as well pack it in and go home because you don’t get a second try. Maybe deer behave differently on Cascade mountain.
Seems people are almost always shown catching great bounties of fish in films as well. Rarely if ever is the boredom and tediousness nor the incessant mosquito attacks shown (not that I want to be bored by showing someone not catching any fish).

Props that have no weight. When ever I see Thor hold onto his hammer (or that axe thing he has now) it looks like its light as a feather. Must be made of Styrofoam.
Well, the dude IS essentially a God.
Yeah but its a Godly weapon.  It shouldn't equate to Thor picking up a human made hammer.
Although your point is generally valid about characters holding props that obviously weigh a lot less than the item would suggest, Marvel has actually addressed Thor's hammer. The weight of it is tied to the worthiness of the person trying to wield it, which is why Thor couldn't lift it while he was unworthy, and why Hulk wasn't able to lift it in Avengers, while Captain America, who isn't nearly as strong as either, temporarily lifted it during Avengers: Age of Ultron. The hammer has also been shown to be incredibly light when someone isn't trying to lift it. During Thor: The Dark World, Thor successfully hung his hammer on a flimsy coat hanger that couldn't have held more than a few pounds, and in Avengers: Age of Ultron, I thought the table his hammer was resting on during the party was a glass coffee table, which wouldn't have likely been able to handle the hammer's weight under ordinary circumstances. So magic! I don't know if that explanation makes things better or worse.
I don't know how much Thor's new axe is supposed to weigh, but as Mr. Jack says, he is depicted as being incredibly strong, so Thor waving it around the way he does doesn't bother me.
