A couple of peeves I have about the movies (add your own,please).

72. In Cop/FBI shows or movies

They always explore dark places first with a flashlight before checking to see if the power is working. This strikes me as an excellent way of assuring that the bad guy can spot law enforcement and shoot first. They did it the other night on Grimm. After creeping around the spooky cabin, going through all the rooms and yelling "Clear!", they went back to the living room and turned the lights on. It would have been a less dramatic way of searching to have done that in first place, but it would have been safer and more efficient to my way of thinking.

And what's with the FBI not being able to afford either night vision goggles or a fresh set of D cells? Mulder and Scully seem to be stuck with those dim flashlights in every episode. With all those abandoned mine shafts, deserted cabins, and empty warehouses littering the sets, surely Scully should have realized this by now, since she seems to be The Bright One.

Regarding Vin Diesel, his best movie was "Pitch Black". That time it really made sense that they were all creeping around in the dark being picked off by critters, since the sun only set every few decades on that planet, and most of their equipment had been destroyed in the crash landing.
