I do..like for instance if someone is getting chased around in like a horror movie and they don't have shoes on I think about how gross their feet must be
and how they could cut themselves on glass or something. I can't help it...
Do you focus on dumb details in movies?

Yes. I'm totally that person who's thinking about where they have to go to the bathroom if someone's trapped or held hostage or something. I also
get distracted if there is lint or something on their clothes.
Edit: As a Lost fan I think about what the girls will do when they run out of tampons and razors.  It doesn't keep me from enjoying the show, but I have given it more
thought than I should have.

I do that too.
I hate when guys in a romance film fill a girl's apartment with flowers or sprinkle petals everywhere on the bed or all that stuff cause I'm always thinking, "Who in the hellz is going to clean that up?!" It never works for me.

I do all the time. But not things like what their feet are like if they run around shoeless. But things like, in romantic scenes when a guy kisses a
woman's foot or sucks on her toe or similiar when he doesn't even know the woman that well. I wonder how he can put some random person's foot in
his mouth. I love action movies but I HATE collateral damage. In James Bond type movies, when there's a car chase I always get upset about what happens to
random parked cars that get sideswiped or cars that get forced into collisions at intersections b/c of the chase. Even more so when the good guys are involved
in the chase. Cuz I know they aren't going to contact those people and pay for their damages.
Whenever I make up a story that has a hostage situation, or lost situation, or even anything where a woman suddenly has to change into a skimpy outfit or gets part of her pants ripped, I always include a (rather superfluous) dialogue about how she had laser hair removal. I know for any tv, movie, or otherwise
published scene that would ruin the pacing of the story and that no one actually wants to watch that scene but my obsessive mind needs to fill in that detail.
The movie Cloverfield...I loved it but wow I had so many issues as far as details and plot holes.

I also hate how no one ever seems to lock their doors on tv and how people always have private telephone conversations or snoop around a room with THEIR BACK
TO THE ENTRANCE. Seriously, when I do those things
I have one eye on the door at ALL times.

I always get really mad about characters running around in high heels or no shoes at all!
Or makeup that remains perfect underwater. So yes, I focus on dumb details all the time. |

YES, I tend to over analyze like crazy! Small details can ruin the crap out of a movie for me

Poor editing drives me crazy. Like continuity issues between shots. I can't stand that!

All the time
I hate when in Movies or TV shows thing just appear or disappear in the same scene . That drives me nuts . In One scene nothing in the mans hand same scene something miraculously appears in his hand while he is talking then it is gone I always notice those types of thing .

Guilty!! It drove my ex boyfriend nuts.
For example, in "Die Hard 4", it bothered the heck out of me that the 100 pound Asian girl was kicking Bruce Wills' ass. The man has been through hell for 3 movies, and you mean to tell my some tiny little girl won't die and can kick his ass. PLEASE. Because of that scene I could not focus on the movie, and went to sleep |

Timing always annoys the hell out of me, when somebody goes away to do somethign and couldn;t possibly have finished it as they say they did before getting
back... or those one sided phone conversations where the actor is talking way too fast for the supposed caller on the other end to have said more than two
words let alone as much information as the actor's dialogue is suggesting
