My pet peeve is bad pickup/romance lines. I can't give you a specific movie that this one came from (mainly because it happens in SO MANY OF THEM!!!!)
The girl and the guy are standing together, alone most of the time. The girl spots something pretty and she says
random female wrote:"It's so beautiful"
(By this point, I generally start screaming at the guy "DON'T SAY IT!!! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD STORY TELLING, DON'T SAY IT!!!!)
And then the guy looks at her and says in an uncharacteristically low voice
random guy wrote:"Not as beautiful as you."
AHHH!!!!!!!!! Oh, man, I hate that one.
And since I hate bad pickup lines, I guess you can take a guess at the movie that annoys me the most: Star Wars episode II.

Me and my sister laugh hysterically everytime we hear it. But deep down inside, we're not laughing. We're going crazy.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
