You know what really irritates me: actors who wear spectacles as a part of their character and yet clearly are very very confused as to why they are wearing glasses. The actor just twiddles and fiddles with the glasses. They put them on their nose; they take them off as they discuss state secrets; they put them on top of their head; they balance them out of the corner of their mouth. But one thing is absolutely clear in 20:20 vision they are not using them to improve their eyesight.
I watched a drama last night. The actress started well. She was taking notes and popped glasses on when writing and off when looking at her interviewee. She clearly needed the specs for reading or so I thought. Then she was seen walking in the park with the same glasses on (big designer ones at that) and went into a café and popped them on top of her head when she started talking with someone. It didn't add up. Apart from anything if the actress knew how much her character had paid for those designer spectacles she wouldn't treat them so cavalierly pushing them casually onto her crown from whence they could crash to the floor breaking and costing lots of money to replace.
I watched a film on Friday and the main character wore glasses all the way through. Fine. He played a bit of an uptight, nerdy character but if he needed glasses to see then glasses he needed. Then at the end when he had transformed himself overnight and I mean literally overnight into a confident, trendy bloke he was sans specs. Now there is another blog post there as to why confident, handsome characters need to shift the glasses and nerdy ones need to keep them but it was a miracle: he could see. He went to bed one night, placing his glasses on the bedside table and the next morning he had perfect vision. A walking optical sensation. There was a complete film just in that and probably more interesting than the one I'd just watched.
