Just once I would like a movie to visit Vietnam without playing any of the 5 songs every movie has to use.
We know it's Vietnam because you've told us. We have also seen that same exact valley from 127,000 different angles and honestly I'm starting to recognize specific groups of trees.
Ever seen the same set or costume used in two movies? It's a little jarring and takes you out of the movie, if only briefly.
Now imagine you're trying to watch a serious scene and then you go "Oh hey, those trees were in the background of the intro scene to tropic thunder!" and now all you can think of is Ben Stiller's stub hands.
Apocalypse Now mixed it up by playing Wagner
I don't watch a lot of stuff but I definitely had that jarring feeling after watching a lady get murdered by a pool in Mr. Robot, then later seeing the mom in The Other Two say she's using that pool room as a bedroom.
