11 Things That Bother Me About Pitch Perfect

I love the movie, but certain things just don't make sense.

11 Things That Bother Me About Pitch Perfect
Bustle

Pitch Perfect is one of my all time favorite movies, but there are certain things about it that really bother me. From musical terms to seniority issues, here are the things that bother me about the movie.

1. "Match Pitch"

In the beginning, Bumper tells the treblemakers to "match pitch" but they harmonize instead. Do you even music?

2. Part Switching

In the shower, Beca starts on melody and Chloe starts on harmony. When they get to the chorus, they switch without any cues. How were they supposed to know to switch when they've never sung together before?

3. Since U Been Gone

During the auditions, everyone sang in the same key without being given a pitch. There's no way every single one of those people would've coincidentally started in the same key.

4. "Sing Ah"

The girls were expected to sing a major chord without being given a pitch. There's no way all those girls had perfect pitch, so they couldn't expect that out of them.

5. Sigma Beta Theta vs. The Riff Off

When the Bellas were singing at the SBT mixer, they sounded awful, even after rehearsing for a couple weeks. They didn't prepare for the riff off at all, and yet sounded great when they got there.

6. Treblemakers Regional Performance

Again with forgetting the starting pitch. The treblemakers didn't have one, but somehow they still started on the same pitch.

7. Party In The USA

On the bus to finals, Chloe starts singing Party in the USA and the rest of the Bellas join in, except for Beca. They pause until she joins, but Chloe still has her headphones in. They definitely wouldn't still be in time with the music and that would end up being very distracting.

8. Singing After Surgery

Chloe had her surgery over spring break and then was singing again the next week. You're definitely supposed to have recovery time after any surgery, and I'm sure that one would be no different.

9. No Warm Ups

Not a single group warmed up before a performance, they just went out and did it. Not only would that have destroyed their voices, they also would've sounded AWFUL because they wouldn't have been able high notes.

10. Continuity Errors

There are so many continuity errors, I don't even think I could name them all. The most noticeable would be during the Bellas finals performance. Throughout the performance, Aubrey's hair goes back and forth between being all up, all down, or halfway in between.

11. Freshmen Leading

Somehow, in both the Treblemakers and the Bellas, a freshman ended up leading after the original head of the group left or gave up. There were other upperclassmen available, so why didn't they end up in charge?

Even though there are so many problems, Pitch Perfect is still my favorite and probably always will be. I just think all these things are funny.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
