Agreed--I had a crack-of-dawn WN flight from AUS to PHX and was awakened out of a sound slumber by a very enthusiastic pilot to announce that we were flying over Las Cruces or some other hole. Definitely not the aurora borealis.
My peeve is the long key-on-mic pauses that interrupt IFE. As for the turbulence, I'm not really easily bothered, and my wife gets so disturbed that no amount of reassurance from the pilot will really help.
