    I love that he has a bell to ring, presumably when he gives up on a movie so he can announce to the room when he’s going to get up and walk away from it. His girlfriend/wife already knows what’s going to happen. It’s been 10 years, and he still hasn’t picked up what she’s putting down when she asks if he wants to watch Netflix and chill.

      You don’t understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I’m losing it

        Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

        I’ve got a chemistry degree and I do reenactment and how average people lived throughout history is a big hobby of mine.

        Media hurts me so much.

        I mean for history half of Wikipedia is garbage western liberal based narratives. Movies are at least wrong for entertainment.

        Wikipedia is usually pretty good for math and science at least. So there is that. And then movies are just wrong to a comical degree. The good will hunting hallway proof still annoys me.

      I worked in munitions in the US Air Force. Anything to do with bombs and missiles in movies is the worst for me. No you can’t outrun a blast. No, a plane cannot just do a barrel roll and have a heat seeking missile fly past it. They also don’t follow your exact path. They use proportional navigation to basically find the shortest path to you.

        lol yup one thing I can’t ignore are helicopter and plane sounds. There could be an actual friggin blackhawk landing (Jack Ryan is a perfect example) and they edit in incorrect sounds!

          I especially hate it when you see a Warthog firing the old Avenger and they’ve made it sound like a slightly more rapid version of the original Gatling Gun. So underwhelming.

          I hate it when they have a modern fighter jet firing it’s guns and it sounds like “thunka thunka thunka thunka”.

              They do still mount guns on most. Notable examples of gunless fighters I can think of are the F-117 Nighthawk and the F-4 Phantom. F-117s weren’t really fighters, and got the F designation to lure in crazy fighter jocks. F-4s were later fitted with a gun pod, and then (IIRC) retrofitted with a gun.

      Or drugs. I was a heavy drug addict for a good portion of my life and it’s so annoying how directors will be so up their own ass about “research” but can’t even do a simple google search to see the difference between a meth and a crack pipe (crack pipes are just a glass tube with steel wool shoved in one end. Meth pipes are the ones with the bowl on the end of the stem.) or how pupils react to opiates vs stimulants. Not every fucking drug makes them big.

      The first movie I saw where the character does a shot and overdoses on heroin and if zooms in on her face and her pupils turn to pinpoints I was amazed lol. (The plane movie with Denzel Washington)

      I know it’s not a huge deal and people that haven’t done hard drugs (which I understand is most people lol) it just bothers me how easy it is to take 5 seconds to do a google search on the directors phone for accuracy

    What, are we supposed to believe there is a parallel universe where Lego produced lime green slopes in the 1980s? Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

    I’m this way with knitting VS crochet, as well as watching if someone is actually knitting or “knitting.”

    Uh, yeah, well, whenever you see something like that in a Stephen King movie…Derry’s evil did it.
