Movie "Nitpickers" Grrr!

Movie Nitpickers are what I like to call those who always seem to have some sort of logical discrepancy with a movie, no matter how small.

I understand that if a movie is not believable, and has mistakes, whether it be unintentional blunders of continuity, plot unbelievability, etc., then it can definately make the movie less enjoyable. It takes you out of the fantasy if you keep seeing things that don't add up.

But a lot of times I think about my friend, who always has some smart-ass comment like "Hey, ... that mole on his hand wasn't there before!", and I think they just need to drop it and lose themselves in the movie instead of trying to find every possible screw up. Sometimes we just need to lose ourselves in the absurdity of a movie; not accept it as "it could happen in real life", but rather "I'll give it the benefit of the doubt."

It's just kinda annoying for me to sit next to someone who cannot accept the fantasy aspect, and in that there will be many unbelievable parts in it, but I suppose there are some people on Bluelight who cannot respect a movie which dumbs down the spectators reasoning which I understand completely.

Oh, and I found this site where a bunch of people rattle off every single flaw and mistake you can muster at film. Enjoy.

remember in the matrix when morpheus describes the surface of the world as cold, and talks about how the humans have to live near the center of the earth where "its still warm"???

Then remember when neo goes to the machine city in revolutions to see the machine king or whatever he was called and hes walking around in the open air of the machine city??? well if its so cold up there WHY ISNT HIS BREATH MAKING LITTLE CLOUDS OF STEAM WHEN HE BREATHES, HUH?!?!?! ANSWER THAT ONE!!!!!!
 
Haha..I used to do that when I was a little kid. Thankfully I now realize that minor logical imperfections mean nothing in deciding how much I liked then movie. It is harder to sink into a movie when you point out all the pointless logical stuff, and not the good theatrical aspects.
 
There's the classic in Dr Strangelove. As he's wrestling with his Nazi right hand, the guy who (I think) played the Russian foriegn minister, cracks slightly and starts to laugh. Poor fella had to look down and away from camera as Peter Sellers goes into full fit mode.
 
cg ones can ruin a film for me.

Like in T3 when the TX runs with a smouldering wound on her shoulder which doesn't move with her arm. ....fuckin amateurs.
 
I REALLY wish I could remember what movie it was, but some flick I caught in the theater you could actually see the microphone hanging from the boom stand at the top of the picture. How could you possibly fuck that up like that?

very often that is the result of a projectionist failing to frame a movie properly. I actually just got free movie passes (arrived in the mail today) and an apologetic email from the regional manager from my local cinema chain for complaining about this.

Platoon.

When they're cleaning out the toilets/latrines, there's a microphone in the way. There's actually another example of that in (?perhaps?) one of John McTiernan's films... but for the life of me, I can't remember which.

I like this forum.
 
There was a scene in Gladiator that shows a guy wearing headphones, stepping casually away from the shot. I think it was near a scene where the protagonist is walking past his horse. Also there are some descrepancies in Star Wars episode 3, like the blank memories of people who don`t seem to recall the significance of the name Skywalker, or the lack of memory of R2D2, and C3po. I realise C3po had his memory wiped, but Jimmy Smits (NYPD blue) should have recognised them. I suppose that kind of thing happens when you have a film series spanning 20+ years.
 
how come in indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark, they spend ages and loads of man hours finding the right place and digging in the desert to find where that map is with all the snakes?

Indie manages to just go out through a wall in the middle of the army base! Why didn't they just have a look what was on the other side of the wall?
