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.

Some things you just know.
I’m an aviation nut. I can spot right away when a movie has an incorrect aircraft type or livery. And don’t even get me started on cockpit layouts. If you have a particular interest, usually you can spot some glaring issues that others wouldn’t even notice.

I would have probably noticed too – I had legos in the 90s and had never seen a lime piece until much later.
I don’t consider myself a lego enthusiast, just an old dude who played with them when I was a kid.

when you interact with something on such a deep level, for me i’m a linux enthusiast and computer hardware nerd. I know quite a bit about computers, networking, operating systems and malware. These things are just second nature.
Basically all implementations of these things in movies, shows or generally any media at all, is pretty inaccurate, unless it’s not the direct focal point, in which case it’s “accurate enough” because it literally doesn’t matter and could be some obscure implementation of something.
It’s like if you hired someone, who doesn’t know anything about that particular job position, to do that particular job (because that’s literally what happens more of the time) they just pay someone to “make it happen” and it does, and it’s often not very accurate.
When it does happen accurately, thank god they hired some weird grey beard with archaic knowledge on unix and historically relevant hardware setups, because holy shit does it add SO much to the media.

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.

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 hacking scene in the Matrix sequel is actually pretty accurate.
“My Cousin Vinny” is almost entirely realistic as far as the courtroom scenes.
A mobster reported that Joe Pesci generally plays a very accurate gangster when he plays a gangster in movies. Most of the time, he’s this weirdly dark violent loose cannon outlier, because they can’t just make every character a psychopath and have people enjoy watching the movie, but he’s the one that is playing the role accurately.
When “King of the Hill” showed Bobby doing stage magic, it was all real magic tricks with his hands and props positioned so that he’d be able to really do the things he was showing.
The corpsman scene in “Captain Phillips” was very legit.
Everything else is a bunch of crap.
There’s also this stuff: youtube.com/@Insider

Also, WarGames was very accurate, except for the “WOPR having artificial general intelligence” part.

(BTW, the corpsman scene leaves me sobbing, every time, no exceptions.)
Gun related scenes are top notch in John Wick. I love how real shit happens like he loses ammo count or jams, instantly remedies the situation. And believe this, plenty of gun nuts counted for him and I’ve never heard anyone call out an inaccuracy.
Also like how there’s nothing fancy. For example, look at what the The Sommelier recommends; Glock pistols, AR-15 rifle and a Benelli for a shotgun. No idea how Hollywood resisted gimmicky bullshit, but I would have screamed if they came with a funky looking KelTec.
The action, morseo in the first movie, is on the bleeding edge of believable. I’m sure by now everyone who has any interest has seen Keanu practice guns, and before that martial arts for *The Matrix".
Hard to overstate how difficult all that is. Targeting while moving is hell, worst with a pistol, but even a shotgun isn’t much better. Notice how he reloads the shotgun before he’s out of ammo, doesn’t have to pump it? You can do the same with a semi-auto anything, don’t shoot the last round before reloading.
I could train like that for weeks and never come close. I can ping every piece of steel, over and over, but even at a creeping walk? LOL, nope. Fuck me, I can’t even master the violin or combat load with a 12-gauge. Hmmm, I’m off tomorrow and have plenty of shells.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Or at the very least make it some different type of autism expression, give me the tired autist who is very aware of social situations but doesn’t give a shit anymore. Or even manic goblin autist who has found stability in a form of controlled chaos, no I don’t mean in a manic pixie dream girl sorta way I mean they shot put a fucken wrench through a wall to kill a fly that’s been annoying them for the last 40 minutes sorta way.

As a siren enthusiast, it gets old hearing the same few stock sounds used for civil defense sirens in films. You’ll get British WW2 siren sounds despite the movie taking place in the US, or they’ll show a siren but with audio from an entirely different siren. Even the recent Twisters movie even got it wrong, showing an American Signal Tempest-121 mechanical siren going off with audio from a Whelen electronic speaker siren.
conditional_soup@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
This is the kind of rant I came here for
Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
There’s a few reasons for this, firing the real siren on set is not practical due to the audio levels, they could maybe record it separately but that’s an extra thing to do, and why bother when “air_raid_siren_004.wav” is right there? Also audiences are used to “air_raid_siren_004.wav” and they’ll know immediately what it’s supposed to be, if you played the real sounds and it’s too unusual, it’ll make the audience think about it and take them out of the story. There’s so much stuff like this I’m filmmaking where if you stop to think about it critically for a second it doesn’t make sense, but that’s the point they don’t want you thinking about that, they want you thinking about the story and the characters. I know that’s frustrating when it’s your topic but I’m sure you’re glad they do it like this in any other case.

they do the same thing with phone rings.
It’s practically all one specific wall mount model, only the problem is that it was dubbed from a record recording, so it has warble on it. And you can very clearly hear it.

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.
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

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.
