> [@Walloon](#): > > I’ve added more items to the IMDb than I can remember (I submitted 29,206 lines of data in 2003 alone). One that comes to mind is that I pointed out that _Gone With the Wind_ does not picture the Burning of Atlanta, but a smaller event that happened two and a half months earlier, the Burning of the Atlanta Depot. GWTW is chock full of goofs. If you follow the chronology strictly, Melanie is pregnant for more than eighteen months. No wonder she died, is it? Jeff\_Olsen - which movie did you get dumped for non-existence? I’d be quite interested to know. ---

> [@Jeff Olsen](#): > > _Gilligan’s Island_. Scroll up a bit for details. 😉 Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it takes two attempts to get it deleted by IMDb, why so surprised that it took two attempts to tell SDMB what it was? ---

I got something changed for the tv show _JAG,_ which I’ve never even watched. I don’t know how I got to its trivia page, but I did, and there was an item there that said something about how “Zulu Time” is “local time.” Of course “Zulu” means Greenwich Time, and I sent in a correction to that effect. Instead of correcting the item, they seem to have just removed it. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > I’ve added more to the quotes than goofs. The IMDB can be sadly deficient in quotes prior to 1970 or so; I was astounded that I was the first one to mention “Carl LaFong” and “That’s something you’d need never worry about.” I know which movies both of those were off of the top of my head. I’m such a geek. I’ve added some quotes from time to time. For _Sandlot_, the ones where “The Babe” was explaining how most folks never recognize or are too afraid to take their one chance to do something great and Mr. Mertles’ “You’re not in trouble, you’re dead where you stand.” are mine. I’ve had less luck with goofs, getting none accepted. My last attempt was for _Pearl Harbor_ In the scene where Ben Affleck’s character is on the train looking out the window at his nurse-girlfriend, behind her is a stainless steel passenger car. Those were around (if rare) in 1941, but you can see the name on this one, _Silver Planet_, which identifies it as built in 1947. DD ---

> [@Evil Death](#): > > GWTW is chock full of goofs. If you follow the chronology strictly, Melanie is pregnant for more than eighteen months. No wonder she died, is it? Count again. When Rhett Butler visits Scarlett in Atlanta and brings her a Parisian hat, they have this conversation: > [@](#): > > “There’s a little battle going on right now that ought to pretty well fix things one way or the other.” > “Oh Rhett, is Ashley in it?” > “So you still haven’t gotten the wooded headed Mr. Wilkes out of your mind. Yes, I suppose he’s in it.” > “Oh, but tell me Rhett, where is it?” > “Some little town in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg.” The Battle of Gettysburg was fought in July 1863. A few scenes later, Ashley comes home on Christmas furlough, which would be December 1863 — and didn’t Scarlett look jealous as she watched Ashley and Melanie go up the stairs to bed. A few scenes after that, Atlanta is under seige from Sherman’s Army, and Melanie goes into labor. That night, they escape from the city as the Atlanta Depot burns ([September 1, 1864](http://ngeorgia.com/history/afteratlanta.html)). That would mean Melanie’s pregnancy lasted little more than eight months, not eighteen. ---

I tired to send one in, but its not been posted yet. In Shanghai Noon, the Princess woudl not have been able to work in a rock quarry - or do much else for that mattter. Since she was a member of the aristocracy (or at least daughter of a rich family) her feet would have been bound since she was very young, making it nearly impossible for her to even walk without help. ---

I can’t figure out how to submit trivia, but here’s one they don’t have for _Rounders_: The prison Worm is released from is East Jersey State Prison, formerly known as Rahway. This facility was the setting of _Scared Straight! (1978)_ and was also the prison Danny Ocean was paroled from in _Ocean’s Eleven_. How do I know? I live there. 😉 You can see our incinerator in the background. 😃 ---

> [@Evil Death](#): > > I may be thinking of the book. It’s quite a famous gaffe, though. The movie follows the same chronology as the novel: Melanie gets pregnant during Christmas 1863, and delivers in early September 1864.
