Long time ago, i was a campanologist. No-one does that right
Were you high camp, or low?

I ran the whole gamut, from treble to tenor !
Military hardware doesn’t bother me if it’s wrong (I wouldn’t know the difference between a Sherman and a Panzer). If you’re positing a world where corpses get up, walk around and eat people, I have no problem believing the military timeline would be different in this alternate universe and maybe the helicopter sitting in the parking lot is correct for this world, after all.
Archer, season four, episode 12 Cheryl Tunt tells herself to ignore the music that it’s not diegetic. I think that may be where I first heard it.
I know I’ve heard that word before. At least, it rings a bell.
The old gypsy woman was right!
This only bothers me because I think people really should be encouraged to learn CPR and it would take little effort to do it appropriately. I have run many hundreds of codes and have never really heard someone complain it wasn’t like a TV show, though, even if outcomes probably are not as portrayed.
Well, I have now read like four articles claiming this, but suspiciously, none give a date of the so called letter. Here are all his letters to her.
Yep, Treasury agent for 20 years, and that sort of stuff is only possible if kept to two people…assuming one is dead.
And yeah, the tediousness with which people complain about music inaccuracies bores the shit out of me. They just go on and on with what sounds like a series of name-that-tune trivia. Who the fuck cares.
Each person has something that floats their boat. With me, if the music is cool and not terribly wrong period (with an exception for A Knights Tale), I am cool with that.
But it’s cool if you care, you are not wrong.
In a revolver it is really obvious.
This is one of those complaints that is more annoying that any kind of “inaccuracy”: People making jokes about “L-shaped sheets.” What kind of shitty piece of hard plastic do you sleep under that you can’t understand that sheets are pliable and can be twisted into any shape?? I really really do not understand why people have such a problem with this. 
Well, ignorance fought. I should have been suspicious when the Wallace Clan had nothing about that in The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People . Elsewhere I’ve read that Napoleon performed the deed like a fireman attacking a housefire; more consistent with a “just get it over with” approach.
The neck of a goose comes highly recommended.
I saw an interview with someone associated with that film and they said that the orchestral stuff they usually played over those types of moves was 500 years removed from the events pictured, and complaining over another couple hundred years was quibbling.
Eh. Maybe, maybe not. I know of some rednecks who’ve trashed their new-ish (2-3 y/o) pick-up trucks…and still have four more years of payments to make. And I know some Good Ol’ Boys with 10-15 y/o trucks that almost look like they could have driven off the showroom floor yesterday.
I don’t “have such a problem with” the L-shaped sheets; I just find it amusing. It’s one of those things I can’t unsee since it was pointed out. Of course it’s possible that a sheet could be twisted into that shape; it just isn’t usually in real life (women don’t obsessively cover their breasts; men don’t compulsively expose their navels when they’re in bed together), while it’s nearly universal in bedroom scenes in film and television. But I wouldn’t say it bothers me. Certainly not in the way brown eyebrows on supposedly natural blondes do.
I’m not sure who would be complaining, I suppose. As the topic implies, it’s a personal annoyance, and an effect I’ve often wondered about. I know that in my own experience, family members who happen to see part of the code, or the messy aftermath, tend to be less inclined to push for continued full code status. I should look into if an effect on code discussions has been affected by the media portrayal. And just looked: yes, and the answer is maybe.
Huh, modern slang in period or fantasy / SF movies doesn’t bother me at all. Presumably, everything we’re hearing is a “translation” anyway, so they may as well render it as contemporary, idiomatic English.
But if the scriptwriters are trying to make the language sound old-timey, for God’s sake get the grammar and usage right. I gave up on Green Knight after about ten minutes because they got it so stupidly wrong. It’s one thing to have a character call the king “thou” (annoying if you understand the social nuances of when to use “you” vs. “thou,” but understandable that most people wouldn’t know that), it’s a totally different level of wrongness to call him “thy.” As in, using a possessive pronoun as a term of address.
Drives me crazy. And there are hundreds and hundreds of grad students in medieval and Renaissance literature who know the idiom thoroughly and would be thrilled to do a bit of film script consulting for a pittance, by Hollywood standards. There’s really no excuse for not getting it right.
Maybe he (she?) bought it from Jim Rockford? 
Shame on you.
I had a hunch someone would say that.
