Frankly, if that sort of thing bothers you, you have no business watching movies portraying fiction, and should probably stay away from fiction in all forms. Stick with your National Geographic Documentaries, if you can avoid having them ruined by your own silly nitpicking.

I mean, it’s fun to see something like that, but for it to be anything other than an amusing bit of trivia, the viewer has to have a real problem understanding what “fiction” is.

My suspicion is that you’re not bringing this up not because of any real outrage about it, but just to show people how clever you were to spot it.
