> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miller \* > \*\*It’s also interesting to note that Mystique, from the X-Men movies, apparently has a cell phone lodged just under her rib cage. In the first movie, the Senator guy is on a helicopter, talking on a cell phone. He hangs up and hands it to his assistant, who puts it in his jacket pocket. A few scenes later, he suddenly morphs into Mystique and the suit disappears. Where’d the phone go? \*\* Presumably she worked it round to the back and dropped it on the seat. ---

> [@](#): > > Granted, she never actually sees him die, but it wasn’t too much of a stretch for her to think so. You are right that they never speak of him again, though. Ah. It’s the fact that everyone forgets about him that bugs me. If I was one of the guys he’d been helping out, I’m sure that I’d ask Ellie what happened to him. ---

In the episode of Doug where the Funnies go on vacation their car gets stuck in the mud. The four Funnies push the car out as Porkchop mashes the gas. Two problems. 1) There were several shots of everyone in the car. Porkchop wasn’t there until the last scene. Where was he? Did they put him in the trunk? 2) Porkchop is sitting on the seat. How does he reach the gas pedal? Is he some type of tape-leg? ---

The Misties here should be ASHAMED!!! Girl in Gold Boots, the enduring Ted V. Mikels masterpiece, has the worst error ever, wherein a man appears out of thin air at the table, drinking a soda. ---

M_A_S\*H In the film Hawkeye left Korea before Trapper John and Trapper was Cheif Surgeon. Frank Burns was committed to the looney bin not long after Hawkeye and Duke had him moved from the Swamp… Yet Hawkeye becomes Cheif Surgeon and Frank is in the Swamp. The Thing (1982) Just caught this last night… During his chess game McReady is two moves from Checkmate. They show the computer screen twice and while both have him in a position that will put him in checkmate both set ups are so radically different there would be no way a few moves could produce what we see. also the computer calling out the winning move would not according to the last set up. ---

I don’t know about worst _ever_, but I jut saw _The Barber_ with Malcolm McDowell the other day. It had a lot of flaws, but the worst continuity error was when they showed a fellow who had been shot fatally in the chest with a shot-gun, stretched out on the coroner’s table, completely intact. Off-topic-- what location person figured that downtown Vancouver was a good match for a fictional Alaskan town with a population of \<500? (Having the characters lamely apologize for the lack of snow at Christmas time didn’t go very far towards excusing it, either.) ---

I was watching my DVD of _The Sopranos_ Season 2 last night. SPOILERS COMING FROM GUY TOO LAZY TO USE SPOILER BOX In the scene where Richie Aprile slaps Janice, so she goes to get a gun and caps him, the bullet hole is totally off between shots. It’s pretty noticeable, b/c when she shoots him, it’s up near his left shoulder, but one second later it’s a center shot just above the heart.
