You don't understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I'm losing it

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.

Just once I would like a movie about a computer person that doesn’t focus on their over-exaggerated autism

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.

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. (The plane movie with Denzel Washington)

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

When the Hollywood movie shows anything related to your home country / language

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.

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 just assumed that's the guy from cinemasins. ding
