Name a movie that made you do an eyeroll. We’ve all been there. Tell us about that movie, how you reacted, and describe the issue you had with it. You can even comment on a better way the screenwriter or director could have portrayed it.
It is true that films need to consolidate, skip over or xxxxxxxxxxx due to the constraints of the medium. The problem, however, is that a viewer may well groan when something silly or wrong appears on the screen. Cops often have issues with how they’re portrayed, or with police procedures. Astronomers know what the night sky would look like at 41°43′32″N 49°56′49″W on April 15, 1912, at 2:20 a.m., whereas shipwreck fans might not.
This is a blog about such things. Feel free to sign up and post your own entry, or comment on other posts. What motion picture made you do a face palm in a dark theater or at home while watching TV?
