This is an idea I had ages ago and have been tinkering with on and off for quite a while - basically a website which shows you a series of options, and you choose the "best" one. Sometimes they'll make sense against each other (Coke or Pepsi, Microsoft or Apple) other times they won't (The Beatles or Back to the Future), but the end result should be a) a list of the best to worst things ever, and b) a bit of a laugh. It's still a work in progress, but please visit http://www.rockpapereverything.com, cast some votes, submit new options, and let me know any thoughts you have on how to improve it. Thanks!

Iron Man 3 mistakes

The explosion of a failed Extremis subject is so strong it vaporizes living organisms in the blast radius along with collateral damage (as shown at the Chinese Theater). In Tennessee, the site of a similar incident, it is shown that the crater of the explosion is a few feet from the corner of two walls. The walls, for some reason, were not obliterated even though the explosion was strong enough to destroy everything else.

Skyfall mistakes

During Bond's fight with Patrice in the Shanghai high-rise, Patrice's sniper rifle fires several times, presumably by accident. However, moments earlier, when Patrice assassinates his target in the neighboring building, the rifle is shown to be bolt-action. A bolt-action rifle can't be fired more than once without manually loading the next round.

As Pat's dad was driving him to the Eagles game, they pass a construction site near the stadium. The movie was based in 2008. There was no construction going on near the stadiums in 2008. The construction site in that background of the scene is from the Spectrum being torn down and the building of Xfinity! Live, which opened in April of 2012.

In one earlyish scene Spock and Uhura are in a turbolift - you can see Zoe Saldana has a faint spot or similar on her upper lip that's been covered up. In scenes following there's no sign of it.

Throughout the film, Glinda's hair continuously changes from being curled to straightened to curled again. This occurs often, and on occasion within the course of a single scene (for example when she introduces Oscar to the residents of Oz).

The Great Gatsby mistakes

The Great Gatsby mistakes

The movie takes place in the summer of 1922. They played Rhapsody in Blue, which wasn't written till 1924. The bandleader is obviously Cab Calloway. Cab Calloway's first recordings with the Missourians weren't until 1928. "Oh! You Have No Idea" also wasn't recorded until 1928, and it was sung by Sophie Tucker, not Josephine Baker (although they do credit Ms. Tucker in the final credits).

Argo mistakes

Argo mistakes

The establishing shot of Mendez's trip to California in January 1980 shows the Hollywood sign in a state of severe disrepair as it appeared in the 1970s. However, the sign was replaced in 1978, so it should appear more pristine, like it does today.
