Facebook connect

Apologies for using you all as guinea pigs, but I'd appreciate some help! I'm experimenting with Facebook Connect, which will hopefully make it easier to post comments/submit entries, and also for you to share entertaining pictures, pages, or individual entries on your Facebook page. Just spotted a great movie mistake? Post it to Facebook! Things like that. Stage one though is to get the Facebook Connect button working properly. As such, you should see a button below. If you click it, a window should open to Facebook's site, asking you to log in, which will enable a link between Facebook and this site. Once that's done, the "connect" button should be replaced by your Facebook profile picture, and text saying "Welcome [your name]. You are signed in with your Facebook account."

If that's what happens, success - please let me know it worked. If that didn't happen, or you can't see the button, please let me know that too - what went wrong or happened differently, and what browser you're using. At the moment being connected means nothing beyond seeing that welcome text when you're logged into Facebook and looking at this page, but give it time! If you want to disconnect for any reason, just go to Facebook, click the "applications" link at the bottom left, then "edit applications" and you can remove Movie Mistakes from there. If you've got any thoughts/suggestions/concerns about this, please let me know. Thanks!

Episode 50 First Dates

A bumper week for our 50th, as we cover Saw VI, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Triangle, and Bottle Shock. We also muse on the possibility of a British Saw film, the genius of Terry Gilliam, Paul somehow mixes up laughing and vomiting, In This Week in Movie History, Desert Island Flicks (this week: "best horror franchise"), and an interview with comedian Phil Butler. Oh, and when Paul mentioned the movie "Unlawful Entry", Jenny barely stifled a laugh so filthy we had to edit it out, but think of that when you hear the title and it'll hopefully make you smile.

Battlestar Galactica (1978) - daily screenshot (previous daily screenshots)

When Baltar turns to face the two setting suns, we see the lower one at the left has what could be a boat in its reflection on the water. The higher one on the right is over a mountainous area on the horizon. The next shot is of Baltar in close-up, then the next returns to the horizon to show us Baltar's view, which shows just ONE setting sun. The one on the left has vanished though there is room enough for it to have been seen in this shot.

Current releases

Here are some entries from current cinema/DVD releases. For more entries and a breakdown of US and UK cinema and DVD charts, click here.

Where the Wild Things Are mistakes

Where the Wild Things Are mistakes

When Max is going to get K.W. just prior to the Dirt Clod War, his hood is down. When he returns to Carol and Douglas, (just prior to being hit with a dirt clod) his hood is up.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine mistakes

X-Men Origins: Wolverine mistakes

After Wolverine arrives at 3 Mile Island he approaches through a thick fog. Above him are a series of conveyor belts that are used at a coal power plant, not a nuclear plant such as 3 Mile Island. The belts are unique to coal mines and coal power plants, and would not be found at a nuclear power plant. The filmmakers obviously couldn't film on the site of a nuclear plant, so filmed on a coal plant to fill in.

Paranormal Activity mistakes

Paranormal Activity mistakes

In the scene when Katie has a nightmare approximately 33 minutes into the movie, Katie wakes up, and the time is posted in the right corner of the "shot". When Micah picks up the camera the time disappears, and then reappears when he puts the camera back on the dresser.

Monsters vs Aliens mistakes

Monsters vs Aliens mistakes

We see many people running from the alien robot on the bridge. We then see Ginormica, and behind her the people have disappeared.

Up mistakes

Up mistakes

After trying to get his balloon back, Carl Jr. falls and breaks his arm. The ambulance that picks him up has a modern-day electronic siren, when in the 30's it would be a mechanical siren and would be much smaller.

Drag Me To Hell mistakes

Drag Me To Hell mistakes

Rham attempts to give CPR to Shaun San Dena after the encounter with the Lamia. He uses completely wrong hand positioning, would more likely break her collarbone than stimulate her heart, and does the CPR for all of about 10 seconds, which would be useless. There's evidence his character was trained in CPR, as he listens for breath and watches for chest rising properly, so it is not likely he was just making it up as he went along. A person trained in CPR would at least put their hands in the right place. He was not just a couple of inches off, but not even close to where the hands should be placed. Also, CPR must be done continuously until medical aid arrives, not for 10 seconds.

Couples Retreat mistakes

Couples Retreat mistakes

During the "nude" scene on the beach, when Shane is asked to drop his drawers, he wears shorts initially, but then in a subsequent shot right before the "reveal", he is wearing pants.

Angels & Demons mistakes

Angels & Demons mistakes

When Langdon first has an audience with the Camerlengo, you can quite easily see foundation on the Camerlengo's collar. This skin coloured compact is the base of any film makeup and often rubs off onto white collars if not checked.

Zombieland mistakes

Zombieland mistakes

After Tallahassee and Columbus find the yellow vehicle, Tallahassee paints the number "3" on the sides. The style that the "3" is painted in changes throughout the movie.

Coraline mistakes

Coraline mistakes

During Coraline's first meal with her Other Mother and Father, just before Coraline says "I'm real thirsty." there are two drinking glasses to her right, the one she uses a couple seconds later and a smaller one. After the cut to the chandelier lowering, it goes back to Coraline and the smaller glass has completely vanished.
