Site content stolen

I've just discovered there's an application in iTunes called "Movie Mistakes", which has just ripped off the entire content of this site, without permission. If you look at the screenshots you'll even see the mistake counts and order of entries are the same! I've contacted Apple and the developer myself, but if you're a fan of this site and want to voice your disapproval at someone stealing everything from it, please email the App Store and/or the developer, Nikolay Nachev, at support@funforcell.net.

Episode Fifty Two Wong Foo

We're one year old! So an epic podcast with 2012 and a discussion of the best disaster films on Desert Island Flicks. Plus reviews of Harry Brown and The Men Who Stare At Goats, a morbid This Week In Movie History, a slamming of film publicists on Newsdesk, and your many lovely birthday wishes and film recommmendations. Week off next week, and if you're after part 2 of the interview with Donkey Punch screenwriter David Bloom, we bantered so much we ran out of room, so next time. Roll on Movie Banter, year 2!

2012 mistakes

2012 mistakes

When Krakatoa blew in 1883, it ejected some 5 cubic miles of debris into the atmosphere, dropping the average global temperature by as much as 1.2 degrees Celcius for the next year. It has been postulated that should the Yellowstone supervolcano erupt, it would exceed the last eruption, which ejected 240 cubic miles into the atmosphere. In the 28 days that pass before the denizens of the arks are permitted to go outside, the ash and debris from not only Yellowstone, but the scores of volcanoes that erupted almost simultaneously would have blocked the skies world wide. Not only would the citizens have been forbidden to emerge from their cocoons, but satellite views of Africa would have been impossible, and whatever crops survived the earthquakes and lava would have already started to perish.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen mistakes

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen mistakes

When Sam is supposedly dead, it shows him walking into a bright light while talking to Autobots. It shows Sam's pinky and ring finger wrapped up in a bandage, but a couple of seconds later the bandage has changed to wrapping Sam's middle and ring fingers.

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.

Angels & Demons mistakes

Angels & Demons mistakes

In the scene where Vetra is taken to examine the body of the deceased pope, the corpse is exposed after the marble slab and the lid of the casket is removed. In reality, papal funerary protocol requires the body to be triple-sealed. It is first placed in a coffin of cypress wood (to symbolise humility), and is then hermetically sealed in a zinc coffin to slow down decomposition. Finally, the zinc coffin is then placed inside of an oak coffin before being interred beneath the marble slab.
