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!

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.

Saw VI mistakes

Saw VI mistakes

At the beginning of the film, Hoffman retracts the walls of the room where Agent Strahm has been squashed. The whole body drops to the floor. However, Strahm's hand remains untouched. Now considering the walls shut completely, his hand would have not survived if they were powerful enough to crush his body.

Paranormal Activity mistakes

Monsters vs Aliens mistakes

Gallaxhar scans the galaxy to find the missing quantonium. The scanner zooms in on earth, showing it to be very close to the center of the galaxy. Earth is actually nowhere near the center of the galaxy; it's located much closer to the outer edge.

Up mistakes

When they fall off the house and can't get back on it Russell isn't wearing a backpack. After they decide to walk the house to the falls, Russel has his backpack.

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

Zombieland mistakes

Zombieland mistakes

Woody Harrelson locks himself in the booth at Pacific Playland and locks/closes the security screens on three sides. After he is surrounded by zombies, one of the side cages has been pushed opened a bit, leaving quite a gap. The scene pans around to various angles as Woody fires away, and in a subsequent shot, the screen is shut again. With both his hands full, he couldn't have shut it.
