Corrected entry: In some episodes, SpongeBob's house is apparently an actual pineapple (e.g. "Home Sweet Pineapple"), but in other episodes, it is apparently made of wood like in "Opposite Day", when they tear down the house and rebuild it.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: When Bumblebee bumps into Sam, you can see the silhouette of the stunt driver in the car.
Correction: Transformers can project holographic images of drivers.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
No Weenies Allowed / Squilliam Returns - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In "Squilliam Returns," Spongebob is confused that a waiter goes to tables and takes orders. However, in some episodes earlier in the show, Spongebob waits tables.
Correction: Spongebob has also been shown to be none too bright...plus, the show by its nature has little or no continuity between episodes.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Pranks-a-Lot" Spongebob is still wearing his socks and shoes when invisible. Shouldn't they have noticeable stains after they become visible again?
Correction: It's a cartoon. Most things in the Spongebob universe do not follow reality. Things appear, disappear, and change instantly and constantly all the time.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: In "Pranks-a-Lot" there is one prank where Spongebob and Patrick paint a mustache on Squidward. He runs out of the house, and the mustache is gone.

Mirrors (2008)
Corrected entry: In the last few minutes of the film when Ben realizes he is in the mirror-world and not his own, he crosses a street just before touching the mirror. If this was in fact a "mirror-world", in the cars the drivers' side would be on the right, and the street signs on the poles would also be reversed, none of which is the case.
Correction: If you pay close attention, there is no yellow or double yellow line down the middle of the street, indicating that it's a one-way street. Therefore, there is no mistake.

The Unborn (2009)
Corrected entry: When Casey is at the library, the librarian brings her the book of mirrors and opens it. Yet Casey still has to open the book after the shot changes angles.
Correction: The librarian never opens the book. She simply tells Casey to handle the manuscript carefully.

Lost (2004)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of season five, they talk about how they need to get the nuke to destroy the energy at the swan. However, according to Newton's conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So blowing up this pocket of energy with a bomb is futile, as it just wouldn't work. However, this is a major plot device, and Farraday, who is a very 'intelligent' physicist, is the one to come up with this pointless idea.
Correction: We do not know what kind of energy is in the pocket, and thus we cannot know why Faraday believes detonating the bomb will neutralize it. It cannot be concluded, with certainty, that his intention is to "blow up" the pocket of energy. Perhaps he believes, for some reason, that the nuclear blast will somehow neutralize this pocket of energy, rather than destroying it. Plus, we have repeatdly seen violations of the laws of physics on the island.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Corrected entry: When the assassins are coming to kill the emperor in the beginning, watch as one slices a hole in the cloth from outside. The cloth has obviously been pre-scored to easily cut, as several mini-cuts are visible.
Correction: What you are seeing is where sections of the tent have been stitched together. The reason the assassin is cutting there is because it will be easier to cut along the stitches.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Corrected entry: It must be nice to be the captain. Kirk's chair now has arms that fold down across his lap to hold him securely in place. However, they decided that just about everyone working along the sides of the bridge doesn't even deserve a chair.
Correction: First, the captain is arguably the most important person on the ship, so apparently the engineers felt he warranted extra protection. Second, design choices on the ship's bridge are not movie mistakes.
19th May 2009
Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when we see Wall-E go home, we see a holographic commercial advertising the Axiom. We see people of all ages in the commercial, kids, seniors, and adults, but when Wall-E actually arrives on the Axiom, we only see adults and babies. Where are kids and seniors?
Correction: Two reasons. First, the commercial is just that, a commercial. They can put whatever they want in it. Secondly, just because we don't explicitly see seniors and children, doesn't mean that they are not there. They are not critical to the story.
21st May 2009
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Corrected entry: Around the middle of the Wormy episode, Squidward and Mr. Krabs are believed to be eaten by the "monster" according to Spongebob and Patrick. We all know they obviously weren't eaten, so where were they the rest of the episode?
Correction: They simply were not featured in the remainder of the episode. It's not a mistake.

Star Trek (2009)
Corrected entry: On the inhospitable ice planet, why is Spock living in a cave? He tells the young Kirk that there is a Starfleet Outpost nearby (presumably well-heated), yet apparently he never actually tried to seek shelter there until he had someone to go with him?
Correction: He is living in the cave because he does not want to interfere with the time line any more than he already has. By isolating himself, he can avoid interfering.

The Last House on the Left (2009)
Corrected entry: In the very last scene, when the guy's head is put in the microwave and exploded while he is still alive, this wouldn't work as microwave ovens do not work with the door open, as a safety precaution.
Correction: Early in the movie, Dr. Collingwood mentions something about "fixing the microwave" (or getting it to work again). It can be inferred that later on he modified the microwave to allow it to operate with the door open. In fact, on many older microwaves, it's not that difficult to do.
9th Dec 2008
Punisher: War Zone (2008)
Corrected entry: It makes no sense for the FBI to release Jigsaw and Looney Bin Jim from their custody, especially without surveillance. Even though they want them to go after the Punisher, they know full well that they intend to kill the family of the dead undercover FBI agent and will kill more innocent people in the process, which they do.
Correction: It makes sense if the FBI agent in charge is corrupt, which he is.

Lost (2004)
The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham - S5-E8
Corrected entry: Locke goes to visit Walt, but in a previous episode, Walt visits Hurley and says Jeremy Benthem visited him. Locke never mentioned the name he was using.
Correction: It has been established in previous episodes that Walt "sees" things and knows things that no one else does. He could have simply seen the name Jeremy Bentham" in a dream or vision.

Iron Man (2008)
Corrected entry: When Iron Man is creating his miniature arc reactor, he takes apart a missile's core. The kidnapped scientist asks him, "what is that?" Robert Downey says, ".15 grams of palladium. I need at least 1.6 grams. Why don't you start on the other 11?" .15 x 11 = 1.65. But he already has .15 from the first one he took apart. He only needs 10 more to have enough. 11 more would give him a total of 1.80 grams. With a particle as powerful as the movie makes it out to be, that could be the difference between blowing the crap out of yourself and a working product.
Correction: He could be asking the scientist to open up the other 11 cores in case one of the samples is unusable, for whatever reason. Besides, his wording, as you stated, was "at least 1.60 grams". That means he calculated that to be the bare minimum. He does not indicate that more is a problem. In fact, he specifically implies, by saying "at least" rather than "precisely", that more is NOT a problem at all.

The Ninth Gate (1999)
Corrected entry: Corso is sitting on his bed in the Sintra Hotel and he notices the cloth (which he had wrapped the book in before he hid it behind the mini-bar fridge) lying on the floor. It makes no sense that after pulling out the mini-bar fridge from the cupboard to find the book, the thief would have bothered to put the mini-bar fridge back and the tray of glasses etc. back on top, then close the door of the cupboard.
Correction: Character decision, not a movie mistake. The thief probably did not want Corso to realize the book was gone immediately, but forgot about the cloth.

Friday the 13th (2009)
Corrected entry: When Chewie has the shot of alcohol with the flames on the top of it, the actual flame disappears in one shot and the height of the flame differs a few times as well.
Correction: Having consumed many flaming shots myself, I can attest to the fact that the flame height and visibility can vary. In fact, I have burned myself on a shotglass because I did not know it was even lit.
21st Feb 2009
Spider-Man (2002)
Corrected entry: Why doesn't Mary Jane know that Spiderman is Peter Parker? He speaks to her on a number of occasions and even though he's in full costume, his voice is clear as a bell - he doesn't disguise it at all. She'd recognise it from a mile off.
Correction: The same way that no one realized Clark Kent was Superman with glasses. It's part of the suspension of disbelief involved with comics and comic book movies.
