Corrected entry: When Jack, Danny and Wendy are living in The Overlook, (and even in Dick Halloran's house in Florida where the TV and lamps have no wires coming from them) Stanley Kubrick takes great care so that no appliance (coffee makers, radios, etc.) is seen plugged into a wall socket and that no TVs (the sets Wendy watches in the kitchen and with Danny in the lobby) have visible wires. This may be a deliberate choice to show that people (or places) that "Shine" emit enough psychic energy to power appliances. This is brilliant, but the problem is, certain wires were overlooked by the crew and can be seen coming from the lamps in Room 237 and in Wendy and Jack's apartment. If you look closely at the TV set in the kitchen where Wendy hears the forecast about the snowstorm, a tiny bit of that very well-hidden power wire can be seen under the table above the seat on the chair in the middle.

Corrected entry: At the end, when Rambo goes to shoot up the headquarters, he wraps the belt around his wrist. That's a big no-no, because the belt can get caught between the rounds where it overlaps and stop feeding right, and also because the links can take off bits of skin. I found out both the hard way ;).

Corrected entry: Martin returns to the empty beach house to looks for clues about Laura's disappearance. While there, he goes through boxes of Laura's papers. But why would these boxes be at the beach house, instead of at the couple's main house in Boston? Or why would he cart them all the way to Cape Cod when he could just look at them in the main house?

Krista

Corrected entry: In the original "map" of the island, fog is noted on the map surrounding the island as if it's a permanent fixture (and is the key element in keeping the island hidden.) Yet when Ann and Kong are sitting peacefully in his lair at the top of the mountain and they gaze out at the ocean, there is no fog or any form of inclement weather. In fact, the island, and certainly this peak, would be visible from a long way distant at sea.

Corrected entry: In front of the Tom's coffin, Marshal Link's hat appears and disappears between shots on the box he is holding.

Corrected entry: After promoting O'Toole to Major, Jack Hawkins and Co. go out for a drink. Inside the establishment, Hawkins is wearing his Sam Browne belt. Out on the veranda he is not.

Colony in Space - S8-E4

Corrected entry: The reel-to-reel tape recorder seen in this story is wonderfully anachronistic. The first cassette and cartridge tape players/recorders were invented some eight years before this story was made and were already being sold in Britain.

Corrected entry: Throughout the film, the characters keep using the phrase "to err is human, to forgive . . ." (not usually finishing it). The thing is that the movie is set somewhere around the year 1500 (right after the introduction song, they show you the year when the story is supposed to take place) and that phrase was "made famous" by Alexander Pope, an English poet born in 1688.

Corrected entry: In the final scene, Julia Roberts comes charging in to explain to the group that Kiefer Sutherland called her to tell her of his plan to flatline and that was about 9 minutes ago. So in an important plot line, everyone uses that number as the amount of time Kiefer has been under. But by the time he made the call to the time he actually ran into the abandoned church, turned on all the equipment, set himself up and eventually injected potassium into his arm, you'd have to figure at least 2-3 minutes elapsed before he actually flatlined. Why didn't the group take that into account?

Corrected entry: When Brian changes the TV channel in New York so that the students see coverage of the two plane crashes, he changes the channel to Fox 5, which is the same channel that Sam was watching in Washington D.C.

Corrected entry: Technically not really a mistake, but I have to question the strategy of the Racine manager in Game 7 of the world series. The situation is two outs, top of the ninth, Racine up 1-0, with runners at second and third and Dottie coming up. Now, Dottie has already been established as the best player in the league. Wouldn't the prudent choice here be, with first base open, to intentionally walk her and take their chances with the beauty queen on deck? The World Series is on the line, and Racine wants to take its chances against Dottie? It was obviously the wrong call, since Dottie ends up blasting a single to score the runners and give Rockford a lead. Just imagine if it were Game 7 of the real World Series, and Barry Bonds came up in this situation, with first base open. What would you do?

Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7

Corrected entry: At the beginning of Part 1, we are told that the Simpsons are in Marrakech, Morocco. At the airport, however, we can see on the building 'Marrakesh Airport' - the spelling is different. (00:02:20 - 00:03:15)

Yoshi

Corrected entry: When Brynner and McQueen are riding the funeral hearse and someone fires a gun at Brynner from a nearby building window, at first there's no noticeable change. Then, in the very next shot, Brynner's cigar is suddenly wrecked, supposedly from that single shot.

Corrected entry: I find it very strange that none of the bandits recognized Buchholz when he went "undercover" and posed as one of them. They saw his face, he even spoke a few words, so why didn't they see at once that he was not one of them?

Tree House of Horror VI - S7-E6

Corrected entry: When Homer is in the real world at the end of the "Homer3" segment, he sees a store selling erotic cakes. The door is already open, yet it makes a bell ring, as if Homer pushed opened the door because it was closed. (00:20:50)

Corrected entry: At the beginning, when Tess is reading aloud facts about Mr. Twain, she says he was born in 1906. At the dinner table, Twain says he is 76 years old. This constitutes the date being 1982. Judging from the vehicles and clothing worn by the actors, the movie is set earlier than the 80's, probably the 50's or so.

Corrected entry: In the climactic game, the Sharks score a touchdown late in the 4th quarter that cuts Dallas' lead to 35-31. In such circumstances, most teams would have tried a 2-point conversion that if successful, would have made the score 35-32 and allowed them to tie the score with a field goal.

Corrected entry: When Scott sends Mika the email about her not coming to America and then Mika opens the email, why is it light at both places?

Corrected entry: Sol says that density is weight over volume, but density is actually mass over volume and any self-respecting mathemetician would know that mass and weight are not the same thing. Weight is force dependent on gravitational pull, while mass is an independent characteristic.

Corrected entry: When Mitch is seen removing the original and copies from the copy machine, the copies are upside down as compared to how he had the original on the glass.
