Corrected entry: Armand and Val are drinking white wine from their wine glasses. Armand is making a toast to Barbara over the phone and breaks his wine glass. Later when Val has left and Albert has returned from his performance, Val's wine glass is on the table and Armand has an intact wine glass.

The Birdcage (1996)
10th Aug 2010
Up (2009)
Corrected entry: During the scene where Carl and Russell start to walk the house towards Paradise Falls, Carl looks up to the house and says "Don't you worry, Ellie, we'll get our house over there." The next shot shows the picture of Ellie, and through the window you can see Carl and Russell towing the house from further away. You can hear Russell say, "This is fun already." which transitions into a different shot of them. In this shot, Carl and Russell are towing the house from almost directly underneath the house, instead of more out in front of it.
Correction: Think about the physics (while at the same time suspending our disbelief of a floating house): Carl and Russell are walking in front of the house, trailing the helium-lifted house behind, and even if they walk slower, the momentum of the floating house will carry it forward and the house will, from time to time, be directly overhead.

Up (2009)
Corrected entry: In the shot where young Carl smashes at the tree and starts to run again, his shadow is at his right. After he hears a sound from the nearby house, he turns to his right and listens to the sound. The shadow has moved its direction from front to back, which is not possible.
Correction: This has been addressed before. The shadows are intricate and they are all appropriate and correct. When he falls over the tree, his shadow is behind him, indicating the sun is in front of him. And when he turns right, toward the house, the shadows are now to his right, indicating the sun is still in the same position.

Friends (1994)
The One After Ross Says Rachel - S5-E1
Corrected entry: At the point where Monica Geller shows Joey the DVD, it's not a DVD but a board to show Matt Leblanc his lines (note him moving his eyebrows).
Correction: Conjecture. Joey is a "dim bulb" and he is reacting to the situation. There is no indication that Matt LeBlanc would need cheatsheets to remember his lines.
15th Oct 2011
Friends (1994)
Corrected entry: In most episodes at any point in Joey's apartment, the amount of CDs in the CD rack keeps changing.
Correction: How on earth is that a mistake?? My CD collection changed innumerable times over the course of 10 years.

The Help (2011)
Corrected entry: During the scene when Hilley is driving in a hurry out to Skeeter's house after the book is released, there is an aerial shot where we see her car careening around a corner. She nearly runs off the road and is fish tailing down the road. Ahead of her car, skid marks from a fish tailing vehicle can be seen. These are most likely from additional takes of the same scene.
Correction: This is conjecture and not really based on fact. How do we know it wasn't a different vehicle from carousing teenagers speeding around on a country road?

Friends (1994)
The One With The Cake - S10-E4
Corrected entry: When Monica Geller tries to get a rematch on the race, Chandler Bing says they left -- but no door sound was heard.
Correction: Just because you don't hear a door close doesn't mean it didn't. They were playing a game and cheering and carrying on so it is perfectly conceivable that people could leave without being noticed.
Plus they probably shut the door very quietly so no one would notice them leaving.

Over the Hedge (2006)
Corrected entry: Several times during the film, RJ is seen going to sleep in a tree at night, which is inaccurate; raccoons are nocturnal.
Correction: Raccoons don't carry backpacks, walk upright or plan elaborate schemes either. RJ is shown in several scenes going about his business nocturnally. He is an opportunist and sleeps when he is able.
23rd Jun 2011
Toy Story 3 (2010)
Corrected entry: The way the Toys make it back to Andy's from the Day Care Center, is that they catch a ride on the garbage truck. BUT the garbage truck already had picked up the garbage from Andy's street that week! Trash is picked up once a week; not twice.
Correction: Trash is picked up twice a week where I live (northeast U.S.) and also where my relatives live (southeast U.S., southwest U.S.).
27th Jun 2011
Cars (2006)
Corrected entry: After going through all the changes in Radiator Springs (new tires, paint job, etc) the back end of Lightning McQueen's car changes shape.
Correction: All they did was remove the racing spoiler.
Correction: That's not a mistake. As you noted, he had a lot of changes made.
27th Aug 2001
Forrest Gump (1994)
Corrected entry: When Forrest is running the football field and passing all the players, he passes everyone except the referee, who can be seen moving down the sidelines at a faster pace than Forrest. (00:21:05)
Correction: How is this a mistake? So, the referee is moving faster..... because he is supposed to keep ahead of the players to be in a position to make the call. No mistake here.
20th Mar 2011
The King's Speech (2010)
Corrected entry: During the final parts of the movie, while the King is addressing all of the nations, the movie shows different families' reaction to the speech. The error comes when they show Lionel Logue's family. By this point in the movie, Logue's children are teens/young adults (proven by scene showing Logue's son,grown now, driving Logue to the palace to help King George deliver the final speech). However, the family is shown with Logue's children being alot younger.
Correction: Laurie Logue was the eldest, and he had several younger siblings. There is no mistake here.
5th Apr 2011
Julie & Julia (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Julie is cleaning her mirror prior to the arrival of a New York Times food critic who is coming for dinner, she is wearing a red pin on the right side of the collar on her blue striped blouse. As she hands the cleaning rag to her husband, the pin has moved to the left side of the collar.
Correction: Because she is cleaning a mirror and we are seeing her reflection.
21st Mar 2011
Liar Liar (1997)
Corrected entry: Max's teacher is reading to her a class a story from Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs & Ham". Jim Carrey would later play the Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and Horton in "Horton Wears A Who!", both of which are stories by Dr. Seuss.
Correction: This movie was released in 1997, many years before the other two films. It's just a coincidence, not trivia.
27th Feb 2011
True Grit (2010)
Corrected entry: Near the climax of the film when Mattie falls into the pit next to the corpse, she gets bitten by a snake on her right hand. She's laying on her back and the snake is on the left side of the screen . When she's shown as an old woman at the end of the movie, her left arm has been amputated because of the bite. She's walking into town with her back to the audience.
Correction: This has already been corrected twice. She is bitten on her left hand.
1st Mar 2011
Megamind (2010)
Corrected entry: Metro Man, as Music Man, sings "I got eyes that see through lead." this is another referance to Superman, whose eyes cannot see through lead.
Correction: The movie is loaded with pop culture references. This doesn't constitute trivia.
5th Feb 2006
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Corrected entry: Carhartt did not put their symbol on the outside of their clothing in the 1960's, 70's and 1980's, yet Ennis is wearing a Carhartt jacket with the symbol on the front.
Correction: According to Carhartt customer service, "the Carhartt originated in the 1960's and in some form or another, we have always displayed our logo, whether that was a cloth patch or on buttons such as on the bib overalls."
2nd Jan 2011
True Grit (2010)
Corrected entry: In the scene in the where the girl falls down into the mine shaft with the rattle snakes - she is bitten on the hand by a rattle snake. I could swear the scene shows the snake biting her right hand, not sure which hand Rooster cuts to suck out the venom - but in the final scene the older woman has her left arm amputated.
Correction: She was lying on her back, facing up toward the opening, and she was bitten on her left hand. She reaches across her body toward Rooster and when Rooster cuts the wound to remove the venom, you can see it's the left hand because the thumb is pointing to the left as he holds it.
6th Jan 2011
Friends (1994)
Corrected entry: Whenever exterior shots of Ross' apartment building are shown, it is across the street from Monica's apartment building, which is the side that doesn't have balconies on, however Monica and Chandler are able to see into Ross's apartment from their balcony. Even if their apartment does have a balcony on the back, Ross's building is on the wrong side of theirs.
Correction: Ross' apartment is across the alley, not across the street. Ross lives on the same block and the apartments face each other across an alley.
1st Jun 2006
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Corrected entry: In the opening scene of the film, set in 1963, several shots show a beat-up, rusty white pickup truck abandoned in a field. The truck is a 1963 Chevy, which would have been brand new at the time.
Correction: As you say, the movie is set in 1963 so the dilapidated 1963 truck may be improbable but not impossible and therefore, not a mistake.

Correction: As you say, you are seeing the "intact" wine glass "later." We cannot know what Armand did from the time he broke the glass and the "later" scene. If we have to surmise what occurred, it's highly likely that Armand got another glass because he was so upset about Val's announcement.
