Life or Something Like It (2002)
1 question
Directed by: Stephen Herek
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Tony Shalhoub, Edward Burns, Christian Kane
Continuity mistake: When Lanie and her sister Gwen are talking at Gwen's home there is a plate of cookies sitting on the table between them. As the conversation shifts back and forth between them, the positions of the cookies on the plate shift.
Lanie: I met a homeless guy and he had a vision.
Cal: What like Espn?
Lanie: No, he had ESP! There's no N.





Answer: Probably one of many reasons. It could be fear, denial, inevitability, accepting one's fate, and so on. Not many people want to know exactly when and how they will die.
