CocoCami

Corrected entry: When Invisible Girl sneaks out to see the Silver Surfer on her own, she is able to go through the glass door without opening it. This is not possible seeing as she can go invisible, and not completely disappear.

Correction: She sneaks in an open door, not through a wall.

Transformers (2007)

Corrected entry: Sam's pants get torn off by Frenzy but when Bumblebee kicks him and Mikaela out of the car in the tunnel so he can get a makeover, Sam's pants are back on even though he did not pick them up from the ground.

Correction: They show a short shot of their items being picked up. Also, it's not a continuous shot, there's plenty of time before the tunnel scene for Sam to have retrieved his pants.

A La Cart - S8-E2

Corrected entry: When one of the kitties was telling of what happened with Hux, the scene shows him leaning his head on her shoulder her moving and him falling on the floor and the waiter rushing over and pressing the panic button. When the waiter is interviewed, he claims he found Hux slumped over the table and then checked for a pulse. He was already on the floor by the time the waiter arrived.

Boobra

Correction: The waiter obviously lies, as he's the one who killed him. He wanted to make it sound like a heart attack.

Just Friends (2005)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Ryan Reynolds returns to his bedroom for the first time in 10 years, he walks over to the wall of pictures. Normally a photo curls if all corners are not held down after a few months, however, after 10 years these photos somehow remain flat only using a little blue wall putty in the center of the photos.

Correction: Not necessarily. If the photo paper is heavier, it can easily stay flat. I have pictures that have stayed flat after years of being attached only at the center. Plus a lot are overlapped, weighing the corners to the walls.

Friends (1994)

Correction: You can wear a bra and breastfeed. Many nursing bras even cover almost the entire breast while allowing a very small opening for latching.

The Langoliers (1995)

Corrected entry: When the survivors of Flight 29 first wake up and start figuring out their situation, Jenkins tells Albert that everyone on the plane, including the people who disappeared, must have been asleep when the event happened - because if anyone was awake during the event (whatever it was) they would have screamed and awakened the others. But later, when they are about to go back through the time rip at the end of the movie, he shouts that everyone on the plane who was awake the first time they went through disappeared. We cannot dismiss this as Jenkins just contradicting himself or changing his mind - first, because there is no indication that he changed his mind or believed his initial analysis was mistaken, and second, because his initial analysis is just stupid. How could anyone think, even momentarily, that every single person on a plane, including the crew, could have fallen asleep at the same time? And if everyone on the plane had been asleep, why would only some of them have disappeared and some survived?

Correction: Between them first waking up and going back through the time rip, he's obviously figured out a lot more than his original theory included. His initial analysis being stupid is a character flaw - although an understandable one considering what had happened.

CocoCami

Corrected entry: The Reverend Mother welcomes a new postulant, who is wearing a bright turquoise belted dress. Soon after, when Maria returns to the Von Trapp children through the garden, she is quite obviously wearing the same dress. Do the women at the abbey share their "worldly clothes"? (01:52:20 - 02:00:55)

Correction: They can, yes. Often the clothes brought in with postulants are put into a community wardrobe for public use.

CocoCami

Correction: As Maria said, new postulates give their clothes away when they enter the convent. Maria may have taken the new girl's clothes because she had already given away her clothes.

Grease (1978)

Corrected entry: How is it possible that Cha-Cha and Danny win the dance contest when Danny and Sandy were the only pair left on the floor? Yet nobody noticed the switch?

Correction: The principal does notice. But it doesn't matter, they're still the best dance couple according the judges.

The Shining (1980)

Corrected entry: As Jack looks into the lobby of The Overlook and hears Dick yelling, "Hello" we get another chance to see the rug underneath the television set. The one there now is different then what was there as Danny and Wendy watched "The summer of 42" earlier in the movie, and the TV is in front of the wrong window. (00:51:40 - 02:07:20)

????

Correction: There's no reason they can't have rearranged furniture and changed rugs as the movie goes on.

CocoCami

Corrected entry: In the scene when the girls are in the kitchen and Kate gets four Diet Cokes out and Kate's Mom comes in, her mom says a couple lines, grabs one of the Diet Cokes and walks off, she then tips it back and drinks it, however, she never opened it and she tips it back all the way as if drinking the last drop in the can. This is completely impossible in the time provided.

Correction: Kate had opened it before she set it on the bar. As far as tipping it back, I know people who can drain a soda can in the blink of an eye.

The Shining (1980)

Corrected entry: People who "Shine" are able to see the past, present, and future through visions, yet Dick Hallorann is not able to see the trouble waiting for him at The Overlook. (02:05:15)

????

Correction: They don't see the entire future. It's not a given that they'd see everything that will happen to them.

CocoCami

Corrected entry: When Harry is standing on his broomstick to catch the Snitch at the Quidditch scene and then he falls, it is impossible for the Snitch to get in his mouth without its wings cutting Harry's lips.

Correction: How so? We have no idea what the Snitch is made of. The wings could very likely be soft enough to rub right over Harry's lips without leaving a mark.

CocoCami

Correction: When Harry spits the Snitch out of his mouth the wings are all folded up so the Snitch could have very easily folded up its wing after going inside of Harry's mouth.

Corrected entry: There are two objects which are "remains" of something that was actually alive: Rexy the T-Rex skeleton and King Ahkmenrah. If during night time King Ahkmenrah gets his body back to its original state, why is it that the Tyrannosaurus does not, and is instead running around as a skeleton?

Correction: Because the T-Rex did not enter the museum with everything. The King was mummified, he had his organs, skin, etc. Rexie doesn't have that with him to bring it back to life.

Moulin Rouge (2001)

Corrected entry: "Moulin Rouge" is set in Paris 1899. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec experienced a nervous breakdown in 1899 and was incapacitated. He was in a clinic for three months, tried but failed to regain his health at a sea resort in Normandy, and was finally put under his mother's care for his final days in September of 1901. Therefore, Toulouse-Lautrec would not have even been in Montmartre because he was both physically and mentally ill.

Correction: It's not supposed to be historically accurate, nothing within the movie fits into Lautrec's timeline. He's a fictionalized account of a real person.

National Treasure (2004)

Corrected entry: When Ben Gates toasts the Founding Fathers with Abigail at the scene in the National Archives, the glasses are filled with Champagne. When Gates actually guzzles the drink, look closely - its water.

Correction: No it's not. It's still bubbly and has a slight color to it. It's either champagne or a substitute.

Patriot Games (1992)

Corrected entry: During the trial, when Sean Miller bends over the stand to confront Jack, the guard restrains only one of his arms. Nevertheless, Sean still keeps his free arm behind his back, as though waiting for the second guard to take his cue to restrain him.

Correction: That's because he's not struggling. He knows they're going to restrain him, he's simply trying to get a word in before they do. He's offering both arms for restraint before the guard even touches him.

Clueless (1995)

Corrected entry: Christian is supposed to spend one semester at one parent's place in Chicago, one semester in Beverly Hills. It's clear that the movie takes place over a school year (meaning not one spring semester to the following fall): they are shown constantly as being in classes and at school (and no mention is made that it might be summer school), there are no plotlines involving summer vacation, etc. So the "other semester," when Christian comes back, has to be the winter (aka spring), not the fall. But the day (and other immediately following) he comes back to school, everyone is wearing summer-like outfits: little jackets, short sleeves, lots of exposed skin (not just Cher, who has her reasons for wearing skimpy clothes). Since the movie is filmed and set in Los Angeles, everyone writing the film would know that, contrary to popular belief, it does actually get cold in Los Angeles in the winter. January and February's average lows are 49 degrees; no way all those kids would be dressed that skimpily with the temps in the 40s and 50s.

Correction: I live in LA. It's pretty common for students to dress that way in the winter.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: Why do the clones have different accents? Most obvious is Lincoln Six Echo's Scottish brogue. Where did he get that? Accents aren't genetic - being the clone of a Scottish man wouldn't give you a Scottish accent. All of the clones should have the same accent, the one they develop as they learn to speak, by listening to and impersonating the voices they hear others around them using.

Correction: Lincoln doesn't have a Scottish brogue, he develops it after imitating the real Tom Lincoln. However, the people around the clones have varying accents, including Merrick's English tones, so varying accents wouldn't be unheard of. It would depend on who they spent the most time around.

CocoCami

Corrected entry: The case that holds the Declaration of Independence changes throughout the movie. This might be explained away except for the fact that the last change, to the black case, would have meant that Ian would have taken it out of the gray/white case that he picked up in the street after Abigail falls and loses it and puts it in a nice, new black case that he just happens to have. The case was originally red with the gray/white case as an inner case or liner for the red case. Ian's character hasn't cared if the Declaration gets shredded to confetti, so why would he care that it gets a nice, new black case instead of the gray/white one he picked up in the street?

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Because it's his bargaining tool. Without it in pristine shape, he can't get Ben to cooperate. There's plenty of time between him picking up the white case and meeting up with Ben for him to pick up a new case for it, or he had it from when he'd planned to steal the document.
