When the movie shows anything to do with your job/hobbies
You don’t understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I’m losing it
Hey, these sharks aren’t going to fuck themselves, buddy, get back to work.
That weed won’t smoke itself either

Wow they’re all inactive, but thanks!
Good. It’s Reddit culture and doesn’t belong here.
Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.
ugh, i feel like twice a week im having to tell people “using one hundred percent of your brain is called a fucking seizure”
We only use 10% of our brain, just like a traffic light only uses 1/3 of its lamps.
Maybe the movie was about epilepsy ?
We have unlocked you full potential… seizures.
Reminds me of the scene in Friends when Rachel looks Ross dead in the eye and says Jurassic Park could have happened and his entire brain goes into meltdown
I’ve got a chemistry degree and I do reenactment and how average people lived throughout history is a big hobby of mine.
Media hurts me so much.
I mean for history half of Wikipedia is garbage western liberal based narratives. Movies are at least wrong for entertainment.
Wikipedia is usually pretty good for math and science at least. So there is that. And then movies are just wrong to a comical degree. The good will hunting hallway proof still annoys me.

Not what we were talking about, but okay. Are you sure you are not the one who’s suffering from narratives?
Tankies never miss a good opportunity to bitch about liberals, even when it’s not relevant to the discussion at all whatsoever.
What do communists hate more than anything? A decentralized system where the people consuming the product are the ones creating the product, and it’s all governed transparently by the people involved getting together and having councils about what’s going to happen.
What do communists love? Putin and the way he operates the Russian government, internally and geopolitically.
It’s just basic common sense, basically. Oh also they love calling people “bootlickers” if they don’t agree with any of the above. It’s all completely sensible.
The hacking scene in the Matrix sequel is actually pretty accurate.
“My Cousin Vinny” is almost entirely realistic as far as the courtroom scenes.
A mobster reported that Joe Pesci generally plays a very accurate gangster when he plays a gangster in movies. Most of the time, he’s this weirdly dark violent loose cannon outlier, because they can’t just make every character a psychopath and have people enjoy watching the movie, but he’s the one that is playing the role accurately.
When “King of the Hill” showed Bobby doing stage magic, it was all real magic tricks with his hands and props positioned so that he’d be able to really do the things he was showing.
The corpsman scene in “Captain Phillips” was very legit.
Everything else is a bunch of crap.
There’s also this stuff: https://youtube.com/@Insider
The scene in The Incredibles where Helen is flying the plane uses accurate pilot slang as she communicates with the tower.
It usually doesn’t take much work to get stuff like that right.
And yet, so many pieces of media still get it wrong
What’s the vector, Victor
we have clearence, clarance
Hm… she uses some of the right words, but it’s not accurate to how a pilot would speak. There’s way too many words.
“Island approach, IG99 checking in VFR on top, over” would be “Island approach IG99 inbound”
“Island tower” would still be “Island approach,” and “Island tower, this is IG99 requesting vectors to the initial, over” would be “Island approach, IG99 inbound, you there?” or something.
Also, WarGames was very accurate, except for the “WOPR having artificial general intelligence” part.
nmaps a good choice to hit when your manager walks by. Always good to have it run in a loop on a terminal you can quickly tab over to from YouTube.
I’ve been working for Microsoft for the last two years now and have committed maybe 250 lines of code in total. Ask Me Anything.
Nmap isn’t encouraged where I work. I ran it once on a customer’s IP a couple months when I first started here. The firewall interpreted it as an attack, and blocked us for 20 mins. Except we had a BOVPN connection to them, so 20mins never reset because it thought we kept hitting it. Since we needed to hit it to change the setting manually, it was pretty annoying to fix, though one of our guys managed about 5-6 hours later that night.
How long will Win 10 IoT be viable for gaming and home use?
(BTW, the corpsman scene leaves me sobbing, every time, no exceptions.)
Gun related scenes are top notch in John Wick. I love how real shit happens like he loses ammo count or jams, instantly remedies the situation. And believe this, plenty of gun nuts counted for him and I’ve never heard anyone call out an inaccuracy.
Also like how there’s nothing fancy. For example, look at what the The Sommelier recommends; Glock pistols, AR-15 rifle and a Benelli for a shotgun. No idea how Hollywood resisted gimmicky bullshit, but I would have screamed if they came with a funky looking KelTec.
The action, morseo in the first movie, is on the bleeding edge of believable. I’m sure by now everyone who has any interest has seen Keanu practice guns, and before that martial arts for *The Matrix".
Hard to overstate how difficult all that is. Targeting while moving is hell, worst with a pistol, but even a shotgun isn’t much better. Notice how he reloads the shotgun before he’s out of ammo, doesn’t have to pump it? You can do the same with a semi-auto anything, don’t shoot the last round before reloading.
I could train like that for weeks and never come close. I can ping every piece of steel, over and over, but even at a creeping walk? LOL, nope. Fuck me, I can’t even master the violin or combat load with a 12-gauge. Hmmm, I’m off tomorrow and have plenty of shells.
EDIT: Speaking of jams, there’s an unscripted “stovepipe” in The Way of The Gun that Benecio del Toro clears with a textbook move. I’ve managed to do that once I saw it!

IDK how much of that being shown to marine recruits is real, or if so, how much was just because the marine trainers wanted the recruits to have something badass they could aspire to for themselves. But apparently there’s a bit of truth to it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhV2u4a_pV0
Joe Pesci apparently did the same thing in Goodfellas, with wanting full load blanks in his gun for shootout scenes.
Just once I would like a movie about a computer person that doesn’t focus on their over-exaggerated autism
The Matrix (1999)
Every character in the matrix has turboautism.
The Net with Sandra Bullocksies.
Or at the very least make it some different type of autism expression, give me the tired autist who is very aware of social situations but doesn’t give a shit anymore. Or even manic goblin autist who has found stability in a form of controlled chaos, no I don’t mean in a manic pixie dream girl sorta way I mean they shot put a fucken wrench through a wall to kill a fly that’s been annoying them for the last 40 minutes sorta way.
the only good one i know is abed from community
I wanna be friends with that second one
Your second example is Wrench from Watch_Dogs 2 to a T
When the Hollywood movie shows anything related to your home country / language
When Baltic people speak with Slavic accents.
I’m not into Lego (coz it costs too much) but the lime part really stands out.
As a siren enthusiast, it gets old hearing the same few stock sounds used for civil defense sirens in films. You’ll get British WW2 siren sounds despite the movie taking place in the US, or they’ll show a siren but with audio from an entirely different siren. Even the recent Twisters movie even got it wrong, showing an American Signal Tempest-121 mechanical siren going off with audio from a Whelen electronic speaker siren.
Or drugs. I was a heavy drug addict for a good portion of my life and it’s so annoying how directors will be so up their own ass about “research” but can’t even do a simple google search to see the difference between a meth and a crack pipe (crack pipes are just a glass tube with steel wool shoved in one end. Meth pipes are the ones with the bowl on the end of the stem.) or how pupils react to opiates vs stimulants. Not every fucking drug makes them big.
The first movie I saw where the character does a shot and overdoses on heroin and if zooms in on her face and her pupils turn to pinpoints I was amazed lol. (The plane movie with Denzel Washington)
I know it’s not a huge deal and people that haven’t done hard drugs (which I understand is most people lol) it just bothers me how easy it is to take 5 seconds to do a google search on the directors phone for accuracy

Are you guys telling me that you don’t see the part numbers when you look at LEGO pieces?
What, are we supposed to believe there is a parallel universe where Lego produced lime green slopes in the 1980s? Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.
Uh, yeah, well, whenever you see something like that in a Stephen King movie…Derry’s evil did it.
And in Xena: warrior princess, a wizard did it.
I put on my robe and wizard hat
The original bottom pics were for something quite different lol
Ding, ding, ding, ding
Yeah, yall laugh but thats some pretty damn specialist knowledge there
I’m this way with knitting VS crochet, as well as watching if someone is actually knitting or “knitting.”
The whitewashing of Fritz Von Erich in Iron Claw. Also Mike had his feet in the proper place for that head lock.
Am I stupid or is this AI?
It’s 4chan
Strong argument.
Im not making an argument. It’s 4chan, of course it is stupid. (to be clear 4chan/ the post us stupid not you)
To be extremely clear, I joined Lemmy explicitly to be fucking stupid. I’m already banned for shit posting on other sites…
which part?
Lime
Lime is a color
It’s a fruit.
who tf downvoted you
The Nefarious Demiurge.
You might be stupid, yeah.
Are the sentences not making sense, is that it?
¿porque no los dos?
I do want Taco Bell right now! Thank you for reminding me!
