In End of Watch I was totally taken out of the film by the Cholo gangster antagonists inability to shoot anything more than 10 feet infront of them. Are gangsters notoriously bad shots? are their weapons notoriously inaccurate? How could four gangsters empty their full clips into a crowd of other gangsters in an alley directly in front of them and not kill ALL OF THEM? oh and CGI BLOOD OH MY loving GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH CGI BLOOD CAME OUT OF THEM AFTER shooting Jake Gyllenhall and Michael Pena otherwise, great movie.

It didn't bother me that much, they obviously had no training and were using weapons like AKs which aren't super accurate at distance. But yeah, the blood was dumb.

It's so true Most average folks who've never fired a gun before, would be very surprised just how easy it is to totally miss a man sized target at even 10 feet. And that is from someone using the sights, standing upright and still. Imagine not using the sights, having a horrible stance, yanking on the trigger like it's a shotgun, and of course closing your eyes. That's if the gun doesn't jam after the first round  Content: Django Unchained, for Quentin Tarantino's face. I understand he makes the movies, and wants to have a part in them...

On the topic of guns, almost every movie that portrays someone using a scoped rifle seems to treat it like a video game and forgets that you have to adjust the scope based on the distance to the target. I don't remember which movie it was, but I recall a spy movie from the late 90s (maybe early 2000s?) actually showing a sniper setting up his shot and calibrating the sights the day before an assassination; it was still done with a shitload of movie logic, but I was still impressed that they at least tried.

I am not a book posted:It starred Mark Wallberg, Shooter maybe? Way earlier than that. It was something I saw in high school at the latest, which would have made it something from at least 10 years ago. edit: Pretty sure it was The Jackal starring Bruce Willis.

To add to this: almost any time a sniper rifle is about to be used it is re-assembled right before being used, which would gently caress up the zeroing of the sights/scope. And scopes always being presented as a single circle, rather than two floating circles that have to be marginally aligned to even being to get the target centered.

As for me, I can distingush between New York / Southern / West coast American accents, but that's about as far as it goes.

Usually I've been pretty good at spotting the Kiwi in a gang of Australians and various UKinans and Irish, but some Kiwis sound Australian and some Seff Effrikans sound Australian — I've had a few of every one of those in my bar over the past few weeks and it hasn't always been easy to pinpoint who's from where initially. Anyway, related ObIrrationalIrritation: District 9. When it came out I spent too much time being annoyed by the accent — I knew it was based in South Africa, but it was so Hollywood-y and the accents sounded off-place for one used to English language movies being spoken with, well, British or American accents.

In Seven Pounds, there's a character with a serious heart condition that prevents her from doing simple things like walking her dog. She has sex with the main character and nothing goes wrong. Her dog also happens to a vegetarian which I'm pretty sure is animal abuse.

Dogs can live just fine on a vegetarian diet as they're naturally omnivorous. Just like a human you'd have to be careful to ensure that they were getting all the needed amino acids and vitamins, by adding animal protein like eggs (note: a vegetarian diet, not a vegan one), but there's no reason a dog couldn't thrive without meat in its diet. Probably wouldn't enjoy it as much though. Cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores and trying to make a cat vegetarian probably would be considered abusive. I'm sure someone from PI will be around sooner or later with their hair on fire to crucify me for everything I've written above.

Also, where the hell did the main character in that movie get a box jellyfish and why did he decide to kill himself with one if he wanted to donate his organs. Another weird thing is that he caused a car crash that killed seven people because he checked his blackberry and yet he's not in jail. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 20:58 on May 5, 2013 |

Their entire body is built for eating meat, and it is much easier for them to eat and digest meat. Just because dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet does not mean it is the optimum diet for them.

In I Am Legend, there is an SR-71 Blackbird on an aircraft carrier, where Will Smith hits golf balls off of. The SR-71 Blackbird needs like, a half mile to take off and land. Maybe its more or less but, that sucker ain't landing or taking off from no aircraft carrier. Normally I wouldn't care but I love the SR-71 like a son.

Are you from Pet Island?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#Diet quote:Despite their descent from wolves and classification as Carnivora, dogs are variously described in scholarly and other writings as carnivores[149][150] or omnivores.[3][151][152][153] Unlike obligate carnivores, such as the cat family with its shorter small intestine, dogs can adapt to a wide-ranging diet, and are not dependent on meat-specific protein nor a very high level of protein in order to fulfill their basic dietary requirements. Dogs will healthily digest a variety of foods, including vegetables and grains, and can consume a large proportion of these in their diet.[3] Compared to their wolf ancestors, dogs have adaptations in genes involved in starch digestion that contribute to an increased ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet.[154]

Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade. When Indy knocks through the tomb wall and finds himself standing in a bunch of petrol, he sticks a rag on a stick in and lights it for a torch. Aren't petrol fums flammable? Wouldn't go the torch set them off? And is standing in a puddle of petrol with a purple flame on a stick really a good idea?

In The Dark Knight, when Bruce Wayne is checking out the apartment with the tied-up honor guard members and the curtain on a timer flips up, why does nobody panic or react when the police sniper shoots into the window? For that matter, why does the sniper just turn and shoot a couple of times without confirming a shot or his target?
