How can someone pay attention to this level of detail?
Some things you just know.
I’m an aviation nut. I can spot right away when a movie has an incorrect aircraft type or livery. And don’t even get me started on cockpit layouts. If you have a particular interest, usually you can spot some glaring issues that others wouldn’t even notice.
As a fellow aviation nerd, what do you think about Top Gun? Or the sequel?
Watch Flight Risk with Marky Mark. I was laughing out loud in the theater at some of the “inaccuracies”
At least they get some credit for using an actual aircraft. They filmed using an actual Cessna 208 on a platform.

All in all, despite the rather silly nature of the movie, I quire enjoyed it. Was fun.
when you interact with something on such a deep level, for me i'm a linux enthusiast and computer hardware nerd. I know quite a bit about computers, networking, operating systems and malware. These things are just second nature.
Basically all implementations of these things in movies, shows or generally any media at all, is pretty inaccurate, unless it's not the direct focal point, in which case it's "accurate enough" because it literally doesn't matter and could be some obscure implementation of something.
It's like if you hired someone, who doesn't know anything about that particular job position, to do that particular job (because that's literally what happens more of the time) they just pay someone to "make it happen" and it does, and it's often not very accurate.
When it does happen accurately, thank god they hired some weird grey beard with archaic knowledge on unix and historically relevant hardware setups, because holy shit does it add SO much to the media.
I would have probably noticed too – I had legos in the 90s and had never seen a lime piece until much later.
I don't consider myself a lego enthusiast, just an old dude who played with them when I was a kid.
