Impressively accurate meme. 4650630 is indeed a 2x2 lime slope peace.
I love that he has a bell to ring, presumably when he gives up on a movie so he can announce to the room when he's going to get up and walk away from it. His girlfriend/wife already knows what's going to happen. It's been 10 years, and he still hasn't picked up what she's putting down when she asks if he wants to watch Netflix and chill.
I just assumed that's the guy from cinemasins. ding
I thought of Hector from Breaking Bad when I saw that.
Bang, zoom, straight to the moon.
This channel has a lime piece as the logo if you squint your eyes.
When the movie shows anything to do with your job/hobbies
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.
they do the same thing with phone rings.
It's practically all one specific wall mount model, only the problem is that it was dubbed from a record recording, so it has warble on it. And you can very clearly hear it.
Try working in cyber security.
"I'm going to build a GUI in Visual Basic"
This is the kind of rant I came here for
There's a few reasons for this, firing the real siren on set is not practical due to the audio levels, they could maybe record it separately but that's an extra thing to do, and why bother when "air_raid_siren_004.wav" is right there? Also audiences are used to "air_raid_siren_004.wav" and they'll know immediately what it's supposed to be, if you played the real sounds and it's too unusual, it'll make the audience think about it and take them out of the story. There's so much stuff like this I'm filmmaking where if you stop to think about it critically for a second it doesn't make sense, but that's the point they don't want you thinking about that, they want you thinking about the story and the characters. I know that's frustrating when it's your topic but I'm sure you're glad they do it like this in any other case.
I'm well aware of why they don't use the actual sounds, I don't expect them to actually go out of their way to get recordings for it lol. It's just very noticeable when you're familiar with the sirens.
I hear you! I work in the field and felt like giving context, it's hard to know what's common knowledge and not sometimes. The main point is, a lot of this stuff isn't "mistakes" but either deliberate so as not to distract or just way more convenient for the production pipeline.
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.
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"
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.
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
Just once I would like a movie about a computer person that doesn’t focus on their over-exaggerated autism
The Matrix (1999)
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
Hang on to your butts!
I worked in munitions in the US Air Force. Anything to do with bombs and missiles in movies is the worst for me. No you can't outrun a blast. No, a plane cannot just do a barrel roll and have a heat seeking missile fly past it. They also don't follow your exact path. They use proportional navigation to basically find the shortest path to you.
lol yup one thing I can't ignore are helicopter and plane sounds. There could be an actual friggin blackhawk landing (Jack Ryan is a perfect example) and they edit in incorrect sounds!
They probably didn't even record any sounds when they shot the scene.
I especially hate it when you see a Warthog firing the old Avenger and they've made it sound like a slightly more rapid version of the original Gatling Gun. So underwhelming.
When the Hollywood movie shows anything related to your home country / language
insert any European watching Eurotrip, where London, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome are all shot in Prague
i mean, to be fair basically no movie is shot in the place where it's plot originated. Same for TV shows.
Yeah, yall laugh but thats some pretty damn specialist knowledge there
Autists gonna autist

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.
How can someone pay attention to this level of detail?
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.
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.
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.
I'm this way with knitting VS crochet, as well as watching if someone is actually knitting or "knitting."
Uh, yeah, well, whenever you see something like that in a Stephen King movie...Derry's evil did it.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
