re: I feel stupid...what are some movie facts you didn't realize for waaay too long

I'd have to think really hard.

Only a minor one comes to mind currently.

The first time I watched Breaking Bad I thought Skyler was helping Ted cook the books before she found out about Walt's double life. This supposed fact caused me to really hate her character for the rest of the series because of her seemingly hypocritical nature.

Re-watching the episode a few days ago, I realize now that Skyler helps cook the books after she figures out Walt's secret life. Her decision makes a little more sense now.

I could probably find a lot of little things about the show that I initially missed. The fake eye that Walt finds in the swimming pool. Somehow I completely missed connecting the visual motif throughout season 2 and thought it was an actual person's fake eye.
