re: Do errors in movies take you out of the experience?

Depends how bad the error is.

Something like using parsecs as a measure of speed in Star Wars doesn't bother me much at all.

The terrible fighting by the extras in Dark Knight Returns? That's really pushing it.

Complete disregard for rules in sports movies? FML.

Oddly enough, the one that bugs me the most is the way movies and TV portray how local news broadcasts and live shots work. It drives me nuts to see a "live shot" in a move where it's just a camera guy and a reporter w/no production truck, no lights, no cables, and a reporter running up and talking to a random stranger to ask them what's happening. Maybe it's b/c I used to be a news producer so I know how it all really works but that's the one thing that will instantly take me out of a movie.
