re: “Acthually that’s incorrect”- post your favorite nitpick or plothole in a movie or series

A Few Good Men is a movie that i love but it has several glaring issues, to include
1. the two Marines getting convicted of "conduct unbecoming of a Marine" which isnt a real charge
2. Marines saluting indoors
3. some made up thing where you are apparently supposed to salute an officer when he leaves the room?
One of the things that gets me is how he keeps getting warned about accusing a "highly decorated" Marine of literally anything improper. They did a video with a real life JAG lawyer who pointed out that it was bullshite. One of the "highly decorated" Marines was a Lieutenant - what exactly had he done in less than 4 years that would make "potentially ordered Marines to commit manslaughter" be something to be careful of accusing him of?
Man, being a defense attorney in the JAG would be pointless. "Sorry, the prosecution's main witness has a bunch of medals. Might as well plead guilty now, or you'll get a court martial yourself."

Shawshank Redemption.
How did Andy get that poster back on the wall so tight or even at all since he had to go face first into the hole in the wall?

pretty sure they made it a point a few time to say "without sufficient evidence"
I always took that to mean you can't just throw around accusations at a superior officer without having some sort of evidence beyond "well we believe it did happen" or "he said / she said"
maybe someone from the military can clear that up.

i think they were specifically referring to Jessup but i might be misremembering.
but regardless, Kaffee says he would get court-martialed for going after Jessup (And, for defense counsel Kaffee, that’s right, it’s a court-martial! Yes, Johnny!), but i dont see how that could possibly happen as a result of charging Jessup and then losing

yeah i think you're right. i've still never heard of anyone getting court-martialed for accusing an officer of doing something without evidence. that shite happens all the time actually.

and from Back to the Future II
that sports almanac was really damn small to have every sports outcome for 50 years.
Almanac definitely has random college football games because they listen to one and old Biff gives him the outcome.
Definitely has college football because Young and Old Biff listen to a game.
Definitely have Horse Racing because a Newspaper clipping shows that Biff won big at the races.
50 years of outcomes should be about hell of a lot thicker than that paper magazine.

I’ll start, as someone who loves Peter Jackson’s Lord of The Rings why is Sauron so opposed to siege? Seems they could’ve easily won at helms deep if they were patient. Then again, I guess they still get smashed when the rohirim show up, but then again they wouldn’t have been worn down by a night of hard fighting. But it seems equally as successful plan at minis tirith.
Were there no Ring at play, that would have been fine. But Sauron was anxious to find it as he knew it was in motion. And close. But the one thing he never expected was the Fellowship's task, until it was too late.
Saruman was supposed to take care of , wipe out Rohan. Damn near did, too. But in addition to the Riders coming to King Théoden's aid, don't forget the Huorns, the tree like army which obliterated all of Saruman's Uruk Hai. Not something either Saruman or Sauron foresaw.

I like math a bar of gold is about 27 lbs gold in 1998 was approx $300.00 an oz $129,600 per gold bar 140 billion would be approx 1,080,000 gold bars 29.2 million lbs of Gold Average dump truck capacity is 20k lbs Need approximately 1450 Dump trucks
So 14 dump trucks is still a cool $1.3 billions. Interesting!

Tape the top two corners of the poster, and tape two pennies to the bottom two corners. Lift up the bottom of the poster and crawl in letting the two pennies weight make it flush w/ the wall.

Sorry, yes, that's the point I was trying (and failing) to make. How would you EVER charge someone that high up with any crime? If they're found not guilty, you're boned, no matter how air tight the case against them was.

no, you made your point fine and i agree. Kaffee would have to go to NCIS or something like that and make a case that there had been a cover-up or something like that and they could potentially re-open it. but just to randomly accuse a colonel of something like that doesnt really mean anything legally. it would be a career killer for a young officer for sure, but that's about it unless he just went crazy with a bunch of baseless accusation, in which case they could charge him with like an article 134 or maybe disrespect (article 89). the bottom line is that the UCMJ is so broad you can charge anyone with virtually anything. that doesnt mean you would ever actually get it to court martial.
interestingly, there was a real-life similar situation not long ago. a female Marine claims to have been sexually harassed and then accuses a Marine general of basically ignoring it in an open letter to Task and Purpose

she should have been court martialed for that, IMO, due to the fact that she accused him publicly. but nothing happened to her.

In "Second Act," a 2018 rom com with JLo, Treat Williams, and Vanessa Hudgens, it's stated that JLo attended the Wharton Business School at Harvard. . Wharton is located at the University of Pennsylvania.
How could the writers and producers not have known that? That annoys me.

He wasn’t patient, he thought Isildur’s heir had the One Ring. He believed he needed to move before Aragorn mastered the Ring.

Mills pursues John Doe in a rather lengthy chase out of a building, across a street, and into some alley after he and Somerset show up at his apartment in Se7en. Afterwards, Mills and Somerset are right back at the apartment door when Somerset asks Mills what he’s doing and they argue about the library records issue before Mills kicks in the door.
Seems like Somerset would have asked that question and pushed the issue like he did long before they were all the way back on that hallway a few steps away from the door.

Cute nitpick: Boy sitting at table to the right of the column covers ears before gun shot.
I wonder how many takes were done before this scene.

The brazen sexual harassment to the Commander when they are having lunch which wouldn’t have been acceptable even in the early 90’s.
Clearly they had a military advisor but chose to ignore the advice that didn’t fit the characters they’d imagined.

In the remake of The Thomas Crowne Affair, all they had to do to figure out who the thief was was rewind the security footage more and see who left the briefcase under the bench in the gallery.

In Double Exposure, S5/E19 of Murder, She Wrote, Jessica calls a friend in Chicago from Cabot Cove, Maine. She says that she hopes she didn’t call during dinner since there is a two hour time difference.
Am I missing something because Chicago is Central time and Maine is Eastern. And both recognize Daylight Savings Time. Harpy ti be proven wrong that this wasn’t a careless error.
Btw, great Harry McGraw episode.
