when Gennraro asked if the lab techs were “auto erotica”??
Sorry, that’s a great line. Shows he’s just a lawyer who has no expertise in the subject matter and terminology that he’s reviewing.

He’s trying to find the word “animatronic” but just whiffs.

He knew what he was saying. Just look at the creepy way he said 'auto erotica'??? It was a Freudian slip, even though he didn't know the right word, he's still a sick fokker.

It was a lame joke, regardless.

Last of The Mohicans (1994)
Hawkeye to Maj. Duncan Haywood - " One of these days, you and I are going to have a serious disagreement".
This just did not seem to be the way that people spoke to each other in the 1700s. This just sounded like a 1990s line. Sure enough, the exact same line was spoken in the 1932 film, so I assume this is in the original novel.

I'm not a lawyer or a dinosaur cloner or a museum curator and I know what the frick "animatronic" means. It's a weird arse line that makes very little sense in the context of the movie.

Well, I think that's actually from Crichton's book, but of all the things to be 'book accurate' about when so many other liberties have been taken...

Sir Richard Owen, who initiated the word 'Dinosauria' was British. That shouldn't have anything to do with describing a Brachiosaur. Scientifically, each is given a genus + species name.

Falling in the Family of Brachiosaridae, Genus Brachiosaurus, and then Species - altithorax.

What the hell are you on about?

I was simply pointing out that English man didn’t fully enunciate a word and dropped a letter, something many people from that country are wont to do.

In Interstellar, miscast Damon

He was cast perfectly to set up that unexpected confrontation.

Damon stands up and then he's like "wait no I can't watch this. I thought I could but I can't" then he starts walking away.

Because he’s a coward. They make that perfectly clear multiple times, and he even admits he is.

For Your Eyes Only, Blofeld’s pre-credit comeuppance. “I’ll buy you a delicatassen .. in stainless steel!”

No one associated with the film knew how it got in there.
