I admit it: I’m a terrible person to watch films with.
Im sorry but I just can’t unsee things. If you’re going to make a film do it properly…
Watching Independence Day:
Everyone else: F18s vs Aliens is cool!
Me: The warning lights are all lit - did he take off in a broken jet? That display screen doesn’t exist. F18s don’t have drogue parachutes.
Watching behind enemy lines:
Everyone else: Run from the missile!!
Me: Missiles don’t behave like that. They’re faster, don’t fly in formation pairs and burn out of fuel quicker than that scene takes. And the pilot should have dropped tanks and popped flares right at the beginning. And the tanks wouldn’t have exploded like that.
Watch Braveheart:
Everyone else: Freedom!
Me: they’ve painted their faces the colour of a flag that doesn’t exist yet. He was a Lord not a peasant, the Scots had the sophisticated pikemen, armour and weapons too, not just the English. He didn’t capture York, and the French girl is only 9 and living in France at the time. If that French Princess ever met William Wallace it would have been just his head on a big stick many years later.
Pearl Harbour
Everyone else: this isn’t a good film.
Me: <noisily being sick in a corner>
