i dont even consider those grade z sci-fi movies .. its too easy .
its the modern higher budget films that drive me crazy - they look at dailies - they know whats working or not .. they pay continuity people to check this stuff out.
like during a conversation scene that switches back and forth between too people ... one second the guys elbow is on the table .. strokinbg his chin or something - 1/2 second his hand is under the table ..
the mysterious self filling drinks .. etc ..
i guess they figure no one will notice ..
Premier Magazine featured an article called the Gaffe Squad every month where people wrote in about these things ...
in the long run does it hurt a movie .. maybe .. if there wasnt enough attention paid to the details - probably other parts of the prooduction failed as well..
