Also when you die your eyes stay open they don't close as seen on TV.

Or that dead bodies are messy and smell, even when fresh. South Park included it in an episode, but it is often not shown that when one ceases to live their ability to hold in waste fluids does as well and dead bodies are likely to smell of and be covered in urine and feces.

Family Guy pointed this out as well. How amusing is it that the cartoons are more realistic!!

That was the reason I even called 911 when I found my mother. She hadn't voided, she smelled lovely, and when I cleared her tongue, there was just even of a sigh to start CPR.

I've heard a LOT of military personnel say that they thought (country) was beautiful, but smelled simply awful.

Oh, and The Other Boleyn Girl. Decent chick flick if you cared absolutely nothing about historical facts.

Ditto the Elizabeth movies that Cate Blanchett was in.

In the movie Speed, the whole bus drama ends at the airport then a minute later they're at Pershing Square and they've brought Sandra Bullock with them. Pershing Square is about 25 miles from the airport in downtown Los Angeles. Probably a two hour drive in L.A. traffic. It's completely silly.

That movie went from "semi" realistic to "silly" the moment they had it "jump" over a 50 foot gap

Hello, just get off the stupid freeway, while it wasn't completed yet, OMG there were exits!

Plus, remember how the subway jumps the track around Gromans Chinese theater, not sure how close the subway is to that landmark, but that was pretty crazy.

I actually liked the first one, thought the sequel was lame.

I liked the first one too! Besides, it has a great line in it, "I am my father's daughter. I am not afraid of anything!"

My sister and I like to use that quote (British accent included.)

It is good if you're just watching it as a movie. The historical eff-ups are what annoyed me. The whole banishing Robert Dudley part was completely false. It makes it seem like her whole outlook on life changed just because he screwed her over, which is a total affront to who she really was IMO.
