    That completely ruined Castaway for me... I could not get past it. It also bothered me a lot in Transformers.

    Yeah, it just totally ruined Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

    That didn't bother me... Completely different... And good for them for using White Castle and not McDonald's....

    Asshole kids in the row in front of me who text message during the whole damn movie. Turn your fucking cellphones off or get the fuck out.

    That also happened in Wayne's World. And it was pretty funny too.

    When directors feel the need to insert themselves into the movie. Hello, M. Night Shyamalan!

    Though, their friends (Adam Sandler's) or their family members (Ron Howard's) doesn't bug me.

    I know, I don't get the logic, either.
    ;)

    Not doing that would have made Rocky and Unforgiven, for two, a pair of whole different movies.

    Screwing with the facts . . . when you do not really need to.

    Eight Men Out: Charles Comiskey did not screw Eddie Cicotte out of his "30 win" bonus in 1919. He stiffed him in 1917.

    Apollo 13: Jim Lovell's crew did not bump Alan Shepard's for the Apollo 13 spot because of Shepard's inner-ear disorder. Shepard's crew was bumped to Apollo 14 because he needed more time to get up to speed, since he had not flown in 10 years.

    I'd like to know just what FedEx paid to get constantly fellated in Cast Away . . . any guesses?

    The one thing that bothers me is when they wet down the streets when they're doing scenes with cars driving at night. Especially when the plot makes it obvious that there hasn't been any rain or if the street is wet but nothing else is.

    I know it's for the visual of all the lights reflecting, but it's so noticable.

    I'm guessing FedEx paid upwards of $10 million and it wouldn't surprise me if it was twice that... Maybe the same for Wilson...

    I read somewhere a few years back that the two biggest bidding wars are usually to be the car in a Bond film and the sunglasses that Tom Cruise wears (this was pre meltdown).
