Top Ten Nitpicked Movies of all time.

From Nitpickers.com where you can post and/or refute your own nitpicks. Fun for a snarkily cynical person such as myself. I now beseech the god of double posts that I hath not him recently offended. I searched thine holy database with encouraging results.

  • Picking nits about movies misses the point, in most cases.
  • man this is hilarious, especially the refuted ones where the responders say something like "I am so tired of this!" and so forth.
  • Picking nits about movies misses the point, in most cases. If not all. B-flicks are supposed to be bad.
  • that site is almost as annoying as nitpickers...of which I often am.
  • Don't you these people have a life?
  • I like to think that I pay attention to details, but I almost never notice anything in movies. How can these things even be noticed?
  • There are almost always logical explanations for little inconsistencies in movies and TV. That's half the fun, coming up with them.
  • > Top Ten Nitpicked Movies of all time. i guess it's deliberate that there are 11 movies on the list?
  • B-flicks are supposed to be bad. I am starting to get the impression that you are actually a bit thick. Or just know nothing about movies, perhaps.
  • I hate to nitpick, but I think a site like this would be more interesting if you could also post cool things that the director _meant_ to do that people may not notice. I just finished watching Trois Couleurs (trilogy, link is to the third film, a great film if you haven't seen it) with my GF and between the two of us there were plenty of odd coincidences that the director obviously intended which one of us noticed and the other missed. Dialogue repeated between films, remarkable use of colour, etc etc, and I'm sure this is true even more mainstream films like Titanic.
  • Y'know some of those porn movies out there just make no sense at all.
  • Don't know about nitpicks but I do enjoy noticing things in movies that were obviously done as inside jokes. Like watching Aeon Flux last week, I noticed a quite blatant Wilhelm in the middle of a fight scene. I was amused.
  • Aww, thanks caution live frogs! I've been trying to remember the name of that famous scream lately (as well as the name of that syndrome where people compare something really bad to being like Hitler--anyone?). Good stuff, the Wilhelm.
  • Godwin (wiki article). The comparison to Hitler is usually referred to as someone "Godwinning" the conversation.
  • Thanks again! *smek!*
