The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - 29 mistakes
Revealing: In the first scene in Edoras (the capital city of Rohan). The first pan over Edoras: You can see the pan is shown in reverse, with the smoke going into the chimney and the fire at the end is burning backwards. The flags are fluttering oddly as well.
Revealing: When Theoden is talking to Eowyn before he dies one can see that he is wearing contact lenses.
Factual error: Hobbits can't grow beards, yet Samwise Gamgee has stubble in most of his close-ups in Return Of The King. Even if they could grow beards, it seems unlikely they would be in a position to be shaving on that journey.
Continuity: In one of the final scenes of the movie, Frodo is writing in the book "There and Back Again," adding his own story. As he is finishing, he clutches the wound he received from one of the Nazgul in "The Fellowship of the Ring." In the hand that he uses clutch the wound, he still holds the quill pen. At the same time, Sam is entering Bag-End. When the camera angle changes, Frodo is still clutching the wound, but the pen has found its way into the ink jar.
Audio problem: In the scene where Gandalf enters the chambers of Gondor to speak with the Steward of the throne, the sound of his staff striking the floor matches the action in sporadic patches only. In the shot where he departs, that specific sound is consistent.
Continuity: When Gollum drops the lembas from the ridge, you see the leaves it was wrapped in fluttering away, and the wafers fall roughly straight down. However, when Sam finds it later, the lembas is still mostly wrapped in the leaves, with only a few morsels broken off and laying around unwrapped.
Revealing: In the scene where the paciderm animals of Mordor are introduced in the battle, there's a shot that pans the front of the line of them. One animal has wood connecting its larger tusks, complete with barbs jutting out from the wood. As the orcs flee to regroup behind the animals, several run through the contraption unharmed.
Continuity: In the scene where Frodo is helped by Galadriel in Shelob's lair (in the "dream sequence") he lays on the ground. In his hair on HIS right side (viewers' left) is what appears to be some clovers or leaves or grass. The camera cuts to Galadriel then back to Frodo, the thing in his hair is gone. The camera cuts to her again and back to Frodo, the thing is back in his hair.
Continuity: In the scene where Frodo is tied up in the Tower, part of his face and hair is partly covered in spider webbing - the only opening is his face where Sam parted it to see that he had "died". After a few scenes of orcs, the next shot shows that Frodo has clean hair/face and his hands are still tied up.
Continuity: When Gandalf enters the castle of Rohan, the shot of his back shows him holding his staff in a vertical position. When the shot turns to his front, he is holding his staff in an horizontal position. The shot turns to his back, and the staff is again in the vertical position. Then the shot turns again to his front, showing his staff in a horizontal position.
Continuity: The scene where Pippin and Gandalf are talking about "the end" in Minas Tirith, during the battle of Pelenor fields. In one close-up shot, Gandalf's sword blade is shiny and silver. In the next shot, it's coated in black orc blood, then in the next shot, it's silver again.
Continuity: In the scene where Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli enter the cave where the dead army resides, Aragorn pulls a torch seemingly from nowhere (especially interesting considering that his horse, and consequently all supplies, have run off in the scene before).
Continuity: When Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, Gimli etc, ride up to the gates of Mordor, the main characters go up to the gate on their own to demand it opens. The trails the horses leave on the way towards the gate are different to those that you see in the shot when they retreat after the gate ha
1) This one wasn't spam - this was Yahoo letting you know that they're finally going to act on their spam policy that they told us about a year ago. You agreed to them sending you service announcements in the EULA when you first signed up - thus, while you can happily block their domains, there isn't really anything you can do about them sending you this email.
I'm talking about their sending me spam in the future. If you stopped to think about it, you would have understood that.
2) If you had bothered to click on the link in the email, you'd find (as I did) that when you opted-out a year ago, they haven't changed anything: you're still opted-out. I fully expect to not receive anything further from them.
My point is that I shouldn't be forced to jump through their hoops to change something back to what I wanted originally. No means no, it's that simple.
It's a threat, dipshit. It doesn't mean I'm going to act on it. I just threw it in there to maybe get them to think about it, which I'm sure they won't.
I just sent out a nice little e-mail to Yahoo and one of their upstreams regarding this change in policy reminding them that spamming a military e-mail account (mine) is a very big no-no and that I will gladly persue this with my local OSI officer (Office of Special Investigation) and, as an admin here on a military installation, I'll be happy to block any and all e-mail comming from their domains.
Do I expect them to do anything about it? Certainly not, but I'll still have fun blocking them when they go ahead and start spamming everyone on my base. Where do they get the idea that, because I opted out of ALL of their spam before, I want to receive MORE spam from them now? Why should users have to jump through hoops for these people???
Great, now that everyone knows it's possible, how long until we start to see plans for building your own box to enable this "feature" in other people's vehicles?
After having both parent die slowly of cancer, I can imagine how many people will be beating down the FDA's door to push this treatment into mainstream use?
Even only using it on "terminally ill" patients (maybe there wouldn't be such a thing with this method? At least, not by todays standards), would the FDA still take years, if not a decade, to approve this?
I submitted this a couple of weeks ago, gotta love how the system works.:(
The idea of this changer is pretty cool, though. Simple yet elegant. I wonder how bored he was when he started tinkering?

Jar Jar lives? Please God, NO!!!!!

Bwahahaha!!!
I thought they already call it "Corporate America"?

And that would be a bad thing? Ice wine is like drinking liquid sugar. I'll stick with my lagers. :)
I thought every minute has 60 seconds? How can you have a "short minute"? ;)
