When the movie shows anything to do with your job/hobbies

You don't understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I'm losing it

Hey, these sharks aren't going to fuck themselves, buddy, get back to work.

Psych background, it's bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the "you only use 10% of the brain" crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

Reminds me of the scene in Friends when Rachel looks Ross dead in the eye and says Jurassic Park could have happened and his entire brain goes into meltdown

The hacking scene in the Matrix sequel is actually pretty accurate.

“My Cousin Vinny” is almost entirely realistic as far as the courtroom scenes.

A mobster reported that Joe Pesci generally plays a very accurate gangster when he plays a gangster in movies. Most of the time, he’s this weirdly dark violent loose cannon outlier, because they can’t just make every character a psychopath and have people enjoy watching the movie, but he’s the one that is playing the role accurately.

When “King of the Hill” showed Bobby doing stage magic, it was all real magic tricks with his hands and props positioned so that he’d be able to really do the things he was showing.

The corpsman scene in “Captain Phillips” was very legit.

Everything else is a bunch of crap.

There’s also this stuff: https://youtube.com/@Insider

The scene in The Incredibles where Helen is flying the plane uses accurate pilot slang as she communicates with the tower.

It usually doesn't take much work to get stuff like that right.

And yet, so many pieces of media still get it wrong

Nmap In The Movies

Also, WarGames was very accurate, except for the "WOPR having artificial general intelligence" part.

nmaps a good choice to hit when your manager walks by. Always good to have it run in a loop on a terminal you can quickly tab over to from YouTube.

I've been working for Microsoft for the last two years now and have committed maybe 250 lines of code in total. Ask Me Anything.

Are you guys telling me that you don't see the part numbers when you look at LEGO pieces?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Uh, yeah, well, whenever you see something like that in a Stephen King movie...Derry's evil did it.
