And the logo you’re using is an old YouTube logo as well!
In ‘Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion,’ at their prom in 1987, Romy has her hair styled after Madonna’s ponytail from her Blonde Ambition Tour. However, the tour didn’t take place until 1990.
Another screw up in ‘The Hurt Locker’ is that one of the characters is seen playing on a Xbox 360, which wasn’t released until 2005, and the game he was playing ‘Gears of War’ wasn’t released until late 2006, maybe it was about time travel, and I never noticed!
You think that is bad? One character plays an x-box 360. Which didnt launch until 2005 and on said x-box he is playing gears of war which did not launch until 2006!:)
I was always puzzled by Pulp Fiction’s Uma Thurman introducing Vincent Vega in a deep voice. Turns out, he revealed himself to be an “Elvis-man” in a deleted scene. Uma’s comment, “An Elvis man should love it” about the choice of restaurant also makes more sense. But these are continuity issues, not anachronisms…
At least I’m not the only one bothered by this.
I do not disagree with this blog post!!
I could not think you are more right..
May be this blogs best article to date…
Above all, a well executed piece!
