You are right Jerry. When I get a cup of coffee from a vending machine, I handle it carefully, because it is usually full to the brim, and sip in gently to test how hot it is. On TV, they grab it and chug-a-lug on it like there was only an inch of cold coffee in the bottom. Looks really phoney
Oh, yeah . . . you guys have sure hit on a lot of things that for a while, I thought
I was maybe the only one to see -- first of all, that coffee drinking where they
make it appear as if there is nothing in the cup (which I'm sure there isn't really),
but they could at least make it look believable to the viewers.
Plus others, like rearview mirrors removed so we get a good view of the driver and
passenger, streets being wet in many movies, the quick access to all/any computer,
etc, etc . . .
There were some in older movies where a car with hubcaps looses one during a
police chase, for instance, but has it back on in a later scene of the same run.
Picking out such fallacies in TV shows and movies tend to bring back a bit of
memories from my days/nights in MI and ending up in PI work; and, I DO want to
say thanks that I am not the only weirdo (as I often get called by family members)
for picking out this kind of stuff that so many seem to not care about . . .
