Do you ever watch a show and burst out laughing at how incorrectly they represented a field? In a procedural I put on as background noise today, the investigator asked a prof if any of her students might harbour anti-tech views.

Her reply?

"I'm a post-modernist. In my area of study technological inventions are often viewed as art objects."

🤣 5 bucks says the writer of this script didn't even bother to look up post-modern lit and its dominant themes.

What's the best groaner you've seen?

@MLClark Continuity errors and anachronisms are my favourites. Like using a piece of tech which simply didn't exist in the time of the story.

But as a musician, the real groaners are when actors have to mime playing an instrument they don't know how to play in real life 🤣🤣

YES! Sometimes just shooting from a different angle, so we don't even see the hands mashing at a sax or the piano, is sooo much better than making viewers suffer through the actors miming. 🤣
