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 Any of the CSI shows. One of my favorite examples is CSI Miami, the character played by Emily Procter comes striding in with her skin tight white pants and stiletto heels, kneels on one knee with her long hair loose and hanging down as she's looking at the body. Some cop or something comes in and says something to her and she flips her hair around and says, "Wait outside, you're messing up my crime scene!" I howled! 🤣
They wear rubber gloves though lol.
😅 ALL THE LOOSE HAIR. It is wild how dolled up those investigators are, no?
@MLClark And the heels!
I saw a preview from one show where the female cop or FBI or whatever she was pulled out a gun and had to chase a bad guy while she was (for some reason) wearing high heels and a towel. But whoever the actress (or stuntwoman) was, they were pretty amazing at running in heels!
