Monster House (2006)

Corrected entry: Near the end where Neburcracker hands DJ the dynamite, he doesn't hand him a match. A few shots later DJ has a match in his hand.

Correction: As you say, a few shots later he has the match. We see when he pulls the dynamite out that he had it tucked away in his sling. He could have kept the matches there as well and had plenty of time between shots to grab one. We even see when he falls several matches fall to the ground, so he definitely had plenty of matches on him in easy access.

Tommy Boy (1995)

Corrected entry: When Beverly is on the bed talking with Paul, in one shot her spaghetti strap is down towards her elbows. In the next shot, it is up to her shoulder. The shots moved too quick for her to fix it.

richard dryja

Correction: That's because it fell down on one side, we see her fix it. And the camera was on Paul long enough for her to slip it back on her shoulder.

Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: When Eva and Walle are in the rain and Walle covers her with an umbrella, Walle is to Eva's left. When Eva goes over her security camera and watches Walle cover her with the umbrella, Walle is facing her.

Correction: The skin of Eve is complicated, as we can see the "search" lights work through the skin with no visible lenses. It is safe to assume the camera systems are fairly complex and 360 degrees of recording.

Tommy Boy (1995)

Corrected entry: When Tommy Boy is on the phone with Michelle, Michelle says that his dad has never sold 1,000 brake pads in Oshkosh. Big Tom could have never sold that much because he died before they started to sell the brake pads.

richard dryja

Correction: So, there's no mistake then. If Big Tom had sold 1,000 brake pads in Oshkosh before they started selling them, there would be a mistake. But in this instance, Michelle is just stating the obvious in an effort to encourage Tommy.

Correction: It should also be noted the bank loan was to build a new brake pad division and the these were new and revolutionary brake pads. The company always sold brake pads. Big Tom gives Tommy a whole catalog labelled "Brake Pads" to look over, indicating the sale a wide variety of them and at the meeting after Big Tom's death, Tommy says Richard knows more about brake pads than anyone in the room. Again, indicating they've sold brake pads when Big Tom was alive.

Iron Man (2008)

Corrected entry: When Pepper helps Tony stark get his new electromagnet into his chest, you can see when Pepper fits it in, Tony locks it in place, turning it to the right. When Obediah takes it out, he turns it to the right - the same direction Tony used to lock it in place.

richard dryja

Correction: Many devices use this type of locking mechanism. Turning the device in one direction locks, then unlocks, then locks the device, similar to a ratchet. Since we never see inside Tony's chest we have to accept that the movement is correct.
