In Reply to: Movie Misstakes? Help! posted by Bambi B on January 22, 2005 at 15:26:41:
I couldn't tell for sure if you're implying that you think they shoot actors walking down the street with regular, unaware people walking in the shot but in case you were they don't do that.ANYONE that George Cloony passes was hired to pass or be passed.
In regards to some of the other stuff...there's a book by Walter Murch called "In The Blink Of An Eye" where he talks about how much more important it is to edit for emotional involvement than continuity.
I do the clock watching and dents on the cars thing too...but I do notice that I often notice those things only when the movie hasn't grabbed hold of me.
