jazzmasterson, this is exactly up your alley (and a lot of my other friends will go "oh my" at it too). With thanks to angevin, what's geekier than complaining that a car in a movie has a too-modern grille, or that the shoulder-pads on the dress are from the wrong era?

What a monstrosity. I'll never get away with much mischief, with geeks of every stripe to mock me when I gleefully hide the wrong type in things, or put improbable fashions in period pieces.

Sometimes it's almost as if being educated in a subject is like developing rare allergies to the ignorance of others.

Ah-choo! now I won't be able to not notice. That's ok though because it makes life interesting.
