Did anyone else notice how the bottle of Henry's kept switching sides (left to right) of the six pack on the kitchen counter? The label kept turning too. First the black/white cookie, then this. Is this a plot to keep the observant entertained, or just bad prop management.

Didn't notice the turning bottle, but I did notice it was Weinhard's. Not bad stuff if you're in New York and can't get a *real* West Coast microbrew, like Anchor, Sierra Nevada, Red Tail, or Red Hook. Or he could have gone with a local choice, like Brooklyn.

-- I agree, I think that it happens quite often. Unfortunately, I became aware of this feature of movies, and so now, I am constantly looking for such things in films- it's _very_ distracting. Like in When Harry Met Sally, when Billy Crystal is supposed to be spitting grape seeds out the window; when they do an outside shot of the car, his window is closed!
I haven't yet started noticing them in TV shows, but after all these posts, I may start- AUGH! How can I look to the cookie, if it keeps switching around?!?!?!?

In article ,
In Harry met Sally - the closed window was part of the grape seed spitting joke. The seeds stick to the window and Sally gives Harry a look. He the mutters and rolls down the window.

P.S. When Harry Met Sally was one of the few films which are prefect in that they do exactly what they set out to do with nothing extra (INHO, of course!)

This shouldn't even be in this newsgroup, but I just thought I'd point out that the part the other person was talking about happened after Harry supposedly rolled the window down. He spits, the window is closed, he rolls it down, he spits a few more times, and then the car drives by with the window up. Seconds later, Harry spits out the open window again. I agree though, great movie.
ObSein:
Have any more of the episode capsules been completed? The ones I have are:
The_Airport The_Contest The_Glasses The_Implant The_Junior_Mints The_Movie The_Old_Man The_Outing The_Pez_Dispenser The_Pilot The_Smelly_Car The_Stakeout The_Subway The_Visa
They're really great, but some of the earlier episodes would be fantastic. Thanks to Scott Simpson for his efforts!

Continuity flaws and things like that are so commonplace in films that they do sometimes detract from the overall impression or effect that is supposed to come out of a particular scene. One of my favorites is the reflection you see in Raiders of the Lost Ark when Harrison Ford is looking straight at the snake... that ruined the entire thing. There's an excellent compilation of these types of film goof-ups floating around on most FTP sites and even on good BBSs... the Blade Runner ones are really great as are the rest of the Raiders of the Lost Ark ones. Actually, they're all good and actually made me do a frame-by-frame of the ones I have on laserdisc (CAV).
