Every movie with Pterosaurs depicts them with grasping talons on their feet, like a bird. In reality, the structure of their feet and wings made this impossible. They were actually flat-footed (not all that different from human feet) and therefore could only catch/carry prey with their mouths.

Alt: A shot from a Jurassic Park movie. Two humans are running on the ground and we see the (inaccurate) feet of a pterosaur swing into the foreground, ready to pick one of them up and fly away like a bird.

Can you think of a movie/ tv trope that is a wildly inaccurate representation of what they’re trying to depict? For me, it’s science stuff . They’ll show a scientist and say something like “ he has a ph. D in molecular biology “ and then have him solving physics or organic chemistry problems

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

This moment in Tremors was improvised by Kevin Bacon on the spot, as was Fred Ward's reaction. Bacon had worked in set construction when he was starting out as an actor, and even helped finish some of the sets on Tremors, so he knows how to swing a hammer.

What's your "He actually broke his toe here" thing? The factoid you can't help but share whenever it comes up. For me, it's how the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV actually wrote and recorded the song that he's playing because he was annoyed the original song they had didn't sound punk at all.
