A friend is trying to identify which Western this quote comes from: "If I could find the man who taught you those tricks, I'd shake him by the hand and then shoot him like a dog." He has just spent the night with a woman and this is his quote in the morning.

General questions
23rd Dec 2014
Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: When the guys are brainstorming ideas, and Dale writes "Murder" on the board, the writing changes between shots.
3rd Dec 2014
The Flash (2014)
Continuity mistake: As the detectives are talking to their captain about the bank robbery, in a shot from behind the captain he takes his hands off his food and clasps them in front of him. The shot cuts to his front as he starts talking, and he moves his hands and clasps them again.
3rd Dec 2014
New Girl (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Schmidt bursts in on Cece and the surgeon, you can see that Cece has some sort of top on under her gown. Then when Schmidt goes to say goodbye to her breasts, she just undoes her robe and is nude underneath.
28th Oct 2014
The Deer Hunter (1978)
Trivia: Robert De Niro wanted a live cartridge to be in the gun when he plays Russian Roulette with John Cazale. Cazale agreed, but understandably checked the gun carefully before each take to ensure the live round wouldn't be fired when the trigger was pulled.
22nd Oct 2014
Nightcrawler (2014)
Continuity mistake: After the scene at the petrol station where we see Louis' new car, there's a high shot of him pulling up to a traffic light, with a car on the right of the screen about to pull alongside him. We cut to a shot inside looking out of the left window, so we should see that other car come into view, but it just vanishes.
15th Oct 2014
Marry Me (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Jake is introducing himself, he offers a handshake, then in a shot from behind him, hand still extended, he says "OK, you're more of a high five girl", cuts back to the front and his hand is now held up high. (00:08:15)
15th Oct 2014
The Rewrite (2014)
Continuity mistake: The second time Hugh Grant writes on the board (not "protagonist" - can't remember the word!) the writing changes between shots - most noticeably a C in the middle, which sometimes has a small loop at the top, sometimes not.
15th Oct 2014
The Rewrite (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Hugh Grant writes "Protagonist" on the board, the writing changes depending on the shot, most noticeably the G - sometimes it looks a bit like a backwards question mark, other times it's so slanted it looks more like an S.
30th Sep 2014
Scorpion (2014)
Single Point of Failure - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: Walter accesses code on the sick girl's laptop to trace the source of the virus - aside from the fact that the code comes straight up a fraction of a second after his hands even touch the keyboard, the code displayed in the black window is for a set of traffic lights, with lines like "Walk/Dont_Walk" and "Green_Arrow/Yellow_Slow." (00:08:10)
18th Sep 2014
Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Continuity mistake: In the medical area, the Doctor checks on Samuel while others look on. Sharon has both her arms down by her sides. The angle changes, just as he says "lot of visitors", and Sharon's suddenly clasping her hands together.
1st Sep 2014
Drive Angry (2011)
Factual error: When Amber Heard dives out of the caravan onto Nicolas Cage's car, the bad guy fires his 6 shot revolver at her at least 9 times.
16th Aug 2014
The Inbetweeners 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Neil is feeding the dolphin, a shot from behind him shows his wetsuit unzipped before he undoes it to remove the food.
16th Aug 2014
The Inbetweeners 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: The plane Will is in when he goes to catch up with the others has its undercarriage extended in one shot and hidden in the next.

General questions
I saw a trailer a few years ago for a movie that looked interesting but I've forgotten the title. All I remember is that it was vaguely steampunky and/or futuristic and a sniper seemed to play an important part (who maybe wore a mask/goggles?). Fairly sure it was live action - sorry it's so vague, but maybe it'll ring a bell for someone.
22nd May 2014
Agents of SHIELD (2013)
Coulson: I'm going to invent new ways to ruin the rest of your life. And we'll do whatever's necessary to get HYDRA intel from you, but your torture... Is going be internal.
May: And a little bit external.
Coulson: Sure, some of that.
25th Apr 2014
House of Cards (2013)
Chapter 24 - S2-E11
Other mistake: In the end credits, "Frank Underwood" is misspelled as "Frank Undwerwood."
24th Feb 2014
The Monuments Men (2014)
Factual error: The registration of the biplane Matt Damon uses to get to Paris starts with a G, showing it's registered in Great Britain, not France.
13th Feb 2014
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Trivia: The person who introduces Leonardo DiCaprio onstage at the end of the film is the real Jordan Belfort.
13th Feb 2014
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Trivia: The humming chant Matthew McConaughey does and Leonardo DiCaprio adopts is actually something McConaughey does before scenes to relax himself and clear his head. He did it before shooting the scene with DiCaprio in the restaurant, and after a few takes DiCaprio suggested that it was put in the scene, so it stayed.
