You know, G hates to watch movies that involve archaeology or anthropological themes because I'll sit there correcting the mistakes out loud or sighing loudly and shaking my head.
I love Indiana Jones for the entertainment value of the films, but that is so *not* what archaeology is all about. But for Harrison Ford I'm willing to suspend belief. :)
archaeology or anthropological .... I'll sit there correcting the mistakes....
I get like that about musicians on screen &ndash "(S)He's not playing that [whatever]. Why can't they hire real musicians to be the extras playing instruments, instead of actors who don't have a clue? We can tell the difference, you know!"
Yup, G (my partner, I think you met him at Baitcon) is like that about musicians too. He'll point out "see he's not really making that chord, he's faking it!"
Like him, when I do it in an archaeology context, I nod my head and say "yes dear." :)
