       What do you think Hollywood does badly? I used to play a lot of chess and run a club. Hollywood does chess badly. It's always a game where someone confidently makes a move, then the other plays smugly moves and says CHECKMATE. A real player would not likely miss a mate-in-1.

       @letthewatersroar Yeah. I wrote a lengthy post about Halt & Catch & Catch Fire on a forum about that very thing, but Mr. Robot has done the best so far.

       @Ricardus Aviation!!  Did you see Sully? How does he talk to ATC with no mic or no headset? He swings from talking with first officer, straight to ATC as if they are in the cockpit listening to it all.IIRC correctly he doesn't use aviation radio procedure either, even before the birdstrike.Also, don't get me started on martial arts or any kind of fighting.Or poker!  Players making crazy plays with apparently some kind of superhuman knowledge of the outcome.

       @Stringbender I haven't seen Sully yet, but really? They missed something as obvious as crew wearing headsets?

       @Ricardus Fraid so yes.  So jet crews don't wear big noise protecting headsets, but they could have put on the little call centre like sets that are normal in airliners, to make it realistic.Still a decent movie though.

       @Stringbender I'll see it one of these days. I like Tom Hanks.
