The "continuity problems" are legion, but virtually all of them are just screw-ups where no one noticed that the cup was still on the table after the break between "CUT!" and the "Back to one!" call. IT happens All The Time. Usually they're just lucky that the cup is deep background, and that frankly, very, very few people notice it on the first viewing. Just like you don't notice your own written screw-ups until the editor points it out to you... or worse yet, a reader does after they plunked down hard cash for your book. <br /><br />Anyway, as our Host here suggests, shit happens on sets, it just mostly doesn't make it to the final cut, or else no one cares/notices when they do see it.<br /><br />Light DragoonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-25048509523632724932019-05-10T04:05:43.147-07:002019-05-10T04:05:43.147-07:00It was ostensibly a comedy.It was ostensibly a comedy.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-6961600642375913152019-05-09T18:38:30.786-07:002019-05-09T18:38:30.786-07:00Can you at least tell us the name of the movie (wi...Can you at least tell us the name of the movie (with the moose head)?
