Saying "Oh eight hundred hours" instead of "Zero eight hundred" and other such things when talking about time. Non-rates, strikers, petty officers, chief petty officers, and zeroes all together in uniform in the same bar, some of the enlisted even wearing dungarees.
Some years ago I saw a movie or TV episode where a female sailor was in uniform, with her hair hanging halfway down her back. I couldn't even pay attention to what was happening in the scene. All I could do was look at her hair.

I watched Band of brothers (again) the other day on Hbo signtr that's a great mini series IMO, but.... in private Blyte scene, the fox hole is a huge perfect rounded hole, just like a machine dig that up....

the red tails.... yes its bad cgi and the lack of sence of grafity with the plane in that movie, makes it wierd... my DCS game mustang skin, handling (maybe) are more realistic than that...lol.
My opinion about zombies movies......the only Zombies movie that i really likes are Zombieland.

but i tried to enjoying every movies that i watched...

I generally go through a ritual before going out to the movies. I try to get hold of every bad review, then I am pleasantly surprised that it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be

My biggest problem with Battleship was the USS Missouri. The old salts said she didn't have much fuel in her bunkers, only enough for maintenance runs. Why would she have ANY fuel in her bunkers? Do museum ships do maintenance runs? And why would she have any live rounds? Maybe I'm wrong, If anyone knows better, feel free to correct me. I thought a battleship's big guns used a series of gunpowder bags rammed in the breech end to fire the round. Those guys carried a round like it was a big bullet, put it in and pull the trigger. Any museum displays would be inert.

How about how a spitfire can blow up the cockpit section of an HE111 with just a single burst of fire from its guns? (Pearl Harbor)
Or prop driven aircraft shooting straight up indefinitely without signs of stalling, as if they were UFOs? (Pearl Harbor)

I guess they just did that to make it more entertaining.
If they made it realistic, the audience would need to sit through a couple of minutes while the spitfire emptied its amo on the HE111's fuselage before it crashed. (Or get lucky hits on both engines)

Maybe he got lucky and hit the box of grenades the navigator was secretly smuggling to his girlfriend.

How about the movie Memphisbelle? A total pice of crap, yet entertaining for the flying scenes. Perhaps Ms Wyler should have watched her father's film before creating her POS. Black Sheep Squadron was another pile of garbage as well. I read the book over and over as a kid in the 60s along with most of the other autobiographies written by the pilots from the "Great war". Lets face it, as sucky as war may be, the movies about the wars are super sucky.

Or how in the first Star Trek movie J.J. Abrams did, the Captain decides to go over to the Romulan ship to talk to the Romulan captain. He takes a turbolift to the shuttlebay. Cut to a scene of the turbolift shaft in the shuttlebay where the turbolift is coming down the shaft to deposit the Capt. in the bay. The problem here is that the shuttlebay on the Kelvin is at the top of the ship. So, the turbolift should come up through the floor. I guess it was deemed more dramatic the way they did it. Still irks me...
