Armed with the knowledge that most of the trivia added to IMDB is only from the biggest of nerds, I decided to go see what minute details people have picked out about Episode II: Attack of the Clones. We’re talking about ultra-comic-store-guy nerds who pick on the stupidest things.
Why am I so bitter? It probably has something to do with the fact that they’ll pick the smallest and most excusable inconsistancies from people with nothing better to do than find these details, but IMDB won’t add the stuff that I’ve submitted about Jurassic Park or The Saint (stupid &$%&#ers).
Anyway, here’s my favourite entry from the “Goofs” list on IMDB’s Episode II page:
- When Obi Wan sends the message for help to Anakin and Amidala, Amidala presses a red button in order to transmit the message to the Jedi council. A minute later she presses the same red button in order to view a map of a galaxy, without first doing anything which might be expected to change the function of the button.
Now say this next part in your best Comic Store Guy voice:
“Are we to believe that this is some *magical button* that can do anything the user desires?”
pffehh!!… nerds.
