Didja ever notice in movies:

[dixiegrrrrl]

in a cowboy movie, bunch of guys are riding in the middle of nowhere, say, in a posse, and one or more is killed.
When the subsequent burial scene is shown, with the make shift cross and the mound of dirt,
sometimes you will see a shovel standing next to the grave.

remember those scenes?
My question is....who rode along with a shovel?

[Scuba]

1. Gabby Hayes, Festus Hagan, Pancho, and all the other sidekicks.

[NV Whino]

2. It's probably the transformer Winchester they all carried

3. Saddle-bags are a lot roomier than we suppose, I guess

I just watched the new True Grit, and the big wooden bucket totally threw me - I had to rewind that whole river scene because I was completely distracted by thinking "where the fuck did she get that bucket!?"

9. What got me about that new True Grit

was she got snake bit on her RIGHT hand but in the closing credits, her arm was gone on the other side.

Maybe that is why they used to call snakes "sidewinders"?????

4. My "Phantom Of The Opera" question.

In the Musical version I noticed that the sewers under the streets of Paris are always lit with thousands of candles. This guy lives alone down there. Who lights the thousands of frickin candles??!

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. And how did he keep his living alone a secret with 1,000 of candles????

6. Cowboy goes to a saloon. Pays for his drink(s).

Have you ever seen a cowboy get change back? Even once?

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. Now that you mention it....

No.

8. Esp. as seen in Law and Order

The telephone rings, one of the main characters picks it up, listens for about 4 seconds, hangs up
and then delivers the phone message to another character.
Said repeated message is usually much longer than 4 seconds, minimum.

and, the guy who answers the phone, never says anything except "thank you"
no " oh, wow, they did? they really found the body?"

10. it's a curse

i catch inconsistencies all the time in movies.

how did the glass get fuller later in the scene than it was when the scene started? that kind of stuff
