re: #318 Pass The Moonbaticide


LoL, do you ever watch a TV series called ‘Cold Case’ ?
It’s set in Philadelphia. I was curious whether you watch it to see familiar landmarks, etc.

I have a tough time watching things that are filmed here in Las Vegas, unless they’re very careful in their shooting (CSI does a fairly good job).

Rain Man has to be the worst offender. In one scene, they’re driving down the strip, but some of the casinos they pass are on the east side of the strip, and others on the west side, yet the scene implies that they never make a single u-turn, much less the 5 or so that would be required.

It gets even worse when they win at Caesar’s Palace (made abundantly clear by the close-up shots of the cards and the card table), and are comped a room. The view outside their room shows a Caesar’s Palace sign, but from an angle you’d only get from staying in Harrah’s or the Flamingo!
