movie mistakes

I think its pretty funny what some people figure out. How people sit and watch movies so many times that they see these things i couldn't understand. But never the less the web site is cool knowing that movies you saw have those mistakes. So now next time i watch those movies i will be looking for those things.

A Girl’s Nude Photo, and Altered Lives

I think that it is unfortunate with what happened to this girl. From a simple picture her life got out of control. The amount of kids that saw that picture would be hard. But i do think that the fact that this is middle school is crazy. The kids are so young and everything. Sexting in 8th grade is crazy. Also i didnt know middle schoolers could be arrested. I would think they would get susupended or something, but not arrested.

cool stuff about vid

I liked the fact the the mechanical workers had to do palates. The camera shots they used were not shocking ones but of ones of the workers doing work, then doing palates. They used car mats as their working put mats and it was an interesting story.
