"Eagle-eyed" ? I never knew eagles were such tiresome bores.

Oh for fucks sake. There was also a Carl's Jr with a modern logo that could not miss at the end of the film.

Doesn't this just belong under the "goofs" on IMDB?

I wonder how this person missed the Chocodile display at the train station in "There Will Be Blood." Talk about anachronisms!

AH! There are a ton on IMDB - [www.imdb.com]

Or how Robbie and Celia meet at a Pinkberry for a teary farewell in "Atonement."

One of the few benefits of growing older is that shit like noticing anachronisms in movies just doesn't seem quite so important.

Besides, there will never be a movie that so perfectly captured the look of its era like 'The Last Picture Show' so everything else is sloppy by comparison.

However, in 'Shampoo' a Jefferson Airplane song was played during the close-to-the-end bacchanal party that was totally an anachronism because it was a live recording that didn't come out until 1969 and the party was taking place in the summer or fall (can't remember which) of 1968.

So there.

@Sweet Panda Love: That's the farewell meeting they arranged by texting each other, right?

How about that weird scene in ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE where she and her courtesans curl up with a Whitman's sampler and an episode of "Gossip Girl"?

I guess Ben Hur should return all its Oscars because of that soldier wearing a wristwatch, huh?

Or when Plainview, just after kicking Sunday's ass in the mud, hissed, "I'm taking you out of my Top 8!"

I bet Casey Affleck didn't win the Oscar because of that scene where his character stopped to eat an entire bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

Was I the only person who didn't realize this was set in the 80s until after I saw it and someone told me?

It was a good movie. Like it matters what decade you're in in west texas. I mean shit, that place hasn't changed in 60 years.

I've always been an Oberto's man, myself.

Little known temporal/spatial anomaly: beef jerky's shelf-life extends indefinitely into the past as well as the future. Just like Twinkies and Spam.

@aspiringexpatriate: In that infamous coin toss scene, Bardem looks at the quarter and says something like "1958. This coin traveled 25 years to get here." The era's really murky until then.

Why do you think HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE wasn't nominated??

@Sleepyhead: I agree. I left the movie wondering how in the world Josh Brolin's character was in Vietnam? That's when the BF told me it was set in the 80's. There's no real way to tell since, as it's been said, West Texas fashion hasn't changed in 30 years... neither have their cars.

Ya can't hate a brother (Coen) for loving himself some jerky. You better believe I'll be giving some shout-out's to my fave foods in my features. You'll know it's me when you see the giant Honest Tea float subtly pass by a suburban window in the b.g. (That shit's just a tad sweet, you know)

Well then, that haircut doesn't seem so out of place. What's Bardem bitching about? At least he didn't have to wear Zany Zappers.

There hasn't been a beef jerky stink like this in the movies since 1983's "Trading Places".

So, since there's beef jerky from the nineties in one scene set in the eighties, the Oscar should be given to There Will Be Blood? And since Scott Rudin is a producer on both movies, would he be forced to give up the award to himself?

That blogger is an idiot. They should rescind Oscars because whatever movie is a piece of shit. Then Traffic would have one, along with Brokeback, and whatever other movie was up against Around The World In 80 Days.

Also, Goodfellas.

if it's any consolation, my neurosurgeon little brother said that bardem's cattle braining gadget didn't go in deep enough to actually kill a human. apparently it went in just deep enough to make someone really, really stupid.

@the.munson: Remember when lobotomies were all the rage? Good times.

I'd like to jerk the beefy out of you.

@Sleepyhead: Wait..I thought he said "12" years?! Damn foreign peoples no speakey language good..

One of them is married to Francis McDormand. A dried beef strip is like a cup cake to them.

Well - we could all start in on Juno - but considering it has difficulty placing itself in history... I'll just go lie down...

@Miss d: Don't tempt me!

@gwendemarco: No kidding. LOL.

@gwendemarco: If we were giving awards, this would win for best comment of the week.

If?

@Sleepyhead: There was also the ol' granny's dated gravestone...

@OldTowneTavern: Or a Member's Only jacket. Heck - on second thought, that coulda been a dead giveaway.
