I never noticed that one, but I'm not surprised. This movie has more goof(y)s in it than Disney World.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

I found a goof in Halloween II. When Hunt calls for backup at the Myers house he states the address as 45 Lampkin Lane, but the address on the house is 709. Oh snap.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

I don't know what the address is, so no goof there.

So if you didn't know that robbing a bank was a crime would that mean they would let you off the hook if you were arrested for doing it? Being ignorant of something doesn't make it go away. Its a goof and any amount of jive you want to throw at it doesn't make it not so.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Sure it does. Here's a quote for you: "What you don't know, can't hurt you." And jive? What is this Good Times? Go back to the 70's.

Yes I've heard it, and while we're throwing out quotes I've got one for you.

"Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pidgeon. It'll just knock over all the pieces, sh!t on the board, and strut about like it's won anyway."

This quote perfectly sums up our discussions here.

I repeat. Being ignorant of something doesn't make it disappear. A flub is a flub is a flub. You seem to be fixated on the wrench scene. I'm quite positive if someone used the "I never look at the wrench so no goof there" argument with you you'd have none of it, right? So why try to pull it with others?

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Hey! That's offensive, sir! I am not an idiot. And who would play chess with a bird anyway? That's dumb.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

I provided a discrepancy about an address and your response was to say it wasn't a goof because you didn't know the correct address. Why would I think you're playing with a full deck when you say this? Its almost as if you feel that this obvious goof should be wiped because you don't know the address.

Get offended all you want. I'm just, as you say it, speaking my mind. Calling a spade a spade as you put it. If you don't like it quit making stupid comments.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

You're stupid. The address isn't known. Is it uttered on screen, or even shown on-screen?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

Are you paying attention? Hunt called for backup to 45 Lampkin Lane when people were rioting at the house. When it shows the scene where the rock goes through the window and the cop us up on the roof of the porch the camera pans over and you see 709 on the house. Call me stupid all you want. Its a flub.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

I never noticed a 709. I'll look for it next time.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

Its there. Its comparable to the wrench in the original.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Absolutel not. The wrench is blatant.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

How can you say that as fact when you haven't even seen what I'm talking about? Can't be anymore blatant than this.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Isn't that the whole point?! I haven't seen what you're talking about, so obviously it's not as blatant as the wrench, which is obvious to Stevie Wonder. And I couldn't tell in that picture. It was blurry when I zoomed in. Couldn't make out the number. Sorry.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

No. The whole point is I've seen both so I made the comment that it's comparable to the wrench. You, who admitted that you haven't seen what I'm talking about, made the claim, "absolutely not!" How can you say that? You haven't seen it!

I admit the pic isnt the best but you can see it clearer in the movie. Its a flub.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

If I haven't seen it it's not an issue!!! A duh! I've seen the 🔧. It's obvious. That's the difference.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

A duh? Are you a 12 year old girl?

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that the issue isn't there. Why is this so hard for you to digest? My point is, and I don't know why I'm wasting my time trying to get you to understand this because it's just going to fly over your head again as I've already told you this twice. I made a claim that the two are comparable. You said it wasn't, but you also admitted to not seeing the address on the porch in the scene I was talking about. So you can't say that they're not comparable because you've never seen it. Get it??????????????

Out of sight out of mind. What you don't know can't hurt you, and any the sayings you want to use. Why is it so hard for you to digest? No problem exists, if I can't, won't, don't see said problem. It only becomes a problem once I see it. If I see it. Understand?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

I understand what you're saying. I can digest it just fine. I just know that its more convoluted thinking on your part to get out of admitting that your movie has another mistake to add to its list, because we all know that if it were this movie you'd be tripping over yourself to say how much it bothers you.

The proof is in this very thread. The OP brought up a goof in this movie. Your response is "I've never noticed it, but I'm not surprised."

I bring up a goof in your movie and your response is, "I've never noticed it, so its not a flub at all."

You're becoming a joke.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

At least I'm consistent.

5 minutes of my life I won't get back reading this argument

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

I'll say. Leo likes to argue with me. Don't think he ever agreed with me.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Leo_Rossi 7 years ago

When you stop spewing garbage I will agree with you.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

I never have..... spewed garbage? Interesting turn of phrase.
