For that matter, I get a kick out of when, in the movies, they shoot
somewhere other than where the setting of the story is, and choose a
locale that bears no resemblance.

OMG, the worst case of that I've seen was the chick flick "Message in
a Bottle". I don't even know if it's a good movie, because I was so
distracted by the obviously wrong setting. The movie was supposedly
North Carolina, but it was clearly shot somewhere (Maine, I think)
with 10-15 foot tides and rocky shoreline. Everytime there was harbor
scene, it was all I could do to not yell "bull****".

I disagree. Have you seen "Star Wars?" They keep calling what is
obviously just the 3rd moon of Venutia "Plutonia"...oh, sure, I tried to
have a suspension of disbelief, but I confess I felt a little sorry for
how hard it must have been for Plutonians in the audience...

If I'm at a chick flick, it's with a chick, and I'd offer that unless
she is a film student (and there's a good chance even if she is),
pointing out locale and continuity errors ain't the sweet nothings you
ought to be whispering...
