Movie train not right - among other things...

I find little things like trains from the improper era funny, etc., but come on guys, it doesn't matter.<br><br>I've been playing the drums since I was a kid. In movies and TV shows, I often see drums that I know didn't exist until, say, 1990, in a movie based in the 70's, 50's, etc. This happens all the time.<br><br>So what should a movie producer / director do? Should they shoot every film on location, with 100% equipment from the proper era?<br><br>Lyp syncing / voice overs, etc. are so common, it's nuts. If I gut upset about that every time I saw it, I wouldn't be able to watch a single movie.<br><br><br>I had a film class in college (being an engineer, this was a just-for-fun elective). I learned a lot of interesting stuff about how clips are cut together, etc. We watched some very classic movies that had tons of editing blunders. Guess what, they don't matter! (But they are fun to spot).<br><br>It's like if you were presenting something in a conversation in the workplace, etc., and someone pointed out all of your bad grammar. Perfect grammar is nice, but it was likely beside the point, and had little to nothing to do with the overall outcome of your presentation.<br><br>
