Where is that thread that asked for things you've seen in movies that were implausible or irked you?

I paraphrase.

I just thought of one. Post apocalyptic movies and zombie movies. Why is it that grocery stores are always depicted as if the stock boys just left right before the camera started rolling? Some of the more intelligent set designers think to keep the shelves looking ransacked. But the truth is, that a grocery store would start to stink up a storm within a day, and would be unbearable after a week when the meat began to rot. Anyone who walked in would be having trouble keeping his lunch down from the reeking smell. Not to mention the fight they would have with the roaches and rats who weren't too concerned about zombies.

It starts out as a Dodge, but when it misses the turn, it is a LeMans and it goes into the creek backward (where the guy who is fishing has to jump). That was just too obvious of an error. Also, they fucked up a bunch of 68 Galaxie interceptors blocking the gate to the truck rally. That just pissed me off because I own one. And only one helicopter? Couldn't they have figured out they needed one earlier in the game? I didn't mind all of the 76 LeMans cruisers getting destroyed - I took my drivers test in one. We called it the LeMon. Parallel parking was fun - sort of a square peg in a round hole sort of ordeal.

The aliens were using Windows 98 to run their computer system, so it was no problem to send them a virus through an unsecured wireless network.
