Uh, did you paste in a pic for a completely different post?

There is a small caption on the picture which will draw you attention to that fake plastic shotgun. If you like it, why not own it for $36.90? It's called the "Crossman Stinger" and can be yours for that low low price!

Heh, no thanks. I tend to buy the real thing. :-)

@Screen Rant, look at the words in the picture, it's all right there.

Empty cups annoys the shit out of me as well.

I also dislike poor continuity.

Bad props and poor continuity will almost 100% snap me out of a movie and be like.. WTF?

Fure, your concern for details is what makes you an asset on a shoot and explains why you can't meet women.

Love the Zombies Zombies Zombies poster...one of my favorite one sheets I've swiped up at cons over the last year or so. As a PA I've always met a bunch of cool props people, so I can't hate and on my last show they always let me in their beer cooler at wrap, so at this moment Property is my favorite department. PROPS!

Fake props and blanks in weapons that don't allow the gun any kick have always ruined movies for me. Unless you look at a period piece and see a $100 knock off sword that looks like the cheap piece of steel it was made out of.

I whole-heartedly agree about the prop cup thing. Far too often have I witnessed the poor handling of a supoosedly full "cup-o-joe." More often than not...full styrofoam/thick paper travel cups of coffee (i.e. Starbucks, Seattle's Best, etc...) are H-O-T when you get them...so much so, that those cardboard sleeves are required (or at least a double cup)...and I don't know about you, but when I walk with a full one, there are little bubbles of hot, yummy liquid that pop out of the sipping hole.
I recently started watching the show NCIS...and coffee and "Caf-Pows" are vital plot componants. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is never without a coffee, and to "grease the wheels" of his head of forensics, Abby (played by the ever-so-beautiful Pauley Perette), he brings her a huge "Caf-Pow," which, to its credit, DOES sound like ice shifting whenever it's placed on the counter/table. The coffees, however, always seem a little light...
Annoying...

There are websites dedicated to the sale of soft-air pellet guns that are so realistic that federal law requires they have a big fat orange thing attached to the barrel. They are banned in some cities because the first thing most people do is yank off the orange tip to make it look more realistic.
These weapon duplicates started in Japan, where people were interested in guns that were totally unavailable to the common Hiro to purchase. They look real and they function in a real and convincing manner (Semi-auto pistols, for example, have slide blowback when fired and stay open after the last round). They cost around $100 a piece for decent models are have been modded on various sites to look like a good science fiction weapon.
Yeah, but I guess those modders care what it looks like.
