welcome newb

This is not about continuity errors, this is about how a scene is staged so that an audience can understand what's going on. Interestingly enough, the debate is raging online with several people who work in the industry such as Joseph Kahn: http://josephkahn.blogspot.com/2011/09/analyzing-action.html

I for one enjoyed the film, but did notice at least some of his points to be true when I first watched it.

Finding continuity errors in movies is like shooting fish in a barrel. The Goofs section of just about any movie at imdb.com is full of countless continuity errors, both small and blatant, especially in chase scenes. I can't imagine this movie stands out as any worse than the rest.
But some newb taking Editing 101 might find this as insightful as Jim Emerson does.

I believe dupeof invokes were originally diamond level only (and above). Then enough people made a fuss that they couldn't use it that it was changed.

At least that's how I remember it. Could be completely wrong.

Isn't the ability to call a dupe limited to Gold Stars and above? I would expect that these people should know better than to do so out of sheer laziness. lucky760 mentioned that people who do so have that privelage revoked so it seems that the admins are aware of this being a problem.
It's awesome that a discussion like this has resulted in an open, thoughtful conversation and has resulted proposed solution. A lot of people will just get frustrated and say "Fix It!!". It's just nice to see people helping themselves. I work in IS...can't you tell. ;-)
That being said, I would hesitate to turn to a code change as a solution. Could this problem not be solved by other means?
Maybe the admins change permissions to allow only higher levels call a dupe? This means fewer people have the ability, thus fewer occurances of this happening. Perhaps writting a overview/tutorial for members when they are promoted so they truely understand the responsibilities? I like the idea of invoking the discussion as it will get more eyes on the problem. Of course these ideas don't prevent the accidental use of the privilege.
These are just my thoughts. I am still a newb here so please bare with me if I am not understanding the problem.

I also think that instead of calling it *notadupe, we should call it *notafinga.

Sorry...I couldn't resist.

psh. newbs.

I knew that months ago. Learn how to use the interwebs, old man!

How easily I was trolled as a VS newb?

no I was completely dead serious. she absolutely deserves to be raped because of that slutty slutty slut shirt. come on. jeez, spelling out dark sarcasm kindof, you know, uhhhm kills it.

I agree I wouldn't have messed with the cop then unless it became life threatening/permanently damaging to the victim. The best thing would be to film things like this and get the cop in as much trouble as possible - that way you would not have ended up being arrested where your credibility goes down and any videos if already filmed will most likely be deleted before they see the light of day.

I disagree. If there's one thing the Internet has taught me, it's that you don't fuck with US police. And you don't fuck with US military people. And you definitely don't fuck with the US foreign service nor any other branch of US government. Simply put; you don't fucking fuck with any authority figure remotely related to the US. If you do, you're fucked, and they will fuck you over till you die. So don't.
>> ^BoneRemake:

That was my intention to responde to entirly since the video started. That twat in the back lights up a cigarret and the other just stands there and vaugly looks the other way periodically..
Badge or no badge... well I mean completely in that situation, so formal garments and badge alike, I would of went after the cop after the baton came out. That is not right and thats that. The people in the vehicle saying to be quiet.. Just a pathetic bunch of newbs. A badge does not give you the right to beat a person.

You newbs better get on the stick.

Haha, yep, you got me -- I didn't even bother checking that one. Maybe it's time to turn in my sifting gun and badge.

I can understand a fresh-faced newb not searching for dupes before posting. But you, Sarz? You've not only let the community down but you've let yourself down, old boy.
