A six-panel SMBC comic. Two people sit on a couch watching a screen. The first complains the movie is wildly inaccurate because the planes shouldn't exist in that time period; the other agrees. Over the next panels, instead of normal movie nitpicks, they list increasingly absurd literal observations about the medium itself: that the characters and setting are just a series of two-dimensional still images rather than continuous movement through space-time; that the dialog comes from a pair of speakers, not the characters' vocal folds; that a character's legs vanished and he became gigantic; and that everyone is suddenly tiny with no one remarking on it. In the final panel one says "Point taken. Please stop," while a shadowy silhouette figure in a doorway escalates further, declaring the people on screen are made of crystals that he could compress, calling them "crystal people." The joke escalates pedantic media literalism to an absurd extreme. Votey (bonus panel): a scrawled handwritten note that reads "Things on screen aren't... aren't... LIES!" with a crudely drawn face beneath it.
