WHY??????

So I've heard nothing but good about the Music With Lyrics movie... well actually just the PoP goes my heart video. So I watched it and enjoyed it... but something stuck in my craw:

The video purports to be from 1984. Hugh is playing a Roland D-50 in the video. The D-50 was released in 1987. A more accurate keyboard would have been a Jupiter 8 or Prophet 5.

WHY do they not do this sort of VERY BASIC checking? It drives me nuts.

expertise can torture you - so.... one of the flaws in "Once" is that the street musician in Dublin has an acoustic guitar that has such a large hole in it that one doubts the resonance of his music could come from it - it ruined the show for someone I know. most folks don't bother and thus aren't bothered. odd, isn't it - when and how it comes down to the details?

I'm officially putting myself out there: Hollywood, if you're going to put a synthesizer into a period piece, PLEASE run it by me first. I'll help you avoid embarrassing incidents.

Let my curse be your blessing.
