Blunderwear

I guess today is a day for staring at good looking menfolk's semi-exposed underpants. I mean obviously every day that's a pleasure when given the chance, but today it's turning into a specific focus. Earlier we did it with Ryan Gosling, and then as I was scanning through Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds for our "Five Frames From" post I was reminded of this, the most egregious example of a continuity error ever commited to celluloid.


These two shots are separated by a single edit, and as you can see Justin Chatwin is wearing completely different underwear from one second to the other. First red, then gray. This has always driven me so crazy! So... I'm glad I could get it off my chest here. Shame on you, Steven Spielberg! From now on you should hire someone whose specific purpose is to make sure actors are wearing the right underwear from shot to shot. I am willing to offer up my services, by the way.
