This is an idea I had ages ago and have been tinkering with on and off for quite a while - basically a website which shows you a series of options, and you choose the "best" one. Sometimes they'll make sense against each other (Coke or Pepsi, Microsoft or Apple) other times they won't (The Beatles or Back to the Future), but the end result should be a) a list of the best to worst things ever, and b) a bit of a laugh. It's still a work in progress, but please visit http://www.rockpapereverything.com, cast some votes, submit new options, and let me know any thoughts you have on how to improve it. Thanks!

May

In the scene where May showcases her doll, Soozy, to the blind children at the day care and they subsequently knock the doll case out of May's hands (obviously shattering the glass everywhere), take a close look at the first little girl to fall into the glass on the floor. You'll notice that there is blood all over her knees before she even falls on the ground.

Iron Man 3 mistakes

Iron Man 3 mistakes

The explosion of a failed Extremis subject is so strong it vaporizes living organisms in the blast radius along with collateral damage (as shown at the Chinese Theater). In Tennessee, the site of a similar incident, it is shown that the crater of the explosion is a few feet from the corner of two walls. The walls, for some reason, were not obliterated even though the explosion was strong enough to destroy everything else.

Star Trek Into Darkness mistakes

Star Trek Into Darkness mistakes

The movie takes place in the year 2259. Every reference to Khan's hibernation stated that he was frozen for "300 years", which would mean that genetically engineered superhumans were created in the year 1959. Naturally, there's some leeway when someone refers to "300 years" but even setting the threshold to 250 results in the year 2009. It would have been more convincing if they had set it at "200" or "over 200 years".

Skyfall mistakes

Skyfall mistakes

During Bond's fight with Patrice in the Shanghai high-rise, Patrice's sniper rifle fires several times, presumably by accident. However, moments earlier, when Patrice assassinates his target in the neighboring building, the rifle is shown to be bolt-action. A bolt-action rifle can't be fired more than once without manually loading the next round.

Jack Reacher mistakes

Jack Reacher mistakes

When Jack reverses aggressively out of the motel carpark onto the road, he steers the car to his left and drives down the road. Note that there are no visible tyre marks left by Jack's car as he drives away. In the next shot, the police cars exit the carpark sliding out onto the road to their right, following tyre marks which are already on the road. The tyre marks on the road are likely from a prior take.
