There are some things on TV and in movies that just make me cringe, ya know. For instance, when people are going up or down a staircase and they are gripping the banister…And the banister moves and wiggles as if the set were constructed by keebler elves with a coke habit. Another one is when people drink from cups. You can always tell when they are “fake drinking” and holding empty cups. It always comes off as way too forced. God forbid you earn some of that Hollywood money and actually have to take a real sip!

There’s nothing more annoying then badly directed fakery in a medium that should make you feel like you are watching something real.

The phenomenon is starting to get some attention too, which pleases me. All thanks to the iPhone and actors who have not a clue how to use it. First it was a scene from Bionic Woman where a CIA agent is holding it upside down. That one got some attention. I would say it’s a simple detail that should have been noticed by somebody.

Maybe Hollywood in general is having trouble with the iPhone. Check out the above photo. Yes it’s another dumb celebrity holding the iPhone upside down. In this case Charlie Sheen. And geeks everywhere are up in arms about it.

It remains to be seen how rampant this problem is, but nerds everywhere are no doubt looking through all kinds of footage to catch the next lame celebrity misusing technology.

You’d think Charlie would be hipper then that, then again look at the Sitcom purgatory he’s stuck in.
