Someone had better tell Darren Aronofsky that his upcoming movie, "Caught Stealing," which is set in 1998, should not have two characters walking in front of Citi Field, which opened in 2009. It doesn't come out until August so I suppose there's still time to CGI-in Shea Stadium somehow. - ThreadSky

If they change it, watch the Mets season fall apart.

Jane’s Addiction ftw

Vanity Fair has a thing about it. The anachronism aside, it sounds pretty good. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/caught-stealing-first-look

There was no W train in the 90s either. I've now seen two photos from this film, and they're both off.

The books by Charlie Huston (Caught Stealing is 1 of a trilogy) are outstanding, so I'm cautiously optimistic even though the pic you shared looks like they ripped off Penelope Spheeris's poster for DUDES

Is these a sequel to SLC Punk cause the dude on the left looks like an older Heroin Bob.

Matt Smith has experience as a time traveler, so maybe there's an in-story explanation.

A movie title that will start a song in my head every time. See also A Complete Unknown.

Given the prominence of the Citi logo in the shot, it surely came down to "should we be historically accurate or should we take this giant check Citi is offering to put their stadium in the background?"

hey, I was angry enough when I was in the theater for The Rookie and they showed him walking into the clubhouse for the first time, but the wrong era of Devil Rays jerseys ended up in the film

what's a crust punk doing in queens

imnotahrhitter.bsky.social•27 days ago

Especially in that area of Queens.

Or hanging out with an ex-baseball player, which is Butler's character

I have a mohawk now. Mohawks are cool.

You may not like it, but this is what peak 1998 fashion looks like.

Based on the Straight Outta Compton White Sox hat error, I'm assuming the studios don't care enough to appease us pedantic assholes.

philipmichaels.bsky.social•27 days ago

Just splice in some footage from The Ruttles

Gary Busey portraying Buddy Holly, who died in 1959.

Little problem… Fender Stratocasters with that neck wood/headstock combo were not available until the late 60’s.

The source material is a top notch crime fiction trilogy. Unputdownable if that's your thing.

tinybronto.bsky.social•27 days ago

ty, this is exactly what I need

tinybronto.bsky.social•27 days ago

omg it's about baseball

m-shack.bsky.social•27 days ago

Haha it's sooooo good. Charlie Huston's entire catalogue is straight gas.

thewalkingjohn.bsky.social•27 days ago

So it’s a baseball movie?

craigcalcaterra.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's a crime movie with the main character being an ex-baseball player.

infieldflygrl.online•27 days ago

So they definitely have no excuse for not knowing ball

craigcalcaterra.bsky.social•27 days ago

Right? Per an SFGate article Butler's character is a big SF Giants fan and his apartment has a bunch of Giants stuff in it. They checked and the filmmakers went so far as to get a little 1998 promotional calendar right, so it's not like they didn't care!

elidelajandro.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ugh. Aronofsky...

Who keeps giving him money to be prententious and preachy?!?

What if...Wes Anderson was actively trying to make you feel bad about yourself?!?
