I think I read someone was was adding weight to the cups to make it less obvious. This is one of those things I only thought took up space in my head.😅
I don't understand how no one seems to be able to act with an empty coffee cup, it drives me mad!
Just put cold water in it if it's that hard?
(I myself would probably also suck if someone asked me to do this)
My hubby recognises the make and sometimes model of every washing machine in a kitchen on telly, but doesn’t notice when I change the colour of my hair lol
Worse is the Hallmark channel "prop festive cocoa drink" cup that the actors pretend to sip but the cocoa level never goes down and the whipped cream never melts.
oh that opening scene in Deadpool & Wolverine must have had you twitching. ps, i have the mugs on my site if anyone want to get you one for the holidays 🤣
The other day I pointed out to my friend that a shot in a movie was supposed to be dusk, but the placement of the sun meant it was obviously dawn. Now I keep seeing it. 😩
Similar problem - I should have been a continuity director. I am forever noticing on set beverages that change liquid levels, without being drank from or filled. Or hair that is wildly different in the same short scene; eg tucked behind ear, not tucked behind ear.
Yes! I end up missing the plot unless I meditate first. I spent a decent amount of my childhood on the 20th century Fox lot. Don't feel sorry for me, though, I wasn't a child actor! Ever heard of a crooked merkin? 🤣
It ruins the whole scene. Put something in the cup! I would rather it be overly heavy than too light. Fill it with lead. Let me see you struggle to lift it. (I’m so glad you share this neurosis!)
It doesn't even have to be liquid, if there's a spill concern, it would be sand or rocks, it just has to be full of something. It's so distracting. That and someone waking up in bed with a glossy lipstick on, why was that the choice?

Least they can do is fill it with SOME kind of liquid. And empty suit cases? Ug
