So watching World War Z today, I heard a comment there that I found completely stupid.
This is the scene:
Now there are plenty more movies that I could get into with similar nits that I could pick. I'm looking for other people's nitpicking of movies, especially based on things that you know just aren't real, likely, feasible, etc.

There is a huge problem with this explanation. The number of people on the ship would in no way affect whether the water tasted like jet fuel. The only reason that the water would taste like jet fuel is if they were riding high (less weight), drawing in shallow water after a jet fuel leak while staying in that area or they had a jet fuel leak coming out right at the point where the intake for the DUs were. (It would only take one, but that would be noticed and a problem.) Our "Desal"s (they're called distilling units on a carrier) don't do what they suggest here at all. And number of people on the ship would only affect the amount of water available, not whether it tasted like jet fuel.{On ship, in mess hall, getting food}
Daughter to Mother: Water here tastes funny.
Navy #1: It's jet fuel, young lady.
Mother: He's joking.
Navy #2: I wish; Desal has trouble filtering it out, probably because there's too many people on this ship.
