Subject: Jamaica Inn "bloopers" Author: Susan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:45:37 10/31/06 Tue In reply to: Eva Danø 's message, "Jamaica Inn, a comparison between the different versions" on 12:33:12 09/12/06 Tue Well, besides the foregoing problems with the plot, during last night's installment of my own private "insomniac theatre" I think I caught a continuity error ... When Joss is going around the room questioning everyone as to how long they've been with him, you see a shot of the whole group kind of standing in a half circle. Dandy is on the right side with his coat wide open and no shirt underneath (showing off every detail of his ribcage, hipbones, and I think you can make out the contours of some internal organs as well! ... OK even that's a little too thin for my deranged tastes!)--and there's not a tattoo on him that I can see. But then when his turn comes around and they close up on his chest (which suddenly looks like he's gained at least 20 pounds), he's *covered* with tattoos--that look like they've been drawn on with magic marker and lipstick! (And did you notice, the guy who later holds his arm across Jem's neck--an uncredited role--has a magic-marker butterfly on his forearm!) BTW, why is it that, while Jem has blood on his temple--but no bruising--from being knocked completely unconscious, he has *no* marks on his neck whatsoever from the rope? Oh, and one other difference from the book that nobody's mentioned ... in the book "Jem" is short for Jeremiah; in the movie, it's James. (Just a small point, but Joss is short for Joshua, so paired with Jeremiah they kind of sound like brothers.) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

It seemed he was dangling from that rope for quite awhile. He had just gone through a fight, then he was choked by one of the men, then hit by Joss with the tankard, then hanged! And after Mary helped him up off of the floor, he managed to get onto the roof to hide. Pretty amazing, huh? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
