I was reading through those the other day, for several movies, and there 
are some 'mistakes' that you would only be able to see my going though the 
movies a few frames at a time. Some of them are so tiny you wonder how they 
matter. There's a difference between glaring error that disrupts movie 
continuity, and things like matching dirt smudges at the beginning and the 
end of a movie (that one was in the LotR list!)
