Up in the Air had a rough Oscar night: getting shut out, a drunken lead actor, and losing Best Adapted Screenplay. Not to pour salt on the wound, but here's a collection of some continuity errors in Jason Reitman's film.

If you're wondering just how far the nearly insolvent ex-mogul Harvey Weinstein has fallen, here's a handy metric: He can't even stop a Canadian filmmaker from making an unauthorized documentary about what a gargantuan dick he is. A Canadian!
He's got the hair, the wild demeanor, and raves about the future. Sometimes nerds don't grow out of being nerds, but marinate in their nerdiness and grow up to be SUPER NERDS!
