It was a fairly minor case with a single charge of assault.
It was a brawl that ended with only one of the people involved getting charged.

Objection was called out only twice during the case and it was a lot less forceful than on TV, but then it wasnt the most emotion driven of cases.

We actually failed to render a verdict as we were split almost down the middle on our decision.

What was the case, or do you get hunted down by men with big dogs for revealing such information? Did anyone object? My nearly-lawyer friend tells me that objections are a good deal less forceful in real trials, with a lot of hmming and “May it please the court” and considerably less finger-pointing than in, say, Boston Legal. Which is pretty much the only lawyery show I’ve seen. I’d quite like to do jury duty, but the pig is a problem.

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

I had jury duty recently and I found the process to be more interesting than I expected. While the whole thing was FAR more tedious with the back and forth and covering the details multiple times, it wasn’t entirely different from the expectations built by television.

I thought about autism but couldn’t come up with too many genuinely bad moments. Snowcake was OK; Rain Man was OK if you remember he was supposed to be a savant and that it wasn’t the film’s fault everyone subsequently equated autistic with autistic savant because the film was popular. “Hands” from Boston Legal was a bit odd, but not atrocious… the only really dodgy one I can think of is Change of Habit, and that’s orsm. What else?

I imagine that people in the law profession tend to suffer from the burden of too much information as their field is one that comes up fairly often in both television and movies.

And terrible depictions of massage–Phoebe from Friends is the absolute worst, but I don’t think I’m supposed to get uptight about that.

I do recall being very impressed that the puppets in The Corpse Bride used correct fingering in the piano-playing scenes; a very nice touch! I suppose singing and dancing are two other peeves for those in such lines - all the obvious cutaways to closeups of feet, for instance. Strictly Ballroom had a few of those, but enough full-length shots to make it more or less acceptable.

I find actors miming with a musical instrument to be particularly painful, though some manage quite well.
Honourable mentions: Geoffrey Rush in Shine and Emily Watson in Hilary and Jackie (apparently she had learnt the cello when younger).
Cringe-worthy mentions: Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany on violin and cello respectively in Master and Commander.
