This 'Last of Us' Editing Mistake Is Going Viral

HBO is at it again, folks. In the past, the channel has accidentally left everything from crew members to coffee cups in final cuts of its shows. Now, history has repeated itself in HBO’s latest hit series, The Last of Us. A fan spotted the mistake in Episode Six, when Joel and Ellie travel to Jackson, Wyoming. One scene displays an overhead view of the snowy terrain, and—if you look closely—you can spot two cameramen standing in the shot. After the episode aired, Neil Druckmann, who wrote and directed The Last of Us video game franchise, tweeted about a certain spoiler-y moment from the show trending on Twitter. Then, a clever fan responded to point out the editing error. “Brilliant episode,” they wrote alongside a screenshot of the scene. “Something you might want to fix and reupload though. You can see the film crew in this shot.”   [View in Browser]( [Esquire]( [SHOP]( EXCLUSIVE [SUBSCRIBE]( ['The Last of Us' Fans Are Having Fun With This Episode 6 Editing Mistake]( ['The Last of Us' Fans Are Having Fun With This Episode 6 Editing Mistake]( HBO is at it again, folks.

The book’s scope is vast: readers are privy to the machinations that help to consolidate Austria and Hungary, as well as the North German Confederation, setting the stage for the wars of the following century. Great artists also make up the cast: Ludwig was in close contact with composer Richard Wagner, whom he called his “Great Friend,” and sculptress Elisabeth Ney and painter Franz Winterhalter also make appearances. To mark the release of Jemc’s latest novel, Esquire sat down with the author to talk about Ludwig and Elisabeth’s queer credentials, the stranger-than-fiction absurdities of their lives, and the small mercies of an alternative ending.

Hundreds? Thousands? The doorstop-thickness of his essential anthology, I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie offers a hint at the sheer massiveness of the number. It’s 406 pages long—and according to Ebert, it merely represented the tip of the iceberg. Still, even the most masochistic movie reviewer can have his or her limit. And in February of 1979, Ebert met his. A film that was so inept and god-awful he had to get up and walk out of the theater. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bob Guccione’s big-budget Ancient Rome porn extravaganza, Caligula.
