At the end of the trailer for "Marine" that Gene edits, "Marine"'s release date is written with both the month and day written as digits, with a dot between them. That's how release dates are written in Japan, but it's not how they are written in the USA or other English-speaking countries, where the month is usually identified by name, not as a number.
This contradicts that "Pompo" is supposedly set in a parody of Hollywood and is inconsistent with the on-screen text, including in the "Marine" trailer, being in English.

The sequences from the movies-within-the-movie, "Meister" and "Marine", have the aspect ratio 2.35 : 1.
In real life, studios switched from making anamorphic films in 2.35 : 1 to making them in 2.39 : 1 around 1970, as a result of making the image slightly shorter and the spaces between frames slightly taller to hide the appearance of splices between frames. Though splices are no longer a problem with digital projection, movies have continued to be shot and released in 2.39 : 1 for consistency ever since.
Considering the Blu-ray Discs and computer equipment visible in "Pompo", it appears to be set several decades after 1970, so it is anachronistic that these supposedly new movies are in the deprecated 2.35 : 1 aspect ratio, not the currently-used 2.39 : 1.
