Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.

To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.

For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.

Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.

For shitty videogame details, there's [email protected]

In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Han Solo sees a fascist leader and immediately shoots at him. The Rebels are actually the bad guys because they should have responded nonviolently. (lemmy.world)

Solo always shoots first.

I never liked the saying "Han shot first" because it implies that Greedo attempted to shoot Han at all instead of dying like a little bitch for literally telling him he planned on killing him.

I saw it in the theatre in ‘77 - twice the first time cause back then you could wait for the next run and the hype hadn’t created the line ups yet. Han shot first in that cut, no question.

Georgie only changed it in later cuts because he forgot which way it was supposed to be.

So, you're saying you magically saw some version where Greedo shot at Han?

[–] MyDogLovesMe 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Uhhh, no.

I think you misunderstood my first comment, then. I'm not sure why else you would make that comment.

Greedo was pointing a blaster at him. He was clearly going to shoot, but Han shot first.

[–] StaticFalconar 2 points 2 days ago

Nah, Greedo got greedy and thought he could capture Han alive for more money.

Of course when you include that specific context it makes sense. However, the actual context is that there are different versions, like one where they shoot at the same time and he dodges it.

So, saying "Han shot first" without adding in extra context like "before Greedo shot" then you're implying something entirely different.
