Shitty Movie Details

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]

Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.

In case anyone doesn't get it, James Doohan (who is Canadian, not Scottish) lost a finger during the Normandy invasion in World War II.

That’s important context, but it’s not the main part of what I meant for the joke to be. I was riffing on the people and articles criticizing a new poster for the upcoming Fantastic Four film who state the absolutist (and almost always true) logic that if # of fingers ≠ 5, then AI was used. Retrospectively, this could also apply to the reaction to a poster for the upcoming Thunderbolts* film too.

I understand your intention, but it also would have been confusing for anyone who didn't know that he only had four fingers for a very valid reason.

When I see a person who only has four fingers, I generally assume there is a very valid reason for that.
