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 !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world
Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.

Well... You see, it all started with a taxifing clown, a con with a big fucking rocket, and France...
When they blew up the statue the top bit flew through space and landed on the planet. The guy literally tells you right after seeing it.
Iirc in the original book, the planet of the apes wasn't actually earth, but when the guy goes back to earth at the end it's been taken over by apes. Or something like that.
