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

I saw the movie in theaters, and they literally had an ad for the audiobook before the movie. How did you not know there was a book?! It's a big part of what the movie is.
Also, this is one of the most accurate book adaptations ever. There's essentially no story missing or changed, but some context missing. For example, they have a climate scientist melt the ice caps to release methane, which he's been fighting against his entire life, because they need warming now. It makes it clear the movie is about working together to fight climate change, which is less clear in the movie.
I didnt watch it in the movies. its just popped up on the streaming recently so I watched it - no ads. great movie I liked it.
