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.

My wife and I just watched it. It surprised us how good it was. We're both older millennials who grew up in the era of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, although I didn't watch it much as a kid and my wife had never seen it. It was still accessible for both of us, not knowing most of the lore of the original.
We both cheered when the 4 Non Blondes' song, What's Up started playing (the meme song that the Internet just calls "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA"). Hilarious that they found a way to slip it in that was plot relevant, not just "Hey, here's your meme reference!"
The film was surprisingly smart and witty. Prince Adam (He-Man) himself had his smart moments, but was mostly a himbo, which my wife found hilarious. She said it's the perfect film for her and her girlfriends to enjoy together over some wine. There were a lot of tropes with women in old sword & sorcery films, but gender-reversed. He-Man is eye candy, kind of dumb, when he "suits up," it's extremely revealing armor that doesn't actually cover or protect his body, just shows lots of sexy skin, etc.
Also, I loved how they explained the cringey names of all He-Man's friends from the old cartoon. They were apparently nicknames he gave them when he was like 10 years old, based on their abilities. Even they thought they were weird names to be called, but kinda leaned into them by the end. Even the name "He-Man" was kinda cringe, but explained that it was the manliest man name 10-yr old Adam could come up with.
We solidly enjoyed it. Easily a 9/10 in my book, and I used to review films for a while. This film actually made me consider starting up my old film review blog again.
