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.

In "The Odyssey" (2026) Elliot Page was cast as a Greek soldier but he is 5'1" and 110Ibs. Matt Damon is 5'10" 185Ibs. People are complaining that Page doesn't resemble the build of a Greek soldier even though the average Greek soldier was 5'4" and 130 Ibs. Page is closer than Matt Damon!

The more I hear from "it needs to be historically accurate" dweebs the more I realize they think "historically accurate" is whatever they've seen from Hollywood before. Guaranteed most of them thought of the movie Troy with Brad Pitt as their "historical" source.

I wouldn't mind watching a full movie in a language I don't understand.

I watched Spermagadeon in Norwegian (no subtitles) and seeing the evil sperm do a musical villain speech as they turn into iron man, with no context, is amazing.

I made a similar joke in another thread about how many people complaining about body shapes in The Odyssey would be surprised about the existence of twinks in ancient Greece.

The royal fuck-toys, I think the historically accurate term is

That's a great name for a band...

all this drama has done is remind me I’m old at 47. I have no idea who Elliot Page is, but will see the movie and decide if i like it or not anyway.

He played the pregnant lady in Juno.

Now THAT'S range.

Oh Juno! That was a hit when it came out. Cool! Good sountrack, iirc. Thanks!

as for black Helen... Elon needs to consult a map, Africa was always a short boat ride away.

Don't be obtuse. Sahara was a thing back then as well

North Africa contained some of the most fertile areas in the Mediterranean in ancient times.

And you think nobody ever lived there?

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 8 points 1 day ago

Maps are too clear cut for Elon. He only talks about big amorphous topics so it's harder to see what an absolute spanner he is.

This is no place for a hobbit!

Thats because Page is a vegan

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that like the ancient greek too?

[–] deadbeef79000 5 points 14 hours ago

No, because Greek salad had cheese in it.
