    1. There’s one more specificity that I HAVE to mention! In both of those families there’s a grandmother who is at the risk of a heart-attack! 😭

      This is some niche-on-niche at the silliest possible level! 👀

      Tom hanks peeing in movies.

      Castaway, green mile, league of their own, Forrest Gump, the money pit all have random or uncomfortably lengthy scenes of tom hanks taking a piss.

    3. sandra bullocks is in a lot of shitty movies. in fact, if i see her in the cast, i immediately know to avoid that movie.

    4. I’ve always found it hilarious that the plot of the Lizzie McGuire Movie was that a teenage blonde girl with bangs gets mixed up with a wavy haired brunette popstar, to the point that fans are chasing her down the street and she’s fooling Isabella’s friends. Then a few years later, Disney said, “Hannah Montana: a teen girl with wavy brown hair is utterly unrecognizable when she puts on a blonde banged wig and becomes a pop star. Not even her boyfriend can tell. You know, due to the hair.”

    5. the troublesome gay son of a popular political figure/head of state played by Sebastian Stan

      Movie sequel where an anthropomorphic animal is framed for a robbery in London: Great Muppet Caper and Paddington 2.

    7. Brendan Fraser being a fish out of water in extreme ways.  

      See: Encino Man, George of the Jungle, Blast from the Past

    8. whimsical-editor on

      Rory Kinnear has appeared on screen climbing out of other people’s bodies in both Men and Penny Dreadful and it does raise some questions frankly.

    9. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as love interests in 3 movies, and with iconic dance scenes in 2 of them

    10. Goddntmake_lnlygirls on

      Leonardo DiCaprio dealing with the tragic loss of his family while uncovering a mystery and the ending is an ambiguous mess (inception/shutter island).

    11. A green outcast makes their first friend, falls in love, and opposes a corrupt government leader: Shrek and Wicked

      (kudos to my friend for coming up with this one)

      If I had a nickel for every movie Chris Evans played a character with superhuman abilities who’d had formative experiences with someone he loved at Coney Island only for them to later get their memory wiped, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s QUITE weird that it’s happened twice.

      (The movies in question are the Captain America flicks, obviously, and Push.)

      I’m surprised no one has brought up the whole “Kevin Costner white savior movie” genre (Hidden Figures; Dances with Wolves; McFarland, USA; The Bodyguard; Yellowstone). I feel like you can make a drinking game out of how many fucking times he plays a white savior.

    14. Magic woman with long braid who has suppressed herself her entire life suddenly can’t hide anymore and sings a big number about it that becames a popular song among kids

      Frozen and Kpop demon hunters lmao

    15. beccadahhhling on

      I’m actually a terrible person but I’m so pretty and bubbly that everyone loves me

      See: Pretty Woman, My best Friends Wedding, Runaway Bride, Eat Pray Love, The Mexican, Ocean’s 11, Notting Hill, Ticket to Paradise, etc…
