The subreddit collecting these fun little jokes, whose name we’d rather not reproduce here, is a good place to catch up on the latest movie gossip and controversies. Half of the funny and absurd movie facts found therein refer to recent events in the world of Hollywood.
It Is Often Mentioned That Actor Paul Rudd Has Barely Aged In Decades
I raise you Maria de Medeiros, who plays a grown woman in Pulp Fiction (1994) and was still casted to play a 12-year old in Stranger Things (2016) almost 22 years later
Shirley Henderson was 37 when she played Moaning Myrtle, the ghost of a 14 year old. She did a fine job -- I didn't even know it was her when I first saw the movies. Nevertheless, and despite her baby face, why didn't they get a MUCH younger actress? I suppose they didn't want the character to age between movies, but a late teen would have been fine.
When His True Identity Is Revealed, Peter Parker Received Very Difference Response From The Public In (2004) And (2021)

The Show Must Go On, Right?

'Titanic' Is Now 25 Years Old, And So Leonardo Dicaprio Is No Longer Interested In It
Reddit actually has a community of subreddits dedicated to lampooning mainstream subreddits. They all use the same suffix that we’d rather not reproduce here, but they’re a good place to get utterly unhelpful life tips, travel tips, health and exercise advice, and all matter of information that you maybe wish could be useful but isn’t.
At The End Of Back To The Future Part III (1990), The Words ‘The End’ Appear On Screen As The Story Is Over. This Is Thankfully Still True Today As This Is The Only Franchise That Somehow Hasn’t Received Any Unnecessary Sequels
The Promotional Image For "Fast And The Furious" (2001) Contains A Partial Spoiler
Fun Fact: In Terminator 2 (1991), They Cast Twin Actors In Some Roles To Save Money On Visual Effects
Something about the format also touches on the importance of confidence in comedic delivery. The entire format circles around confidently worded and delivered facts that are usually obviously wrong, co-opting accurately informative messaging styles for comedic effect.
In "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" (2020), The Main Character Says To Her Mom: "Thanks For Being The Best Mom Ever". This Is False As The Best Mom Ever Is My Mom
Even Though Nick Offerman Is Not Gay, He Kisses Another Man In "The Last Of Us" Because The Character He's Playing Is A Gay Man Who Kisses Another Man. This Is A Reference To Acting, Where An Actor Acts How A Character Would Act
In Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (1989), Jones Says “It Belongs In A Museum,” Which Is Incorrect, As Priceless Cultural Artifacts Actually Belong To The Indigenous Peoples From Which They’re Pilfered
Sorry but that is completely wrong! It belongs to the British Museum.
Unfortunately, a similar conceit is used in the creation of fake news, making it clear just how susceptible we can be to confidence (earned or otherwise). If we were to revisit the idea for a false trivia game from earlier, could such a game help us sharpen our internal fake news intuition? Could such a game measure or improve our capacity to detect confidently delivered falsehoods?

In Pulp Fiction (1994) If You Pause The Movie At This Exact Scene, It Won't Keep Going Until You Hit Play Again

Blazing Saddles (1974) Could Not Be Made Today, As It Was Already Made In 1974
My dad's favorite movie XD He had an accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and he was near-vegetative, but the campfire farting scene in Blazing Saddles could still make him laugh. :)

Also there's no way those tickets were found randomly. Wonka must have selected those people well in advance to have customized his tour around them and have his agent, the man pretending to be Slugworth, on the scene the moment those golden tickets were "found" to temp each of those kids. So the whole global search for the golden tickets was one big corporate scam for mass profits.
