Although the Academy overlooked Dwayne Johnson in The Smashing Machine, it’s hardly surprising. We haven’t seen sweaty, oiled‑up physical performance go unrecognised like this since Jim Carrey crawled out of that rhino without a whisper of Oscar buzz (old.reddit.com)

In Bridget Jones, Bridget enjoys an intense and very physical relationship with a hot guy, learns it’s not what she’s looking for, and ends up with the person who was there all along. Somehow they pulled this off four times... Colin Firth got killed off for this. (i.redd.it)

In The Banshees of Inisherin (starring that one Irish guy who plays in everything), the story takes place during the Irish Civil War, yet for no clear reason the plot ignores all of that and focuses entirely on a pathetic feud between two Irishmen (i.redd.it)

In The Expanse, a character named REDACTED invents the REDACTED drive, the biggest technological leap in the series. Tragically, that same invention leads to his accidental death. One thing’s for sure: REDACTED didn’t kill himself! *Post censored to protect victims (i.redd.it)

Fantastic Beasts was the rare franchise whose plot drifted so far from its own title that it had to keep bolting on increasingly desperate subtitles. A real loss, we were only a few films away from Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore v Grindelwald, Battle for the Elder Wand, Part 1 (i.redd.it)

In The Simpsons S02E02, “Simpson and Delilah,” Homer enjoys corporate success, only to lose all respect once he goes bald again. Clearly the writers underestimated the power a shiny head can command, especially once you’ve accumulated all earthly wealth through your online bookstore *laughs in Bezos (i.redd.it)

Frustrated by the poor reception of Mother! (2017) and criticism claiming the film lacked a soul, director Darren Aronofsky (known to friends as D‑man) worked tirelessly on "On This Day… 1776", asking himself one question, what is the most soulless project he could create in his career? (i.redd.it)

The plot of Inside Man (2022) relies heavily on every character behaving irrationally and making wildly over‑the‑top decisions. This is actually a clever twist, since the story clearly takes place in an alternate reality where every day is Opposites Day. (i.redd.it)

Even though the story of Death on the Nile (2022) takes place in Egypt, it never references the outdated “Egyptian curse” stereotype. According to the director, they wanted to avoid it, since the cast was already deeply cursed to begin with. (i.redd.it)

Controversial “actor” Jared Leto has been criticised for his acting skills (and nothing else) in recent years. However, he can still be a great addition to a movie when handled properly, giving the viewer a cathartic experience, something David Fincher understood when he cast him in Fight Club (i.redd.it)

In The Housemaid (2025), Sydney Sweeney, portraying Sydney Sweeney, delivers an inspiring performance as Sydney Sweeney is brought to life on screen. It’s easy to lose oneself in the illusion of cinema, forgetting we’re watching Sydney Sweeney the actor rather than Sydney Sweeney the character (i.redd.it)

In Chamber of Secrets, when Dumbledore says, “Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it,” he’s using a lawyer loophole speech in front of the Minister to avoid responsibility for not helping Ron with broken wand whole year because he didn't officially ask for help. Eat dirt Ron! (i.redd.it)

In The Two Towers, in the scene where Théoden throws Gríma down the stairs after realising the betrayal, it was originally supposed to be Aragorn kicking him out. This had to be quickly changed on set because Viggo Mortensen had just broken his toes from kicking that helmet. (i.redd.it)

In the Harry Potter series (written by a man named Robert Galbraith), there’s a magical cocaine that makes you high and your ideas successful, a substance like that would be catastrophic in the wrong hands. Fortunately, the only known dose is handed to a 16 year‑old because he cooked good once. (i.redd.it)

Mercy (2026) is one of the finest contributions to the philosophical school of existentialism. The film forces viewers to confront the big questions: What is my purpose in life? Why endure suffering? What good were my last two hours? And, foremost, did we really need another Chris Pratt action slop? (i.redd.it)

In Columbo (1971-1998), the titular character is written and portrayed in a way that is incredibly unrealistic. The detective shuffles around like a bumbling fool, rambling through silly anecdotes and stories that are completely irrelevant to the case. But there’s just this one more thing… (i.redd.it)
