Reddit’s r/shittymoviedetails is the world’s largest repository of movie details that aren’t even real, but honestly, they should be.
It’s a no-nonsense place to share all the useless but funny details that you can point out the next time you find yourself knee-deep in a conversation about movies with a film snob. I’m sure they’ll appreciate these shitty movie details.
Enjoy!
