Movies are about escapism - they're meant to take us away into a fantasy world, whether it's a cartoon, an action-thriller, a rom-com, or a horror movie. But even though it's not real, we still want to see plots that are somewhat believable, and sometimes, the producers just get it all wrong. People of Reddit are pointing out all the things are totally normal in movies, but never happens in real life and they've got us seeing movies all differently now.

We've brought you some pictures of amazing transformations of actors after applying movie makeup before, and here are some more. These incredible pictures show the steps that makeup artists had to go through to totally transform these actors into totally unrecognizable states; a process that takes hours and hours. Imagine having to sit through that every. Single. Day! All for our entertainment (and a nice big paycheck!)
Did you ever wonder what it would look like if Disney wasn't just limited to our favorite cartoon classics?

Disney fans everywhere are loving his work, which you can see on his Instagram page, but here is a selection of the best.

Lance Ford is the genius artist behind @brandnamefilms who is creating movie poster art like never seen before. That's because the movies don't actually exist; instead, they are a mashup of our favorite actors and some of the popular brands we love. Lance told one news outlet, "I love advertising and movies, and thought it would be fun to combine the two in an interesting way." Well, they're certainly interesting! If you've ever wondered what Jake Gyllenhaal looks like as The Energizer Bunny, or imagined Ryan Reynolds as the Pillsbury Dough Boy, this is your lucky day. And make sure you read the captions - they're very very very funny! t you like the most!
Last week we posted people's responses to a tweet asking them to let their predictive keyboards determine their death in horror movies by typing "In a horror movie, my character dies when" and seeing what their keyboards came up with. Hundreds of our users decided to try this challenge and we've compiled some of the best responses below! Keep 'em coming!
We've all been victims of autocorrect before - phones can really screw us over when they type something we didn't mean and we press send before we realize what we've done. But what happens when we let predictive text do its thing... on purpose? @SYFY WIRE asked followers to find out how they'd die in a horror movie by typing, "In a horror movie, my character dies when" and use the predictive keyboard text to spell out the rest. The results are hilarious!
I'm going to be 100% honest. This is a porn movie review.
Your first thought might be, "Huh? Why do porn movies even need reviews?" Well, lets answer that. Porn movies need reviews for the same reason anything needs reviews: because people rely on and TRUST reviews to know if the movie, show, play, concert, and even restaurant is worth their time and money.
The adult film industry is not what it's made out to be. Sites such as Pornhub and YouPorn show only snippets of movies, designed for users to get in, do their thing and get out. But, the industry has evolved and adult films are now complete with real storylines, themes, and character development that make for high-quality, entertaining, and dare we say it, "realistic" features.
But this isn't any ordinary porno review. We didn't just pick a movie from from Pornhub or from HBO late-night. No, these adult films weren't even chosen by us. They were chosen by the official voting committee of the "Adult Video News" (AVN) Awards and were nominated in the category of "Best Drama" in the upcoming 37th AVN Awards (Often referred to as the "Oscars of Porn"). Just like any Oscar Ceremony, it is a moment to recognize the achievement of the various aspects of adult films. With categories such as 'Best Actress', 'Best Director' and 'Best Parody', it's truly fitting for there to be a 'Best Drama' section too.
So sit back, get comfy and dive into our honest and revealing review of "Adelaide". It may even inspire you to watch it afterward.
The first on the hot seat;
Adelaide (MissaX)

Dear Hollywood, instead of your obsessive need to turnout re-makes of classics, why not look to history for some incredible stories that have yet to be told?

The make-up and prosthetics department in the cinema world brings the characters to life! They do such an incredible job at transforming stars into their characters, sometimes it's unreal how life-like they look. Plain and simple, what they do is art.
I mean, just look at a majority of Gary Oldman movies -- the guy is a total chameleon but he wouldn't be as such without an incredible make-up team behind him! Still a fantastic actor though. If you're reading this Gary Oldman, we love you!
Okay, got off track there for a second. Here are some amazing cinema transformations that blew our minds:
#TrueHorrorMovieTitles is trending on Twitter and people are creating really terrifying titles. These tweets are just too real and giving us some anxiety, we're gonna need to drink a delicious sugary substance, put on an episode of The Office and take a 6-hour nap... (We would've done all this anyway but now we have a good excuse for it)
