Remember the days when we could watch movies in the theater without a care in the world? Our biggest worry was which size popcorn to get (large obviously) or where to sit (back row, middle seats, duh). But those days are distant memories, and who knows when we'll be allowed back into theaters. We wouldn't even mind the obnoxious idiots who talk throughout the movie, or who have their phones on loud—just bring back normality, please! Joining us in movie theater nostalgia is writer Mike Ginn, who recently tweeted: "The thing I miss most about movie theaters is overhearing someone say the dumbest f—king thing I've ever heard before the previews start." His tweet went viral, and he received thousands of replies from people, all sharing the dumbest things they've overheard at the movies. What's yours?

Mr. Bean was one of those classic 'I don't know why this is funny, but it just is' shows. For a guy who barely spoke, he somehow managed to make everyone laugh, which is a particular skill that not many actors or comedians have. So how about a little reminder of how funny Mr. Bean was, with some pictures of his face photoshopped onto famous Hollywood characters, that someone somewhere had the ingenuity to create? Somehow these are almost as funny as watching him on TV, so my conclusion is that his humor is in his face. What do you think?
Russia is a weird place. Granted, it's on its way up, but communist and post-communist countries have a reputation for being pretty... drab. We're not saying it's the worst place in the world, but we're not saying it's Hollywood. And speaking of Hollywood, can you imagine how depressing it would be if all your favorite movies had been shot in the former USSR? Well, not you don't have to because someone has recreated a bunch of famous movie scenes as if they were filmed in Russia, and they're f*cking depressing. Scroll through and see what I mean.
We've shown you the couple who recreated famous movie posters to keep themselves busy during lockdown, and they're not the only ones. Another couple is reenacting scenes and posters from famous movies and they're brilliantly accurate. From Star Wars to Harry Potter to Spiderman, they've got it right every single time. Check out their creativity below.
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? Well, wonder no more, because German artist Alex Pick has reimagined some iconic Disney characters into popular movie posters and the results are breathtakingly realistic. Somehow he has managed to pick the perfect characters and make them believable as the modern-day actors for whose place they have taken. Disney fans everywhere are loving his work, which you can see on his Instagram page, but here is a selection of the best.
A Hungarian couple has kept themselves busy during quarantine by recreating famous movie scenes and they've totally nailed them! Fanni and Norbert have been finding things from around their house to make creative reenactments of their favorite movies and they're keeping themselves and the rest of the internet entertained. Here are some of their best works below, and you can find more of their creativity on Facebook.
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)
Nominated for:
Best Drama, Best Dramatic Screenplay, Best Director – Dramatic Production,Best Editing,
Thanks to Twitter user, @Retr0Joe, for bringing African movie posters into the spotlight -- we can comfortable say this is the best thing we've seen all day.
The artist behind these magnificent artworks is Daniel Anum Jasper. D.A. Jasper has been a pioneer of Ghana movie poster painting since the 1980s. You can see more of his work on Instagram!
What an amazing day to be alive.
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?
