Facts Movie Fans Should Know, But Don't?


Again, facts (and please source) everyone should know. Not "Older movies are factually better" kinda information, lol

There's been a few times I'll be reading here and read something, or an interview someone posted and thought, "Oh, wow" but can't think of any at the moment (I've been up since 4am) but with all the collective knowledge, we should all be able to know-it-all by tomorrow morning

Spoilers:

"Deep Blue Sea" (1999) takes place at an underwater facility that is filled with scientists, biologists and pretty much anyone who is a shark expert. The sharks in the film have superhuman strength. By the end of the movie, the same person ends up killing all 3 sharks. That person is LL Cool J who plays the chef.

THOSE MOTHER FUCKING SHARKS SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN HIS BIRD.

Four hundred and fifty-one degrees is the temperature it takes to ignite the paper in a book.

Film reviews are subjective. Saying a movie is amazing does not mean everyone else will see it as such.
