Funny Facts and Rumours

Shawshank Redemption is a movie that really captures a movie goers’ heart by giving hope to those in despair. But what if it happened for real? Ok, that is not entirely impossible, but what about a movie like Three Kings? Can it really happen? Well, check out this article in cracked.com titled 7 Completely Unrealistic Movie Plots (That Came True). I love a good movie based trivia and there is more where this came from. The site cracked.com is loaded with articles that are funny and interesting which basically list facts, rumours and opinions which are simply weird or you weren’t simply aware of. Let me give you more samples of their lovely work.


Movies have so many shots altered through visual effects and most of us can spot one when we see it. But what if Jennifer Connelly’s tear in Blood Diamond was a visual effect? What if they had altered Brandon in Superman Returns in ways that you didn’t imagine was necessary? What if the perfect body of Angelina Jolie in Beowolf wasn’t really Angelina Jolie? To find out more, check out this article titled CGI Boobs: 7 Special Effects The Stars Want to Keep Secret. The site is not just about movies though. Check out this picture for example.


The wired car frame is not really a photoshop work, according to the site. It is in fact, a real life wire-frame sculpture by artist Benedict Radcliffe. To read more about it, check out this article 17 More images you won’t believe aren’t photoshopped. Then, there is an article explaining why some famous superpowers would really be a nightmare to live with. There is another one about some badass cartoon villains who lose to retarded heroes and one more about famous characters that are basically a rip-off. If you are looking for some light-hearted trivia to spend your time on, check out their site & leave me a comment if you like it.
