11 Suuuper Random, Fun, And Interesting Facts That You've Probably Never Heard, But Deserve To Know
I recently read The Wedding People by Alison Espach — 10/10 by the way, highly recommend — and one of the chapters mentioned that when bugs land on your food, they vomit on it before eating it. After getting over the immediate shock and disgust, I immediately had to Google it to see if it was true. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's very, very true. The longer they sit on your food, the more likely it is that they threw up AND pooped on it, particularly on solid foods. After finding that out, I was inspired to share some other interesting facts. So, without further ado, here we go: Leto gave Margot Robbie a rat as a Suicide Squad gift. Margot and Jared starred in the 2016 David Ayer's film Suicide Squad, based on the popular DC comics. The two got into character to portray the villainous lovers, Harley Quinn and Joker. To show his appreciation, Jared gave Margot a special present. "When we shot Suicide Squad, not The Suicide Squad, Mr J (Jared) gave me a rat and he became a beloved pet," Margot said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "We called him Rat Rat. He liked beer and bath time. Then the landlord of the place I was renting found out I had a rat and said Rat Rat had to go. And so then Jai Courtney, who plays Captain Boomerang, said, 'I'll take Rat Rat.' And then his landlord wasn't cool with that either, and so then one of the costumers on the job took Rat Rat. And then she had to give Rat Rat away, and Rat Rat - she gave him to Guillermo del Toro's daughters [who] apparently have rats." ice cream used for commercials, TV, and movies, might actually be a completely different food. Oftentimes, when you see ice cream used on the big and small screen, it's actually mashed potatoes. As anyone who has ever eaten ice cream in life knows, the popular dairy product melts very quickly, especially when it's being used under hot studio lights. Companies instead use mashed potatoes because they give a similar look, they don't melt, and by adding food dye, they can easily mimic any ice cream color. Mashed potatoes have also been featured as substitutes for meat. *Bonus: Shaving cream is sometimes used instead of whipped cream and glue is used instead of milk.

"Flies don't have teeth," according to an article from the University of Sydney. "They can't take a bite out of our food, so they have to spit out some enzyme-rich saliva that dissolves the food, allowing them to suck up the resulting soup of regurgitated digestive fluids and partially dissolved most instances, spotting a fly on your food doesn't mean you need to throw it out. While there is little doubt that flies can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites from waste to our food, a single touchdown is unlikely to trigger a chain reaction leading to illness for the average healthy that land out of sight and wander about for a few minutes vomiting and pooping on your food or food preparation area are more of a concern. The more time passes, the greater the chance of pathogens left behind by the flies growing and multiplying on our food. That's when health risks increase."

A Working Man movie review: Jason Statham switches jobs, not genre, in another grit-and-growl thriller
In a world where cinematic universes stretch thinner by the year and franchise fatigue lurks around every marquee, there is something oddly comforting about walking into a Jason Statham movie. You know what you're signing up for: tight T-shirts, tighter punches, and the occasional, gruffly-delivered one-liners. With A Working Man, Statham returns in full force, playing a salt-of-the-earth bruiser caught up in a web of crime. The film, directed by David Ayer and co-written with Sylvester Stallone, is exactly what you expect, but not quite enough of what you hope. Jason Statham has carved a corner in the action hero pantheon. If Tom Cruise is the daredevil philosopher-king of high-concept action, Statham is the neighbourhood tough guy who shows up with a steel-toed boot and unfinished business. He isn't chasing immortality or IMF conspiracies, he's just trying to live a quiet life. In A Working Man, his Levon Cade is a former special ops soldier-turned-construction worker who wants nothing more than to raise his daughter in peace. This setup–a reformed man drawn back into violence when someone he cares about is in danger–is as old as cinema itself. Indian audiences might recognise the echoes of Fateh in spirit, if not tone. What differentiates this film, at least superficially, is its attempt at grounding the story in a blue-collar milieu, perhaps a nod to Stallone's working-class roots. But the narrative, for all its grime and grit, never quite lets go of its glossy action-hero sheen. The core plot kicks off when Jenny, the daughter of Levon's boss (played by a surprisingly subdued Michael Peña), goes missing. Levon, reluctant but duty-bound, dives headfirst into the criminal underworld, unleashing a series of brutal takedowns that would make John Wick blink. The violence is visceral, the choreography functional but unremarkable. While there's a certain satisfaction in watching Statham bulldoze his way through goons, there's little inventiveness in the way it's all stitched together. Ayer, who previously gave us the bruising End of Watch and the scattershot Suicide Squad, brings a workmanlike quality to the direction here. The film never quite crackles, but it doesn't fumble either. The pacing is taut, but emotionally, A Working Man feels like a flatline punctuated by action beats. There's little room for levity, even less for introspection. This is a film that wants to be a character study but settles for a demolition derby. At the emotional core is Levon's relationship with his daughter, but it never evolves beyond the usual set of tropes. He's trying earnestly, if a bit mechanically, to build a life with her. He lives out of his car, brushing his teeth in a parking lot and curling up in the backseat at night. She, meanwhile, stays with her maternal grandfather, away from the chaos he's trying to escape. He sees her occasionally, makes sad eyes when he misses her, and carries the weight of guilt like a permanent shadow. You've seen it all before. These emotional beats are lifted from a playbook so dog-eared it might as well be laminated. It's time we acknowledged the Statham paradox. Here is a man whose physicality, screen presence, and fight IQ are nearly unmatched. He is, in many ways, Britain's answer to Tom Cruise. He commits, he trains, and he carries an entire film on sheer charisma. But unlike Cruise, who surrounds himself with filmmakers who constantly reinvent the action template, Statham seems to inhabit a creative cul-de-sac. His films rarely surprise. They function more as showcases for his durability than explorations of character or theme. There is no denying his appeal. He has a kind of anti-glamour charisma, an everyman edge that makes him a believable action hero. But watching A Working Man, one can't help but wish he were handed a script with more substance, or perhaps even allowed to stretch into roles that challenge his established persona. Until then, we get versions of the same film: different day, same fury. Michael Peña brings some pathos to a character that could easily have been a plot device. David Harbour shows up briefly, chews a bit of scenery, and disappears. The villains are cardboard cutouts, menacing only because the script tells us they are. There's a subplot involving human trafficking that feels clumsily handled; it is not offensive, but certainly lacking nuance. One moment you're watching a girl being held captive, and the next you're in a barroom brawl scored like it's the third act of a superhero movie. Tonal consistency is not the film's strong suit. And perhaps that's the real frustration with A Working Man. It's not that it's bad. It's that it never dares to be better. The ingredients are there: a leading man with gravitas, a director with a flair for grit, a story with emotional potential. But somewhere between concept and execution, ambition is traded for reliability. A Working Man A Working Man Cast – Jason Statham, Michael Peña, David Harbour, Jason Flemyng A Working Man Director – David Ayer A Working Man Rating – 2/5

The Suicide Squad's Jai Courtney Suggests James Gunn Is Open To Him Returning As Captain Boomerang, And I Have Some DCU Questions
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Jai Courtney is definitely no stranger to the superhero genre, as the actor has two DC films under his belt. He notably played Digger Harkness a.k.a. Captain Boomerang in 2016's Suicide Squad and its standalone sequel, 2021's The Suicide Squad. Harkness met a bloody fate early into the follow-up film, which seemed to mark the end of his story. However, Courtney just gave the impression that filmmaker James Gunn, who now co-runs DC Studios, is open to him reprising the role. And that leaves me with questions. The Suicide Squad begins with Task Force X being sent on a mission to the island nation of Corto Maltese. Unfortunately, the operation doesn't go as planned, and it ends with much of the team being massacred. That includes Captain Boomerang, who's hit with both helicopter parts and splinters before the chopper crushes him. Such a demise seems definite, but Jai Courtney told Variety amid the Cannes Film Festival that Gunn gave him 'hope' regarding a return to the world of DC: I was like, 'Come on, man. Boomerang is cool.' And James is like, 'You know these rules don't really apply. Just because he dies here doesn't mean it's gone forever, right?' And I was like, 'Hell yeah.' So I have hope. Somewhere in the back of my mind, there's a prayer that we'll see more of Boomerang one day. These comments are quite different from the ones that Jai Courtney shared in late 2024. At that time, Courtney didn't seem so bullish about reprising his role as the deranged criminal. Fans may be keen to know, however, that he's willing to return and that James Gunn apparently left the door open for him as well. However, given Digger was one of the many casualties in The Suicide Squad, we really should ponder the possible ways in the which the character could even reappear, and this could be tricky. Since James Gunn took on the role of co-CEO of DC Studios, he's been overseeing development on the first chapter of the DCU continuity. Jai Courtney's version of Harkness technically existed in the DC Extended Universe, so that raises questions as to how the character could even return. I mean, could he be added to a production by way of a flashback that takes place before his gruesome demise? That certainly sounds like a feasible solution. More on Upcoming DC Movies Upcoming DC Movies: What's Next For Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman And More There is however another question to consider: could Boomerang simply be retconned back to life? Canon has been a major topic of discussion since the DCU was confirmed to be in development, and there have been a number of official explanations on that front. For instance, it's been confirmed that 'almost all' of Peacemaker Season 1 is canon within the DCU, despite the show having been born out of the DCEU. With that, the show ignores some previous developments and embraces others. So, given that logic, maybe this new timeline could gloss over Digger's death, allowing him to return to the land of the living. I suppose there's also an easier solution, which would simply be to have the Dangerous Animals star just portray another character entirely for the DCU. After all, Alan Tudyk plays multiple DC roles now, and it's quite impressive how he does it. Despite that though, the Australian star's comments definitely give the impression that he's specifically keen on returning as Harkness. Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthWith Max, you'll have access to a plethora of DC-related content. To get in on it, pay $9.99 a month for the With Ads plan. Or you can prepay for a whole year and save up to 20%.View Deal All in all, I'd say that there's at least a chance that Jai Courtney will don those weaponized boomerangs again, especially since James Gunn went out of his way to soothe his concerns. Of course, it's hard to say if something concrete will actually come to fruition. In the meantime, stream both Suicide Squad movies using a Max subscription.

43 Truly Awful Movie Lines That Almost Made The Rest Of The Movie Unwatchable
Recently, Reddit user StillStanding_96 asked r/Movies about lines that completely pulled you out of the movie. Y'know the feeling — you're totally immersed, and then one dumb, illogical, or just plain unrealistic line pulls you back into your brain, where you go 'huh, that was dumb.' Here are 43 infuriating movie moments that did just that. shoehorning of the title in Star Trek: First Contact: the same from A Minecraft Movie: "First, we mine. Then we craft!' Not that there was much disbelief to be suspended in that movie." —u/StillStanding_96 this forced exchange from X-Men: First Class: "This exchange between Xavier and Moira McTaggart at the end of X-Men: First Class: 'We're still on the government's side, Moira. We're still G-men. Just without the G.' 'No. You're your own team now...' (Me, in my head: No. Don't say it.) 'You're something different. Something better...' (Don't you dare.) 'You're...X-MEN.' (Son of a bitch.)" —u/halloweenjon another "he said the thing!" example in Suicide Squad: Suggested by u/BoringUsername6969 from Suicide Squad, when Diablo said this about people he just met: "Much worse was 'I lost one family, I won't lose another one!' about the people he met yesterday." —u/Archius9 dialogue from King Kong that reminded you it's all CGI: "The one that I always think of is from Peter Jackson's King Kong. After landing on the island and discovering the dinosaurs, the film crew starts shooting. The cameraman tells the actor to get into shot with the dinosaurs because otherwise the audience will think they're fake, to which the actor breathlessly replies, 'nobody's going to think these are fake.' Well, I didn't until you said that! Now I'm intensely aware that they're fake, and that this is a movie, and whatever deaths or danger I see from now on are all just pretend. It would be like Aragorn asking one of the hobbits, 'Are you really shorter than I am or are you just far away?'" —u/StillStanding_96 ridiculously dumb comment from Pearl Harbor: Suggested by u/Ok-Juggernaut-1842 nonsensical declaration from Snow White and the Huntsman: "I don't know how tf this line made it through several drafts of a script, and then passed through enough hands to actually make it into a film." —u/Help_An_Irishman famously terrible explanation from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Suggested by u/BoringUsername6969 this almost equally terrible moment from The Force Awakens: Suggested by u/BoringUsername6969 "This man was literally a stormtrooper and didn't know they had flying units?" —u/ConstableGrey cliche line from The Dark Knight: "One of the cops in The Dark Knight says, 'Have a nice trip, see you next fall,' and it makes me die inside every time I watch it." —u/Escapegoat07 with this one from Batman Begins: "Gordon saying 'I gotta get me one of those' in Batman Begins feels so corny and out of place." —u/Escapegoat07 ridiculous quote from Twilight: Suggested by u/Baardseth815 with this one: Suggested by u/Aggravating-Corner-2 "Heroin, famously only enjoyable if you get it made special just for you. Store-brand junk? Never touch the stuff! It's bespoke heroin or nothing!" —u/maskaddict this infamous moment from New Moon: Suggested by u/HeyheythereMidge "It's the way he delivers that line and the awkward camera angle of him running that gets me every time, lmao." —u/Seihai-kun of response from Tenet that asked the obvious: "In Tenet, when they say everyone is going to die and the woman asks, 'including my son?' I think the line was just dumb in general, but even the message of the line didn't hit like they wanted it to, because I genuinely don't believe she is a great person or mother if she only cares about her son during an apocalypse. Like, if her son were safe, she would have let everyone else die." —u/Draw-Two-Cards this line, which was clearly written by someone who knew nothing about X-Men: "The guy literally lost the use of his legs fighting for mutant rights." —u/RoyaleWhiskey sad attempt at Feminism™ from X-Men: Dark Phoenix: "Only two possibilities exist: Jennifer Lawrence fought hard for that line to be included, or the writer was on a lot of cocaine." —u/RoyaleWhiskey similarly forced and corny "feminist" moment from Avengers: Endgame: "Peter: 'I don't know how you're gonna get through all that!' Okoye: 'Don't worry.' Wanda: 'She's got help.' Peter really said that to a woman who had just headbutted a spaceship the size of the moon to pieces because maybe 30 drone army creatures were snarling at them." —u/BadMan3186 sexual promise from Kingsman: The Secret Service: "I mean, it's low hanging fruit, but the moment in the first Kingsman movie where the princess, out of nowhere, having just met Eggsy, says '...we can do it in the butt?'' So goofy. Just weird." —u/bjanas "It kinda fucks up a really fun movie. It was just so unnecessary." —u/BeDeRex this sexual line from Vanilla Sky: "Cameron Diaz shouting 'I swallowed your cum' at Tom Cruise made it difficult for 17-year-old me to focus on the rest of Vanilla Sky." —u/HitmanClark "'I swallowed your cum, David! I swallowed your cum FOUR times! It MEANS something!' Goddamn i love that beautiful movie with my entire heart and soul, but that moment is so fucking hilarious, especially as it enrages cruise's character so thoroughly that he screams, 'I want you to STOP the car!'" —u/marcomc2 attempt at modern slang from Jurassic World: Dominion: In Jurassic World Dominion, Ellie Satler says that Dr. Ian Malcolm 'slid into her DMs'...I haven't cringed at a line harder than that one. It mostly took me out because of how out of place it felt. —u/Sergi121212 "That sliding into the DMs line sounds just as cringey when said in real life." —u/BeApesNotCrabs with this one from Prince of Thieves: "A modern-looking guy with a modern accent says a modern phrase. It's funny but definitely stands out." —u/zahnsaw this one from Napoleon, which felt like a stone's throw from "I'm built different": Suggested by u/fearthejew this use of the word "stuff" in Amadeus: "In Amadeus, when Mozart finds out he must submit samples of his work to be considered for the position of teaching the Emperor's niece, the chamberlain says: 'If you want this position, you must submit your stuff, along with all your colleagues.' The 'stuff' threw me out of the late 1700s/early 1800s vibe." —u/Sorry_Engineer_6136 quote from Interstellar that was a little too on the nose: "I enjoy Interstellar, and maybe I'm missing something, but the line 'Love is the one thing that we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space' is just too on the nose. A different take might have been better, but the line is just too clunky and feels shoehorned in to make sure we, the audience, understand the premise of the movie." —u/iwantedthatwaffle "Anne Hathaway's love speech from Interstellar. A highly trained astronaut talking in platitudes about love being more than just an emotion, that it transcends time and space like a physical phenomenon, like a 14-year-old girl having her first crush. It was embarrassing." —u/SamuraiGoblin reference that was clearly put in for the parents in Moana: "Moana was good, but there was some random line where Maui says, 'when you use a bird to write, it's called tweeting." —u/Hypnotic99 "I get that it's a kids movie, and not to be taken too seriously, but this line is so stupid. It makes absolutely no sense in the context of the movie." —u/SamwellBarley baffling yet iconic line from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Suggested by u/crashedastronaut this line from Gimli from the extended cut of the same film, which raised questions about scientific knowledge in the LOTR universe: "Gimli's line about his axe being buried in an orc's central nervous system kicked me right out. They do Orc Anatomy in Middle Earth?" —u/langly3 comedic moment from Avengers: Endgame, which could've been a lot more heartfelt: "That heart-wrenching moment when Thor sees his mom again after she was slain, and he absolutely butchers the moment with the line, 'I'm totally from the future.' In that one moment, I really wanted Thor to open up and be vulnerable. They just play the comedy card again and again." —u/g_r_e_y line from Mindhunters that came off a little more comedic than intended: "A movie called Mindhunters is about FBI profilers in training on an island with a serial killer that is picking them off one by one. The killer is also a profiler who sets traps to kill the other characters based on their 'weaknesses.' It's a pretty shitty movie that is over acted and relies on shock kills too much, but then at the end (spoilers for a hilarious B-movie) LL Cool J shoots the serial killer and says the amazing line, 'I guess we know his It's so ridiculous and hilarious that it took me out of this subpar movie and made it a repeat watch for me." —u/sellyourselfshort this one from X-Men: "It was meant to be a throwaway/flippant line, but Halle Berry delivered it so seriously, it was just funny in a bad way." —u/notsomadboy silly line from Avengers: Age of Ultron: "In Avengers: Age of Ultron (not that it was a good movie to begin with), there was a line when Hawkeye was talking to his wife, and she says, 'You know I've always supported your avenging.' The movie never recovered for me." —u/Call_Me_Squishmale question from Arrival, which added comedy to a moment where it was not appropriate: "Soooo unnecessary in an otherwise really good film. Man, it's bugged me for so long, and no one seems to mention it ever." —u/No_Cartographer4326 "This is the EXACT line I came in here to write. So glad I'm not the only one. It really took me out of what was a great movie in an otherwise very emotional part." —u/Tradnor terribly delivered line from Four Weddings and a Funeral: "Crappy line, gawdawful delivery. Every time I hear it, I yell at Hugh Grant to go back and marry Henrietta." —u/Lybychick exclamation from The Divergent Series: Allegiant: "In the second Divergent movie, a character shouted out 'Gadzooks!' I turned it off after that." —u/petitemelbourne reading of the Bhagavad Gita during a sex scene in Oppenheimer: "The Bhagavad Gita verse reading in Oppenheimer, more so because of its placement during a sex scene." —u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 "I could not believe that Nolan actually put that in the movie. Wasn't it that he (she?) just opened the book to a random page, and he translated it? I was in the theater, just shaking my head at this bit. Ridiculous." —u/Help_An_Irishman declaration from Bones And All: "Timothée Chalomet's character is talking about how he consumed his father's corpse: 'I ate him right the fuck up.'" —u/ttran62 exchange between Padme and Anakin from Revenge of the Sith: "Pick one out of fifty from Anakin 'charming' Padme. I was stifling laughter in the cinema." —u/RossTheNinja 'You're so beautiful because I'm so in love with you.' 'So love has blinded you.' Fucking kill me." —u/GrapefruitAlways26 reference to a past film from Alien: Romulus: "It was a truly awful callback line to Aliens. It was a total cringe. I know there were a few bad callback lines but the 'bitch' line was the worst by far for me." —u/dvb70 "Alien: Romulus was a callow collection of member berries and thrice-reheated nostalgia. The practical effects were good overall, but they couldn't distract or disguise the lack of originality." —u/MolaMolaMania Warner Bros. reference in The Matrix Resurrections: Suggested by u/Blockness11 "Christ, it fully broke my immersion. I got it back shortly after, and then the film lost me again when they woke Neo up, and nothing interesting happened." —u/bob1689321 ridiculous response from Volcano: "I literally yelled 'FUCK YOU' at the screen." —u/Whitealroker1 just frankly untrue line from Wicked: "'Let me tell you the whole story.' – Wicked: Part 1." —PayaV87 What movie or TV line memorably pulled you out of what you were watching?
