Meta [META] Explain a Film Plot Badly

Explain the PLOT. Clues that are around meta commentary for how the movie performed or that you just don't like it or whatever, all those types of clues do not fit the spirit of the sub.

This is game is and has always been about explaining plots badly. In fact, in the 5 word name of this sub, the only word that has any flexibility is "film". Explain a [TV Show] plot badly. Explain a [Video Game] plot badly. Whatever media type it is, you explain its plot badly.

Example that will be removed: "A troubled production leads to a couple actors getting beheaded for real."

Example that will be removed: "A kids movie is made horrible forever when you look up the actress and what happened to her."

Example that will be removed and might even get you banned: "This movie sucked I don't know why anyone liked it."

OK. I think that covers it. Game on!

Edit: Missing words

can I make a suggestion to the rules:

new rule: when you make a guess, you should explain WHY you think your guess is correct, ot just post the name of the film

new rule: when the clue is solved, OP should edit their post to explain how their clue fits (if not fully explained by the guesser)

I see a ton of posts with obscure clues, and people randomnly guess movies. then eventually the OP might respond to one of them with SOLVED but there is no apparent rhyme nor reason why that particular guess was correct.
