Actors, athletes and artists get a buttload of attention, but some of the best stories about them are when they don't. Sometimes these people didn't even know they were talking to a celebrity. Did you know Ben Affleck is into StarCraft? For some stranger celebrity encounters, check these out.

Twitter's on a well-warranted Feels Trip right now. Thanks Toy Story 4. How about a kind warning next time? Apparently you can add the The Beach Boys love song, "God Only Knows" cue into just about anything, and emotions, weeping, tears, will arise. The reactions from Twitter users who are deep in their feels is entertaining at least. 

There's a whole lot of what you see in the movies that is NOT applicable in real life. Sometimes we will ourselves into believing that such, isn't so. Life would surely be a lot more dramatic and "magical" if the world lined up with what we see unfold in a wild script, sometimes. But alas, life ain't what it looks like in the movies. These examples of movie logic not holding up with the real world, should drive that bleak point home. 

Never underestimate the internet when it comes to dissecting specific scenes from Pirate of the Caribbean movies. It started when someone pointed out the ridiculousness of having a legendary pirate standing in a bucket of water as a loophole for his curse. It ended with multiple users trying to figure out exactly how he figured this out, and what other curse-circumnavigating activities he could engage in, like sitting in a wheelbarrow. For more awesome pop culture weirdness from Tumblr, here's the time users tried to figure out what day Ice Cube's Good Day was, and here's the time they tried to figure out what angels look like.

In a movie that's being condemned as insensitive, Marvel decided to use the late Stan Lee's Twitter account to promote Captain Marvel. As you can imagine, people had some strong feelings about their decision. 

Never underestimate Twitter users and their ability to absolutely ruin a movie as we knew it, by twisting it up with words of creative destruction. These 15 titles will make you cringe and chuckle at the same time. 

Brendan Fraser gets to punch Brendan Fraser. Like, what else could you want in a film? Oh, Robot Monsters and Island Earth Mutants? AND the twins from Gremlins 2 play the Warner Brothers. I don't know about you, but I am so ready to watch this movie now. 

You never know who's been using your Netflix account. In this case, a friend of an Ex from years ago thought they were justified enough to step in and reveal that they'd been using the account. The entitlement is palpable.

Hey, adults are the ones who write all of these shows anyway so it just makes sense that they'd sneak something in for the parents. Some of these are references only adults would get, others are just straight up filthy. Anyway, after these you may look at your childhood a little differently.

Rory Turnbull, kickstarted the viral Twitter thread, after he shared how much more dramatic his job would be, if portrayed on the big screen. Twitter users shared their hot and spicy takes on other jobs they could imagine being a whole lot more ridiculous and prone to fits of melodrama, if shown on the big screen. The resulting tweets are definitely entertaining! 

I don't know what's more unsettling or comically absurd in this video: The attention that the team at Universal Orlando Resort must've put into sculpting that troll-ass, or the fact that the troll parades around, and farts glitter on people. It's ridiculous and unlike anything we're used to seeing, and that's why it belongs on Fail Blog, for now. Hope you enjoy! 

Sit back and watch Hugh Jackman kickstart his online "fake" feud with Ryan Reynolds, with stunning ease. Watch as an initially heartwarming, bubbly video brimming with good feels gives way to a suited and tailored Hugh Jackman, going full pour-one-out-like-a-savage mode. Just cold and brutal, and entirely hilarious. All kidding aside, we're excited to see what these two drum up for their next collaborative marketing campaign. 

Cracked writer Daniel Dockery went to twitter to share the time he tried getting a girl's attention by writing a sequel to her favorite movie. The effort was there, but so were time travel and Star Wars references. Things went about as well as the first Titanic.

Filmmakers use a lot of unrealistic shortcuts to get their point across as quickly as possible. Some of these shortcuts are so ridiculous and overdone that they end up ruining a viewer's suspension of disbelief. Here are some that seem to be in absolutely everything.
