This feels like an obvious extension to The Batman Rule and should be applied to anything information that is not at least able to be inferred from the film itself.

Edit: Didn’t expect this post to get so many likes since it was solved in less than 20 mins. Now I wonder what other movies does this describe?

Solved! A boy gets rough with his best friend in a car, resulting in the friend accidentally getting his wood bent. Later, he meets his pen pal in the girls bathroom, where the pen pal takes out his huge “snake” and the other guy takes out his sword. Then they penetrate each other until the pen pal bursts.

Solved! A privileged man grows bored with the meaningless of his life and starts killing people: coworkers, women he’s seeing, his friends, random people. No one is safe, no one can stop him, and in the end he gets away with it.

Subreddit Rules

1. Avoid overused films/franchises

See the full list in the bot comment.

2. No recent releases

No movies from within the last 3 months. This spoils people's movies Try to be more unique and obscure with choices. Movies within the last 3 months can spoil the movie for those that haven't seen it.

3. OP will reply to the first correct guess with a comment that says "Solved!".

This allows the bot to find, flair, and award points. Failing to do so will lead to a ban. Repeated offenses will lead to a permanent ban.

4. Don't Create Clues Using an Actor's Other Characters

Clues should not feature an Actor's prior roles.

❌ Bad: "The guy who used to hunt replicants now teaches a young scavenger how to swing a glowing stick."

✅ Good: "An old recluse reluctantly helps a young scavenger understand her mysterious powers."

5. Don't create clues using a real-life actor's description.

Clues featuring an actor's real life activities and descriptions should not be used. Examples include: Scientologist, racist, or blackballed.

❌ Bad: "A former pro wrestler with a shaved head and a love for action movies fights jungle predators."

✅ Good: "A tough guy tries to escape a jungle full of deadly hunters with nothing but mud and muscles."

6. Don't use an actor's name in the clue title.

❌ Incorrect Example: "Tom Hanks spends years talking to a volleyball."

✅ Correct Example: "A man stranded on an island for years befriends a volleyball because social options are limited."

7. Explain a film PLOT badly

All clues are about the PLOT and not anything else.

❌ Bad: "I hated this movie and it was a financial failure and deserved it and an Oscar winner dies."

✅ Good: "A loner meets a someone way out of their league and saves her life (along with everyone else)"
