Star Wars

STAR WARS BEYOND THE UNKNOWN The CIA used Star Wars sites to confer with operatives.

Roseanne

CRACKED ROSEANNE The finale of Roseanne got bad reviews from fans because it said the whole show was a dream and Dan had died. John Goodman, who played Dan, didn't like it either, calling it irrelevant and silly.

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan, who had never played the piano, mastered a ludicrously difficult Beethoven piano sonata for Byzantium. She pulled it off in 12 weeks, which her teacher found miraculous. One section alone, which requires crossing the right hand with the left, is hard to master even for a piano player with years of experience. CRACKED.COM

Moon

Check out this T-shirt from the start of Moon. WAKE WHEN ME T'S OLITING TIME Wake me up when it's quitting time has a double meaning. We later learn that when one clone wakes up for the first time on the station, that means it was quitting time for the expired clone. CRACKED.COM

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Masterfully Subverted Tropes Tender memories as character motivation Throughout the film, Charlie seems to confront teenage life's challenges by relying on loving memories of his deceased aunt. The third act, however, reframes those memories as painful flashbacks. She wasn't sweet and caring, but, well, something bad. Trope: depressingly subverted.

Gone With the Wind

LUCILLE BALL TRIED OUT FOR SCARLETT IN GONE WITH THE WIND. CRACKED.COM Before her groundbreaking years in I Love Lucy, a relatively unknown Ball auditioned for Scarlett O'Hara. The role went instead to Vivien Leigh, and it netted her an Oscar. Ball later conceded that she was probably not cut out for the part. It's a shame, because a dose of Vitameatavegamin just might have cured some of Scarlett's ills.

Al Pacino

Al Pacino nearly got fired from The Godfather. In the first couple of weeks, his performance totally baffled the filmmakers (except for Coppola, who supported him) and they wanted to replace him. They only changed their mind once they saw him in the restaurant scene -- if that scene hadn't worked, not even Coppola's support would have kept him in the movie. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM
