Have you ever seen that 80s film called "The Never Ending Story"?

What a jip - only lasted 90 minutes. Felt like asking for my money back.

And that film called "Swingers" - spoiler alert - NOT about swinging!

The Equalizer: There were no mathematical equations present whatsoever!

Not even so much as a sniff of algebra in fact!

I was suitably appalled by such blatant misinformation and subsequently walked out the cinema in abject disgust!

Debbie Does Dallas: By my mathematical calculations, the eponymous protagonist in this film (which lacked anything resembling a coherent plot by the way) ‘DID’ not even 0.00000001 percent of the population of Dallas.

Talk about false advertising!

The Shape Of Water: At no point in this film was the notion of Plato's idea that in its purest form, water takes the shape of an icosahedron discussed!

Instead we had the Creature From The Black Lagoon engaging in sexual liaisons with the missus from the Paddington movies!
