I've been lying to my wife about film plots for years.
My wife has a tendency to fall asleep when we we settle in to watch movies. It doesn't really bother me except she always asks me how the movie ended.
A couple years ago, I started adding things to the plot when I described the film's ending. It started innocently enough. I might tell her that the main characters got married at the end of a film, or that the film ended with a car chase.
Eventually the lies started to spiral out of control. I add plot twists to movies with reckless abandon. I kill off characters in comedies, add terrorists to romance films, bring back dead characters in post-credit sequences and completely invent third acts for films I myself also fell asleep to.
Today we were discussing 2018 movies and she said it's crazy Jurassic world did as well as it did especially considering how stupid the end was and described an ending I told her months ago where the raptors learn to fire rifles, highjack a cruise ship and get blasted into space on a rocket. I could barely contain myself.
Eventually she is going to give one of these movies a second go, or talk movies with a friend and I'm going to be in trouble.
Tldr: I've created an alternate film universe which exists solely in my wife's head.
