Not going to lie, this is nightmare fuel...

Okay, not every movie. That's probably impossible. But hey, meme culture can do just about anything when people set their inventive minds to it. Speaking of, there's a terrifying new game in town, as popularised by those who inhabit Deepfakes, a subreddit where people paste famous people's faces onto porn actors, presumably purely for scientific breakthrough purposes and nothing else. In December, for instance, someone used a machine-learning algorithm to paste Gal Gadot's face onto a porn video, raising a lot of highly uncomfortable questions in the process. Legendary Hollywood madman Nicolas Cage makes for a - slightly - more wholesome repurposing. The Outline notes that many people are now taking his distinctive face and putting it into more household-appropriate fare. Here he is as the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Here he is as James Bond in Dr. No: Here he is doing the Indiana Jones thing: And, last, but not least, and definitely the most upsetting, as Lois Lane in Man of Steel: That's us never sleeping properly again, anyway. via The Outline
