The end of 'Dolittle' is breaking everyone's brain
If Dolittle is on your must-watch list, you should know there are spoilers ahead. (And also that I'm sorry.) This is your only chance to turn back.
I hope you're still here, because this is some weird and wild stuff. Dolittle, in case you hadn't heard, is Robert Downey Jr.'s first big post-Marvel movie. It's a reboot of the Dr. Dolittle series, in which a renowned doctor and veterinarian has adventures. Also, an important point to add: He can talk to animals.
Downey's turn as the leveled-up animal whisperer sends him off to a mythical island as he hunts down a cure that will save the ailing queen. The story eventually brings him face to face with a dragon, with a climactic showdown that's immediately followed by... hastily executed rectal surgery?

Yup. I (pun definitely intended) shit you not.
After the big human vs. dragon showdown, the good doctor quickly surmises that our dragon friend isn't really a mean lizard of myth. It's just got some serious discomfort from the various things caught deep inside its butt, including an entire set of bagpipes.
I'm not making this up. Sure, it's possible that all the people talking about this on social media are suffering from some kind of shared mass delusion. But the truth of the matter is simpler than that: Dolittle is a real movie where Robert Downey Jr. plucks a set of bagpipes out of a dragon's butt.
Tuck that one away for a future trivia night. And in the meantime, please enjoy the hilarious reactions of addled Twitter users who just got out of seeing Dolittle. I weep for all of these poor, lost souls.

Imagine walking out of that movie after seeing the dragon rectal surgery and thinking to yourself, "Hm, they honestly could've gone harder." This person is a hero. Probably the one we deserve rather than the one we need, but still.

If the premise of the bagpipes scene was to create a social media spectacle that would translate into more tickets sold... it doesn't seem to be working.
