You're half right. Andrew Wakefield, the father of modern anti-vaccine sentiment, wrote a bogus study with horrible methodology against the MMR vaccine due to a desire to sell separate alternative measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Brian Deer explains it best in his 2004 documentary "MMR: What They Didn't Tell You".
I don't remember if it's been less than a week since I last played it, but I started Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE recently. Judging off the first case, it appears to be simultaneously the smartest and dumbest game ever produced.
This is nice. I would recommend not using the term deprogramming, though, as it's very associated with Ted Patrick and the Cult Awareness Network's horrific abuse under the guise of deprogramming. Seriously, the CAN actually got better after being purchased by Scientology. That's the level they operated on.
I think you can definitely understand it (I did), but Pontypool is a film that's very rooted in Canadian culture and discussions on the nature of the country and Quebec in specific.
Maybe not the worst, but this one's personal: Edge of Tomorrow's take on the fantastic All You Need Is Kill (spoilers ahead).
Making the movie PG-13. In chapter 2 of the manga, there is a brutal death scene showing how Keiji can't escape the Mimics wherever he goes. The series was quite bloody, and used that to its advantage.
Casting Emily Blunt as "Rita Vrataski". One of her defining character traits was that she was unassuming, and that you wouldn't expect that level of combat skill from her appearance.
While Keiji was in love with "Rita" in the original, it was unrequited–the change felt actively detrimental to "Rita's" character.
SIDENOTE: I feel like changing this was sort of unimportant, but you'll notice I'm using quotes for "Rita". That's because, in the original, her real name is unknown. She took someone else's identity.
The whole thing about Instrumentality is forsaking your physical body. Now, once you return to reality and realise your whole city is flooded like in the final scene, that's when things start to go wrong.
