When Fantasy Football Meets Captain Marvel and Deadpool!
Fantasy Football is a hobby that in the Fall usurps a major chunk of my time from video games and movies. Every year I spend countless hours preparing for the multiple fantasy drafts that I'm a part of. Between mock draft simulators, training camp news and updates, scouring my favorite sports sites for the inside scoop and working on my own player inventory spreadsheet (see below), I'm not kidding when I say that I probably spend a couple days worth of time crafting my draft strategy and in-season management plan.

You Won't Believe What This Actor Did To Become a Texas Ranger!
Many actors will go to serious lengths for a role. We've seen everything from total makeovers to hair removal; from weight loss to gaining muscle mass. That dedication is one of the reasons why we love the actors that we do, because they can capture our attentions with their portrayal of the characters and leave us feeling that we were truly with them in that show or film. It all adds to the believability of their performance.

Could George Lucas Direct 'Star Wars: Episode IX'?
Speculation over the future of the Star Wars franchise is attracting more and more curiosity with the news that Colin Trevorrow and Disney are officially parting ways before Episode IX begins production. There is still a lot of unknowns about why Disney's Star Wars films have seen so many directors come and go, but perhaps this is the best opportunity to point out the most obvious replacement for Colin Trevorrow: The one and only George Lucas.

Wait, What!? They're Rebooting This Board Game Adaptation?
15 years ago, the incredibly popular, fantasy role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons had a feature film created...nobody liked it. It was panned by nearly every critic even though it had a solid cast including Jeremy Irons, Bruce Payne, Robert Miano, Marlon Wayans, Thora Birch, Lee Arenberg & Tom Baker. The 2000 film is seen as a commercial flop as it was met with reviews and rankings as one of the worst films of all time. Empire Online ranked it as the 39th Worst film of all time, between Son of the Mask & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

The World That Could Have Been: Superhero Close Calls
This morning I was inspired by a post on the Facebook Creators Group, and it went a little something like this: If you're ever having a bad day, just remember: Tom Cruise could have been Ironman, Dane Cook could have been Captain America, Nicolas Cage could have been Superman, Edward Norton could have been Wolvering and more George Clooney Batman films were planned.

Even 'Game of Thrones' Director Alan Taylor Agrees That Time Is a Little Hazy in Season 7
We've all noticed that this season of Game of Thrones has, to say the least, given us plenty of answers to questions we've wondered for several seasons. Yet, the speed in which we've gotten the answers has been polarizing among fans. Some love that there are so many payoffs in such a short time after devoting countless hours to these characters, while others have heavily criticized the show's pacing. After the action-packed episode "Beyond the Wall" was released last Sunday, director Alan Taylor offered his perspective on the show's timelines during an interview with Variety.

Scooby-Doo, Gene Simmons & Nostalgia OH MY! - An Interview with Kevin Shinick
I grew up in the late 80s & early 90s. My childhood was overloaded with classic rock, (thanks mom!) comics, and cartoons thanks to the curse of dial-up internet and AOL's constant running-man.
