In the words of Season 1's bratty Sansa Stark, "You're spoiling everything!" — well, at least that is the hope of HBO hackers when it comes to Game of Thrones. As the jewel in the network's crown, all eyes are looking toward that pointy chair when #GeorgeRRMartin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga wraps up its storyline in Season 8. With anything from #KitHarington's haircut to Dany's dye job making front-page news, everyone involved with the Seven Kingdoms is trying their utmost to keep those final season spoilers under wraps, and it seems that HBO is going to some serious lengths to do so.

Is It A Trick Or Is It A Treat? 'Halloween' Reboot Will Ignore All The Franchise Sequels
As Michael Myers prepares to come home once again, the world of horror is bracing itself for the Halloween franchise to return to our screens in a big way.

There is nothing more beautiful than the romantic union of two souls in good ol' wedding — well, that is unless you are part of HBO's Game of Thrones.

Bird Is The Word: Michelle Pfeiffer Swallowed A Real Bird For 'Batman Returns'
Over the past 50 years of Batman movies, we have had the good, the bad, and the down right ludicrous leap from the pages of DC comic books. But whether it be the campy '60s classic, Christopher Nolan's brooding Dark Knight trilogy, or all the neon and rubber nipples of Joel Schumacher's days, everyone has their favorite trip under the cowl. However, for some of us, the Detective's greatest adventure was #TimBurton's second installment, which pitched Michael Keaton's Caped Crusader against Catwoman and the Penguin.

Ridley Me This, Ridley Me That: Ridley Scott's Next Alien Movie Won't Focus On The Xenomorphs
For a story that will have you spitting venom (and acid), it sounds like sci-fi legend Ridley Scott has some controversial plans for his ongoing Alien franchise. After first bringing Xenomorphs to our screens in 1979, the world of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation has gifted us sequels, crossovers, reboots, and prequels, which all led to this year's #AlienCovenant. With Scott back behind the reins once again, the Alien prequel divided critics, thanks mainly to its deviation into religion and evolution.

Cuteness Overload: Star Wars Fandom Has Turned Against The Porgs From 'The Last Jedi'
Forget Wookiees, Ewoks or even Yoda; Star Wars has a new cuddly critter for fans to obsess over. After being previously glimpsed in promotional material, the latest trailer for Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi gave us an adorable look at the Porgs.
