Silver Belles: Patty Jenkins Gives Advice To Spider-Man's 'Silver And Black' Director
While the #DCEU is still lassoing in the rewards of #WonderWoman and a new wave of female-first superhero films, director #PattyJenkins will surely become the role model for any women hoping to rule the box office roost. Whereas greats like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino are all known for their directorial skills, Jenkins is set to become synonymous with empowering women in cinema — particularly those hoping to break into that tricky superhero genre.

Opening Pandora's Box: James Cameron Defends 11-Year Wait For 'Avatar 2'
It is a well known fact that time waits for no man — well, unless you are #JamesCameron, that is. Hollywood has something of a soft spot for the Terminator and Aliens maestro, who can seamlessly weave his action magic into any film to give us an epic showdown of macho men and fearless heroines.

Wiener Is Coming: 'Game Of Thrones' Showrunners Reveal Why Jon Snow Has A Tiny Penis
With more T&A than a Westworld orgy, HBO's #GameofThrones certainly isn't afraid to give us the odd dickslap now and then to give audiences their fill of willies in Westeros. However, the length of a certain King in the North's manhood has come into question of late, in a turn of events that would make even the pallid skin of a White Walker blush.

No Bay, No How: Michael Bay Wants 'Transformers; To Go R-Rated
There is no denying that #MichaelBay has crafted a mean rock 'em sock 'em rumble by bringing us the eighth highest grossing film series of all time with his #Transformers movies. However, as the man behind the machines walks away and we branch out into a Bumblebee prequel, alongside the untold potential of a franchise that may never stop, where do we go next? We have already seen the dire acting of Megan Fox, ridden the back of robo-dinosaurs, and are currently preparing for one of the strangest Anthony Hopkins roles to date in #TheLastKnight, but Bay apparently has some dark plans for the future.

The Night Is Long: 'Game Of Thrones' Is Getting An Extra Long Season Premiere
There are no "Thrones" about it, the world of #GeorgeRRMartin has been violently brought to life since 2011 with HBO's #GameofThrones. Now, with only two seasons left, our march into the frosty depths of winter is well underway and we are sadly counting down the remaining episodes until "Valar Morghulis" (all men must die). We have already been punished with an extended wait between the explosive Season 6 finale and Season 7's upcoming start date, but it looks like Game of Thrones is upping the ante (and the runtime) when it returns.

A 'Royals' Embarrassment: Lorde Compares Taylor Swift Friendship To 'An Autoimmune Disease'
Now, I'm no Hollywood starlet, but I am pretty sure when you're a multi-millionaire pop-star, comparing your relationship with other equally privileged members of the glitterati to an autoimmune disease is a good way to lose fans fast. Given your luxurious lifestyle and standing in the community, making light of those who are afflicted or less fortunate than you isn't exactly a clever move. We are of course talking about a recent interview with "Royals" singer #Lorde and a major case of foot in mouth!

It's Good To Be Bad: 'The Walking Dead' Showrunner Confirms Rick And Negan Aren't That Different
AMC's #TheWalkingDead is shuffling toward its war-torn eighth season, and the network is promising that the fight is far from over yet. While ratings may take a knock, TWD will always be known for making great #comicbook villains. Whether it be a man with an eyepatch, a woman who talks in riddles, or a Comedian from Watchmen practicing his best baseball swing, there is always somebody to boo and hiss at.

If You Go Down To The Woods Today: Greg Nicotero Shares Cryptic Video From 'The Walking Dead' Season 8
Can you smell that? No, it isn't what The Rock is cooking, it is the stench of undead corpses rambling toward us. As we sit grave-watching for Season 8 of AMC's #TheWalkingDead to return, we are currently in that barren slump where news travels about as fast as it does in the zombie apocalypse.

I'm In No Rush: Geoffrey Rush Speaks Out On That HUGE 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' Twist
Yo, ho, whoa! #JohnnyDepp is back and the #PiratesoftheCaribbean series is off on another swashbuckling adventure with Dead Men Tell No Tales. From the tiny raft of 2003's The Curse of the Black Pearl, we have built ourselves a veritable fleet of films and one hell of a franchise over the past 14 years. We may be able to already spy more films on the horizon, but the worry now is that the entire Pirates franchise rests on the swaying shoulders of a drunken Jack Sparrow.

Ready and 'Roaring' to Go: 'Godzilla' Sequel Officially Begins Production and Shows off Impressive Cast
Prepare for another monster mash washing in from the shores of Japan, because Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are thinking big as #Godzilla2 has officially started production. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2014's reboot blockbuster, the tentatively titled Godzilla: King of the Monsters hopes to expand the tale of our reptilian overlord and his city-destroying ways. While only Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins (sorry Cranston) will be returning from the first film, we now know that there are more than enough big name stars to keep us excited.

Do The Hokey Chokey: 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Trailer Reveals A Huge Spoiler For Cersei
With the Seven Kingdoms coming together once more and the Wicked Witch in the Westeros currently sitting pretty on the Iron Throne, it can only mean one thing: #GameofThrones is returning. As the last two seasons of HBO's fantasy epic wind to a "chilly" conclusion, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are setting up #LenaHeadey's Cersei Lannister to be the finale villain — well, apart from the hordes of frozen zombies, that is!

On Your Marks, Get Fett, Go: Star Wars Actor Daniel Logan Tries Classic Boba Fett Suit
There are two types of #StarWars fans: those who love #BobaFett, and those who think the metal menace is one quip away from being Jar Jar Binks. Quite how one man with five lines became so popular is alongside "Who shot first?" as one of the biggest Star War mysteries out there.
