'Sand' And Deliver: 'Game Of Thrones' Actress Almost Vanished From Season 7
While the fantasy epic that is Game of Thrones may get caught up in superb plots of frozen zombies, humungous dragons, and incest queens, let's take a moment to remember those arcs that don't fly quite so well. From Ayra's trip to Braavos, anything that involves Sam and Gilly, or that Dornish yawnfest from Season 5, HBO can sure drop some clangers when they want.

Murder He Wrote: ‘Game of Thrones’ Video Recaps All 150,000 of the Show's Deaths
You'd better put down your lunch, because boy do we have a gory story for you. Fans of HBO's Ice and Fire saga will know that murder is the bread and butter of #GameofThrones. Alongside some incestuous bonking and #KitHarington grumpily musing into the distance, having a steady stream of blood is what keeps Thrones flowing.

Who's Your Daddy: 'The Predator' Star Confirms Major Links To The Original Franchise
Prepare to be hunted, because Shane Black's The Predator is coming for you. Part reboot, part sequel, the dreadlocked dangers are back on our screens for the first standalone film since 2010's Predators. While we aren't expecting Arnold Schwarzenegger to pilot a helicopter in for the film's finale and bellow his infamous "choppa" line, it sounds like #ShaneBlack is at least taking the previous films into account.

Bulking Not Sulking: Josh Brolin Shows Off His Insane New Cable Physique
We all know that the older you get, the harder it is to keep in shape. Those two-day hangovers and that middle-aged spread when you might add a tire (or two) to the midriff are hard to avoid — well, not if you are #JoshBrolin. In addition to playing the Mad Titan #Thanos over in the #MCU, he is practicing his best potty mouth to suit up as Nathan Summers, a.k.a. #Cable, in #Deadpool2.

Not Feeling 'So Low' Anymore: Disney CEO Assures Us 'Han Solo' Isn't Doomed
While Darth Vader himself may find "your lack of faith disturbing," directly quoting the Sith Lord certainly seems apt if you have been reading anything about the troubled Han Solo spin-off of late. With a mad scramble to save whatever dignity the film has left, Kathleen Kennedy and co. are trying to rouse a rogue squadron of talent to rescue the production. It's been a rough week for Lucasfilm: After flying solo without directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Disney also isn't happy with Alden Ehrenreich's performance as the titular lead.

Hellboy Hath No Fury: 'Hellboy' Reboot Is 'Taking The Cuffs Off' For Bloody R-Rating
There is something about a horned demon taking on foes like vampires, Nazis, and even Rasputin himself that just screams R-rating. While #GuillermodelToro brought us his own fantastical take on #MikeMignola's #Hellboy series back in 2004, there is no denying that it was more of a family affair than its red-soaked origins on the page. Although Del Toro returned for the 2008 sequel, we sadly never got a third film, an R-rating, or #RonPerlman playing Big Red in live-action ever again.

You Must Be Quazy: James Gunn Teases a Huge New Character for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'
We may not know a lot when it comes to #JamesGunn's next #GuardiansoftheGalaxy film, but you can sure expect a supernova of stars to blast off into the cosmos for our third space rodeo. We already saw that "Sly" dog #SylvesterStallone round up the "old" Guardians in one of Vol. 2's many post-credits scenes, but don't expect those guys to be the focus of #JamesGunn's third entry in his trilogy.

The (Bat)Man Of The Moment: Ben Affleck Is 100% Playing Bruce Wayne In 'The Batman'
Gotham City is once again lighting up its Bat Signal in hopes that the Caped Crusader will come to save the day. Sure, the #DCEU may not have had an easy ride in the Batmobile, while the upcoming #Batman solo film has had a tougher time than most. From #BenAffleck's departure as director to Matt Reeves coming on board, then leaving, then returning, you need your own sophisticated Batcomputer to keep track of what is going on.

A Man, A Plan, A Jar Of Pickles: AMC Teases Eugene's Loyalty With Cryptic 'The Walking Dead' Post
Alongside the question of how he keeps that mullet so manageable, the allegiance of Josh McDermitt's Eugene Porter is one of the biggest mysteries currently on AMC's The Walking Dead. Our pickle-loving genius currently finds himself wielding a double-edged sword of loyalty and lies. Although he is firmly in Camp Negan as the Savior's left-hand man, Season 7 of the #zombie apocalypse also closed with #JeffreyDeanMorgan's character questioning those closest to him.

Gods Walk Among Us: 'Wonder Woman' Star Confirms Huge Fan Theory
With #PattyJenkins and #GalGadot still ruling the superhero roost with #WonderWoman, there is no sign of the female-first powerhouse slowing down. After lassoing a tidy $300 million at the box office, you can forget rusty robots and soggy pirates, Diana, princess of Themyscira, is still all anyone is talking about.

Time To 'Wright' The Wrongs: Robin Wright Set To Quit 'House Of Cards' And Acting Over Unfair Pay
If you are a murderous and deceitful (fictional) President of the United States, it is easy to imagine that there isn't much that terrifies you. However, in the case of #KevinSpacey as Frank Underwood, there is one person who strikes fear into the hidden heart of the corrupt politician. For four seasons of #HouseofCards, we have watched #RobinWright rule the roost as the fiery Claire Underwood, Frank's career and bedroom opposition.
