Ape-solutely Fabulous: Dwayne Johnson Isn't Monkeying Around In First Picture From 'Rampage'
Let's get ready to rumble, because #DwayneJohnson is poised to rock 'em and sock 'em in the upcoming #Rampage film. After decades of trying to level up the formula to create a great video game movie, can Brad Peyton finally do it with Rampage? Sure, we have had Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and even Angry Birds, but the genre is mired in the likes of Assassin's Creed and Bob Hoskins playing Super Mario.

Floating The Idea: Stephen King Explains How He Created Pennywise In 'It'
Horror hound #StephenKing certainly wasn't "clowning around" when he wrote It, his nightmare-inducing novel about clowns, in 1986. The book had something of resurgence thanks to ABC's miniseries in 1990, which famously starred Tim Curry as #Pennywise the dancing clown.

War, What Is It Good For: Chris Pratt Says 'Infinity War' Will Be A Timeless Classic
Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, Alien — now they are what you call timeless classics of Hollywood. Unfortunately, there aren't many (if any) #superhero films that you can call a classic. Sure, the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man 2, X-Men, and even The Avengers are pretty good, but rarely do we tread into the lauded territory of The Dark Knight, and even then, can you really call it a superhero film? We all know the recent acclaim of James Mangold's Logan, however, he was overly keen to cement that his noir western was anything but a superhero film.

Marion Cotillard Isn't A Fan Of Her Bat-Death, But These 6 On-Screen Deaths Are Much Worse!
Sacré bleu, why can't people just let dead dogs/bats lie? Some call it the worst death for one of the best films in recent times, and seeing Marion Cotillard's Miranda Tate shake her head and slip into death in the third of the Nolanverse #Batman films is still a real blunder. Even in the four years since it came out, the scene hasn't exactly aged well — it almost makes you wish you could shake your head to death too!

I'll Reserve-oir Judgement: Wes Craven Once Walked Out Of 'Reservoir Dogs'
Horror and gore sometimes go hand in hand, but apparently it takes more than some corn syrup and food coloring to impress horror aficionado #WesCraven — something that #QuentinTarantino still seems a little bitter about to this day. Craven was the sire of the slashers, while Tarantino is the viscount of violence, and together the duo arguably make the godfathers of gore. There are a million and one ways to separate the two's directing styles, and at least back in 1992, Craven wasn't a fan of their differing takes on gore in theaters.

Turning Over A New Heath: Where Has Heath Gone In 'The Walking Dead'?
Put down your packet of freeze-dried apocalypse food and pay attention, Episode 6 of The Walking Dead's seventh season wasn't actually that bad! Connecting the dots in a complicated web of characters like in a Ryan Murphy show, "Swear" saw the return of Heath and Tara — yeah, we forgot they existed too.

The Dark Side Of The Comics: 'Secret Empire' Writer Compares Evil Captain America To 'Star Wars'
Controversy is currently rife on the pages of #Marvel comic books as we "hail" a new era for Steve Rogers. The #superhero powerhouse is currently rocked by the rather controversial #SecretEmpire storyline and the frankly perplexing reveal that not only is #CaptainAmerica an agent of the nefarious Hydra, he has also always been this way. It is safe to say that the plot hasn't only divided fans of the Sentinel of Liberty, but has left most falling on the side of "WTF is this?"

Feed 'Em To The Dogs: Quentin Tarantino Reunites 'Reservoir Dogs' Cast For 25th Anniversary
It was clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right as acclaimed director #QuentinTarantino reunited the cast of #ReservioirDogs some 25 years after the film hit cinemas. While the cast may have swapped their black suits and sunglasses for more relaxed attire, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, and Michael Madsen were all in attendance alongside Tarantino. Together, the cast made a veritable rainbow in their roles as Mr. Pink, Mr. Orange, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, and Mr. Brown.

Did You See-3PO The Star Wars Easter Egg In 'Westworld'?
Set your guns to "stunned," as you are about to be bowled over when the worlds of Westworld and Star Wars combine. "What?" you cry. Is Dr. Ford creating a robotic Death Star, has Dolores Wood starting wearing her hair in buns, or is Bernard Lowe also really a wookiee? In a universe populated by robots, it was only a matter of time before someone drew comparisons with that galaxy far, far away.
