No More Monkey Business: Matt Reeves Says 'The Batman' Is His New Apes Franchise
It sounds like it is time to stop "monkeying" around, as Matt Reeves is ready to move on from War for the Planet of the Apes and turn his attention to The Batman. Swapping simians for bats, the director is finally on track to unfurl the Dark Knight's wings and bring us the first #Batman solo film since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. However, although #MattReeves will be putting his own stamp on the DC staple, it sounds like he will be taking some heavy influence from his two Apes films to bring #TheBatman to life.

A Fresh Cup Of Joe(y): Insane Theory Says 'Friends' Was A Starbucks Marketing Ploy
Even 13 years after we left Monica's apartment and shuffled off that lumpy sofa at Central Perk, you can still guarantee that Friends fan theories will "be there for you." Alongside Ross being a bad father, a real Joey Tribbiani, and a meth-addled Phoebe Buffay, tinfoil hat theorists have another doozy to remind us why the show was so great in the first place.

'Stranger Things' Star David Harbour Reveals He Almost Quit Acting — But Here's Why He Came Back
With a starring role as Chief Jim Hopper on Stranger Things — plus his new leading part in the Hellboy reboot — David Harbour has had what any other actor would consider a successful career, but he didn't always feel that way.

Milo Ventimiglia Has A Response To 'This Is Us' Fans Demanding To Know How Jack Dies
Cliffhanger endings tend to make fans a little nuts. The Walking Dead infuriated viewers last year by making us wait months to discover which character(s) Negan killed — and decades before that, Dallas fans wanted to know who shot J.R. Ewing.

A 'Titanic' Cock-Up: Remembering The Time That James Cameron Nearly Made A Spider-Man Movie
While we may be currently caught in the web of Tom Holland and the MCU's reboot of Spider-Man, it is easy to forget that the friendly neighborhood hero has been a staple of the Marvel universe for the past 55 years. Most will only think of the Sam Raimi trilogy, which started in 2002, and Marc Webb's "Amazing" series from 2012, but Spidey's history in film stretches back much farther than #SpiderManHomecoming. Jon Watts may be the man behind the current era of Parker and pals, but there was a time when others were spinning a web of ideas round #SpiderMan — in particular, a certain Mr. #JamesCameron.

Do you feel that? My blockbuster sense is tingling!

Neddy, Steady, Go: Crazy 'Game Of Thrones' Theory Says Ned Stark Is Alive
One surefire way to be classed as dead on any TV show is to lose your head and have it placed on a pike for millions of viewers to see. While Prison Break pulled the old head switcheroo for Dr. Tancredi, we are pretty sure that Ned Stark losing his noggin on HBO's #GameofThrones was a finite demise. The noble Hand of the King lost his life (and his melon) in Season 1's "Baelor" to the open-mouthed awe of audiences everywhere.

Hold The Slaw: Hodor Is Back From The Dead In KFC's 'Game Of Thrones' Ad
HBO's Game of Thrones has never been afraid of a culling its own population, but Season 6 of the Ice and Fire saga really took the biscuit. As we waved goodbye to the rotten Ramsay, majestic Margaery, and tragic Tommen, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss really brought the feels when they gave gentle Hodor the axe.
