The Magnificent Seven is a film that has always been a favorite of mine. I remember watching it for the first time, solely out of boredom.

When Fantasy Football Meets Captain Marvel and Deadpool!
Fantasy Football is a hobby that in the Fall usurps a major chunk of my time from video games and movies.

You're Damned If Yondu, You're Damned If Yondon't: Why James Gunn Was Unhappy with 'Guardians Vol. 2' Ending
We laughed, we danced, and we cried as #JamesGunn's #GaurdiansoftheGalaxy2 took us on another intergalactic bounty hunt and the search for Star-Lord's daddy. Away from #ChrisPratt and Zoe Saldana's Ross/Rachel love affair, an all too cute Baby Groot, and enough post-credits scenes to fill a galaxy, we also got a surprisingly emotional farewell to #MichaelRooker's Yondu.
