Should Disney Re-Hire James Gunn?
It would seem that the Guardians of the Galaxy have James Gunn's back. Gunn, who was ousted from the third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise over tweets he made a decade ago which apparently had pedophilia and rape as the subject, was fired a couple of weeks ago. At the time, Walt Disney Studios chair Alan Horn called the tweets "indefensible" and "inconsistent" with Disney's values, and Gunn, who directed the first two installments of the Guardians of the Galaxy, said he understood the business decision that Disney had made in firing him.

Johnny Depp - a Survivor, and a Hero
Johnny Depp—actor, musician and humanitarian extraordinaire—is a powerful force who never stops evolving. He is just as relevant today as he was back when Edward Scissorhands hit the silver screen and people really saw what this "pretty boy" could do. Having broken out of the mold of formula, teen magazines, and 21 Jump Street, which of course gave him his start, Johnny made his own way after Edward Scissorhands's success. Since then, he has never stopped. Like Alice Cooper, he is yet another Energizer Bunny. Whether it's a new movie, a tour with the Hollywood Vampires, or a turn onstage playing guitar with a band he's friends with... Johnny Depp just keeps going. You can't keep a good man down.

Top 8 UK Youtubers
8- The True Geordie The undisputed king of the north, this Newcastle United fan rose to popularity after a brutally honest video he made on Nile Ranger following some comments the ex-Newcastle striker made on the fans. Gaining thousands of views overnight, he decided to set up a channel and has been making various videos ever since. Brian is probably more known for his extremely entertaining podcasts on which he has had guests such as Eddie Hall, KSI, and even Robbie Williams! If there is any Youtuber that deserves to have a million subs, it's this guy.

Why Are You Ranking: Best Ways That Lindsay Lohan Is the Metaphor for America From Her Reckless to Her Most Beautiful Points
Once a darling of the cinema, actress Lindsay Lohan has experienced both the crests and the doldrums of her profession. Through bizarre run-ins with paparazzi to drug and alcohol abuse, to her romantic life being displayed on supermarket magazine covers, Miss Lohan still continues to work, although without as much fanfare or adulation. From her time as an adorable kid actor on the updated version of the The Parent Trap (1998) to the silly but profitable picture Freaky Friday (2003), Lohan was a Disney princess come to life. And of course, arguably her crowning achievement in her career, Mean Girls (2004) sent her into the film world stratosphere. But then, something happened. Or rather, nothing related to her film career happened. Sure, she came back home to Disney with Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) but her other projects thereafter fizzled or didn’t live up to the critical or commercial expectations that her previous work had garnered. And this is the metaphor for the Decline of the American Empire. The most ethical (not to say that Miss Lohan has the highest moral standards), beautiful, young, and promising nation to ever grace the face of the planet earth has been on the downslope even before current President Trump swore the oath of office. As the descent of a starlet turned bad girl and now treated like a red-headed step child that you keep locked away in the basement, Lohan is America. For over a century, while the nation has experienced great technological strides, it has tumbled back by the axis powers of mysticism, collectivism, and altruism. It is not too late for either Miss Lohan or America. The one-time ingénue and the most moral country in human history have room enough for a comeback. Lindsay Lohan doesn’t seem headed for major collapse with her recent string of independent films and America doesn’t look like Rome during its period of downtrend. There’s hope. So, go look up the word fetch in the Urban Dictionary for Why Are You Ranking: Best Ways That Lindsay Lohan Is the Metaphor for America From Her Reckless to Her Beautiful Points.

Who Is Timothée Chalamet?
Who is Timothée? Timothée was born on December 27th, 1995 and was raised in Hells Kitchen, NYC. He has a French father and so he traveled to France very often. He is fluent in the language too! Timothée's family is very artistic so he grew up being exposed to acting. He went to LaGuardia High School, a school of the arts, where he acted in plays with now-famous Ansel Elgort. His first notable role was in Miss Stevens with fellow popular actress Lili Reinhart from the hit TV show Riverdale. Timothée grew up like any other New York City kid until he shot to fame in the past two years.

Kylie Jenner Accepts Handouts From Fans?
Kylie Jenner at 20 years old is on the forefront of becoming the world's youngest billionaire. While we don't want to dim Kylie's shine people have been making statements constantly about the legitimacy of Kylie's fortune. Yes, of course, she made every single dollar she's earned, however, people question if Jenner's success was a self-made success.

Why ScarJo’s Choice to Play a Trans Man Really Is an Issue
I absolutely do not support Scarlett Johansson playing a trans man. I will not ever support a cis actor in a trans role, but I will not support her playing Dante “Tex” Gill in Rub and Tug and dismissing it on the grounds that other actors have done the same.

Ingmar Bergman
Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's 100th birthday is coming up on July 14 and what better way to celebrate him than to reflect upon his work. Bergman started out as theater director before transitioning over into film directing, though he had always had a knack for the magic of the silver screen. He talks about how when he was young, he had received a magic lantern projector for Christmas and became enamored with the short animated film that came with it, sticking with him throughout his life.
