Peter Park-Phwoar: Sexy Spider-Man Shoot Shows That He Isn't So Incy Wincy!
Spiders aren't exactly sexy, and neither is Peter Parker. Alongside the likes of Superman's Man of Steel abs and Thor's flowing golden hair, #Marvel's #SpiderMan is hardly a sex symbol — until now, that is. A new photoshoot is showing us just how sexy your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man really can be, rocking the whole Clark Kent vibe and giving us a peek under that red and blue lycra. Photographer Sarah Hester gives us another sexy dudeoir shoot that stops just short of #PeterParker covering us in his sticky white fluid.

Got Wood? Margot Robbie And Bryan Cranston Reveal Their Favorite Movie Sex Scenes
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals, and it appears that neither are the Hollywood glitterati. Nothing spices up a good film like a well-placed sex scene to get things steamy. However, with an awkwardly placed merkin and an odd looking prosthetic peen, even with all the advances in CGI and camera trickery, Hollywood tends to make a shambles of a scene. It always seems that it is the stars of such sweaty romps are the first to complain, because yeah, rubbing your face in Kate Winslet's bosom must be so tiring.

From 'Star Wars' to 'Overwatch': These Fan Films Will Leave You Wanting More
YouTube is a magical place for those of us in the modern day. There are days where YouTube seems to be one of the best places to go if you want to sit on your couch, grab a bag of popcorn, and a large cup of soda. The reward is outstanding at times and what you will witness even more so.

Just As We Suspected, 'Game Of Thrones' Battles Are Even Better When You Add Lightsabers
Game of Thrones and Star Wars are both known for their fan-favorite characters, an incredible attention to detail and expansive world-building. With that, it's surprising that there aren't more fan-made crossovers between the two. Although the franchises share a number of actors (Gwendoline Christie, Julian Glover and Max von Sydow to name a few), fans of the Seven Kingdoms and the galaxy far, far away now have even more reason to crossover thanks to video editors that have lovingly given our favorite Westerosi characters their own lightsabers.
