Time To See-'Saw': Is This The First Image Of 'Saw: Legacy'?
The Saw films became a bit of a Halloween tradition — trekking to the cinema to see which "helpless" members of the public would be dispatched in gruesome traps this time. However, after six years and seven films, the traps started to get a little rusty, and the blood ran dry. Now, 12 years after we started the jigsaw puzzle, the franchise is back. Is it a reboot, is it a sequel? No one knows, but we may have just seen the first image from the secret Saw: Legacy set. Check it out after the jump if you really want to see what is going on — let the countdown begin!

On The Edge
"I am an adolescent! No one understands, no one knows my great, sorrowful pain!" Adults are a joke. They wonder and somehow also believe that there is nothing to "get" about a teenagers life. They say "I was you once!" So wistfully and somehow forget what it was like to be whomever they are speaking to. Maybe they just became too cold and calloused. If that's the case then I'd rather never become an adult. I'll trade wisdom and maturity for the ability to sympathize and empathize with those who I "once was." For now I stand where the Lisbon sisters once stood. On the edge. Key in the ignition. Oven on. Noose tied. Pills in hand. I'd leave for things done to me, things no one cared to do, and the genuine fear of what I could become if history repeats. "I'd leave." As if it's as simple as slamming a door and never looking back. It's more like having several large mansion doors dropped on you from several stories high, and simultaneously forcing open doors that were holding back terrors of catastrophic proportions for anyone who might have cared for you in the slightest. It's as simple as opening a bottle in the moment, but the aftermath is as simple as quantum physics. The aftermath of either road is what constantly has me teetering towards either side of this conundrum. Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Decide for yourself the how and when, or leave it up to fate. Either way it hurts people who love you. It becomes a choice of "Do I want to hurt them? Or will it be the random, fate-riddled end that I meet that causes them such great pain?"

Bucky Up Your Ideas: Did Sebastian Stan Confirm He Is The New Captain America?
If you want to "shield" yourself from wild speculation, turn back now, because Sebastian Stan is once again waving Old Glory in front of our faces. We have varying rumors from "now" to "never" on when Chris Evans will shuffle out of the MCU, and even then, it is unlikely to be permanent. However, the hot tip to put on some star-spangled pantaloons when it eventually does happen is Stan's Bucky Barnes.

Robots In Disguise: How Does HBO's 'Westworld' Turn Its Actors Into Robots?
You might be wondering where you have seen the whole "robots in a theme park" story before — and no, it isn't The Simpsons episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land" — but that's because HBO's latest offering, Westworld, is a reimagining of the 1973 film of the same name.
