Gilmore Girls has never been a show about perfection. If anything, it is largely about the juxtaposition between the cliched storybook town of Stars Hollow, and the complex, flawed individuals who serve as its residents. And of course, the primary focus is on the titular Gilmore girls, young mother Lorelai and her daughter Rory trying to navigate life in Stars Hollow and beyond. That’s exactly what has always made Gilmore Girls so relatable....

Godzilla: King of the Monsters viral website, Monarch Sciences, is possibly teasing King Ghidorah’s original defeat. It’s been speculated that Godzilla and King Ghidorah are ancient rivals who have clashed more than once in the history of Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse. After all, King Ghidorah has always been known as one of Godzilla’s arch-villains. Directed by Michael Dougherty, the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla will bring three classic Toho monsters into Warner Bros....

There are few games more immediately visually appealing than Guacamelee! 2. The sequel to DrinkBox Studio’s original game, Guacamelee! 2 is everything that made the first game great. It’s bright, cheerful and continues to capitalize on the great gameplay mix of a Metroidvania meets a beat-em-up. It’s been a long time for Guacamelee! 2 to not only release but hit other consoles but that wait has been well worth it....

Who should replace James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3? Gunn has become an immediately-recognized name in recent years, writing and directing the hugely popular Guardians of the Galaxy movies. He’s become synonymous with the characters, to the extent that Gunn wrote dialogue for the Guardians for Avengers: Infinity War and next year’s Avengers 4. He’s recently finished the script for Guardians Vol. 3, which was intended to set up the next decade’s worth of Marvel movies....

Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t even begun yet (Captain America: Civil War is its first chapter) but Marvel movie fans have already been trained to ask, think about, and speculate upon Phase 4. There are nine movies before we even get there, but curiosity for shared universes and long-form stories - still a young but exploding Hollywood phenomenon - is seemingly unavoidable. That’s why when directors Anthony and Joe Russo, who helmed Civil War and who are already work on concluding Phase 3 with Avengers: Infinity War in 2018-19, are interviewed (our latest here and here) they cannot avoid talking about the long-term future....

How many times has every main hero died in the Dragon Ball franchise? Death has been a common occurrence in the Dragon Ball franchise ever since the original anime, which saw several key characters meet their ends. Death became even more common in Dragon Ball Z, when a significant chunk of the main cast was killed by Nappa in the Saiyan Saga. By the end of Dragon Ball Z, nearly character had died at least once, due to Kid Buu’s attack that destroyed Earth....

Denis Villeneuve is planning on making at least two Dune movies. The acclaimed filmmaker is quickly becoming the go-to director in Hollywood - and deservedly so after his astounding critical success with films such as Prisoners, Sicario, and Arrival. While each of those movies were well-regarded and successful in their own ways, perhaps Villeneuve’s most impressive achievement thus far was creating a worthy sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic 1982 Blade Runner film, Blade Runner 2049....

There’s bad news for Fallout fans: Obsidian Entertainment has dashed hopes of Fallout: New Vegas 2. Moving the apocalyptic wasteland to the neon-clad world of New Vegas, the popular main series spin-off has become a cult classic in Fallout circles thanks to its unique storyline and colorful cast of characters. Despite hitting consoles and PC in 2010, Fallout: New Vegas still grabs headlines thanks to gamers beating the game with just a pair of boxing gloves or being able to play as The Walking Dead’s Negan....

Fargo is about to start it third season on FX. The anthology show, based upon the Coen brothers’ movie of the same name, will take us back to 2010, where brothers Ray and Emmit Stussy find themselves in over their heads. With both roles being played by Ewan McGregor, Fargo season three promises to be an intriguing prospect - and an earlier first look at McGregor in the role of Ray, showed him as a barely recognizable, pot-bellied, balding man with a rather nice car....

With the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones not releasing for another year, Maisie Williams may have hinted that Arya Stark will, in fact, survive the finale. A vague image she posted on Instagram has since sparked speculation about the possible spoiler. With the primary focus of the series winding down to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), character fates are impossible to predict....

Whatever opinions people might have of Game of Thrones’ final season, there’s no denying that the entire fandom is eagerly awaiting the release of the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, titled Winds of Winter. Game of Thrones fans frustrated with the way the show wrapped up are looking to George R.R. Martin to reclaim and do justice to the beloved story, while those content with the show’s conclusion look forward to reading a more fleshed-out version....

Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has explained how Daenerys’ dragon Drogon was able to burn down King’s Landing on Game of Thrones. When he’s not probing the mysteries of the universe, Tyson spends his time spreading the gospel of science via his Star Talk podcast as well as frequent guest appearances on talk shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Sometimes, Tyson also chimes in on popular culture, with a specific emphasis on scientific accuracy (or lack thereof) in movies and TV....

With the game console market in a state of unprecedented flux as Sony and Microsoft both plan to release upgraded versions of their Xbox One and Playstation 4 devices sooner than anyone had expected, the industry’s eyes are currently also fixed on Nintendo and their still largely-mysterious new device, Nintendo Switch. A modular console that converts from a home TV-based machine to a handheld portable, it’s being seen as a potential game-changer and a sink-or-swim moment for the veteran Japanese gaming giant....

After some brutal early reviews for the movie, Rotten Tomatoes has revealed a “rotten” 35% score for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass. Shyamalan’s latest arrives two years after his last movie Split, starring James McAvoy as a man with multiple personalities who kidnaps a group of school girls, revived the director’s reputation while grossing $278 million at the global box office. In addition to providing classic Shyamalan thrills, Split also contained one of the director’s signature twists, when Bruce Willis’ David Dunn character from Shyalaman’s Unbreakable showed up for a brief cameo....

A new deleted scene from Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War reveals that Jon Favreau’s character Happy Hogan was indeed supposed to be in the film. Many characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe appeared in the third Avengers installment, but Happy wasn’t one of them. Favreau had a helping hand in crafting the beginning of Marvel’s long-running film series. Iron Man was the first entry in the cinematic universe, which Favreau directed and he also appeared in as the character Happy Hogan....

Solo: A Star Wars Story has a big fan in none other than Harrison Ford. The living legend is synonymous with the character of Han Solo, portraying the smuggler four times in the franchise. Obviously, a younger actor was required to fill Ford’s shoes for the spinoff/prequel, and a rather extensive search ended with Alden Ehrenreich securing the role. Without question, his performance is going to be highly scrutinized by fans, but fortunately early word is the youngster succeeds in doing the material justice....
