I’ve tried to concentrate on working actors over celebrities (for example, I didn’t include Britney Spears)....

Mrs. Doubtfire Would Eventually Decide Robin Williams' Role In The Birdcage Robin Williams is known for flamboyant, larger-than-life characters that might break into dance or operatic song at any given moment. Throughout the early ’90s, Williams breathed life into some of his quirkiest characters, including Euphegenia Doubtfire and the Genie. Parts of those roles called for more serious moments, but the majority of the films showed the actor’s silly, boisterous side, which is in part why he was tapped for “The Birdcage....

Paul Bettany Doesn’t Think He’s Done As Vision In The MCU I don’t want to imagine a Marvel Cinematic Universe where we don’t have a Vision. I think, particularly after “WandaVision,” he’s the heart of the MCU. But the old guard seems to be departing, and with the Young Avengers (not confirmed, but really?) appearing all over the place, we may just lose him, too. Perhaps not yet, though. Obviously there are spoilers ahead for Vision’s fate, so be warned....

The Book Of Boba Fett Promo Promises To Fill In The Blanks After Return Of The Jedi When Boba Fett made his long-awaited return in “The Mandalorian” season 2, it was an exciting if confusing development, given that he was last seen being munched down on by the Sarlacc in"Return of the Jedi.“The old “Star Wars” Expanded Universe, aka Star Wars Legends, provided an explanation for Boba’s miraculous escape from the Great Pit of Carkoon and explored what he got up in the years that came after, but those stories were erased from the official canon after Disney finalized its purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012....

The Famous Ghostbusters Moment That Was Not In The Original Script The original “Ghostbusters” is arguably one of the most quotable movies of the 1980s – which is strange to think about, considering it’s a movie about a bunch of slacker scientists who sort of stumble their way into discovering a way to capture ghosts in New York City. Among the film’s many memorable lines is “don’t cross the streams,” a crucial piece of info that Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) gives to his ghostbusting pals and which comes back to save the day at the end of the film....

This Hellraiser Scene Hit Fans The Hardest Based on his 1986 novel “The Hellbound Heart,“Clive Barker’s 1987 film “Hellraiser” is one of the best and most striking horror films of its decade. Predicated on lust, infidelity, and supernatural acts of sadomasochism, “Hellraiser” plays like a blood-soaked, myth-heavy rendition of Walt Whitman’s “I Sing the Body Electric,” wherein flesh is the only gauge by which one measures divinity. Or, in the case of “Hellraiser,” demonic interior....
