'James Bond' Producer Barbara Broccoli Says 007 Could Be A Woman In The Future
For over 50 years, Agent 007 James Bond has been lead by a strong set of male actors. Much like the Gallifreyan Doctor Who, the question of whether or not a female could take over has recently been asked of James Bond. Little has been said about the series since Daniel Craig reprised his role in Spectre in 2015. The actor could even be returning in another James Bond film sooner than we think.

I'll Never Let Go: James Cameron Is Being Sued By The Real Jack Dawson From 'Titanic'
Near, far, wherever, you are, I'm sure you will remember #JamesCameron's #Titanic. A buxom #KateWinslet standing tall at the front of the doomed ship, #LeonardoDiCaprio's fresh-faced whimsy, and pausing the VCR just at the right moment to get a shot of Kate's "first class accommodation." There is little wonder that Titanic is still up there with highest-grossing films of all time and boasts being one of the most ambitious Hollywood projects ever.

Fan Theory: Could 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Be Just One Massive Series Of Visions?
For many, Game of Thrones has been a refreshing addition to their television watching experience, and Season 7 has given fans plenty to be excited about: Jon's heritage revelation, the Starks reunited, Gendry's return and of course a sky filled with dragons.

A Not So Happy Meal: How McDonald's Destroyed 'Batman Returns' And Cost Tim Burton His Job
Way back when, when Happy Meals didn't include a fruit bag and an educational toy (possibly an abacus), the McDonald's fun box was a staple of any kid's birthday party. When tied in with the fad of the time, you could find anything from a Beanie Baby to a Lion King toy lurking under your MSG fries and chicken-mush nuggets.
