What was the giant Titan skeleton shown at the beginning of 2014’s Godzilla? It was established in the first installment in the MonsterVerse that giant monsters called Titans have existed on Earth for thousands of years, and in the sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it was stated that the planet belonged to the Titans long before it ever belonged to the humans. In the beginning of Godzilla, Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and other Monarch scientists are seen walking through the skeleton of an ancient Titan found in the Philippines....

Godzilla was even taller in Godzilla: King of the Monsters than he was during the events in San Francisco in the previous film - but why is he bigger and how does his new size compare to other versions of Gojira? When Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla reboot released in theaters in 2014, the version of the iconic kaiju from Legendary Pictures was one of the tallest versions ever - coming in at 108 meters (355 ft....

Goku is typically the strongest hero in Dragon Ball, but that may change in the next anime, thanks to Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Dragon Ball is full of incredibly strong heroes who are always gaining in power, and Goku is usually at the head of the pack. The Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z shifted away from this, by positioning his teenage son, Gohan, as Dragon Ball’s strongest character, but as Gohan slacked off on his training, the series returned to the status quo, and its remained that way ever since....

More on that option later. Here are a few easy formulas to make the most out of Google Sheets....

It’s long been known that the King Kong reboot, Kong: Skull Island, would be a part of Warner Bros. and Legendary Studio’s planned monsters shared universe, incorporating Skull Island into the same continuity as as Gareth Edwards’s 2014 Godzilla reboot. But as marketing for the film originally kicked in, there was little evidence of the planned crossover. Granted the universe is young, and most crossovers will likely be saved for the inevitable Godzilla vs King Kong movie down the road, but up to this point, the only people aware that these movies exist in the same universe are fans that have been following the news from Legendary Studios....

In total, there were over 70 Friday night dinners by the time Gilmore Girls came to a close....

[viddler id=a66cf352 w=704 h=400] Update: Apple responds.

Zombie master George Romero’s Day of the Dead was a great film, but it could’ve been even better, as his original script was truly epic. While he’s sadly no longer among the living, nobody did more to create the modern zombie genre than Romero. He all but invented the zombie, and did invent how we know it today, with 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead. He then topped himself with 1978’s Dawn of the Dead, which many fans consider the best zombie movie ever....
