The title, while not quite accurate, sums up the little spider above. It’s official name is Eriovixia gryffindori, a new species discovered in India. Its scientific name was inspired by House Gryffindor, one of the four Houses that make up Hogwarts, from the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling.
1.Fox Remembered Way Too Late That These Characters Were Based On Comicbooks If you recall The original X-Men movie their costumes were black leather, which was probably done because the producers thought that audiences wouldn’t accept superheroes in all their technicolor, spandex-clad glory. And at the time, they were probably right. Though times change–though thankfully not […]
I can’t wait to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, partially because Tom Holland gave a winning, enthusiastic performance in Captain America: Civil War, but also because the movie is being produced by Marvel Studios along with Sony Pictures, which at least holds out the hope that he will be treated more faithfully than has recently been in […]
With Netlix enabling subscribers the ability to download content it brings to mind more questions than answers. For instance, I assume downloaded content must ‘expire’ after a certain period of time.

Speaking of Zelda, she recently released a video from her base on Mars denying any involvement with or connection to the Trump […]
For awhile it seemed as if everything Johnny Depp appeared in turned to gold. From Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest in 2006 to Alice In Wonderland in 2010, it seemed as if he could do no wrong. Then came Dark Shadows–an ironic title if there ever was one–based on the gothic soap opera […]
Of course the production isn’t (though the headline probably grabbed your attention, if only because it’s so asinine) though it’s shaping up to be a particularly troubled one. First, Seth Grahame-Smith left due to ‘creative differences’–a term that is so vague that it could literally mean just about anything–now according to Comicbook.com his replacement, Rick […]
