Hollywood has always been obsessed with sequels. Many people argue that this is a current phenomenon (“movies are nothing but sequels, reboots, and remakes anymore!”), but sequels have been a lucrative business for a long, long time. Even movies that assuredly did not need sequels, like Rocky (back in 1977), spurned entire franchises. And really, has there ever been a movie more ridiculous than Rocky IV? That said, sometimes Hollywood resists....
Not only are the Grey’s Anatomy writers exceptionally talented in the intriguing style that they write the series’ main characters, but they are also skilled at making the patients and passing guest stars very memorable. An important aspect of the series are the patients. Save a handful that receive multiple episode arcs, most patients come and go within one episode. Having such a short period of time to make these minor characters real and interesting enough so that the audience grows to care about their stories, is no easy task....

That all being said, while all the animated features were once marvels, time has not been kind to all of them due to changes in culture and taste....
Like any organization, team, or business, production companies are given budgets for the movies they’re producing. These budgets can cover everything from the actors’ salaries, costumes, set design, digital effects, and more. If the production company does it right, they’ll come in under budget and hopefully make a large profit once the movie hits the box office. But, unlike those movies who correctly managed their expenditures, these 10 movies came in way over budget....
With the rise in popularity of smart TVs and devices like streaming sticks, there have been a ton of new streaming services that have been released.

Game of Thrones is one of the most popular shows of our generation and it will continue to hold that distinction for, well, the remainder of time, really. With every great show comes a whole lot of criticism, though, and the same points tend to be made about Game of Thrones by those that, for lack of a better term, despise it. Fans of the show are going to back it to the hills regardless of what they hear, and blocking out that noise is part a good way forward - in the eyes of some people....

There’s a reason why Disney is such a soothing place for kids. It’s filled with shows and movies that bring our imaginations to life and gives us characters to relate to when we felt like we were unrelatable....

However, he has still given us so many great films that represent some of the best cinematic achievements of all time....
Spider-Man: Far From Home will be the first post-Endgame movie in the MCU, which should give us a lot of answers to the questions we still have about that epic movie.

According to the trailer, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio comes from the multiverse.
