Twitter is an important resource for marketing professionals, but finding your audience on Twitter can be difficult for many marketers. Being active on the platform is crucial, of course, but then you have to focus on sharing valuable content, targeting niche prospects, and more. We are rounding up some of the most powerful and effective marketing tools for Twitter to better help you engage with your audience and grow your fanbase....

Insert a fire-breathing behemoth or a sage-eyed, scaly guardian into a movie or book, and it almost always raises its entertainment value. From wyverns to Naga, Bewilderbeasts to Swedish Short-Snouts, dragons appeal to people of all ages—and why wouldn’t they? They are like better versions of dinosaurs; they’re powerful, and magical, and they sometimes even talk. If the dragon in a film is dull, the filmmakers just aren’t trying hard enough....

The 1970s is an era known for being one of monumental change in the film business. Hollywood started to take risks in the stories that were being told, giving resources to provocative and visionary filmmakers. This decade of interesting projects even extended to the science fiction genre, where bold movies were being made that would change Hollywood forever. The ambition of the stories and the scale of the films produced sci-fi features unlike anything that had previously been seen in Hollywood....

In meta series BH90210, the main cast from the original series Beverly Hills, 90210 play exaggerated versions of themselves (the real actors, not the characters they played) trying to get a reboot of the show off the ground. The first season, which consisted of just six episodes, has left viewers anxious to find out if a second season will be underway. Along with all main cast members, with the exception of the tragically-departed Luke Perry, several other former stars and guest stars from the original show have made appearances....

Although its belated sequel failed to live up to its legacy (mainly because it was so lazily written that Will Smith chose to do Suicide Squad instead), Independence Day remains a classic of blockbuster cinema. Roland Emmerich’s loud, bombastic, action-packed, effects-laden, shamelessly cheesy sci-fi juggernaut is still the alien invasion movie to beat. There’s only one that has Will Smith punching an alien in the face and saying, “Welcome to Earth!...

There have been a number of time-loop movies in recent years, from Edge of Tomorrow to Happy Death Day. As successful as those movies are, they all owe a lot to the original time-loop gem, Groundhog Day. The comedy stars Bill Murray as a cranky weatherman covering the annual Groundhog Day festival but finds himself waking up on the same day over and over. The movie was praised for its inventive and original premise as well as Murray’s pitch-perfect performance....

With Disney slowly taking steps towards acquiring Fox and all of its creative assets, the X-Men movie franchise is about to get shaken up in a major way. There are a couple of upcoming movies of the Fox slate that Disney has confirmed will still get theatrical releases, but after that, Marvel Studios will be free to step in and reshape the franchise how they see fit. A lot of roles may get recast, but the popular characters could get picked out of the ensemble cast and expanded into solo movies....

The final entry in the Skywalker Saga met its fair share of issues in filming and dropped to an incredibly polarising response from critics and fans alike. It was a feast of visuals and non-stop action, but many believe it didn’t do its characters justice and fell flat on a few storylines. The film is also known for its retconning of various moments from the previous films (such as demoting Rose from main character status), but it also has its fair share of inconsistencies and continuity errors....

As a visual platform, Instagram is the perfect place to post curated images, offering photographers an easy way to develop a portfolio and showcase it to the world, all while connecting with potential fans and clients. Social media-savvy photographers also use other Instagram features (including Reels, Instagram Stories, Guides, and Instagram Lives) to supercharge their growth and reach on social media. Not to toot our own horn, but a stack of talented Instagram photographers even use Plann to keep their feeds looking cohesive (#humblebrag)....

Quidditch is the only sport in the Harry Potter world that is really talked about at all. As the main sport played in the wizarding world, one would think it would be a game that makes a lot of sense. However, there are many things about Quidditch that are rather head-scratching. From the way the game is played at Hogwarts to the rules of the game, it doesn’t really hold up very well as a sport under close examination....

With his sharply chiseled features, steely gaze, and enigmatic bearing, Mads Mikkelsen has made a career of playing sophisticated villains and intense antiheroes. He has a way of making even the most duplicitous criminal multi-faceted and interesting, thanks in part to the Old World charm he emanates. Born in Denmark, he grew up performing on television, and is known even now for playing comedic roles in his home country. His first breakout American role was as the knight Tristan in 2004’s King Arthur, where he met co-star Hugh Dancy, who he would so memorably play opposite years later in Hannibal....

Sudden cancellations and unresolved cliffhangers are bummers for any fans. However, sci-fi fans seem to have to deal with it more than others. There are so many infamous science fiction shows canceled “before their prime” that people have made tons of lists on them. Yes, we already hear the people in the back yelling “Firefly”. It’s only an added salt in the wound when that canceling comes with a really juicy cliffhanger that fans never get to see resolved....

There are many iconic sitcoms from the ‘90s, but none are quite like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The series starred Will Smith as himself, who at the time was making quite a name for himself in the music industry. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air helped launch his film career, while also shaping Smith’s persona as a smooth-talking womanizer. By the end of the series, Will had cut off his relationship with Lisa Wilkes, but in real life, Will Smith got married to Jada Pinkett only a year after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended....

One of the hardest parts to do when casting a comic book movie is finding the right actors to play characters that have, in some cases, existed for over half a century. You have to find someone who looks the part and can act like it too. Then that person, for the most part, has to be accepted by a very rabid fan base. Gone are the days where actors like Jack Black are being grossly miscast as Green Lantern (thank the internet backlash for quelling that nonsense)....

The Oscars are an award ceremony notorious for snubbing some of the best names in film, creating uproar after uproar every year with whatever newest gem they exclude. This year brought some big and rather unjust snubs, one of the biggest being the fact that Greta Gerwig, whose groundbreaking hit, Little Women, was nominated in several departments, was not nominated for Best Director. In the animation department, indie films are getting more recognition than they did in past years....

In 2015, a Canadian sitcom debuted that turned heads with its offbeat humor and characters full of heart. Five seasons later, Schitt’s Creek is beloved by audiences all over the world thanks to cable networks and streaming sites. The series follows the Roses, a formerly wealthy family who lost everything, when they relocate to the small town of Schitt’s Creek. Schitt’s Creek is their last asset, one that can’t be confiscated....

Santa Claus, the face of the Christmas season himself, is one of the most iconic characters in all of existence. It takes a certain type of magic to bring this jolly old elf to life on screen, and we’ve got no shortage of Santas in various specials. But how many actually stack up and do the role justice? From the bright and jolly to the mysterious and magical, we’ve seen Santas as different as they come....

Airplanes. Ever since 1903, when the Wright brothers flew the first plane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, planes have fascinated us. They invoke great memories of your last vacation and fantasies of faraway places. But with a history of crashing, bombings, and hijackings, planes also bring with them a sense of anticipation, fear, and tension. With all these emotions already associated with airplanes, it’s clear to see why they make such great settings for movies....
