Logan was the most complained about film of 2017 for a stupid bloody reason

Image
Hugh Jackman"s ninth outing as Wolverine was the most complained about film of 2017 in cinemas in the UK. Logan opened to critical acclaim last year and was lauded by fans of the X-Men franchise for its ne0-noir, gritty portrayal of Wolverine and was Jackman"s last outing as the mutant we all love to love. Following the rip-roaring success of Deadpool, Fox gave the go-ahead to give the next wolverine outing an R-rating. This meant fans were finally going to get the Wolverine movie they"d always wanted. Violent and gritty, Logan was a valuable addition to the Marvel franchise, throwing around blood with almost as much reckless abandon as the word f*ck. It was perhaps Jackman"s best stint as Wolverine and thankfully helped to wash away some of the absolute horror that was X Men Origins: Wolverine (yeah, remember that absolute disaster?). Logan was the Wolverine film we"d all been waiting for ; as Old Man Logan, Jackman finally got to play Wolverine the way we wan...

Wedding guest stunned by groom"s rude reaction to gift

Gift registries are one of the most divisive features of modern weddings, but they at least guarantee the marrying couple will be happy with what they receive. Or so one would assume, anyway. One disgruntled guest has shared the "cheeky" (read: rude) reaction a groom had to her wedding gift, and it"s truly jaw-dropping stuff.

Arriving at the reception, however, it was apparent nobody else had brought physical presents. WATCH: The only gift Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want from their wedding guests. (Post continues.) "People kept saying "We just got them vouchers/money"," the woman recalls, adding that even the groom said he wasn"t expecting gifts. At the end of the night, theirs was still the only gift sitting by the card...

The "Rick and Morty" Episode About the "Get Schwifty" Song Is Tone-Deaf

Image
M ost science fiction shows have their mediocre filler episodes, but when it happens to Rick and Morty , it feels like a disaster. The creators behind Game of Thrones might’ve dubbed Rick and Morty “the best writing of 2017” , but back in 2015, the writing behind an episode called “Get Schwifty” was some of the first. The episode opts for sheer absurdity at every plot point rather than doing anything clever or interesting. Yet, when you learn exactly how the episode came to be, there’s at least some kind of an explanation for exactly how this bad episode came about. Are explanations the same as excuses? We’re about to find out. The action of “Get Schwifty” kicks off when giant heads arrive on Earth, causing all sorts of natural disasters , demanding in a monotone voice: “Show me what you got.” Earth is then forced into a reality television show in which these moon-sized heads — an alien race called the Cromulons...
