What Could Possibly Happen In Another <i>Jurassic World</i> Movie?
In June 2018, Universal is scraping what is left of the amber-preserved DNA to give life to another Jurassic Park movie.

The Diamondbacks Are Still Jerks

<i>Road House </i>Is Patrick Swayze's Finest Hour, And Also America's
Here’s something fun: Imagine the conversations that Terry Funk, the eternally grizzled pro wrestler, and John Doe, the co-leader of the great art-punk band X, had on the set of Road House. By 1989, the year that this beautifully ridiculous action flick hit theaters, those two were legends in their ...

In Matt Harvey (26), Jacob deGrom (27), Noah Syndergaard (22), Steven Matz (24), and Zack Wheeler (25), the Mets have some of baseball’s best young starters, and hope to have them for a very long time.

“Hi, we’re Third Eye Blind from San Francisco, California, and we’re high as kites.” Stephan Jenkins beams at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion crowd from the depths of his hoodie; his legs are encompassed by shorts and a glossy cylinder of fabric that could be classified as a skirt.

Hey, You Don't Have To Read Harper Lee's New Book
So Go Set a Watchman, the second book about the main characters from the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, comes out today.

And Now, The Only Comic-Con Story You'll Ever Need
It’s the early 2000s, and I’m working at a bar across the street from the convention center where Comic-Con is held.
