10 Movie and TV Characters Played By the Most Different Actors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are certain characters, whether they’ve been adapted from books or started out their lives onscreen, that can really only be played by one actor. It’s difficult to imagine anyone but Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine, or Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. Seeing anyone else put their spin on the types of roles that have attached irreversibly to an actor’s career just feels wrong sometimes. Then again, there are plenty of characters whose portrayals onscreen have had quite the opposite effect on p
The 10 Most Distracting Celebrity TV Cameos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a television show reaches a certain level in the cultural consciousness, it starts to expand. Everything gets bigger: the seasonal arcs, the cast, the budget, and the opportunities to have a famous fan show up for a scene or two. Most big shows, no matter the genre, have their share of celebrity cameos and guest stars.

10 Unfinished Film Series That Were Never Completed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a certain risk that comes with making a film series — though the modern “franchise absolutely everything” model most production studios seem to be using might make you think otherwise.

Read excerpt
In order for a story to have meaning, especially one with a lot of action and adventure and peril, someone’s gotta die. Characters running around in fear for their lives loses some of its potency every time everyone makes it out alive, so here and there a good story starts picking some of them off. They don’t necessarily have to be the main characters — although they can be — but major character death is a necessity for a story to have any real weight. Some franchises wait until the very last en
The Most Obvious Retcons in Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Once a film franchise gets to be a certain length, things may start to get a little wonky. We’re firmly in the age of movie multiverses, where everything is made up and the deaths don’t matter, but even before our current era of timeline sandwiches and prequel/sequel/reboot fudging, there was some funny business going on. There’s nothing like a retcon to set a wayward film series back on track—or derail it permanently forevermore. Movies usually try to be a little elegant with their retcons, cha
