STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK---on the 40th anniversary of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, George Lucas said the sequel came close to not being filmed because of the stress he suffered while filming the original movie, "At first I was contemplating selling the whole thing to Fox... I'd just take my percentage and go home and never think about Star Wars again. But the truth of it is, I got captivated by the thing... And I can't help but get upset or excited when something isn't the way it's supposed to be. I can see that world. I know the way the characters live and breathe."
Lucas got Irvin Kershner to direct THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK which is considered by many to be the best movie of the franchise.
DEADPOOL 3---creator Rob Lifeld posted fan artwork to show his unhappiness over Walt Disney's lack of plans for DEADPOOL 3. The fan artwork shows Deadpool holding Mickey Mouse after he has shot Mickey in the head while Hollywood burns in the background.
SPIDER-MAN---a rumor claims Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are planning a live-action SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE movie which will give Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man a proper farewell similar to Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr's farewell in AVENGERS: ENDGAME.
Also, Tom Holland is reportedly lobbying for Maguire to play Uncle Ben in flashback scenes for the next SPIDER-MAN movie.
In Brazil, three young boys let a black widow spider bite them so they would get Spider-Man-llke superpowers. After getting sick, the boys spent a week in the hospital before recovering from the bites.
LABYRINTH---Scott Derrickson (DOCTOR STRANGE) will direct the TriStar Pictures sequel to the 1986 Jim Henson fantasy movie that starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.
LOST---on the tenth anniversary of the controversial tv series finale, Evangeline Lilly's comments echoed the feelings of many fans, “I didn’t really watch the show from seasons four to six. I would just show up to work and do it. I loved season one when it was all about the characters, but when it became all about the mythology, it wasn’t my taste. I think for the genre, though, it was catnip.”
However, co-creator Damon Lindelof defended the series and its finale, “I guess the takeaway from LOST is that I am unapologetic about the fact I’m fascinated by ambiguity and questions that will never be answered, because that’s what life is. I’m just really interested in those stories and I understand that there is an experience of frustration and dissatisfaction. But I also think that there is nobility in the exploration and the journey of these ideas.” Co-creator Carlton Cuse added, “I wouldn’t apologize either. I think the journey of LOST, like life, has its flaws and blemishes, which may be perceived differently by different people. But in totality, I’m very proud of what we did. The fact we made the show and touched a lot of people’s hearts is something that’s incredibly special to me."
HALLOWEEN---Blumhouse revealed the identity of the father of Laurie Stode's daughter, Karen, "Some dude Laurie met at a bar. She doesn't even remember his name."
THE WILDEST ANIMALS IN GRIFFITH PARK---tv comedy underway based on the true story of two writers who lived in a park to discover their "inner wild" and the true meaning of life. Kaitlyn Dever and Joey King star. Margot Robbie is the producer.
IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA---FX renewed the series for Season 15.
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
In the original CASINO ROYALE, director Joe McGrath talked about a deleted scene in which Ursula Andress shoots Ian Hendry (THE AVENGERS) and drops his wrapped body down a rubbish chute, "I used Ian Hendry in CASINO ROYALE as a hitman. So Ursula Andress is in a private firing area and she has a target – you know that you wind up and down – and so she winds the target back down and she has a whole series of guns laid out in front of her. And she’s reaching for the gun when this hit-man appears behind the target. It’s Ian Hendry.
And he is just about to shoot her and he says this is a Beretta, you know, and he tells it’s caliber, it’s an Italian make and some hit-men use it. And she says, ‘oh really’ and she quickly picks up gun and say this is a Walter PPK. Bang! And she shoots him, you know, and then she goes along each gun and she she explains this gun and shoots him in a different part – so that it takes about six bullets and in, you know, at the end he says, ‘you know I’ll never forgive you for this,” you know and he dies. She then puts him in a parcel and sends him off.
Now the Ian Hendry’s scene is cut out of the film. So you start the scene with her with a parcel, saying get rid of this rubbish, you know, tomorrow morning. Now you don’t know what’s in that parcel. That’s Ian Hendry,"

I'm with Evangeline on this unfortunately. I did watch the series in it's entirety but the whole problem laid in the fact that all they had at the front end of this show is this really cool concept...and no idea what is really was all about. A howling monster that ends up being...smoke. And a polar bear on an island that was there for no real reason other than to be weird for weird sake, etc. They just kept throwing things out there that kept us being pulled by the nose week after week. After about 3 seasons it was then they started trying to figure out what this show was about. And then the reveal was exactly what was expected and guessed upon after season 3. Again, I stuck with it because after all that had happened I was invested and I needed an ending, disappointing as it was.

Without Bowie (and the Bowie bulge), there's no point. They've got nothing, tra la la.
Oh, and point of interest: Find the video on YouTube that will blow your mind: Bowie's face is hidden throughout the movie!
