I touched on the topic of ratings ruining movies last year, and I’ll stand by my opinion, making a movie PG to reach a wider audience is more likely to be a hindrance than a help.

After the massive back to back successes of X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past helped to erase the horrible taste* of Brett Ratner’s X-Men 3 from our cultural palates, the Bryan Singer led mutant franchise just seems to be going from strength to strength on the big screen. But what about the small screen? The X-Men franchise …
When it comes to the X-Men, Gambit has never been the biggest character. Sure the card-throwing Ragin’ Cajun is super cool and has his fare share of fandom, but he’s certainly never reached the popularity levels of say, Wolverine. Which is why it may be considered a bit strange that there’s a Gambit solo movie on the way , making …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
