We could debate all day which Terminator movie is the best, but it really just comes down to whether you prefer the original 1984 film or 1991’s Judgment Day, which still stands as one of the best sequels ever. In other words, it sure as hell wasn’t Salvation. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, who still has no idea how that particular Terminator movie works.

Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates first shared credits on 1998’s Primary Colors. But it almost started nearly a decade prior, as Thornton was given a role in 1990’s Misery. Sort of. Thornton and Bates recently reunited, where he revealed to her that he almost landed a small role in Misery back in 1990 when he was still trying to make a name for himself. As it turns out, the idea was to have Sheriff Buster (played by Richard Farnsworth) have a deputy at his side.

When they say everybody loves Raymond, they weren’t kidding. Nine seasons, 200+ episodes and one of the most nominated comedies in Primetime Emmy history, Everybody Loves Raymond remains one of the most beloved sitcoms ever. And while it lives on in reruns, don’t expect it to get the reboot treatment. Some of the most popular comedies of the ‘90s and ‘00s have seen reboots and revivals — we’re talking Frasier, That ‘70s Show, Scrubs, etc.

Bruce Springsteen may have been born to run, but he also has a side hobby in snooping around on movie sets. The Boss would often make himself at home during production of upcoming film Deliver Me From Nowhere, visiting the filming locations — particularly in New Jersey — fairly often. And while he put himself in a position where he had to witness some bizarro version of his life, he did also get to see some excellent talent portraying it.

If there’s one frequent problem at the movies, it’s that Gal Gadot keeps getting jobs. But if there’s another, it’s the use of cell phones. At this point, phones are practically glued to our palms and you can’t go anywhere without people staring and scrolling. And while many of us consider the cinema a sacred place, it’s so frequent there that it has ruined the entire experience for even the most seasoned patrons.

For a few years last decade, Simon West and Jason Statham seemed like a fitting pair, giving us The Mechanic, The Expendables 2 and Wild Card. Then it kind of just went away. Now, West says he is ready to get behind the camera once again for another Statham actioner. It’s not as if Simon West and Jason Statham had a falling out, but rather the opportunity to reteam just hasn’t come up. But that’s not for a lack of consideration, as West does tend to picture Statham in certain roles. “Yeah, yeah.

Iron Man didn’t only introduce the world to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it changed the superhero movie game forever. So inevitably it was the first in the MCU to get a sequel, upping the stakes by having two key villains: Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer. With the universe constantly expanding, we do have to wonder: will any of the earlier antagonists return? For Sam Rockwell, he doesn’t quite see a place for Justin Hammer.

Now that the hype for the next installment in The Naked Gun series – starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin, Jr. – is real, we do all have to remember the time when we were all skeptical. Face it, without Leslie Nielsen and any of ZAZ (Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers) at play, what good could possibly come of it? Really, couldn’t someone from the original writing team have had a hand in the movie? As it turns out, David Zucker says he was excluded entirely from the process of The Naked Gun.

Revenge is a dish best served cold…And cold is exactly how Uma Thurman felt after she crossed off every name on her list for Kill Bill. You might think it had to do with the intensity of making a film like that – and all of the problems and permanent injuries that came with it – but it actually had more to do with not wanting to get locked into the action genre.
