(You haven’t read ours yet, for starters.) But while there’s much to be said for thoughtfully considered, carefully crafted paragraphs, sometimes, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words....

Check Into ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ With Three New Teasers By Angie Han/Sept. 2, 2015 10:15 am EST The setting, story, cast, and characters change from year to year, but there’s one thing about American Horror Story that always remains the same: The run-up to each season begins with a series of creepy, mood-setting teasers.

Chris Pratt’s ‘Jurassic World’ Raptor Squad Was Hinted In Original ‘Jurassic Park’ Novel By Germain Lussier/Feb. 5, 2015 5:00 am EST That sound you heard last year was Jurassic Park fans screaming about the oddities in the Jurassic World trailer. Specifically, the fact Chris Pratt’s character apparently has control of a pack of Velociraptors, those unstoppable, evil dinosaur from the first three movies. The Super Bowl trailer for the Colin Trevorrow film showed even more of this relationship, with Pratt’s character dinosaur whispering the dominant creatures (seen above)....

Based on Josh Karp’s best-selling book, the story follows National Lampoon co-founder Douglas Kenney, who’s played by Will Forte (MacGruber) in the biopic.

Would You Buy A Movie “Superticket?” By Germain Lussier/March 26, 2015 12:00 pm EST Movie theaters are always looking for an edge. A way to draw people into their establishment and away from their laptops, streaming services and big screen televisions. They’ve tried almost everything.

‘Gambit’ Will Be An Origin Story, But One That Plays With Superhero Movie Tropes By Russ Fischer/May 25, 2015 2:30 pm EST Channing Tatum is going to create a new portrayal of the mutant Gambit for a film centering on the character, with a chance that we’ll see the guy in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse when that film opens in May 2016.

‘Love The Coopers’ Trailer: Ed Helms, Olivia Wilde And More Star In A New Christmas Comedy By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 26, 2015 2:00 pm EST We’re not anywhere near being able to say “Christmas is just around the corner.” It’s not even fall yet and all the pumpkin-spiced junk is hitting shelves along with Halloween decorations, but still, it’s just a little too kooky to even start thinking about Christmas.
