Spider-Man Star Has Never Seen Original Star Wars Trilogy
Spider-Man star Tom Holland revealed in an interview promoting his new film The Lost City of Z that he's not really much of a Star Wars fan and hasn't seen the original 1977 trilogy.
Holland has a memorable quote in Captain America: Civil War, where the web-slinger asks his fellow heroes whether they've seen “that really old movie The Empire Strikes Back."

The Fast and the Furious: The Most Ridiculous Car Chases
It’s been 16 years since the first Fast and the Furious movie and in that time we’ve all watched as this series evolved from somewhat respectable street racing movie into one of the most popular, melodramatic and over the top action franchises in motion picture history.
But even though the Fast and Furious movies claim that they’re all about family - and they claim it over and over and over again, don’t they? - we all know they’re really here to wow us with incredible and implausible car chases, stunts, and action sequences.
Now that we’ve seen The Fate of the Furious, (minor spoilers below) it’s time to take a look at all the times that this franchise has gone beyond the suspension of disbelief and into the realm of absolute madness… just the way we like it.
