Full SPOILERS ahead for Deadwood: The Movie!

Fans of Deadwood were no doubt pleased that the acclaimed series, which was canceled back in 2006, finally received a proper inclusion in the form of a two-hour feature film that debuted on HBO this weekend. While the show took plenty of creative license with the facts of the Wild West town’s history, it never deviated too far from established events, such as a character based on an actual person dying before they did in real life. That is until Deadwood: The Movie.

In the film, both Charlie Utter and, apparently, Al Swearengen die decades before the real men did.

Warning: Full spoilers follow for Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

With the release of director Michael Dougherty's Godzilla: King of the Monsters, newcomers to the classic franchise are being introduced to three characters -- well, monsters -- from the original Toho series that are near and dear to most fan's hearts: King Ghidorah, Rodan, and the Queen of the Monsters, Mothra.

And it's the latter creature -- a giant moth who is a friend to Godzilla and helps him in his battle with the nasty Rodan and the three-headed space dragon Ghidorah -- who winds up leading to the biggest Easter egg in the film.
