Man Sues His Date for Texting During Guardians Vol. 2
A man is suing his date for texting during a screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
The plaintiff, Brandon Vezmar, is suing for the price he paid to a 3D screening of the film, which is exactly $17.31, the Austin-American Statesman reports. Vezmar claims that, 15 minutes into the movie, his date (who remains anonymous) started texting and ignored Vezmar's request to turn off the phone after using it "10-20" times.
"While damages sought are modest, the principle is important as defendant's behavior is a threat to civilized society," reads Vezmar's petition filed to a small claims court. Vezmar's date said she was asked to pay him back for the ticket but refused to do so because "he took me out on a date."

Well(p, optional)
Braun's out. Down for six months with a shattered elbow and now the struggle to muster interest in weekly WWE programming begins.

Logan Director Says X-23 Could Return
Dafne Keen's X-23 could return in a future X-Men film, according to Logan directer James Mangold.
During the recent Q&A with Mangold and Hugh Jackman following the premiere of Logan Noir, Mangold was asked if he'd like to see Keen reprise her role as Laura/X-23 in a future film. While nothing's set in stone, Mangold said he's had conversations with 20th Century Fox about the character's potential return.
"Anything's possible," Mangold said. "I've certainly talked to them about it. I even talked to them about it before we made the movie. I thought she was just such a great character, but with what Dafne did, I think that certainly that's possible."
