When it comes to literary greats, inspiration can come from anywhere. For famed gothic writer Edgar Allen Poe, one idea came from a raven, which inspired his famous poem of the same name about the foreboding bird. Now, that little black muse is enshrined in a history exhibit for all to see.

It's not news that Alan Moore is unhappy with DC's decision to prequelize his groundbreaking creation, Watchmen. He's been harping against anything of the sort for quite some time now. But what about his own use of other people's characters in things like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Isn't that the same thing?
In the latest chapter in the simmering sci-fi feud—which was escalated recently by William Shatner, Carrie Fisher and George Takei, each trying to make their case for galactic dominance—U.K. talk show host Graham Norton tried to put an end to it all with an Action Figure Deathmatch.

Christopher Nolan has a reputation for many things as a director. His films are defined by complex plotting, visual artistry and, of course, extreme secrecy. He's so secretive that when he first approached Michael Caine to play Alfred in Batman Begins, he wouldn't even leave the legendary actor alone with a copy of the script.

Bill Hinzman, the actor and director most famous as the very first zombie to shuffle into George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, passed away over the weekend after a battle with cancer. He was 75.

We've all accepted by now that Terminator: Salvation wasn't the franchise redemption we were hoping it would be. Even McG, who directed the franchise's fourth installment, seems willing to admit that things could have been better. In fact, while promoting his new movie, he had a few choice words about the flick's ending.
The news that Ridley Scott will return to direct a sequel to his sci-fi classic Blade Runner was one of the cooler things we heard last year, even if one of the producers assured us the flick wouldn't include Harrison Ford. Well, it turns out that producer may have spoken too soon.
Once upon a time, DC Comics felt that Superman had gotten too powerful and, as a result, had lost some of his appeal—and that the only way to make the Man of Steel a relevant character was to kill him off. Writer Max Landis hilariously, profanely recounts the story of 1992's Death of Superman and everything he says really happened. Seriously.
Every year, the Super Bowl is a forum for competition of the finest caliber. Teams of very talented individuals vying for your affection, hoping that you'll buy whatever it is they're selling.
