This Superhero Is More Lucrative Than Batman And The Avengers Combined

The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and the Dark Knight series may rule the box office, but the real superhero money comes from licensed products. And the superhero with the most lucrative license—earning a whopping $1.3 billion a year—is neither Bat nor big-screen Avenger. It’s actually Spider-Man who is the superheroic earner, with licensing profits that…

A Statistical Analysis That Reveals Why Aspiring Screenwriters Fail

The data-crunching fiends over at Five Thirty Eight examined the data from thousands of script evaluations of screenplays by newbie writers, submitted to the Black List of unproduced screenplays.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy Join The Marvel/Attack On Titan Crossover

According to this new art — new color art! — of the upcoming Marvel/Attack on Titan crossover comic, it looks like Rocket Raccoon and his pals are joining the fun, as is the Colossal Titan, which… well, look at him next to the Statue of Liberty in panel 2.

This Injury Could Blind You While Making You Believe You Can See

There is a specific mental condition that blocks the ability to recognize illness in oneself. It works whether the illness is schizophrenia, paralysis, or even complete blindness. It’s called anosognosia. Apparently one of the major problems dealing with people just after they’ve had a stroke is convincing them that they’ve had a stroke – or…

The True Story Behind Those “Antique” Vampire Hunting Kits

You’ve seen them turn up on auction sites from time to time: “authentic vampire-killing kits,” attributed to a master craftsman, Professor Ernst Blomberg of Germany. (One sold for $12,000 at Sotheby’s.) A British museum curator explains how he proved them to be fakes — and why they’re nonetheless still very valuable. The typical vampire-killing kit,…

Which State Has The Worst Internet Access In The Nation?

Sorry, Mississippi. The news isn’t good. The Census has released its latest figures on who has and who doesn’t have high-speed internet access. And while the news is initially pretty good, with just under 80% of Americans having high-speed internet, when you start to break down the data geographically, the news becomes a little more…

Ebenezer Elliott Was The Most Badass Slam Poet Of The 19th Century

During the early- to mid-1800s, a group of British poets marshaled their talents to inspire a popular movement against the “Corn Laws,” a set of government policies to further pad the pockets of land-owning aristocrats. Among the most powerful poems were the Corn Law Rhymes, penned by businessman Ebenezer Elliott. As the JSTOR Daily blog…

With Hours To Live, Controllers Are “Taking Risks” With Comet Lander

Watch Benedict Cumberbatch Attempt Eleven Impressions in 60 Seconds

While promoting The Imitation Game, MTV thought Benedict Cumberbatch should imitate other famous people. (GET IT?!) He gives it a pretty good shot, but none of them come close to his Jar Jar. Actually, the worst part for Mr. Cumberbatch is that he’s asked to do a Tom Hiddleston impression, which just reminded me that…

The Hollywood Reporter says that Universal’s just hired a slew of writers for their upcoming reboot of the classic monster films.
