Could This Be the Most Popular Song About Washington State?
I have a bone to pick with Blake Shelton. It has nothing to do with his marriages to Miranda Lambert and Gwen Stefani. It has nothing to do with him leaving The Voice or America's Got (No) Talent, or whatever name that show is. My bone to pick is over...

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameos: The Full List of Marvel Characters Who Appear
The following post contains SPOILERS for Deadpool & Wolverine. SPOILER ALERT: Deadpool and Wolverine are both in this movie. I just thought you might want to know. It’s called Deadpool & Wolverine, but really that is selling the new Marvel movie short. Sure, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are the two main characters. But this movie is like a cinematic universe unto itself. It’s got more cameos than It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. (Kids, ask your parents. Or maybe your grandparents at this point. Or just ask me: It’s an old movie with a lot of cameos! This is a good joke! Trust me.)

Not all of his movies end with narrative-shattering twists, but most of them do, and his most iconic third act reveals altered movies, and the way we think about them, forever. Because we love Shyamalan’s movies, because we love a good twist, and because we love to rank stuff, we’ve decided to rank every Shyamalan twist, from The Sixth Sense and beyond.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Ending Explained: How It Sets Up ‘Secret Wars’
Don’t let them snikt up on you — the following post contains SPOILERS for the end of Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool & Wolverine leaves the Marvel Cinematic Universe changed forever. It doesn’t bring Deadpool into the MCU; it confirms he’s been in it all along as part of the Fox X-Men universe, which is a part of the massive Marvel multiverse. But the film doesn’t end that universe once and for all, it actually reestablishes it — paving the way for it to collide with the Sacred Timeline in future films — perhaps in Avengers: Secret Wars.
