Director James Gunn went to bat for Chris Pratt on Twitter when a bunch of people randomly called for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord character from “Guardians of the Galaxy” to be recast. Well, director James Gunn wasn’t having any of it. James replied, “For what? Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him? For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true? Chris would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

Thanks to Zootopia 2, the Indonesian pit viper is suddenly a trendy pet in China. Small issue though. It’s highly venomous. Chinese state media is now begging people to stop buying them. Because nothing says “bad idea” like letting a children’s movie convince you to bring home a snake that can medically ruin your week. Darwinism, at it’s finest….

His wife laughed and said it had been there for two years…HD vision unlocked.
