- Remember that time (about a week ago) when Matthew Vaughn dropped out of X-Men: Days of Future Past? We all thought it was because of his tendency to leave projects, but a rumor’s floating around that he abandoned the X-Men to direct Star Wars: Episode VII. Dun dun DUNNNNN. (/Film)

-
Susana Polo

-
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
