The Horrible Lineup Of Films Coming Out This Year

9 Movies 2017 Doesn't Need
List Challenge

Among the Hollywood blockbusters coming out this year, there are some films that shouldn't have even made the lineup:

1. The Mummy.


If I hadn't known what I was already watching, I never would have guessed The Mummy's trailer was an actually Mummy film. Instead it's an explosion fest featuring Tom Cruise. It's nice seeing a female mummy, but there doesn't appear to be an substance to this film.

2. The Fate of the Furious.

The last Fast and Furious film had a perfect send off to the late Paul Walker. Yet the franchise doesn't appear to be finished, and another film is coming out this year.

3. Fifty Shades Darker.

For Valentine's Day we will be treated to another film riddled in unhealthy relationships and rape culture. It's a sequel for a film that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

4. Monster Trucks.

While this film has already been released (in 2016 internationally, 2017 domestically), it has to be on the list. Paramount had a $125 million dollar budget for this kids' film featuring monsters inside trucks. It won't be making its money back.

5. Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Once again we're treated to a bad movie with blue people (sadly I'm not talking about the other one, Avatar). This is the third film in Sony's franchise of the smurfs. The second film only made a fraction compared to the first, making it unclear why a third was needed.

6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

After Johnny Depp's abuse scandal, it's surprising that he's still getting jobs. But that's Hollywood for you. With the last film being a bore, it's time for Disney to lower the pirate flag on this franchise.

7. Despicable Me 3.

Illuminations Studios is bring in the money with their annoying army of Minions. I'm not looking forward to the commercials featuring those yellow nightmares.

8. The Emoji Movie.

I feel like this idea was came up by an old guy trying to figure out a movie that's trying to stay hip. I have no words for this film.

9. Jumanji.

In honor of Robin Williams, it's sad to see one of his beloved classics being remade so soon. I have nothing against the actors in the remake, but it's not a movie I'll be seeing.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
