Looks like Fox studios has hit a bump in the road as they have been in the pre-production phases for their sequel to the highly successful hit, Deadpool. Tim Miller has decided to part ways with the team due to creative differences with Ryan Reynolds, who has been a producer for this new Deadpool “franchise” for Fox.

This is bit of a turn of events since both Ryan Reynolds and Tim Miller were the clear reasons why the film was so successful the first time around. Ryan Reynolds personifies the character of Deadpool, the quick witted raunchy and immortal mercenary of Marvel comics, and was able to successfully translate Deadpool’s comic characterizations into the live action take. Additionally, it was thanks to Tim Miller’s directorial mind that helped to set Deadpool apart from the rest of the superhero genre we are being over-saturated with today. This duo helped Fox rake in $786 million worldwide during the film’s release weekend last year. The success of the film definitely revitalized Reynolds career as an A-list leading man, and brought Tim Miller into a new light for the work he does. For those of you who don’t know, Tim Miller has been the director for creative movies such as “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”, “Thor: The Dark World”, and “The girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Despite being a small list of features, those films (maybe besides Thor) have been creatively successful hits.

Rumor has it that the creative differences between Reynolds and Miller had them butting heads over how the sequel should be portrayed, which in turn has caused a rift in their casting choices. Tim Miller feels that Deadpool 2 should be a little more “stylized” while Reynolds wants to keep the raunchy and 4th wall breaking nature of the film that brought them worldwide success. Miller and Reynolds ultimately came to butt heads due to casting decisions. To note, Reynolds’ renegotiated contract gives him casting decisions and approval powers.

As rumors had been spreading since the release of Deadpool, the casting rumors and fan requests for the sequel’s Cable, the time traveling mutant who partners with Deadpool throughout their comic adventures spread like wildfire with actors like Stephen Lang posting photos of himself. Tim Miller had been eyeing Kyle Chandler (“Bloodline”, “Friday Night Lights”, “The Wolf of Wall Street”) to take that role, but Reynolds saw differently and was ultimately the reason why Miller left the team.

It’s unfortunate, but this is all just part of the “business” aspect of this creative industry. The positive thing is that Tim Miller’s split from the team was amicable and understood that it was simply creative differences. Miller has been placed on another project for Fox titled “Influx”, but I hope that Fox will be able to find someone who can bring the same visual style that Miller gave us.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
