• Young people galvanized by the Valentine's Day school massacre in Parkland, Florida, are leading the movement against gun violence. 
• Here are some of the most prominent faces of the #NeverAgain movement. 

A group of Parkland shooting survivors led the charge in organizing Saturday's "March for Our Lives" in Washington — an event emulated in hundreds of cities and towns across the country and around the globe.

They were joined on stage by many others who've been touched by gun violence, including young people of color whose communities have been disproportionately impacted.

In the weeks since the massacre at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, some of the young activists have become targets for right-wing conspiracy theories and viciously attacked online by those, including sitting lawmakers, who disagree with their positions on gun regulation.

Emma González

Emma González, an 18-year-old senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, has become one of the most prominent faces of the student-led movement. 

After the Valentine's Day massacre, González and other student survivors began working to contact politicians, advocate for legislative change, and organize the march on Washington.

"The people in the government who are voted into power are lying to us," González said on Saturday before leading several minutes of silence. "And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and are prepared to call B.S."

Jaclyn Corin

Jaclyn Corin, the 17-year-old junior-class president at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, has said that her way of coping with the tragedy is to distract herself "with work and helping people."

On Saturday, she affirmed the Parkland students' commitment to shedding light on the daily gun violence that disproportionately affects communities of color, but doesn't receive as much attention as mass shootings. 

"We recognize that Parkland received more attention because of its affluence," Corin said during her speech in Washington. "But we share this stage today and forever with those communities who have always stared down the barrel of a gun."

After the president tweeted on Monday that despite all the "fake news, "our country is doing great!" Corin responded, "96 deaths by firearm every day is not what I call great." 

David Hogg

David Hogg, a 17-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, has also become a national face of the anti-gun violence movement. Hogg has given multiple national media interviews and spoken at several events in the wake of the shooting. 

On Saturday, Hogg encouraged the crowd to take action and vote. 

"We're going to make sure the best people get in our elections to run not as politicians, but as Americans. Because this — this — is not cutting it," he said. 

Some of President Donald Trump's most fervent supporters, gun rights activists, and alt-right bots have attacked Hogg, along with other Parkland survivors, online. High profile members of the conservative media, who disagaree with Hogg's support for gun control, have called him an "extremist" and a "useful idiot." 

Monika Radulovic, who was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2015, married her artist fiancé Alesandro Ljubicic in a lavish affair in a Sydney suburb at the weekend.

The wedding was held at the Miramare Gardens, described as a "five star venue" in Terrey Hills, a suburb of northern Sydney. The day included an outdoor ceremony in the gardens, as well as an elaborate reception in a dining hall decorated with incredible hanging floral displays, including hand-painted orchids, and abundant crystal chandeliers.

The bride wore a Swarovski crystal-encrusted couture gown from Galia Lahav, inspired by one of her favourite of Ljubicic's paintings, like many of the other details of the wedding.

The bridal party and their guests shared moments of the day on Instagram — and it looks pretty spectacular.

It's hard to argue with filmmaker Steven Spielberg's impact on cinema.

His films span decades and genres, from sci-fi classics to historical dramas. It's fitting that his upcoming film, "Ready Player One," deals with so much nostalgia. Spielberg is responsible for many of our greatest films, from "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" to "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

But which ones performed the best at the box office? 

We looked back on the prolific director's filmography, and ranked all of his films based on their domestic box office gross, adjusted for inflation (via Box Office Mojo).

Below is every Steven Spielberg film ranked based on adjusted domestic box office:

Netflix has begun to cancel shows, but that doesn't mean it's getting rid of your favorites.

40 Netflix original series will be returning with new seasons in the near future.

Only a handful of the series have official release dates, including the upcoming premieres of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Marvel's Luke Cage." 

On Tuesday, the streaming service announced the renewal of its sitcom "One Day at a Time" and a second season of its reality-show reboot "Queer Eye."

Other hit Netflix shows that have been renewed by the streaming service, like "Stranger Things" and "Mindhunter," are either currently in production or awaiting release.

For this list, we have only included renewed Netflix series that are yet to air, and we've included official release dates if applicable. We've excluded children's shows and reality series.

Here are the 40 Netflix original series that are coming back for another season:

• George Lucas once had a vision for his own "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, and he told actor Mark Hamill his plan for the finale.
• Hamill said that Lucas intended to kill Luke Skywalker in Episode 9 after he trains Leia in the ways of the Force.
• Luke instead dies in Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi," Episode 8, after he becomes "one with the Force" to save Leia and the Resistance.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas had plans for a "Star Wars" sequel trilogy.

That obviously never happened, and we now have different versions of Episodes 7 and 8 — with 9 coming next year — than what Lucas originally envisioned. But thanks to Luke Skywalker himself, we now know how Lucas would have ended Episode 9.

In an interview with IGN, actor Mark Hamill revealed how Lucas would have ended his own Episode 9, and it's similar to how director Rian Johnson ended Episode 8, "The Last Jedi," last year.

Hamill told IGN that Lucas intended to kill Luke Skywalker.

"I happen to know that George didn't kill Luke until the end of [Episode] 9, after he trained Leia," Hamill said. "Which is another thread that was never played upon [in 'The Last Jedi']."

According to IGN, Hamill saw outlines for Lucas' Episodes 7-9, but he instead incorporated many of those ideas into "Return of the Jedi."

In Rian Johnson's version, Luke dies at the end of "The Last Jedi" after becoming "one with the Force" to save the Resistance in a stand-off with Kylo Ren and the First Order. Luke uses the last of his energy to Force-project himself into battle with Ren and buy his sister Leia and the Resistance enough time to escape the First Order.

So while Lucas had similar plans for Luke, Johnson killed him earlier than Lucas would have, and Luke never trains Leia to become a Jedi — even though Leia does show some Force mastery in "The Last Jedi." 

Instead, Luke spends the majority of "The Last Jedi" begrudgingly training Rey on an island. And Carrie Fisher's death in 2016 has changed any Episode 9 plans for Leia.

• ESPN's new president Jimmy Pitaro discussed the contentious issue of ESPN anchors taking political stances on social media in an interview with Variety.
• ESPN set new social-media guidelines for its employees in November, after controversy surrounded political Twitter posts from some of its anchors, including former "SportsCenter" host Jemele Hill.
• Pitaro referenced the guidelines in the interview and said of ESPN: "We are not a political organization. We are a sports-media company."

ESPN's new president Jimmy Pitaro gave his first interview since he was hired to the role earlier this month, in a Variety Q&A published Tuesday.

In the interview, Pitaro discussed a handful of topics, including the company's upcoming streaming service, ESPN+, as well as the contentious issue of ESPN anchors taking political stances on social media.

ESPN set new social-media guidelines for its employees in November, after former "SportsCenter" host Jemele Hill was suspended for advocating that advertisers boycott Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who said in November that players who kneeled during the national anthem would not play for his team. Hill had earlier sparked controversy for calling President Trump a "white supremacist" on Twitter.

"We are not a political organization. We are a sports-media company," Pitaro said in response to a question on the company's social-media policy. "And our focus is on serving the sports fans. There will always be intersections between sports and politics. When that news happens, we are going to cover it."

"I will tell you, regarding our employees specifically, we provided them with guidelines. There is general understanding and alignment in terms of what our best path forward is within the company," Pitaro continued. "I’m a big believer in the value of social media, and we need to engage with our fans through social media in a thoughtful way, and we are doing that."

The social-media guidelines the company set in November included phrases like, "Think before you tweet, post or otherwise engage on social platforms," and, "Do nothing that would undercut your colleagues' work or embroil the  company in unwanted controversy."

Everything needs a reboot these days.

"Roseanne," a revival of the iconic sitcom starring Roseanne Barr and John Goodman that ended its run in 1997, returns to ABC Tuesday night. 

When it premiered in 1988, "Roseanne" was truly groundbreaking. At the time, most families depicted on TV were relentlessly loving. There was a conflict in every episode, but it ended in heartfelt resolution and lessons learned: think "Full House."

But "Roseanne" was different. On this show, the family was angry, mean, brutally honest, and irreverent. 

A lot of fans of the original show have been hesitant to watch the revival due to Roseanne's politics. In real life and in the show, Roseanne is a Trump supporter. But in early reactions, critics were surprised by how refreshing the show was.

The 10th season of "Roseanne," which premieres Tuesday night, currently has a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 

Here are some of the best (and a few of the worst) reviews of the "Roseanne" revival:

"When it premiered, Roseanne broke new ground. This time around, it's good, but nowhere near required viewing."

NPR

"Roseanne offers proof that the old-fashioned approach still works. The Conners' old couch looks mighty inviting."

"[It's a revival] that feels as vital and germane to its new era as it was to its old one."

• Steven Spielberg proves he can still do the blockbuster movie better than anyone else with "Ready Player One."
• It's the best Spielberg "ride" movie since "Catch Me If You Can."

With Steven Spielberg at the helm adapting a book that celebrates the geeky decade when he was at his peak, it's OK to go into "Ready Player One" (opening in theaters Friday) with a whole lot of skepticism.

Is Spielberg too close to the material to be able to pull off a story that is true to Ernest Cline's book?

No. It's as simple as that.

Spielberg — along with the screenwriter Zak Penn ("X-Men: The Last Stand," "Last Action Hero") and Cline (who is also a credited screenwriter) — creates an event film that has to be seen on a big screen to be fully appreciated.

Along with the countless pop-culture references (I don't think I could catch them all even if I saw it five more times), Spielberg dusts off his action-adventure storytelling toolbox to prove to everyone he still can make a blockbuster movie at a high level.

Lately the Oscar-winning director has focused on more serious fare like "The Post," "Bridge of Spies," "Lincoln," and "War Horse." That means many moviegoers haven't gotten that incredible Spielberg pulse-pounding, entertaining movie in over a decade. Even when he tried to sprinkle in a few catered to the under-30 crowd in that time — "The BFG" and "The Adventures of Tintin" — they were box-office duds that were mostly ignored by the Spielberg die-hards. (And I'm not even going to mention "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Just pretend that never happened.)

For a Spielberg blockbuster that was universally praised, you have to go all the way back to Tom Cruise running from aliens in 2005's "War of the Worlds." But I'll go even further back than that.

Personally, I think "Ready Player One" is Spielberg's most enjoyable movie since 2002's "Catch Me If You Can" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

I know what you're going say: "How can a movie about a check forger running from the FBI for years compare to a movie about a crippled future where everyone is addicted to virtual reality?"

The ride.

What Spielberg still does better than any other filmmaker is take you on a thrilling ride while sitting in a dark theater. I had that feeling watching DiCaprio con his way through "Catch Me If You Can," and I finally had that feeling once more in a Spielberg movie when I saw "Ready Player One."

If you're not familiar with the book, Wade Watts (played by Tye Sheridan) lives in the year 2044 in Oklahoma City's poverty-stricken trailer-home community known as "The Stacks" (trailers are literally stacked one on top of one another). In this future the world has been decimated by a slew of disasters — both technological and environmental — that have led society to basically give up and head to a new world.

That new world is not Mars or another planet but rather the virtual-reality world of the Oasis.

There people can be and do whatever they want through their avatars. The longer you are in the Oasis and building a coin count, the more cool things you can accumulate. And thanks to the creator of the Oasis, James Halliday (Mark Rylance), there's also a whole slew of 1980s pop-culture references he loved as a kid ("You can even climb a mountain with Batman," Wade says at the beginning of the movie).

But there's one more big reason to enter the Oasis. When Halliday died (before the events of the movie), he announced that he had left an Easter egg buried somewhere in the Oasis and that the first person to find it would receive a fortune and ownership of the Oasis. He also left three keys that lead to the Easter egg. But at the start of the movie, it's been five years and no one has found any of the keys.

During "Ready Player One," we follow Wade and his friends as they try to find the keys. But they aren't the only ones looking. The corporation IOI has a team of people working day and night to find the egg led by a former Halliday intern, Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn).

Spielberg still gives us his baseline theme that is in almost all of his movies: the main character's troubled family life. But for the most part we are in the Oasis following Wade's journey. Things pick up when Wade discovers a cheat to the race he's been trying to win with no success (driving the DeLorean from "Back to the Future," Wade can never seem to get past King Kong to the finish line). With the victory, he becomes the first person to get the first key.

A lot of that race is spoiled in the movie's trailers, but it's merely an appetizer for what's to come. It's when Wade goes after the second key that the movie kicks into another level.

I'm not going to give it away. All I can say is that's where the "ride" feel of a Spielberg movie kicked in for me. You could just feel the energy change in the theater I was in when we all realized what was about to happen.

And the movie just becomes more fun as it goes on. Along with the action, it sprinkles in a love story between Wade and Samantha (Olivia Cooke), and a race to beat Sorrento that juggles between reality and the Oasis. There's also a great message about the need, as human beings, to have real-world interaction and not be plugged in all the time.

Listen, I'm not trying to say we should put "Ready Player One" on the Mount Rushmore of Spielberg classic movies. What I hope I'm getting across is if you missed that Spielberg ride (or haven't experienced it yet in your life), this movie is going to give it to you.

Former reality TV star and real estate mogul Donald Trump isn't the first celebrity to enter the world of politics.

With a penchant for attention and widespread name recognition, celebrities have a unique advantage in politics, where simply getting noticed is the first step toward winning a political campaign.

From Ronald Reagan to Arnold Schwarzenegger, here are 17 celebrities who used their superstar status to jump-start their political careers.

Actress Stacey Dash, best known for her role in the movie "Clueless", went on to become a Fox commentator and is now running for Congress in California's 44th district in the upcoming November 2018 election.

• A major new blockbuster game, "Far Cry 5," launched on Tuesday.
• In "Far Cry 5," you play as a sheriff's deputy attempting to take down a violent religious cult.
• "Far Cry 5" is full of imagery and dialogue that feel absurdly out of place in the modern United States.

Over the weekend, hundreds of thousands of people across the United States — led by teenagers — participated in March for Our Lives rallies.

The movement's goal, according to its website, was simple: "To demand that a comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address these gun issues."

The March for Our Lives protests were sparked by the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman killed 17 students and staff members with a legally purchased AR-15 assault-style rifle.

There's no way the video game publisher Ubisoft could've known that its latest blockbuster game, "Far Cry 5," would arrive at such a contentious moment in the ongoing US debate over guns. The game comes out Tuesday, and it's hard to imagine a piece of media that's more tonally and thematically out of place.

Here's a brief summary: You play as a small-town sheriff's deputy in Montana, where a violent religious cult has taken over. Your job is to take down the religious cult, and you do this by exploring the game's massive open world and systematically dismantling the cult's bureaucracy.

More simply: You shoot a lot of people and make a lot of things explode. It's very similar to previous "Far Cry" games in this respect, and, on paper, it sounds harmless.

In practice, "Far Cry 5" is a ham-fisted mess of American stereotypes and wink-wink, nudge-nudge jokes about gun violence. It feels like the wrong time to make this joke about an AR-15 considering that's the gun that was used in the Parkland shooting:

And that's the basest foundation of the kind of tone "Far Cry 5" takes with regard to American culture.

Much of the game's dialogue and characters are poorly done caricatures of American stereotypes: the sheriff, the preacher, the conspiracy theorist, etc. They all have something vaguely obvious to say, often with a subtle reference to today's culture. It's all stuff that would feel right at home in a side mission in "Grand Theft Auto 5" — a game that came out in 2013.

But it's 2018, and the US is more divided than ever. White nationalists are emboldened, teenagers are marching in the streets for gun control, and the White House seems particularly unstable.

Maybe it's not the best time for this kind of imagery?

Or this:

Or this:

Maybe I'm just too precious of a snowflake, but that seems unlikely given my interests. I love many violent games, and I've argued passionately before that playing violent video games doesn't cause real-life violence. I wouldn't argue that "Far Cry 5" is an exception.

It is, however, a tasteless game from bottom to top — from weapon descriptions, to character types, to dialogue to imagery. And not the good kind of tasteless that has something to say, but the juvenile kind that s--tposts on Reddit for fun.

Given the state of the country, "Far Cry 5" feels like something made for an alternate reality where mass shootings aren't common, where there isn't a raging culture war between so-called Red and Blue states, where there isn't yet another misinformed scapegoating of violent video games unfolding.

It's a tremendous shame, because the actual game parts of "Far Cry 5" — the shooting, the sneaking, the progression system, etc. — are excellent. But when yet another bad guy rhapsodizes about the collapse of society and it sounds like a presidential campaign rally, it's hard to not be repulsed.

Previous games in the series applied the same open-world, first-person shooter formula to fictional worlds full of overblown stereotypes. "Far Cry 5" went all-in on US culture as its setting, and it stands out as one of the most anachronistic games I've ever played.

Keeping a new-media juggernaut like Netflix running requires a large team of employees, including designers, engineers, managers, and customer service representatives.

Netflix is willing to shell out large salaries to make sure it recruits people who can deal with the fast pace of its product development, seeking out employees who can thrive in a hands-off work environment.

A recent Bloomberg report detailed how the company has often poached talent from competitors by offering "as much as double their pay."

Using data from Glassdoor, we compiled a list of the highest salaries you can earn while working at Netflix, ranked from lowest to highest. 

(Note: Some positions listed on Glassdoor were excluded because there weren't enough shared salaries. Each average salary included in this roundup has at least 5 reviews.)

16. Customer Service Supervisor

Salary: $62,828

A customer service supervisor oversees the work of customer service representatives, who at Netflix surely deal with at least a few angry people who just want to watch a movie. Glassdoor reviewers describe the customer service department as flexible and not built on a script. But one reviewer says that sometimes customer service is also the last department to know about changes in the company.

15. Operations Manager

Salary: $77,799

Operations managers deal with the day-to-day operations of a company, monitoring and managing operational costs, according to Payscale. Netflix is a company where the operations of the company has shifted significantly over the past decade, as it moved away from DVD and toward streaming. As one Glassdoor reviewer wrote in about the DVD side in 2009, “Relax. You will all be out of work in 5-7 years when everything goes online streaming.”

14. Executive Assistant

Salary: $98,473

Most executive assistant jobs at Netflix entail organizing and assisting "demanding and fast moving" teams. In a Glassdoor review, an assistant from the company's Los Angeles office described the culture as "extraordinary, no yelling allowed, respect for all demanded, smiles down the hallways."

At the moment, Michael Avenatti may be the most high-profile lawyer in America. The 47-year-old seasoned litigator has made headlines in recent weeks thanks to his client, adult film actress and director Stormy Daniels.

Just days before the 2016 US election, a lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels to keep her silent about an affair she allegedly had with Trump in 2006.

Avenatti has since sued the president, on Daniels' behalf, accusing Trump of invalidating a non-disclosure agreement. Avenatti says the violation allows Daniels to reveal her side of the story to the public, and on Sunday, she did just that in a blockbuster "60 Minutes" interview on CBS News.

As Daniels' profile has risen, so has Avenatti's. Here's what you should know about him:

Avenatti graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996. Three years later, he received his JD degree from George Washington University.

During college and law school, Avenatti worked for The Research Group, a campaign research firm founded by Rahm Emmanuel, former President Barack Obama's chief of staff and the current Democratic mayor of Chicago.

After graduating law school, Avenatti worked at O'Melveny & Myers, a high-powered Los Angeles law firm. Over the course of his legal career, he has contributed to several high-profile cases involving Paris Hilton, Jim Carrey, and members of the rock band The Eagles.

• R Kelly's former girlfriend Kitti Jones has accused the R&B singer of sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl.
• In a new BBC documentary, Jones says he introduced her to a girl he said he had been "training" as a "sex pet" since she was 14.
• Kelly and his representatives have not commented on the allegations, which are not the first made against the singer.
• He was found not guilty of child-pornography charges in 2008; accused of sexual coercion, physical abuse, and forced starvation by Jones in 2007; and allegedly held six women in an abusive "cult" the same year.

An ex-girlfriend of R Kelly has accused the singer of sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl.

In a new BBC documentary, titled "R Kelly: Sex, Girls and Videotapes," 34-year-old Kitti Jones claimed that during the couple's two-year relationship, which started in 2011, she was "groomed" by the R&B singer and forced to have sex with others more than 10 times.

She said that Kelly introduced her to a girl whom he said he had "trained" since she was 14. She said he made the woman crawl on the floor toward her and perform oral sex on her, saying: "This is my f---ing pet. I trained her. She’s going to teach you how to be with me."

Of the encounter, Jones said: "I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I’d say, and her mannerisms were like mine. That’s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his 'pets.'"

While Kelly and his representatives did not comment on the accusations to the BBC, this is not the first time Jones has accused Kelly, who has faced and denied allegations throughout his career of sex with underage girls.

He was found not guilty of child-pornography charges in 2008 after he was accused of filming and photographing sexual encounters with a 14-year-old girl, according to The Guardian, which reported that he had also settled a number of other similar cases.

In 1998, he reportedly settled a case with Tiffany Hawkins, who alleged she had had a sexual relationship with Kelly for three years starting when she was 15.

Jones has accused R Kelly before

In an interview with Rolling Stone in October, Jones accused the singer of sexual coercion, physical abuse, and forced starvation. She claimed that when she confronted him over the alleged child abuse, "He would start kicking me, telling me I was a stupid b---- [and] don’t ever get in his business."

She was also one of the women cited in a BuzzFeed News report from July the same year, which alleged that Kelly had been manipulating the lives of six women in an abusive "cult" in which they were required to have sex with the singer. Kelly denied the claims.

As part of the BBC documentary, Kelly's ex-manager, Rocky Bivens, also said he had attended a "secret wedding ceremony" between R Kelly and the now deceased R&B star Aaliyah, who was 15 at the time, a marriage Kelly has denied in the past.

Jones said Kelly is "very abusive, physically, mentally, verbally." She added: "I think he gets some sort of satisfaction within himself, knowing that he’s taking control over other people."

Hollywood is always starving for young and fresh ideas, and currently there’s a crop of talent that can give the movie industry just that.

It’s already happened with the likes of Ryan Coogler (“Black Panther”) and Damien Chazelle (“La La Land”), but there are a handful more that are ripe for some major breakthroughs. These are the directors who will continue to shape Hollywood for years to come.

Here are 15 of the best filmmakers working today under 35:

SEE ALSO: "Ready Player One" is the most enjoyable Steven Spielberg movie in over 15 years — and will take you on a wild ride

Antonio Campos

Only 34, Campos has four features and episodes of “The Punisher” and “The Sinner” under his belt — not to mention the numerous other titles he’s produced. He’s best known for his slow burn style of dark material like “Simon Killer” and “Christine.” 

Damien Chazelle

He’s a best director Oscar winner and one of the most sought-after filmmakers in Hollywood — and he’s only 33. The “La La Land” director has dazzled audiences with his original storytelling that also includes the acclaimed “Whiplash” and the upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic, “First Man,” starring Ryan Gosling.

Ryan Coogler

Believe it or not, there’s a director younger than Chazelle that everyone in Hollywood is drooling over. Coogler, 31, has just come off directing the historic box office hit “Black Panther.” This is after two other acclaimed movies, Sundance winner “Fruitvale Station” and “Creed.” Coogler pretty much has his pick of anything he wants in the industry for the foreseeable future.

I’ve seen every episode of every Marvel show on Netflix: "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones," "Luke Cage," "Iron Fist," "The Defenders," and "The Punisher."

But I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly what’s happened on any of them, because while they're all good (with the exception of "Iron Fist"), they're not memorable.

Netflix's Marvel shows are visually interesting, the performances are excellent, and they take a "realistic" look at life as a superhero compared to the MCU. The characters are compelling and so are their sidekicks. And unlike many superhero movies, all the shows try to send a broader message and theme.

But the villains and plot of all the seasons we've seen so far? Not compelling — so much so that I cannot remember what the heck even happened in the bulk of the episodes.

So why can't I stop watching them?

The process of watching season two of "Jessica Jones," the majority of which bored me until an exciting reveal late in the season, inspired me to dig into why I have stuck with Marvel's Netflix shows.

I broke down what I do remember from all the Marvel Netflix shows, then tried to figure out what common threads they have that resonated with me (or didn't).

"Daredevil"

Season one (2015): Daredevil, lawyer by day, must save Hell's Kitchen from ninjas and a bald man. I don't remember the plot well, but the bad guy had all his meetings on the docks. Another thing that is central to season one is that Daredevil can't tell his friends that he is the vigilante of Hell's Kitchen (to protect them).

Season two (2016): Season two was basically a prequel to season one of "The Punisher." The Punisher punished people, Daredevil was mad about it, they fought (and sort of made up), the Punisher was on trial, and then Elektra came. 

How boring is it? Pretty boring, but Charlie Cox is great as Daredevil. "Daredevil" also has the strongest side characters in Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. The acting in general is stellar.

"Jessica Jones"

Season one (2016): Jessica Jones is a private investigator who drunkenly runs her business out of her apartment, which, like Daredevil's, is in Hell's Kitchen. David Tenant is creepy and excellent as Kilgrave, the only Netflix Marvel villain I can name off the top of my head. He can manipulate people to do whatever he wants, which makes for some interesting narrative structures. By the end of the season, Jessica kills Kilgrave and people think she's a murderer because they don't know the backstory.

Season 2 (2018): Jessica is fighting with most of the people she knows, and she's on a journey to figure out who is responsible for giving her super powers, and why. She finds out but the season doesn't get interesting until episode seven. 

How boring is it?It is the least boring Marvel Netflix show. It can still become a bit boring at times, but it definitely has its moments. 

"Luke Cage"

Season one (2016): Luke Cage finally gets us out of Hell's Kitchen, which is refreshing. We had already met Luke Cage in "Jessica Jones," but in his own series we get his origin story, and watch him save Harlem (which is to Luke Cage what Hell's Kitchen is to Daredevil). Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali played the villain before he was an Oscar winner. 

How boring is it? The plot can get boring, but the actors really keep it interesting, and it gives us the most we've seen of Rosario Dawson's character.

• "Roseanne" came back to ABC Tuesday after over 20 years. 
• In the premiere, Roseanne is a Trump supporter, and her sister is a Hillary supporter. 
• Some people criticized the show for Roseanne's Trump support, but others applauded it for the way it represents a lot of American families in a time of significant political divide. 

"Roseanne," one of America's most beloved sitcoms, is back after over 20 years. And in its 10th season premiere it gets political in a way no show has since Trump was elected president.

In the show, Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) is a Trump supporter, and hasn't been on speaking terms with her Hillary-supporting sister Jackie (Oscar nominee Laurie Metcalf) since the election. Things have gotten so bad that Roseanne just pretends Jackie is dead.

Throughout the episode, Roseanne's daughter Darlene (Sarah Gilbert) tries to help her mom and her aunt find some common ground. However, Jackie comes to Roseanne's house dressed in a bright pink "Nasty Woman" T-shirt and a pink hat from the Women's March. That doesn't help matters between them, but by the end of the episode, Roseanne and Jackie find that common ground Darlene wanted. 

A lot of people who were fans of the original show found the fact that Roseanne is a Trump supporter upsetting. But other people applauded the show for depicting an American not usually shown on TV these days. 

Some people were loving it: 

And others, not so much:

• "Goonies" actor Corey Feldman said on Twitter that he was stabbed and hospitalized on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
• The actor shared pictures of himself in the hospital, adding that we was "OK" and describing the attack as an "attempted homicide."
• Feldman wrote that he believed the attack was "connected" to "mounting threats" he said he has received on social media, ostensibly in connection to his efforts in exposing Hollywood pedophilia. 

"Goonies" actor Corey Feldman was stabbed and hospitalized Tuesday night in Los Angeles, the actor wrote on Twitter.

Feldman, 46, shared two pictures of himself in a hospital gown on Twitter, adding that we was "OK" and describing the attack as an "attempted homicide."

"IM IN THE HOSPITAL! I WAS ATTACKED 2NITE! A MAN OPENED MY CAR DOOR & STABBED ME W SOMETHING! PLEASE SAY PRAYERS 4 US!," Feldman wrote in the tweet. "THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY MYSELF & MY SECURITY IN THE CAR, WHEN 3 MEN APPROACHED! WHILE SECURITY WAS DISTRACTED, W A GUY A CAR PULLED UP & ATTACKED! I’M OK!"

Feldman went on to write that he believed the attack was "connected" to "mounting threats" he said he has received on social media.

"@LAPD R CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE CASE AS AN ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE! I HAVE HAD MOUNTING THREATS ON ALL SM PLATFORMS BY THIS VILE 'WOLFPACK,'" Feldman wrote. "& THIS IM SURE IS A RESULT OF THOSE NEGATIVE ACTIONS! I HAVE REASON 2 BELIEVE ITS ALL CONNECTED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HOW SICK R THESE PPL?!?"

Feldman has been talking to the media about his intention to expose Hollywood pedophiles since last year, when he announced he was raising money to make a documentary on the producers he alleged abused him as a child. He said in a video announcing the crowdfunding effort for the documentary in October that he felt had put his life in danger by doing so.

"I had a near-death experience last night where I felt like I was almost going to be killed," Feldman said. "Two trucks came speeding at me at the same time on a crosswalk. And then several of my band members decided to quit because they decided they were afraid for their lives."

In November, the LAPD launched and later dropped an investigation into Feldman's allegations of sexual abuse from his childhood, saying that the alleged incident was "out of statute," according to California law.

NOW WATCH: Why 555 is always used for phone numbers on TV and in movies

With "Billions" back on Showtime and "Homeland" currently airing as well, it's a good time to take stock of all the great TV the premium network has brought us over the years.

Business Insider went back in time to rank all the network's notable original scripted programs from the last 10 years based on how well they did with critics.

Showtime launched in 1976 and is now owned by CBS. Its original programming took off in the 1990s with shows like "Twin Peaks" and "Stargate SG-1." But it really grew into a powerhouse in the late 2000s with shows like "Weeds" and "Dexter." Most recently, "Homeland," "Shameless," "The Affair," and a "Twin Peaks" revival have been prominent on the network.

But which did critics love the most?

To answer that question, we used review aggregator site Metacritic to determine the ranking, excluding variety and sports programs (and shows that didn't get enough reviews to qualify). We calculated the average score for each show based on the scores of the various seasons.  

If any season of the show aired in 2008 and beyond, we counted it. "Twin Peaks" was an unusual case, as the series originally aired in the 1990s but returned for a special third season last year called "Twin Peaks: The Return." With that in mind, we counted the series on the list, and calculated the average score of all three seasons.

Below are the 31 notable Showtime original shows to air in the last decade, ranked from worst to best:

31. "Our Cartoon President"

Critics score: 42

Number of seasons: 1

Years aired: 2018

Summary: Based on a character introduced on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," this comedy follows an animated President Trump and his staff through their chaotic White House, but it has failed to land with critics.

30. "Roadies"

Critics score: 47

Number of seasons: 1

Years aired: 2016

Summary: Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino starred as members of a rock band's production crew, and the show followed their lives on the road. 

29. "Happyish"

Critics score: 49

Number of seasons: 1

Years aired: 2015

Summary: A man's life is turned upside down when he's fired from his job, and his anti-depressants fail to make him happy. 

Nintendo is on a roll, with no end in sight.

The company's latest big game — "Super Mario Odyssey" — received near-universal praise, and the Nintendo Switch is beating the competition month after month in sales.

There's a good reason for that: The Nintendo Switch is the best console to buy. Here's why!

SEE ALSO: With over 70 million sold, the PS4 is the most popular game console in the world — these are its 29 best games

1. The Switch has the best lineup of games ...

Since launching in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has taken the mantle as the must-have console for playing the best games. This is the number one reason to buy the Switch: It's the only place to play the best games available right now.

Yes, there are excellent exclusives on the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. "Horizon Zero Dawn" on PS4 and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on Xbox One stick out as strong arguments for each, and that's not wrong.

But let's be clear: The Switch is stacked with huge, new games that can be played only on the Switch.

... like "Super Mario Odyssey" ...

The latest hit that can be played only on the Switch is "Super Mario Odyssey." It has an average score of 97/100 on Metacritic, putting it among the 10 highest-rated games.

It's highly rated because it's an outrageously good game, full of delight and surprise around every turn. "Odyssey" is the latest example of Nintendo's approach to major games of late: Take classic franchises and evolve them to new heights.

It's hard to overstate the quality of "Super Mario Odyssey"; it's clever, and massive, and beautiful, and deeply referential, and so much more. It is, frankly put, one of the best Nintendo games of the past decade — perhaps of all time.

... "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" ...

Whether you've been playing "Mario Kart" games for years or you've never touched one, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" is a tremendous delight. 

It's the definitive "Mario Kart" experience, with a ridiculous number of courses and playable characters. Best of all, the Switch becomes a portable "Mario Kart" machine if you take the console in portable mode — each Joy-Con becomes a gamepad, and the Switch is the screen. Being able to casually challenge a friend to "Mario Kart" by simply having the Switch with you is pretty incredible.

Crucially, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" is a perfect game to play alone or with friends. The vast majority of the time I've spent with the game has been sitting next to my wife, playing together online against the world. Since the game came out in late April 2017, it's been a recurring delight in my apartment.

• Sean Penn's first novel just made its debut and it's getting terrible reviews. 
• "Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff" is a satirical novel that's a comment on the current culture in America.
• One critic called it a "garbage novel" and another called it "a book-shaped thing."
• Penn's been doing press for the book, which included an awkward appearance on Colbert where he smoked and said he was on Ambien. 

"What have you done this time, Sean Penn?" Jeff Giles of The New York Times wrote of Oscar winner Sean Penn's debut novel. 

Penn has been all over the media recently, but he's not promoting a new movie, or an edgy HBO show. He's promoting his debut novel, a satirical book called "Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff," published on March 27. The book is described on Amazon as a "darkly funny" novel about "a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin."

The reviews are terrible and his media appearances have been bizarre. 

On "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert, a disheveled Penn said he was a bit groggy because he had taken Ambien. He smoked a cigarette throughout the entire interview. Thankfully, Colbert came prepared with an ash tray. 

Penn also made a strange appearance on the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron." When Maron asked him about his relationship with his ex-wife Robin Wright ("House of Cards"), he gave a long, confusing answer about how their views on parenting are different. When Maron asked him to be more specific, he said it was too personal.

Penn's novel ends with a poem about the #MeToo movement that hasn't been well-received, especially because rumors about Penn physically abusing ex-wife Madonna have swirled for years — appearing in the 1991 book, “Madonna Unauthorized,” and being the subject of a 2015 defamation suit Penn brought against Lee Daniels. Both Madonna and Penn have denied that any domestic violence took place.

Here are some of the most scathing things critics and people on Twitter have said about Sean Penn's debut novel:

"What have you done this time, Sean Penn? What is this book-shaped thing that lies before us? Is it just a lark — a nutty novel you wrote because you’re famous and they let you?"

The New York Times also calls the satirical novel plotless and "conspicuously un-fun."

"Penn delivers prose as if he were gunning for a prize from the American Alliteration Association."

In a review with with "What Is Sean Penn Thinking?" in the headline, The Washington Post points out alliterations in the book including “Dreams died like destiny’s deadwood,” "Spurley sloppily slurps,” and “racial rancor by Ruger in a country rife with rule of law.”

"Scattered throughout is the sort of gleeful racism and misogyny that qualifies Penn’s work as 'darkly comic.'"

HuffPost calls the book a "garbage novel" that is "nonsensical, unpleasant and left me sweaty with mingled horror and confusion."
