I hate to perpetuate Idaho’s old motto of being the “Potato State,” because with our recreation, awesome scenery, and great people, our close-knit panhandled state is SO. MUCH. MORE. But, you have to give credit where credit is due — Idaho makes some wickedly awesome potato entrees (and desserts) of every kind. From french fries and the meanest baked potato in the west, to a unique grilled spud experience, look no further than these 10 Idaho eateries across the state:...

Today, I’m going to show you a few things about Utah that aren’t so great. Some features are simply annoying — others are deadly. All should be avoided. Driving on Bangerter Highway During Rush Hour Garrett/flickr Bangerter Highway, with its many traffic lights, is not only gridlocked during rush hour, it’s dangerous too....

Avengers: Endgame’s opening box office record will never be surpassed according to the film’s directors. Joe and Anthony Russo spoke to Variety about their landmark achievement. In the months since theaters have opened back up, the lofty totals from 2019 seem very far away. “It will never happen again,” Joe claimed. “That was an apex of that era of theatrical filmmaking. When we started AGBO, we already felt the winds shifting....

Legendary comic book writer J.M. DeMatteis, who co-created the Creature Commandos with Pat Broderick in 1980, was recently musing on social media about the big-screen prospects for the characters. While he didn’t quite nail the prediction – today, James Gunn and Peter Safran announced that DC was launching an animated series based on the characters – they could still make their way to the big screen. Gunn said that they were casting actors who could move back and forth between the two formats intentionally – and with a Swamp Thing movie in development, it would not be shocking to see Frankenstein and company stomping their way into the live-action DC Universe....

It’s certainly not hard to find things to do in Maine. No matter the season, there are plenty of guidebooks to give you advice on where to go, what to see and how to eat.

We love the tourist attractions as much as the next person....

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy actor Jon McLaren is campaigning to play Wolverine in the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was a surprise critical darling last year, but it failed to be the big financial hit that something like Marvel’s Spider-Man managed to be. It was praised for its gameplay, but it really received the most acclaim for its beautiful story and even better characters. It felt like it belonged within the James Gunn films, without completely ripping them off....

If there is one thing that fans of The CW’s The Flash have wanted since the series’ debut, it’s the arrival of Cobalt Blue, a character who, in comics, is not only a major threat for Barry Allen/The Flash but is also his secret twin brother making his nemesis turn even more dramatic. For years, fans of the series have theorized that Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) could be the show’s take on Cobalt Blue, whose name in comics is Malcolm Thawne, but after his death in Season 1, hope that the Arrowverse series would take on that particular storyline has waned....
