Spider-Man Tops U.S. Game Sales for September
The September 2018 NPD results are in, and Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4 was the month’s best-selling game in the United States.
Though topping the month is impressive enough, NPD notes that it has quickly become the third best-selling game year-to-date across all platforms, behind fellow PS4 exclusive God of War at number two and Far Cry 5 at number one.
Spider-Man also netted the biggest launch month in dollar sales for any Playstation exclusive in history, and generated the highest dollar sales during its launch compared to any game this year, achieving launch sales that are 37 percent higher than the combined launch month sales of every other Spider-Man game released since the NPD began tracking game sales in 1995.
Disney Eyes Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot With Deadpool Writers
It looks like Disney is looking to reboot the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, with Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick in early talks to pen the script.
As reported by Deadline, not much else is known about the potential reboot, other than Jerry Bruckheimer will continue to act as producer for the franchise. It is currently unclear if Johnny Depp, who famously played Captain Jack Sparrow in the current five films in the franchise, will be involved in the reboot.
This proposed reboot runs counter to rumors that a Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is in development, though it’s possible the films are one and the same. These rumors suggested that the writers of Dead Men Tell No Tales, Jeff Nathanson and Terry Rossio, were working on the script, and that the film’s co-director Joachim Rønning would return to helm the project.

The Most ’90s Movies of the 1990s
Some movies are timeless. Others are hopelessly mired in the time they were created. It's not an insult, it's just a part of their programming. Saturday Night Fever is a classic motion picture, but it's hard to imagine being made the same way in the 1990s, isn't it?
We've got some serious distance from the 1990s nowadays, and it's getting easier to point out which films are the most '90s out of all of them. Some of them are classics, some of them are turkeys, but all of them were very particular to the time they were created. They've got 1990s fashions, fads, film styles and soundtracks that rocket us right back to the turn of the century, and we kinda loved them all. Even the embarrassing ones.
Bethesda Details Fallout 76’s PVP

As reported by CNN, Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer announced construction on the ship resumed following a financial dispute that began in 2015 between Blue Star Line parent company Mineralogy and the Chinese government owned Citic Limited was resolved.
