The Lost Fourth Segment of a National Lampoon Film: Henry Jaglom’s Vanishing Act
A Title Hollywood Never Wanted Naming a movie The Bomb has always sounded like inviting disaster. In the film industry, the word “bomb” is shorthand for failure — the kind that wipes out profits and careers. The metaphor has existed almost as long as Hollywood itself, so it’s no surprise studios avoid it like a curse.

What if Wicked's Ending Actually Revealed the Truth?
Whether the ending is that the "wicked witch" really is dead, she isn't dead and Glinda believes she is, or Glinda knows while she takes on the ruling of Oz, the reason for change in Oz is not fully known amongst the citizens what the full truth really was and Elphaba gets to remain under the guise of twisted tales forever. It gives way to a political message about what we believe we know may not be the full truth. There are many fan fictions and rewritten endings to the tale. I was coming across these while looking into the reasons for the choice of ending. The creation of a tragic tale of a person ostracized by society because others could not see Elphaba for her true motive, and only by the motives that others made up for her.

Cattle Annie and Little Britches: The Forgotten Outlaw Girls Who Became Western Myth
America loves mythology. We especially love creating our own—mythic heroes carved from nostalgia, grit, and the wide-open promise of the frontier. For decades, Hollywood’s simplest path to building larger-than-life heroes was to retell the legends of the Old West. Outlaws became icons; criminals became folk heroes; ordinary lives were inflated into something symbolic, something aspirational, something distinctly American.
