There will always be an endless debate between the movie passionate fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe as to whether Captain America: Civil War or Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice more satisfyingly tackled the story of superheroes at war. ScreenCrush makes the case for why Civil War comes out on top in this comparison, and it's hard to argue with the points they make.
Finally, Nerdist created this trailer for a faux documentary imagining if Jim Carrey took on the same method acting process in How the Grinch Stole Christmas as he did when he played Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon. Using clips from the Netflix documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond and the live-action Dr. Seuss adaptation, this fan trailer actually makes me wish this movie was real.
