It’s that time of year again… time, that is, for an Evil Dead 4 rumour.

Fourth Pirates of the Caribbean instalment to feature less than three dozen sub-plots, star reveals

It’s been a decent decade for films, all told. Not as great as the 80’s for sure, but then it has been scientifically proven that that’s impossible.

Gibson’s fall from grace continues to gather momentum.

Altogether now: “Aw, diddums…”
