If you’re into weird, strange and downright scary species normal humans rarely get to see, you should definitely consider following Russian fisherman Roman Fedortsov on Twitter.Β According to his profile and the Moscow Times, Fedortsov works on a fishing trawler that operates out of Murmansk, Russia, and he frequently shares some of the oddities he finds in the net while out fishing in the deep sea.Β Here are some horrifying highlights of the photos he’s shared recently.

Ben Affleck is out to make Batman great again

December 20, 2016 | Kevin

Ben Affleck who starred in β€˜Batman vs. Superman’ which received mixed reviews, is set to write, direct, and star in an upcoming Batman solo film within in the DC Cinematic Universe. The Oscar-winner is not looking to just toe the line and cash in on the established comic book brand.

β€˜The Batman’ is slated for a release in 2017, but there is unrest on the DC side apparently over a recent interview where Affleck stated he’s not willing to make a β€œmediocre” film with the classic superhero. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly recently who dubbed the veteran actor one of their Entertainers of the Year, Affleck laid out his discontent with accpeting medocrity going forward as the Caped Crusader.

β€œI’m still working on the script. I’m not going to write and direct anything that I don’t think is good enough to be made. I’m definitely going to make sure I have something that is special-there’s not enough money in the world to make a mediocre version of Batman worth it.”

Let’s hope Affleck can deliver for all of us who left BvS a little disappointed. Personally, I thought Affleck’s Batman delivered all the Gotam City goods.

December 20, 2016 | Kevin

One of the biggest Cubs fans in the world is going to bring something special to the Rosemont area. According to Eater Chicago, American showbiz icon Bill Murray and his brothers have struck a verbal agreement to open an 11,000 square foot restaurant near O’Hare International Airport, may possibly be themed after Murray’s golf comedy film, β€˜Caddyshack’. This could be the second β€˜Caddyshack’ restaurant with the first being built on a golf course in St. Augustine, Florida. What’s to say this isn’t going to be a ‘Ghostbusters’ themed restaurant? They would have to the Ecto-Cooler from Hi-C right?Β Time can only tell.

Casey Neistat made Youtube gold again today in a sponsored video, where the thrill-seeking vlogger hitched a gravity-defying ride on his snowboard across a powder-white winter landscape connected to a powerful drone. It makes for some beautiful images, seeing Neistat flying above the ground at some points, making an amazing holiday moment to go viral across the tubes of the web. The soundtrack of ODB and Bing Crosby oddly blend well together with the man-in-the-cold-air visuals.

Neistat with his massive online following, are set to leave YouTube for CNN, who purchased his social media video app Beme in a new partnership. TechCrunch has more on that whole story here.Β 

Tonight Show’s Quest Love Drums High On Instagram Live After Wisdom Tooth Removal

Tonight Show / Roots drummer, Quest Love took to Instagram Live immediately after leaving the dentist from a routine wisdom tooth extraction. Went to the Tonight Show studios and started warming up. At first he was having trouble maintaining a break beat. Then he said, “I’m going to play Herbie Hancock’s – Actual Proof to get my mind right”. (not an easy song to play when you’re not on dental drugs) It was beautiful. And the less than 300 people watching got a cool mini show of his amazing skills. Quest Love undoubtedly one of the best drummers out there has always been involved with social media, and today I think he won IG LIVE!! Follow him if you don’t already. He’s awesome!! instagram.com/questlove
