Steven Spielberg is currently directing a big screen adaptation of the novel Ready Player One, which is a story that pays tribute to the awesomeness of the 1980s. The novel contains a ton of references to Spielberg's classic films, and we'll see a few of them in the movie but not all of them. The director previously explained that he cut a lot of his own references out except for the DeLoreon and apparently Gremlins.
Some set photos have surfaced featuring some wall art that will be in the background of the film and that wall art references Gremlins, DC's The Flash, what looks to be Street Fighter, and more. You can see all of the photos below thanks to Twitter user Michelle Green.

Now that the presidential election is over, it's time to put to rest one of the campaign's stranger urban legends. Was Blair Underwood's L.A. Law character based on a young Barack Obama?
L.A. Law debuted on September 15, 1986. The NBC series was created by prolific Steven Bochco (Hill Street Blues) and gave a big break to David E. Kelley, the talented writer who later created legal shows like Ally McBeal, The Practice, and Boston Legal. In its day, L.A. Law was a cornerstone of NBC's mega-successful Thursday night line-up. Following a group of lawyers at a Los Angeles law firm, the series showcases actors like Corbin Bernsen, Jill Eikenberry, Alan Rachins, Michael Tucker, Richard Dysart, Larry Drake, Susan Ruttan, Susan Dey, Jimmy Smits, Harry Hamlin, Michele Greene, John Spencer, Sheila Kelley, and Amanda Donohoe.
Blair Underwood joined the show's cast in season two as a young hotshot black attorney named Jonathan Rollins.

Writing, directing, editing and starring in her first feature, Helen Lesnick makes a strong case for delegating responsibility with "A Family Affair", a forced romantic comedy about a Jewish lesbian who's torn between two lovers.
Unlike the title character in last year's "Kissing Jessica Stein", Lesnick's Rachel Rosen isn't at all conflicted about her sexual identity -- she knows exactly what she's searching for, and it's her "Ms. Rightowitz".
But also unlike the charming "Kissing", the Lesnick variation suffers from inexperienced filmmaking and a self-absorbed lead character who fails to elicit any truly tangible degree of audience sympathy.
While Lesnick's ambition is admirable, the end result will fail to cater to viewers beyond the big-city gay and lesbian milieu.
Fleeing New York after a traumatic breakup with her last girlfriend, Lesnick's wise-cracking Rachel takes refuge at the San Diego home of her parents, the tireless, smothering Leah (Arlene Golonka) and her supportive hubby, Sam (Michael Moerman), a man of very, very few words.
With Mom keeping busy with various PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) activities, Rachel bides her time going on a dispiriting series of blind dates -- until one fateful evening when she hooks up with Christine (Erica Shaffer), a sweet massage therapist.
The two initially hit it off, with the smitten Christine even going as far as taking conversion classes to become a perfect Jewish wife, but mopey Rachel is dragging her feet. It seems she still carries a torch for her ex, Reggie (Michele Greene), who has popped up in California and is determined to win Rachel back.
It might have been easier to overlook Lesnick's awkwardly staged scenes if she had been able to make the self-centered Rachel a little more likable. As it stands, it's hard to see why the adoring Christine would be attracted to her in the first place, unless it was that caustic wit that the other characters keep mentioning.
On the performance front -- with the film's budget-conscious mix of professional, amateur and nonactors -- there's a whole lot of mugging going on, with the notable exceptions of Shaffer and Greene, who broke some TV ground back in 1991 with a same-sex kiss (with Amanda Donohoe) on "L.A. Law".
As the unstoppable Reggie, Greene is a bright burst of energy in this otherwise labored "Affair".
