| Posted: 16 Feb 2015 06:00 PM PST Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for Presidents' Day-related movie culture. Brad Neeley's NSFW animated short Washington is still hilarious after a thousand viewings: The Impatient Lincoln takes one part of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln a long way: This poster parodying Walking Tall and starring Channing Tatum as Teddy Roosevelt was made in response to the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie. I still want to see this one more. Ronald Reagan may have been the first Hollywood actor to become president, but he wasn't the first movie star. We can count Dwight D.

| Marvel Studios Countdown: Three Things Marvel Should Do with Spider-Man Posted: 16 Feb 2015 05:00 PM PST The rumors finally became reality. Marvel Studios can use Spider-Man in an upcoming movie, and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and former Sony chairman Amy Pascal will work together as producers to bring the next Spider-Man solo film to the big screen.

| Read the Letter Sidney Poitier Wrote to President Roosevelt That May Have Saved His Hollywood Career Posted: 16 Feb 2015 03:00 PM PST Sidney Poitier was the first African-American actor to win an Academy Award, he made a successful transition from being in front of the camera to behind it, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama, and he was knighted. Those are just a few of the incredible honors bestowed upon the talented actor who grew up the impoverished son of a dirt farmer in the Bahamas. After coming to New York in search of a better life, he worked menial jobs as a dishwasher and slept in a bus-terminal bathroom. It was a difficult beginning, and he joined the Army hoping for more. When that didn't work out for Poitier, he found himself auditioning at the American Negro Theatre, and his career started to take off. It almost never happened...
