The astronomical success of Barbie along with the accolades for The Fall Guy have people recalling another beloved Ryan Gosling role: Holland March, better known as one-half of the titular Nice Guys. Twitter users have been begging for a sequel to the Shane Black 2016 crime comedy for some time now, and they finally got their answer, though it’s probably not the one they wanted to hear. Gosling recently told ComicBook that Angry Birds of all things likely killed a potential Nice Guys follow-up. “So much of a sequel is decided by the opening weekend of a movie, and we opened up against Angry Birds,” he explained. “So Angry Birds just destroyed us.” 

Looks like your mom’s favorite mobile game wins this round.

Speaking of Barbie, the billion-dollar doll opened the floodgates for a slew of toy- and game-based IP to enter the development sphere with projects based on everything from Monopoly to Hot Wheels. While not new to the world of adaptation, Clue is also benefiting from this feeding frenzy. Sony Pictures just closed a deal with Hasbro, granting them TV and film rights for the murder mystery game, along with the ability to reboot the 1985 classic that first brought the whodunit to the big screen. 

There’s no game-playing, of course, on the timeline. But there are good old-fashioned jokes. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a cat with a little getaway, an NBA player who should leave and a bug’s life.
