Star Wars
Star Wars movie facts are great for fans of the franchise. You might be curious about who plays which role in the movie and who is the evil Darth Vader. Darth Vader is portrayed by David Prowse. R2-D2, Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke Skywalker and Han Solo (Mark Hamill) all appear in the film. C-3PO, a robotic character voiced in part by Anthony Daniels may be something you've heard.

This expert, who also worked on the 2001: A Space Odyssey film, pointed out that the monkey would easily pull off the mask. The director, Jim Henson, recommended Frank Oz as Yoda instead.
The Godfather
"The Godfather," one of the best films ever made, is an absolute classic. Based on Mario Puzo’s novel, "The Godfather", it is a classic story about crime, murder and family dynamics. Marlon Browno stars as Don Vito Corleone, a mobster that leads an underworld criminal gang. Michael, Don Vito’s youngest son, reluctantly enlists in the Mafia and becomes involved in the family business.
The Godfather was originally meant to be a low-budget movie about gangsters. The mafia-themed movie did not go according to plan. It was actually originally set to be made as a low cost crime movie directed Sergio Leone. However, the film's producers were not pleased with the script, so they decided to hire another director, Mario Puzo. Al Pacino was chosen to play Michael. Martin Sheen however, was not considered.
The Godfather cat
Marlon Browno plays Don Vito Corleone, his cat. It is one of The Godfather's most iconic scenes. Although the cat was never written into the script, Francis Ford Coppola found it on the studio lot, and decided to include it in the film. Although the iconic Godfather cat image is a classic, the actor's dialogue was disrupted by it.
Filming of The Godfather included about 120 locations, mostly in New York City. It was also filmed at the Hearst estate located in Beverly Hills. Some scenes of the movie, such as the exterior Woltz's house, were also filmed in Hollywood. Film's blood was made using Karo syrup, red and green food color and red and white food coloring. The main character in the film was a Harlem-based studio who adopted a stray cat. Some of the dialogue needed to be rerecorded due to the cat's loud purring.
White Christmas
The classic Christmas movie is fun, but you may also want to know some White Christmas movie facts. William Wyler created the film in 1930s. It stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Judy Haynes, and Dean Jagger. It is a timeless classic and loved by many.
Although the film was initially written with Fred Astaire's in mind, he quit before it was finished. The studio turned to Don O'Connor for his most famous work, the ragdoll scenes in Singing in the Rain. O'Connor was not able to perform the role due to illness, so Danny Kaye took his place.
Back to the Future
Michael J. directed Back to the Future (a 1985 comedy). Fox. It was made from stolen plutonium. The movie was released on July 3, 1985. Initially, the movie's name was considered inappropriate. Universal Pictures executives suggested that the title be changed to "Spaceman From Pluto". Then Spielberg farcically thanked him and the title stuck.
The 1955 setting of the original film is what it was. Marty McFly travels to the future with Doc Brown to discover a way for time to stop. They meet a man hanging from a giant clock's minute hand.

Five interesting facts about your liver.
The liver is responsible in breaking down toxins, storing vitamins and mineral, and for regulating blood pressure. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.
What number of times have you heard someone say that they feel sluggish or heavy? These symptoms may indicate problems with the liver.
Itching, dark urine and yellowing skin are all common symptoms. These are not all the warning signs. If you feel any of these warning signs, consult your doctor immediately.

What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
Which is the most secretive city in the world?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It is called Novgorod (Russia).
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They just moved to another city.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's in Switzerland, actually!
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
Observe why they are important.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
In addition to acting, Heath also wrote and directed films, including A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball, and Iron Man 3.
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Heath was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath’s story can be an example to other people who believe they can still have it all.
