Five Movies John Wayne Dies In

Movies John Wayne Dies InJohn Wayne was a true American action hero, although he did die in several of his movies. It wasn't very often (about ten percent of them), but still enough to compose a list. While you can imagine that the Duke was typically shot down in some shootout, this wasn't always the case. In fact, after reading this list, you might believe that he was the blueprint to Sean Bean's storied and unique death scenes! After reading this list, you may ask yourself why John Wayne ever signed onto a contract that dealt with water...the man drowns a lot...

Tough Women On Game Of Thrones

Arya StarkDespite what you might have recently read about the female attitude towards Game of Thrones, women love this show! Why? Primarily, because there are some very tough women on Game of Thrones. The show, which fixates on a medieval setting has it's share of strong-willed women who you wouldn't want to cross. These brave fighters and manipulators are just as strong - if not stronger - than the men that wield the swords and rule the kingdoms. While there are too many to list, here are my favorites of the tough women on Game of Thrones. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Musicians Who Dodged The DraftAlthough Draft Dodging in the United States has been around since the Civil War, it is during Vietnam that most of us associate with people dodging the draft. Of these people, there were many famous musicians who dodged the draft.
