Well, it's hardly an extravaganza, but rather a short thank you...
Yes, it's our fifth birthday today, and as we cut into our cake here at Flickering Myth, I just wanted to say a big thank you to our fabulous writing team for their continued hard work and commitment, and of course our lovely readers, who've helped the site grow beyond anything I ever expected that it could be back in 2009 when I fancied writing an article on the box office chances of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Watchmen.
It's been another great twelve months for the site, and we've got some exciting plans in the pipeline which will hopefully mean that Year Six is even better, but before then, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate this milestone by looking back on our five most popular articles on Flickering Myth...
5. Mel Gibson's beefed up new look for his role as bad guy Conrad Stonebanks in the upcoming action sequel The Expendables 3 - see here.
4. Skyfall overtaking The Dark Knight Rises to become the (then) 007th highest-grossing film of all time - see here.
3. Jeremy Renner rumoured to be out as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which of course has since been proven false) - see here.
2. Anghus Houvouras enraging Watchman fans everywhere with 'The Five Most Disappointing Films of All Time', a.k.a. 'The Article That Enraged Watchman Fans Everywhere' - see here.
And in at number one, with a whopping 400,000+ pageviews...
1. Samuel L. Jackson accidentally confirms that Elizabeth Olsen is set to play The Scarlet Witch in The Avengers: Age of Ultron - see here. Wow. Marvel really is popular!
Well, that's it... I'm off to enjoy this cake...
