Crisis, Collapse, and Cloverfield

A lot of changes and new items since I last tried this:

Crisis: Refugee crisis in Europe continues. Pope Francis calls the U.S.-Mexican border a "humanitarian crisis." The water problem in Flint, Michigan shows up, too.

Apocalypse: More X-Men: Apocalypse, naturally, but particularly because Deadpool did so well last weekend that it's raising comparisons and one-up attempts. There's a show called "You, Me, and the Apocalypse" on NBC - but probably for not much longer. And Amazon included a zombie apocalypse opt-out clause in a terms of service agreement.

Collapse: After an uninteresting first page, there are stories about the collapse of Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and Ukraine's coalition government.

Cloverfield: Everything is about 10 Cloverfield Lane, a sequel (of sorts) to the monster-takes-Manhattan original.
