During the Golden Globes, Disney premiered a short TV spot for Beauty and the Beast. It’s almost all new footage and it’s almost entirely centered on Emma Watson’s Belle.

Mark Hamill has perfectly voiced one of the future president’s tweets as the Joker, and we could see more of them in the future. That might be one of the most beautiful sentences ever uttered—if it wasn’t also tragic. On December 31, Donald Trump tweeted out his New Year’s message to the public, basically sounding … Continued

After a mid-season hiatus so we could all go see a movie, Star Wars Rebels came back Saturday with a two-part episode called “Ghosts of Geonosis.” Not only did it bring Forest Whitaker back to voice Saw Gerrera, it helped fill in a crucial link between Attack of the Clones and Rogue One.

It already looks like the Trump administration will be very bad for the environment. He’s basically picking the worst person possible to run every agency that is charged with protecting the Earth.
