MONDAY

So, the Golden Globes happened Sunday and besides all the winners (including La La Land setting a new record of 7 trophies), everybody was talking about the moment where Ryan Gosling won his Golden Globe for Best Actor for (what else) La La Land… and in the background Andrew Garfield kissed the Ryan who didn’t won. The biggest reason? Garfield used to be Spidey, and Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool… and Spideypool is a popular Marvel ship and even Marvel Comics is aware of it.

Anyway, check out Total Film’s Beauty and the Beast cover, where it’s the best I’ve seen Emma Watson in that yellow dress. Also, a new poster with the entire cast… and all in their human form.

Director Rian Johnson talked Star Wars Episode VIII, and five things were revealed: The tone will be fun rather than dark… and that would certainly be different for a middle episode!

Except for the episode 3 and 4’s early release, the show will air weekly, and the series will have a global launch around the world.

After some days of speculations due to Ben Affleck’s own words, he finally confirms he is totally directing The Batman… but he sure is tired about talking about that movie when he’s promoting other things! Sorry nobody cared that much about Live by Night, Batfleck, but you know… it’s the goddamn Batman!

Apparently, Star Wars: Episode VIII will pick up right where The Force Awakens left off… so what will the opening crawl be about? Here are Rian Johnson’s exact words:
