'Beauty And The Beast's' Dan Stevens Spot On With Donald Trump Comparison!
So, is Donald Trump the real Belle-end of Beauty and the Beast?
They say that life imitates art, and in turn #Disney imitates life. Angry villagers, long unmanageable hair, and a house full of women that are objects — anyone would be forgiven for thinking that the upcoming live-action reimagining of #BeautyAndTheBeast is actually a meta take on the tale of Donald and Melania's road to the White House. We can just imagine the pair twirling around the Oval Office to their Disney soundtrack cassette, or singing "Be Our Guest" at one of the many White House parties. So, is Donald Trump the real Belle-end of Beauty and the Beast?
Tale As Old As Time

It seems that the story of a grouchy overlord with abandonment issues hasn't gone unnoticed by the cast of the 2017's Beauty and the Beast. In a recent Facebook Live Q&A, leading stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens were asked whether we would learn more about Beast's backstory when the film is released. With typical British wit, Stevens replied:
"That's an interesting question, isn't it? I suppose we see a little bit of his backstory. We learn a little bit more about this vain, spoiled, rich kid, son of a billionaire who treats women like objects and lives in a ridiculous luxury tower."
Hmmmm, where have we heard that before? Could it be a certain POTUS who will soon be swapping tall towers for blanche houses? Watson herself has been pretty outspoken on her thoughts on Trump, and the 26-year-old couldn't help but stifle a laugh at her leading man's comment. However, I do think the cast missed a trick by not spotting that Bernie Sanders looks a lot like he could be Belle's father, Maurice.
That could be where the comparisons end though, as we all know how the story ends: Beast is adored and everyone lives happily ever after. So, better get cracking, Donald, you have four years to get that fairytale ending. Let's just hope that Beast doesn't p*ssy grab Watson — that could lead to some nasty injuries!

Sweet Spacey's Sequel: 'Solace' Is The Follow Up To 'Se7en' That No One Wanted
Hannibal Lecter plays a psychic doctor, stopping at nothing to prevent a religious Colin Farrell from outmaneuvering the FBI in the world's weirdest game of chess. Wait, what? No, this isn't a Family Guy pitch for ludicrous films, this is Solace, the unofficial sequel to 1995's Se7en. So, why over two decades later are we resurrecting a film from the Brad Pitts of development hell? Check out the trailer for 2016's Solace below:

Buddhist Extremism and Military Junta.
Myanmar formerly Burma was once part of the British Empire. It was the scene of fighting during WW II between Allied forces and Japanese forces. Japan captured the British territory of Burma. The Japanese Imperial Forces held onto Burma for a number of years while British forces fell back to India. British, Indian, American, and others had to learn to fight and be stealthy like their Japanese foes. Meanwhile, Japanese forces invaded India near the town of Imphal. However, after much fighting the Japanese were pushed back. An Allied counter-offensive was launched equal to the ferocious Imperial Japanese forces. Eventually, Allied forces took back Rangoon (Burmese/Myanmarian capital) while the Japanese fled. A bit of history for you, feel free to correct me!

Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?
