At some point we’ve all taken those silly online quizzes that tell you what Hogwarts house you belong to, what color lightsaber would you have, or what power rangers character you are. These are fun and pointless things to pass the time. Well, BuzzFeed has a new quiz, “Which ‘Star Wars’ Character From The New Trilogy Are You?” and they asked the cast of Star Wars: The Last Jedi to take it (I got Rey btw). It’s really fun to watch the different actors explain their reasoning such as Daisy Ridley explaining why she would choose a Star Destroyer to cruise the galaxy. Before you watch the video, I recommend you take the quiz yourself and let us know who you got. Also, take a guess as to who each actor will get in the end, the results may be more interesting than you think.

As one of the most anticipated movies of 2017, everyone has been buzzing about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, including the fashion industry. Not only did the stars include winks to the film (from little details, like Daisy Ridley’s star brooches at the film’s London photocall, to cosmically huge nods) in their red carpet style, but tons of designers were inspired by the film to recreate special capsule collections dedicated to a galaxy far, far away. Before you get in line for the film tonight, get caught up on the most major red carpet moments and the capsule...

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Sunday’s fall finale of The Walking Dead.
If we hadn’t already known it was bad news for The Walking Dead’s Team Ahk when Rick discovered last week that the Saviors had dispatched the walkers that had turned the Sanctuary into a prison, we sure as hell knew it when, in Sunday’s fall finale, Negan rolled up to the gates of Alexandria with a big announcement: Everyone was to line up outside their homes, and whoever’s apology for the uprising was the lamest would be biting the dust along with Rick.

We know it's tough to come to terms with, but if you don't believe us just check out this video of the Biebs throwing punches after church. You know he looks fast. Admit it.

It’s been a stellar year of cinema and pop culture-themed books, and the texts (and Blu-rays) in this round-up all make fine gifts.

Variety’s annual Actors on Actors interview series has brought Jennifer Lawrence and Adam Sandler together, and the two find common ground when talking about their dislike of reading their own reviews. Sandler says the negative critical reaction to “Billy Madison” in 1995 “screwed [his] thinking up a little bit,” and he has mostly avoided reading reviews of his movies since. Lawrence, meanwhile, only wants to read them if they’re good.

Chest-beating apes and bloodthirsty sharks provide familiar thrills while a prison documentary offers a shattering picture of male pain
The title of War for the Planet of the Apes (Fox, 12), however apt in a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin sort of way, feels a bit behind the curve. Matt Reeves’s robust reimagining of a hairy old franchise already escalated into full-blown war film territory in 2014’s tremendous Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, as Andy Serkis’s ultra-intelligent chimp chief Caesar marshalled his simian forces with terrifying, well, force. The domination continues here, on an even grander, doomier, more violent scale. Before you can make your own “ape-ocalypse” pun, the screenplay beats you to it.

The holiday season is quickly approaching us which means you may be tempted to leave your 8-year old kid at home while you fly off to celebrate in Paris. Before you do that, please make sure your child is well-versed in the art of making booby traps! Also, know what those traps can do before they are set. Don’t just blindly use a trap and pray that it will work. So which traps should you set? Well, Vsauce and his friends do some experiments to show you what 3 traps from the holiday classic Home Alone would actually do. They test the hot door handle, the paint can to the face, and the crowbar to the chest with devastating effects. I love videos like this that go through the actual science behind something, and this video goes the extra mile and actually tests them.

After two consecutive weeks of ratings declines and the least-watched season premiere in years, The Walking Dead posted a ratings gain this week, suggesting that the series' audience might have stabilized. Before you get too excited, though, understand that the gain consisted of only 170,000 viewers over last week's audience. If anything, it looks like season 8 may be settling into its ratings comfort zone. That's the good news. The bad news is that that comfort zone is the lowest of any season since the second.

Right now, we have an abundance of comic book TV shows to keep us busy. Some of them are really good, such as The Gifted, while others are rapidly plummeting in quality, like The Walking Dead. Nonetheless, if you’re a comic book fan, you’re certainly spoilt for choice in this day and age.
The entertainment industry isn’t always fair, though, and we’ve seen a whole bunch of impressive comic book shows get canceled when we felt like they were only getting started.

And while there are singular animal attractions in the U.S. — the wild ponies of Assateague or swimming with dolphins in Florida, for instance — no wide swath of landscape here can quite compare to the diverse nature and environment experiences of a visit to Western Canada.

Is your wardrobe basic? Before you say no with an attitude, it should be. Fall and winter are all about layers, making T-shirts necessary. The most glamorous superstars like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian rely on basic tops. Why? Because every outfit has a star and supporting characters. White T-shirts and black tank tops are arguably the best supporting characters you can buy (although they may be tied to denim). They go with everything. While the items are basic, purchasing the perfect tee isn't easy. The fabric, fit, sleeve length, neckline and rise matters when you're putting together an fall ensemble. To be safe, it's better to have one of everything. For one, they'll never go out of...

Though Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead was the third in a row to feature almost non-stop smackdowns and shoot-’em-ups, battle fatigue and fatalities were beginning to be less of a concern than crises of conscience. In fact, the speed at which sides were forming (with Daryl, Morgan and Tara on Team Kill ’Em All, and Jesus, suddenly Rick and maybe Maggie on Team Live and Let Live) strongly suggested that, before the Saviors were vanquished, the allied forces would be fighting one another. Which characters wouldn’t still be around to see the conflict resolved? Read on…...

Actress Busy Philipps is speaking out against movie producer and director Brett Ratner.
On Wednesday, Philipps, 38, responded to the news that the longtime Hollywood power player, 48, had been accused of multiple cases of sexual misconduct or harassment — including by actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge — in an article published by the Los Angeles Times.
“Olivia Munn has been saying this for years and he has been disgusting about the allegations and to her for years. He is a garbage human,” Philipps wrote.
Munn claims that while visiting the set of the 2004 Ratner-directed film After the Sunset, he masturbated in front of her.

In the wake of Wednesday’s shocking allegation, a second woman has now accused Dustin Hoffman of sexual harassment.
Speaking to Variety, Wendy Riss Gatsiounis (Reign, Genius), claims that Hoffman propositioned her for sex during a period of time in 1991, when the two were working together with Murray Schisgal on a potential film adaptation of A Darker Purpose. The alleged encounter left Gatsiounis “close to tears,” and this deeply troubling allegation comes only a day after Dustin Hoffman was forced to apologize for inappropriate behavior.
I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.
That statement from Hoffman emerged on November 1st, when The Hollywood Reporter’s revelations placed the actor under the spotlight – alongside Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner, and Harvey Weinstein, who have...

There's a reason why the Lbd is a wardrobe staple: You can wear it anywhere—award ceremonies included. Case in point: the inaugural 2017 Revolve Awards. Celebrities, influencers and fashion obsessives came together Thursday night to honor the biggest trendsetters in the digital landscape. While the red carpet arrivals provided plenty of #outfitinspo, there was one prominent trend that really stole the night: LBDs. Before you assume we're talking about the classic iteration (think: Breakfast at Tiffany's), this is the Revolve we're talking about, which means every body-hugging, black mini had a little something extra about it.

NFL fans can now support their team while they game! Microsoft has added NFL logos for all 32 teams to the Xbox One Controller Design Lab! Here's how it works.

Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexual harassment by television producer and writer Wendy Riss Gatsiounis (“Reign,” “Genius”). The producer told Variety that Hoffman allegedly harassed and propositioned her for sex during a period of time in 1991 when she was working with the actor and “Tootsie” screenwriter Murray Schisgal on a potential film adaptation of her play, “A Darker Purpose.”
According to Riss Gatsiounis, two meetings occurred between the three parties in 1991. The young writer was hoping the film version of “A Darker Purpose” would be her big break and she had scheduled meetings with Hoffman and Schisgal to hopefully get the development process started. Both meetings reportedly took place at the offices of Hoffman’s Punch Productions at Rockefeller Center in New York City. During the first meeting, Schisgal allegedly asked Riss Gatsiounis whether she had a boyfriend or husband, to which Hoffman reportedly said, “Murray, shut up. Don...

The action in the Season 2 finale of Stranger Things was, as you’d hope, explosive. And it was also pretty exciting watching Eleven close the gate that gave “Chapter Nine” its title. Because sure, it was important that the door to the Upside Down be shut (and, ideally, dead-bolted). But what really got my heart — and, I’d wager, yours — pounding were the twists of plot that changed so many of our protagonists’ relationships forever. Or at least until Season 3.

There’s a bargain underlying the whole of Atomic Blonde, wherein director David Leitch wavers between its more cheeky qualities and its adherence to the conventions of generic spy fare. The film is, by definition, “cool” in every sense.
