Watch Beauty and the Beast’s final trailer, full of familiar songs and sights

The final trailer for Beauty and the Beast, the live-action remake of the Disney animated film, is here. It features a condensed retelling of the story’s first half, and includes a number of iconic moments that will be familiar to anyone who has seen the 1991 animated original. In this live-action version, Emma Watson takes on the iconic role as Belle, while Kevin Kline, Dan Stevens, and Luke Evans step in as Belle’s father Maurice, Beast, and Gaston, respectively.

The trailer aired last night and, more importantly, helped define the structure of an entire episode of The Bachelor. The titular character, I mean, reality TV star Nick Viall, had to keep his all-important rose in a glass jar a la Beauty and the Beast.

Nothing is sacred.

Beauty and the Beast hits theaters March 17th.

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs.
