    How old are you, Jon??

    Not that I'm bashing you, but it's a legitimate question when you love anything that targets teenage girls.

    The title sucks, too. If they want a modern telling of Beauty of the Beast, they should have hired someone like Del Toro...not necessarily him, but someone like him

    Oh, I forgot to mention...this movie will be an atrocity to Beauty and the Beast. I don't care if they're going in a "new, hip, direction." F*ck them all
