The Most Anticipated Entertainment Of 2017

The ball has dropped. The resolutions have been made (and hopefully not broken yet.) So...now what? Well get excited, because 2017 is pulling out all of the stops when it comes to entertainment. Here are just a few of the titles you won't want to miss this year.

Movies

"Baywatch"

"Out with the new and in with the reboots" is the motto for 2017. First on the list is "Baywatch", starring shirtless Zac Efron and shirtless Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running around the beach saving lives. Count me in. The trailer alone has given me the inspiration to (think about) getting in shape.

"Beauty and the Beast"

The highly anticipated live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" is finally coming this year. Starring the always magical Hermione Granger Emma Watson, it's the ultimate Disney fantasy come to life. I'll be singing and crying along in the theater.

"Fifty Shades Darker"

Not to put any unneeded pressure on Valentine's Day, but...who are you going to see the new "Fifty Shades" movie with??? After a Grey-free 2016, the infamous franchise will finally be back on the big screen this February. And if it's anything like the first movie, we'll also be blessed with a killer soundtrack. To tide you over, Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik have released the movie's first song, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever."

" Star Wars: Episode VIII"

Seriously, what did we even do in years without "Star Wars" releases? Episode eight is due in late 2017, and although there isn't much information out yet, we already can't wait. After the heartbreaking passing of the great Carrie Fisher in December, this movie will be even more special. Fisher had already wrapped filming before her death, so expect General Leia to make one last, magnificent appearance.

Music

Niall Horan

Directioners, rejoice! The Irish cutie and former member of One Direction (may it rest in peace) is launching his solo career this year. Date and title are TBD, but judging by the first single, "This Town", he's going to have us crushing all year long.

Lorde

Nearly four years after her triumphant breakout album, Lorde promises that she's back in 2017. The singer has been keeping her fans in the loop via Twitter. But don't expect the sixteen-year-old New Zealander we fell in love with last time around, because according to her, a lot has changed.

Ed Sheeran

After a year-long social media hiatus, Ed surprised us all this past December when he tweeted a mysterious blue image. Fans immediately suggested that he has an album in the works. I'd bet money on a 2017 release.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
