As such, say hello to the full trailer for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark from producer Guillermo del Toro. Cover your eyes and click ahead for a jolt.

We've known about Amy Poehler for a long time. Upright Citizens Brigade? That's 12 years old now. Graduates of Harvard's 2011 class may have actually grown up watching the Baby Mama star, which is what makes her speech to them during Class Day that much greater. Also great? Amy Poehler's terrible movie that she name-drops in the first 30 seconds.

There may still be a solid six months until The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I hits theaters in all of its placenta-chewing glory, but that doesn't mean that life has to be Bella and Edward-less until then. The dedicated Twilight fan base generates plenty of fan fiction each day about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's characters -- some that seems plausible, and some that seems a little deranged. In a recent segment on VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live, series star Michael Sheen read an excerpt from one latter passage aloud.

If you sat through the unnecessarily long and anticlimactic American Idol finale on Wednesday night, the chances are good you saw at least one of these brand new Transformers: Dark of the Moon spots. What do they offer besides the promise of space robot-led Armageddon and that face Shia LaBeouf makes when he's nervous? Well, mostly that, but also some more of that Inception-like musical score. Click ahead for a look, but if you're at work maybe toss in some headphones. These are loud!

Cherries, strawberries, deodorant and more collide in the latest edition of Zach Galifianakis's mock-talk short series Between Two Ferns, this time welcoming special guest Will Ferrell. This one's slightly NSFW, and you have Movieline to thank for that, in a way: If Galifianakis truly hadn't seen the infamous monkey-frog tryst making the viral video rounds before our own Jen Yamato told him about it last week, then here's your graphic evidence that he's definitely seen it now. Steel yourself.

Simba, Nala, and the sexually provocative villainy of Jeremy Irons are coming back in the 3D Blu-Ray version of Disney's The Lion King. Oh, Elton John.

Enjoy the trailer, y'all, and check out the dates for a limited L.A. re-release after the break.

Because our previous experiment in red-carpet transmissions was such a success, we at Movieline thought another premiere livestream might be in order. This time around, let's tune in and see what's happening at the X-Men: First Class world premiere in New York City.

The X-Men: First Class promotional barrage continues! As trusty Movieline commenter Winchester wrote recently, all that's left to show of this one are the closing credits. Which is odd since most of the early reviews have found the film to be a jolt of excellence for both the genre and the series. Why the hard sell when the movie is likely good? Contemplate that as you click ahead to watch January Jones as Emma Frost act all badass in First Class.
