“Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” will be released on DVD at the start of next month! Promised special features include footage from at least seven deleted scenes and looks at how BB-8 was created and how John Williams scored the movie. (The National)

Speaking of movies, Disney’s and Pixar’s newest feature, “Zootopia,” is apparently more than just a poorly disguised G-rated version of furry porn – it’s doing quite well at the box office. This movie follows the success of other Disney-Pixar films such as “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Big Hero 6,” and, yes, even “Frozen.” (Variety)

The Washington Post is interested in investigating the truth behind Vladimir Putin’s 83% approval ratings. The Harriman Institute is kind-of ahead of them on this, but speculation on the reason behind those high ratings is different from each new person who theorizes about them. (Washington Post)

Get your old Christmas gift cards ready, because Amazon is opening up a second physical bookstore – this one in San Diego. (The first is in Seattle.)

This spa has been called “a full-on, urban high-school orgy” by patrons, and the management doesn’t seem to be doing much about it. (Can we blame them?) (NY Post)
