Update. Now, there’s been some talking around on these boards before as to whether box office may or may not be the best indicator of how good a movie is. But. If current numbers are anything to go by, Ares will open with around $38m over the four-day holiday weekend. Which is about $5m behind Tron:Legacy from 2010, and $1m behind… Morbius. …ouch? Without a serious pickup over the next few weeks, this will leave Legacy as the only one of the three to hit that magic 3x breakeven point on release. (The 1982 one ran it very close, but the Mouse made much more than the movie on merch.) By contrast, the album is mostly favourably reviewed and hitting the top end of charts all over the shop. I don’t think it’ll become as iconic as the Daft Punk one, but it’s not quite as warm/cuddly/chillout spa zone friendly as that…

The old place has had some upgrades - and thanks to @Dacy for the help with spinning some new angles... (Hint: on Mac, place a piece, then select it and drag while holding Command and Shift). ...resulting in a new, massively expanded flight deck. (And hangar / motorpool / basketball court underneath - still working on what's needed to better represent the aircraft elevator.)

…and she does have a comic book.

The Hu - Teach Me

Matthew Sweet - Dark Secret

Story. I was not very well for a bit last year and had to go into hospital and get some bloods done. “Ah, here’s your resulll…whaaa?” ”…what?” ”I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. Just gonna check with my super.” ”WHAT.” ”Well, we don’t find many patients with blood oxygen that low.” ”Where do you usually find them?” ”Mostly the big fridge in the basement.” [beat] ”So I’m undead?” “I guess.” ”Huh. Well, nothing’s falling off, teeth are… fine… OH GOD I’M NOT SPARKLING AM I?”

The Headhunters - Land of 1000 Dances (Live)

Human Instinct - A Day In My Mind’s Mind

The Who - The Real Me

First teaser is up, and… …well, it’s fun, but not a whole amount to guess the plot from. We know Rotta’s in it from the cast list, and seems a bit fitter than his dad was. Someone’s got hold of a secondhand Razor Crest too… that may or may not be Mando’s as the N1 is still in it. Western bar fights. Arena fight of some kind. Imps fall down, go BOOM. Oh, and Sigourney doesn’t share.

Mind you, next year we need a CoT Caster dance party for the 21st…

That would be for male toons. Personally, I’d need Booty Queen.

Not exactly. The badge isn't awarded for kills - it's given for leading, teleporting, taunting or otherwise cajoling said ghosts into traps in Port Oakes. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Spirit_Trapping ...and it takes some patience to get hold of, since that's a much trickier job than just taking a Slaying Axe to where the neck should be... and you still need 100 off them. 😕

It was a great surprise, and a nice little puzzle working out how the event worked. Was tempted to post spoilers...

Aerosmith x Yungblud - My Only Angel

AFAIK, Bob was in one (1) cape movie. And it was a doozy: Winter Soldier. So he counts. Okay, he’s barely in it. And the conversation probably went something like: “We need someone GOOD for this. Gravitas. Charming but with depths.” ”A Robert Redford type.” ”Yeah. I mean if we could get Bob…” ”Have we got Bob money?” ”You get me Bob, Feige will get you Bob money. Because it’s Bob.” Seriously. The guy was everyone’s dream to work with, and not because he was one of the great screen gods. The guy worked to make even small parts memorable: and when he took the lead, those are movie names to conjure with. The Sting. Out Of Africa. River Runs Through It. Sneakers (STILL the only really good h@X0r movie), All The President’s Men, and of course Butch & Sundance. But that role arguably had a much bigger impact than that movie - as his festival for new and upcoming filmmakers has brought up so many talents. (And the only reason I’d have hauled my raggedy ass to the middle of Utah on days it felt like if Hell froze over, Satan would have still sent any producers who died in Park City downstairs to warm up). Newman had to fight for him for Butch & Sundance (as one producer said: “ah, he’s just another California blond. Throw a stick out the window, you hit six of ‘em.”) But even from the early days, and the smallest parts. This is no ordinary job-to-job actor. Do you recognise when someone just has that magic? I hope he was welcomed in the same way. May he rest in light.

The album is scheduled to drop 19th September, and you'd better believe I'll be getting it on the day. The movie... still not so sure.
