According to the director and Chris Evans his very blonde and nuzzlable self in interviews: this is the "origin movie" for the tie-in toy. Hence why Evans voicing the movie, Warburton voicing the cartoon and Allen voicing the toy (in the movies) is still canon. Which came first isn't explained, and isn't necessary. Given we've had two GI Joe movies, a Barbie movie with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is on the way, we've had MLP, She-Ra and Masters Of The Universe remakes, and there's even been a Battleships movie... it makes still sense if Evans' movie is the "reboot" for a beloved 1980/90s toy, maybe more these days. And there's quite clearly some detailed love for the original showing through even in the trailer: note that Buzz's ship appears to be powered by "crystallic fusion". Pixar being Pixar, expect in-jokes and Easter Eggs a-go-go. Still waiting on the cinema event of the decade though...

It's still funny that the Osmonds, of all people, came up with one of the most legitimately metal riffs of all time and taped it using a full-studio wall of Marshalls, but there ya go. It's always the quiet ones. With the teeth. Speaking of which - a song which every speed metal band owes props to... Black Sabbath - Symptom Of The Universe

Noted: the "anti-woke" crowd have been review-bombing Eternals because oh no teh gays are forcing stuff down our throats. (Honey, I think you'd have noticed if...ahem.) The critics' reviews have been a bit more mixed. Comparing it to Inhumans might have been a tad harsh - comparing anything to that show's a bit harsh on it. But it is trying to: (a) be more lyrically beautiful than other Marvel movies: would expect no less from Chloe Zhao. (b) handle quite a large cast with new backstories (c) introduce some new and quite cosmic concepts into Marvel (d) still do all that while lacking a decent villain. AGAIN. I'll catch it on D+.

Bruce Springsteen - Ghosts

One of the things I love about Pixar is they don't need words to tell a story. (Another: they love good tunes.) Put me down for Premier seats and popcorn. Though first, I really, really, REALLY wanna see Turning Red. Because - no spoilers - what happens in this sequence is terribly, horribly familiar. Well, most of it. ...it also has the perfect needle drop to match the action...

Metric - Black Sheep (ft Brie Larson)

2WEI - Smoke On The Water

BTW, for those who've been living on an isolated rock hiding from sandworms and are wondering what Dune is about...

Little bit of news for all y'all.. Oh, and the opening US weekend racked up a healthy $41m domestic. Way behind Shang-Chi, Venom II, F9, or Black Widow, but in the same ballpark as Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise. Also another $7.5m from its UK opening weekend. On those numbers would expect a full run - assuming it's got the legs - to go $130m to $160m domestic, and $400m and change worldwide. Using my maths from earlier: $165m budget x 3 = $495m notional breakeven. So: absolutely not a flop, not quite up to the watermark. But given the streaming revenues and the rerelease potential alongside Part 2... ...and that it's doing these numbers in a pandemic... "Boffo", as they say. No idea why they say that but they do.
