Is This Something?

Probably not, but let's try anyway.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 was a damp squib at the box office, so the final part of the story, and the Tom Cruise era of the franchise, has been renamed "The Final Reckoning."

Haley Atwell and the girls are back. Maybe Vanessa Kirby is too. There's a blonde woman in the mix.

I didn't hear anything about this -- The Return, about Odysseus' return to Greece after his ten year odyssey. A group of suitors is pressuring his wife to declare him dead and marry one of them, making them king.

He comes back to kill them all. I don't buy Ralph Fiennes as a bad ass warrior but I guess they're showing him as emaciated to suggest he was starving at sea for a while.

Is that something? I dunno. I just watched Troy. I dug Sean Bean as Odysseus.

Against all reason, the ".... Has Fallen" franchise is still going.

I wouldn't link anything by that deranged hack Steven King, but there aren't many trailer (apart from Marvel and Star Wars trash) so...

The promotional campaign for Wicked is going GREAT:

Mattel may be safe from the Wicked Witch of the West, but it has had to issue a mea culpa to avoid the wrath of angry parents.

The toy company said the web address for a pornography company was mistakenly printed on the packaging for dolls tied to the new film "Wicked" instead of the official website for the coming Universal Pictures release.

Social-media users pointed out the mistake, noting that the URL directs to an adult-content website. The film's website is wickedmovie.com. The URL on the box omits the word "movie."

Wicked.com is a porn site, I gather. I wouldn't know.

"We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this," Mattel said, adding that the misprint affected dolls primarily sold in the U.S. "Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children."

The company didn't disclose how many toys were affected or if it was recalling any products. Mattel said customers who purchased the toys should discard the packaging or obscure the web address.

As of Sunday, the dolls were being sold by Amazon, Target and other retailers. On Monday morning, a Target link to the dolls said, "We're sorry, but the item you're looking for is not available at Target." A similar link on Amazon said the product was "currently unavailable."
