A "WORST SONGS EVER " LIST from Pittsburgh radio listeners.  Which is not to say that some moments do not demand them.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 easily dominated the chart with 145MM, right within the ballpark of projections. It also has almost twice as much in foreign receipts to date.It should double it's domestic take, but the original had huge legs in part because it was an August release; there will be much stiffer competition up against this sequel.  The Fate of the Furious places with 8.2MM on a 57 percent drop, but breaks 200MM domestic as it piles up well past a billion worldwide.  The Boss Baby shows with another 6.2M; with 435MM worldwide, DreamWorks animation has to be happy with its first hit in a while. How To Be a Latin Lover takes the fourth slot with 5.3MM on a 57 percent drop; its 20MM domestic gross is probably fine against a reported 10MM budget.  Beauty and the Beast rounds out the Top Five with another 5MM added to its ginormous total.  Below the fold, note that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion was in the Top Ten for a second week, perhaps the first Indian movie to do so, while Gifted looks like a profitable arthouse release.

DUNKIRK drops a likely final trailer online.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2 is this weekend's sole wide release, currently scoring 86 percent on the ol' Tomatometer.  I read a number of reviews claiming that GotG2 isa lot of fun, but seems to have to work harder to get there.  I tend to disagree.  It is a lot of fun, but it is in some ways an unfair comparison.  A sequel like this one can never have the same novelty factor.  This is particularly true here, as I have to think most people were skeptical that a movie with a talking raccoon and a walking tree could be as good as the original was. Arriving a day after the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, it's a reminder that you can only be original once.  I don't know that GotG2 will ever be considered as good as The Empire Strikes Back, but I do remember that some were vaguely disappointed back in the day (mostly by its Act 2, unresolved ending), and GotG2 could similarly rise in the estimation of someof those with a wary view now.  GotG2 delivers most of the fun of the original, but is really only derivatively sequelly in its opening sequence, and takes you deeper with most of the characters in what is also a meditation on families -- how they are alike and also uniquely dysfunctional in their own ways.  The cast, both the originals -- esp. Karen gillan, Bradley Cooper and Michael Rooker -- and newcomers like Kurt Russell really deliver on these themes.  You may already know the signature retro soundtrack here is well-curated, but it's also clear that director James Gunn got exactly the songs he wanted and constructed entire scenses around some of them. Stay to the end for all five post-credits bonus scenes, most of which set up all kinds of interesting possibilities (if you're not a hardcore comics nerd, ask one who "Adam" is).

GOTG2 director James Gunn talks mom rock and why Led Zeppelin missed the cut for his awesome sequel mix.
