It’s not just domestic spies who reflect the increasingly fraught relations between the U.S. and Russia. The Kremlin (or somebody) appears to have put a hit out on Toy Story 3 , which has grossed a disastrous $4.8 million among Russian moviegoers in its first 10 days of release. By comparison, Shrek Forever After grossed $37.7 million over the same period. Of course this can mean only one thing: Armond White is huge in Russia . [ LAT ]

The worst thing about sequels is the air of desperation about them, which often starts gathering long before they’re actually released. Particularly in this economic climate, everyone in Hollywood wants a hit, so the marketing machines for big summer sequels kick in early and hard.

For a nation still struggling to piece together whether Sideways Jack is maybe married to Sideways Juliet, and what happened to Sideways Sayid’s accent, and what did Sideways Ilana do to get her hair so shiny and lustrous, the new Pixar viral campaign for Toy Story 3 may be too much to handle.
