Details for the official Bill and Ted Face the Music soundtrack have been announced, and to mark the occasion a music video for the first single has been unveiled – one guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Weezer wrote and performed “Beginning of the End (Wyld Stallyns Edit)”, which is the first single from the soundtrack. The music video features the band performing as footage from the sequel plays, but it concludes with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter appearing in character with a special request for the band. It’s a positively delightful treat for a Friday watch, and …
Mad Max: Fury Road is easily one of the best films of the 21st century and one of the greatest action movies ever made. And yet its production was consistently tumultuous and difficult, both from what was required of George Miller's specific vision and elements that were out of the filmmakers' control. For example, because the film's production had run on for so long and they were over budget, the movie was forced to wrap principal photography despite not having a beginning or an ending.

How many will be left standing by the series finale? Well, probably very few. But for now, we can gaze upon the wonderful costuming, and an image of an aunt and her nephew being close, and wonder what is to come.
