Alternative Poster of the Day:

I swear this poster for Mad Max: Fury Road was actually on my wall in the mid-’80s. Nick Stewart Hoyle is the artist behind this fold-marked beauty (via The Film Stage).

Pixar’s Inside Out enjoyed the biggest opening weekend for an original, non-sequel film, and so naturally fans are already eagar to hear about a sequel. Will there be one? Considering Pixar has made sequels for the Toy Story, Cars and Monsters, Inc. franchises — with sequels to Finding Nemo and The Incredibles in the works too — it makes sense that Inside Out may schedule a part two on the docket following its sensational debut.

So what’s the latest on Inside Out 2?

Speaking to EW, director Pete Docter readily admits that he’s not very interested in continuing the story and would rather focus on more original material. “There’s no sequel idea from me at this point,” he tells them, later teasing… “Never say never.”

And that couldn’t be more true for a movie like The Incredibles, which first debuted in 2004 and is set to get a sequel in 2016, 12 years later. That might actually work in Inside Out’s favor, especially if they make a sequel in 10 years and just pick up with Riley in her early twenties.

As far as when Pixar will release an original movie versus a sequel to an existing franchise, Pixar president Jim Morris laid it out as such: “We try to have a balance, ideally an original film every year and a sequel every other year.”

Does Inside Out deserve a sequel? What do you think?

p.s. Yes, there is a Bing Bong doll that smells like cotton candy. You’re welcome.

Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture:

Mad Max Anime of the Day:

At one point Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller was planning to tell Furiousa’s origin story through anime. That didn’t happen, but images of what it would’ve looked like have now arrived online. [via CBM]

Hoverboard of the Day:

Here’s yet another real-life hoverboard, just in time for 2015. But this one is by Lexus and looks a bit more like the ones in Back to the Future Part II. Watch an ad for the new hoverboards, which aren’t quite available yet, below.

Look, we get it. For many of you out there, Magic Mike XXL isn’t just another summer movie — it’s an experience. it’s a big-screen fantasy served up shirtless and six-packed, ready to grind its way into your permanent memory.

And that’s totally cool — last thing we want to do is tarnish that experience in any way by showing you a video of what it’d look like if Magic Mike XXL was written by little kids instead of, ya know, deliciously brilliant adults.

But we’re gonna show you the video anyway — not just because it’s very funny, but also because all of it is performed by Magic Mike himself, Channing Tatum.

The bit was staged by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show — another edition of a segment that asks little kids to write scenes for a movie based only on its title, knowing nothing of the real thing.

Here’s another one Fallon did with Michael Keaton for Birdman.

Fear not, Magic Mikers — Magic Mike XXL is still coming to a theater near you on July 1. And to wash the little-kidness of that previous video out of your mind — and appropriately whet your, um, appetite for more — here’s that magic trailer.
