Good for the Penguins, they moved up four spots.

[bob_barron 0]

March of the Penguins was a nice movie, I just thought it was pretty boring at times.

 

Aristocrats had a $28,000 PSA which is good. I've seen the movie twice now and it's hilarious

[Vampiro69 0]

Sad day in America when Dukes of Hazzard is number one. I predict that it falls huge next week.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You could even say they marched up four spots.

 

 

 

 

Whew.

More like waddled up four spots

Go Wedding Crashers.

 

"Proper Hat-Girl just eye fucked the shit out of me".

Go Wedding Crashers.

 

"Proper Hat-Girl just eye fucked the shit out of me".

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

I'll second "Go Wedding Crashers" with two of my own:

 

Jeremy: "This girl's fit for a straight-jacket. I mean she's three ways fucked to the weekend. But you know what, Father? I dig it!"

 

Chaz: "Mom! The meat loaf! Fuck"

[Guest El Satanico]

I'm glad the Dukes are number one, just because I know it's pissing off Cooter...sorry I mean Senator Cooter.

 

I'm also happy for Burt, Willie, SWS, Knoxville and the General Lee, but that Simpson girl can piss the fuck off.

[Guest JMA]

I'm really glad that I went to see Wedding Crashers. It's one of the best buddy movies that I've seen in quite a while.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's a Romantic Comedy.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, but it's a romantic comedy too boot. Just another reason why it's making so much money.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think it's making so much money because Wilson and Vaughn have such great chemistry. Still, the romantic comedy aspect does bring in all the couples. Almost everyone in the theatre who saw the movie had their significant other with them.

 

The movie could easily appeal to both men and women, too.

[Youth N Asia 0]

And you don't see that many R rated romantic comedies

[Red Baron 0]

C'mon everyone knows that Christopher Walken=Gold.

Thank you, you made my point for me.

I kinda disappointed that "Hustle & Flow" didn't crack the top 10, I know its shown on lesser screens but still.

I wish it was playing in Philly.

Hm. Maybe, but Wilson and Vaughn will be the reason people keep coming back for more. They're really that good together.

[Guest Frank_Nabbit]

So what's coming out in the next few months that has some hype?

 

The Great Riad

Red Eye (Flight Plan?)

 

 

What's the big fall movies prior to the XMAS family junk?

[Hank Kingsley 0]

I'm looking forward to The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

Vince Vaughn has gotta be one of the best comeddic actors in the past serval years at least. His ability to keep firing off one liners practically nonstop with very little setup and not make it seem forced is amazing.

 

"I'm going to go upstairs and spit blood and ice my balls, how's THAT for being a team player huh?"

 

"She's not answering your calls, not replying to your letters. God only knows what happened to the kitten you got for her. 'Cause you know she's not raising it and I know you're not raising the goddamn thing."

 

So many good quotes. I'm going to go back and watch it again on my days off just so I can catch all the lines I missed the first time from laughing.

 

Edited for some bad spelling.

I liked how Owen Wilson's character would randomly blurt out urban legends (people using only 10% of their brains, the toilets draining counter-clockwise in Austrailia). I doubt many people noticed that, though. It was VERY subtle.

[Youth N Asia 0]

I'll looking forward to Serenity. Otherwise not much else appeals to me.

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

The next couple of weeks I'm interested in The Brothers Grimm, but that's about it.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Transporter 2 *smacks head* DUH!

[CBright7831 0]

The next couple of weeks I'm interested in The Brothers Grimm, but that's about it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, me too.

 

I want to see The Brothers Grimm and The Corpse Bride.

 

Four more films, and then I'm probably done for the year.

 

The Brother Grimm

The Corpse Bride

V for Vendetta

King Kong

[Guest JMA]

Any predictions for this weekend?
