2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 That god damn Larry the Cable Guy movie made 7 million?? What the fuck is WRONG with people?!?! Stay Alive making 11 million doesn't shock me at all, it did have some decent actors but the plot looked lousy. Like something Uwe Boll should have directed.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Ron White is awesome, Bill Engvall is good if you have a family although his laughing after every joke can get annoying, Jeff is still funny on a constant basis but he's became just like Bill and has really cut his redneck jokes down big time, and yet LARRY gets the movie.

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 As far as Larry the Cable Guy goes, the only good thing to come out of his fame in general is David Cross absolutely tearing him to shreds on his website. Kind of disappointed at how V's doing. I wonder how much it cost to make... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 'Inside Man' races ahead of competition Washington, Owen lead thriller to $29 million weekend LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Denzel Washington's reunion with Spike Lee put them on the inside track at the box office. Their bank-hostage thriller "Inside Man," an unusually commercial project for director Lee, debuted as the No. 1 weekend film with $29 million -- the best opening ever for both the filmmaker and his star, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal's "Inside Man" knocked off the previous weekend's top movie, the Warner Bros. action tale "V for Vendetta," which slipped to second with $12.3 million. "V for Vendetta" raised its 10-day total to $46.2 million. Warner Bros. and CNN are owned by Time Warner Inc. Disney's fright flick "Stay Alive," featuring Frankie Muniz in a tale about a video game that brings death to its players, premiered in third place with $11.2 million. The weekend's other new wide release, Lionsgate's "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector," a gross-out romp starring comic Dan Whitney investigating a food-poisoning outbreak, opened at No. 7 with $7.05 million. Stung by declining revenues over the last year, Hollywood broke out of its latest slump, with the top-12 movies grossing $98.9 million, up 10.6 percent from the same weekend a year ago. The upswing followed a month of declines. The solid weekend was a prelude to this Friday's debut of the animated sequel "Ice Age: The Meltdown," considered an early lead-in to a summer season that launches with Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 3" on May 5. "This was a good kickoff to what I think will be a pretty good run leading up to summer," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "Inside Man," starring Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen in a story of cops against robbers during a Manhattan bank heist, exceeded box-office expectations for distributor Universal, which had figured on a $20 million weekend at best. Lee and Washington's earlier collaborations include "Malcolm X" and "He Got Game." At $29 million, "Inside Man" topped Washington's previous best opening weekend of $22.8 million for "Man on Fire" and Lee's previous best of $11.1 million for "The Original Kings of Comedy." Two-thirds of viewers for "Inside Man" were older than 30, a promising sign for Hollywood, whose key audience of young males has been less inclined to go to the movies with so many other entertainment distractions such as video games and DVDs. "They were motivated to go. They love the material, they love the actor," said Nikki Rocco, Universal's head of distribution. "It's the motivation to get them to go to the movies, and I hope that we as an industry keep that up. If we want the business to survive, we have to continue to find ways to motivate them." "Inside Man" also took in $9.6 million over its opening weekend in 18 other countries. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/...e.ap/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 I've been sick of Larry the Cable Guy since I first heard of him six years ago, but somehow I was arm-twisted into to watching the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" DVD by my sister-in-law. I have to admit that all this Ron White praise is well deserved, as he really is the most talented one of the four. As far as Larry the Cable Guy goes, the only good thing to come out of his fame in general is David Cross absolutely tearing him to shreds on his website.

No, he does have some different material but he hasn't had many specials. His Sears tire story and "Got thrown out of a bar in NYC" will never stop though.

She doesn't exactly have a boyish body. My girl reacted the same way I did, "wow, is it bad that it was way too easy for Amanda to look like a boy?" She doesn't have a boyish body but damn does she have a boyish face when she has short hair. She went from attractive to, "well now it would be like wanting to have sex with a 15 yr old boy". Body is easy to cover up. It's just really sad her face looked so much like a boy just hitting puberty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franchise632 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Ron White is doing a show at the casino I work at in May. Im thinking I will go check it out if I am not working. Its going to be a big couple months of comedy. Lewis Black was in on Thursday. The one and only George Carlin will be making his yearly stop in April, and then Ron White in May. So quality stuff. Its just pretty expensive because of the small venue size. Cheapest ticket is $31. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
