I can't believe a David Spade movie brought in 20 million dollar draw.

The powers of Joe Dirt, Deuce Bigalow, and Napoleon Dynamite cannot be denied.

 

No matter how hard you try.

What a shitty 2006, so far.

[Guest Smues]

Huzzah Ice Age 2 doing well, but The Benchwarmers making over $20 million really makes me sad and confused.

A note on Slither:

 

Apr 7–9 - $1,528,000 TOTAL = $6,478,000 -60.6%

 

It's showing at 1,946 theaters, with an average of $785.

What a shitty 2006, so far.

 

Not at all. So far there's been 3-4 movies I've really enjoyed, and only two movies I saw were actively bad.

[Ted the Poster 0]

I don't think they were going by the Official "Bob Barron MovieMeter". That thing never works correctly.

[bob_barron 0]

I've really enjoyed Inside Man, Heart of Gold and Running Scared. V for Vendetta was also quite good.

[Ted the Poster 0]

But you also like Pink Panther. Your meter's been haywire for a few years now.

[bob_barron 0]

I didn't like the Pink Panther.

 

I said there were some parts that were funny and it wasn't as bad as people said, but it wasn't good.

 

I have Panther 8th out of 12th on my list of movies from 06.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

On that list, I want to see Lucky Number Slevin and Thank You For Smoking, but that's about it.

Same here. Hasn't been too much I wanted to see so far this year. I want to catch those two. Those are the only two of the five I was slightly interested in to be released so far. I've seen the other three. I did catch Benchwarmers this week and it wasn't as horrible as I expected. I originally thought it sounded interesting, then the previews looked weak to me, but the movie ended up being alright. This one is probably the most self-glorification of Rob Schneider that his movies have had yet... but I still enjoyed the movie overall. Not a classic, but not bad if you are just looking for a couple laughs and a time killer.
