Are We Done Yet? Beats Grindhouse at Box Office

2007-04-09T08:21:00.000-05:00

V.

Are We Done Yet? opened with a box office of $15 million.

Grindhouse opened with a box office of $11 million.

Both movies played in the same amount of theatres.

Review of AWDY: "In most films, a bathroom-related joke would represent the lowest form of humor. In this one, it's a highlight."

Review of Grindhouse: "'Grindhouse' is a fascinating exercise in genre reinvention, a showcase for two radically different approaches to homage."

Is something wrong with this?

Suprise of the Day: Patata Granata

2007-03-01T09:28:00.000-05:00

According to the BBC, a 74-year-old Italian woman was shocked to find a live grenade in a sack of potatoes she had bought at a market. Can you think of anyone who would not be shocked to find a grenade in a bag of wonderful, harmless spuds? I believe it was Voltaire that said, "a pin pulled from a starch only becomes a harm to society if society accepts the phytophthora infestans as a friend, not a foe." Well said V. Well said.

Guilty Pleasure of the Minute: Cheerleaders Getting...

2007-02-27T20:05:00.000-05:00

No real intro needed. This is a highlight reel of the high school cheerleaders that didn't get pregnant. Good thing because their children would have tried to drink lighter fluid out of a cloud. Go team!

NFL Player of the Week: Adam "Pacman" Jones

2007-02-27T18:06:00.000-05:00

Pacman Jones "made it rain" at a Las Vegas strip club last week, making him the NFL Player of the Week...according to Jazmine and X-Ray Freddie. Basically he took 81,000 $1 bills in a plastic trash bag and threw it over the female employees at the Minxx Gentleman's Club. Suprisingly, a riot ensued. Luckily, "Pinky," a server at the Minxx, turned into a ghost and ate all of the money. It has not yet been determined why a strip club employee would be named "Pinky." More details as they arise.

Garlic May Not Lower Cholesterol

2007-02-27T11:13:00.000-05:00

VAMPIRES REJOICE AND BITE THEIR THUMB AT GARLIC.

The jury is still out about whether garlic prevents heart disease, states an editorial published with the study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Regardless, this is total crap. Garlic is good for your heart. Ask anybody. Cholesterol is due to respond to these unfounded allegations by noon yesterday. In the meantime, please proceed with your daily routine as if you never heard this news.
