Super Bowl weekend is not typically a good movie week. Last year it was the worst weekend of the first quarter.And this week was 24% lower than that!
The two new films finished 1-2, but with $15m and $9m.
The only good news was delivered to The King's Speech, which passed three films this week to move up to 4th!
Last week's #1, The Rite, fell to 6th by losing to three films which it beat last week! It dropped a precipitous 62%.

He came very close to pitching a perfect game when he was a rookie. He gave up a leadoff hit, then caught that guy stealing and retired the next 26, thus facing the minimum number of opposing batters.His life was less exciting after that. In a long major league career, he was sometimes a spot starter, sometimes a reliever, sometimes a regular starter. He had his moments, but in general was never really good enough or bad enough to get noticed. If he was on your team, he wouldn't embarrass you, but he wouldn't dazzle you either. In the four years when he made 30 or more starts, his records were 12-14, 12-15, 14-13, and 13-13. His inconspicuous records were matched by his appearance. If you faced a police line-up consisting of Woody and four 40ish plumbers, your chances of picking him out would be dictated entirely by the law of averages. If you look up "nondescript" in the dictionary, you'll probably see his picture. Hell, I barely remember him, and was shocked just now to read that he was in the majors for 18 years.

I thought I just hit the jackpot because I had multiples of his 1974 Topps Player cards with a painted on red Whitesox uniform...but then I realized it was Wilbur Wood
"William Shatner is back in the studio working on yet another great big pile of Shat-mazing, Incredibly Strange music. It's been over a week since Shatner first formally proclaimed Zakk Wylde's mad skills via Twitter ("Best, Bill"), but our sources on the scene confirm that some big metal heavy-hitters have been engaged to play backup to Captain Kirk. There are almost 20 songs slated for inclusion so far and all are to have a "space" or "flying in space" theme. Um, ok, that is EXACTLY the same as before, but who would want anything else from Captain Kirk?"

The Roommate was just about on its expected pace with $6m. Sanctum did finish second, but it was a weak second, and that film may not make double figures for the weekend.

"Those extra-wide screens that give you so much real estate to watch football or Anderson Cooper getting punched also have a downside: if you’re a local news anchor and you want to casually flip off a co-worker while also doing the news, you’ve simply got to remember where the shot ends. "

Super Bowl weekend is often a dumping ground for movies considered to be lost causes, and this year will follow the tradition. The Roommate is expected to take firsat place with a tepid $17m. Sanctum is expected to finish a weak second with $11 million. The fact that $11 million can finish second tells you that the hold-overs will all suck canal water, although The King's Speech will continue to hold its own on the way to Oscar night.

1. Sanctum, a "3D action thriller" produced by James Cameron. 31% positive reviews; about 2800 theaters.
2. The Roommate. The description makes it sound like an uncredited remake of Single White Female, which was mediocre to begin with. 10% positive reviews; about 2500 theaters.
3. Waiting for Forever must be total dung, because it got distributed to a total of three theaters. The critics seem to share that appraisal, since it has collected only one positive review. Here are some of the summary comments:
Waiting for Forever isn't just bad; it's fascinatingly bad.
A drippy romance that makes Nicholas Sparks look like Leo Tolstoy.
Waiting for Forever is strangely unaware of its overt creepiness.

Hey, everyone gets pissed when they remove the McRib! These particular guys are not Islamists, but even Moslem terrorists get upset. Oh, I know they can't eat any pork, but that presents no problem. Even the most devout Moslem is allowed to eat processed McMeatsubstitute. The recipe is secret, but let's just say they don't skimp on the napalm!Of course, holding Ronald hostage is not a real effective technique. Good luck on getting those demands met.

I guess it has been too many years and too many tears since The Gift, and she has become a mom in the interim. Oh, she still looks great, but I wasn't expecting to see the stretch marks.

Did some looking into the archives for the photo Egotastic posted and you commented on and it's from 2006, right around the time Tom-tom was "wooing" her with Xenu and friends. So the stretchmarks are more her just having her natural bust then loosing so much weight due to their cleansing BS and her chest going with it.
If you think she looks pretty bad there you should look back to see how she looked after Suri was born, then you'll get really sad at how far she's fallen in the past decade. 'Tis a shame indeed.

Unpasteurized milk is all the rage now in the yuppie set, and if there's one thing the Amish have plenty of, besides unused razors, it's raw milk.

The plot thickens: the vehicle apparently had been reported as stolen - by the guy who was caught driving it.

You probably know he was a good pitcher, but he was probably a lot better than you think. He's always been underappreciated. Since 1997 there have been four separate seasons in which he has finished in the top six in the Cy Young balloting, but in NOT ONE of those seasons did he get selected for the all-star team.His ERA+, adjusted for the era and parks in which he pitched, is as good as Bert Blyleven's.
He's the all-time leader in post-season wins.
In 2009, at age 37, he pulled off one of the most impressive stunts in history. He pitched the game that clinched the division pennant. He pitched the game that won the division series. He pitched the game that won the league championship series. He pitched the game that won the World Series. The baseball superfecta!
He pitched in the majors for 16 years and never had a losing record in any of those seasons. He's the only guy in pro baseball history who pitched that long without a losing season. Two other guys had streaks longer than 16 years, but had losing seasons before or after the streaks. Grover Cleveland Alexander started his career with 19 seasons of .500 or better, but blew it by hanging on one year too many. Greg Maddux put together 17 in a row at one point, but had various losing seasons both at the beginning and at the end of his career.

In the era of steamboats and river commerce, Cairo was one of the most prosperous places in America, and Mark Twain made it famous in literature as well. It's where Jim and Huck actually wanted to go, although they ended up sailing past. It is the very place where the East, the South, and the Midwest come together, right at the confluence of the Ohio and the mighty Mississip'. Although it's in Illinois, the closest neighbors are in Kentucky and Missouri, making it a strategic location for the Northern generals during the Civil War.
In an alternate universe, Cairo's strategic location might have made it as important as Pittsburgh or Chicago, but we do not live in that particular universe, so we just keep driving past Cairo on our way from Chicago to Memphis. The decline of river commerce and a legacy of racial violence led to the town's virtual disappearance.
It is essentially a ghost town, and a flood waiting to happen.

When 40 thugs held up the train he was on, the special forces guy surrendered his wallet peacefully, but when he saw that they intended to rape a young girl, well, that was more than he could take. He basically kicked all of their asses. In a narrow train aisle, they could not surround him, so he just killed or maimed them all one by one. He killed three, disabled eight. The others ran away.

This is only the 16th time in 125 years that he has failed to see his shadow.What happens if it's a sunny, shadowy day but the reigning Phil has poor eyesight? Maybe we can shorten winter every year by using a blind groundhog.

Fortunately, SNL has the perfect legal defense. They can't possibly be making fun of transgendered people. It's obvious that there is nothing funny in the skit at all, like the rest of their skits.

That number sounds low if mountains of cocaine were involved.Charlie makes something like $30 million per year, so $500,000 is essentially chump change for him. It took him six months to spend that much, so he spends approximately a day's pay every month on his favorite forms of entertainment. If you make $5,000 per month, the equivalent would be $170. I presume that is about in line with what you actually do spend on your own favorite forms of entertainment, but I'm also assuming that those forms do not include cocaine and hookers, which are pricey hobbies for most of us.

Because if there's one thing the world doeesn't have enough of, it's Tyler Perry movies. The role was previously played by Morgan Freeman.

He's reportedly put together a team of professionals that he trusts to come in every day and help him. Let's see. There's Kimmi and Kaci and Cheyenne.And you know Charlie's inner circle consists of professionals, because they all carry briefcases.
