godDAMNIT! Stop seeing bad movies people!

[Voodoo]

Hahahaha! Typical movie going public FTW!

Movies are just a fad anyways... Charles Chaplin said so! ;)

[Cool AN]

Yay for casual movie watching.

[Kelegacy]

Jeezus. Fucking. Christ.

[Deadend]

I thought people knew that Big Momma's House 2 would suck?

[DeadPixel]

I used to be a pretty dedicated movie goer. I don't mind giving the movie theaters $30 (2 tickets + snacks) for my entertainment, but lately where is the entertainment???

I can take a shit and wipe my ass with $30 and have more joy out of that. Wake the fuck up Holywood and release some decent movies.

[Sazime]

Did anyone see Uwe Boll criticizing people who don't like his movie on SpikeTVs gaming show? I just sat down to watch an episode, and they happened to interview Boll. My god, what a buffoon.

[ElectricMonk]

i'm pretty amazed that brokeback mountain has made $50m

[Abash Alarmist]

How is The Matador?

[foray]

Yay for Ang Lee. Not that I'm going to see Brokeback Mountain ever. :p

[Crabby]

Holy flaming lion heads. Annapolis was a great movie and it was completely raped over the coals.

Eh, glad I didn't bet on it.

[zipR]

The Mars Rover IMAX movie opened recently too, and was pretty damn good, probably the best IMAX movie I've seen.

[RMan]

It sadens me that Big Momma's House 2 got made, but much worse, it's going to make far more money than Serenity :(. I'm gonna go cry a little bit.

[PixelSamurai]

Even I'm shocked at this week's numbers. I figured Underworld would've eaten Big Momma's fat ass like a tic tac. Ah well, it's not like anyone ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

How about a Big Momma trilogy, Hollywood?

[Abash Alarmist]

Over the weekend I began watching the Firefly series, and I think I am in love. I was never a fan of Buffy or Angel (too odd), but Firefly is a totally different monster. The setting is awesome (wild west in space), the characters are intricately and well developed (The Shepard and Imora(sp?))...I have 4 episodes left to go then I will watch the movie, which I am hoping is just as good. Damn you Fox for canning all the good shows: Firefly, Family Guy, Futurama, Arrested Development...Who runs that comapny? Monkeys?!

[Jengaaa]

I'm glad Brokeback is still up there.

It makes me a bit happier for the state of the world.

It's really doing well against the odds.

[OSX]

How is The Matador?

Quite hilarious indeed. Saw that in the afternoon and then went to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Twas a delightful day.

[Steele Johnson]

I very rarely went to the movie theater, but now that I have a 42" HD plasma and a DVR, I really have no reason to go at all. I just think HD movies look better on my screen than what I'll see at the theater.

[Conco]

Did anyone see A New World (http://www.thenewworldmovie.com/)? It looks really good. Its from the same director as A Thin Red Line. I wasn't able to get out and see it this weekend.

[DoubleUranium]

I went to see the Matador on Sunday. Not the greatest movie ever, but it made me laugh often enough to recommend it as a light movie.

[Imelman]

Damn you Fox for canning all the good shows: Firefly, Family Guy, Futurama, Arrested Development...Who runs that comapny? Monkeys?!

I find that comment insulting to the intelligence of monkeys.

[emjoi]

I just want to say that Underworld:Evolution was really really boring.

But damn that woman has a nice butt. That's the only reason to see it.

[SMES]

Did anyone see A New World (http://www.thenewworldmovie.com/)? It looks really good.

The new world looks pretty awful to me, but maybe it's just not my kind of movie.

Then again, whose kind of movie is this? Score: 06% (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10005015-big_mommas_house_2/)

[phantomhitman]

I seen underworld 2 and came away impressed. I believe I spent $20 for something decent this time around. On a side note I rented Serenity this weekend and was not too impressed. Some nice action scenes, campy humor, and ok story, but nothing like the hype I read around here. Still a good fun movie.

How is The Matador?
Unexpectedly excellent! Very funny and it's great to see Brosnan not in smarmy Bond mode.
