Sandra Bullock is a big name?
I meant the SEC coaches drawing in the college football crowd And I don't really remember a movie being as specifically targeted for advertisement during ESPN football games and Sportscenter, at least in recent memory, as much as this. This argument is weird as hell |

Gray isn't visible during most of the interview — thank God — but about five minutes into their talk LeBron glances down slightly, and suddenly I was conscious of feeling Gray's off-camera eyes locked on LeBron's crotch during LeBron's answers.

I mean based on the random ad or two I saw of that movie it seemed to be a lot more in the "touching family drama" vein than ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAAAALLLLLLLLL
Were the ESPN ads more in the latter vein because that just seems weird

The ads all made a point to prominently feature all the coaches that would be in it even though I assume they were probably in it for like 15 minutes And there were on ALL THE TIME ON ESPN this isn't so damn crazy, "touching family drama" with just Sandra Bullock attached does not make $30 million in its first weekend, c'mon |

OVK can't tell the difference because the only channel he watches is ESPN. Well when he isn't watching THE GOOD WIFE on CBS. |

First Post After Goldenboy.
So much for New Moon dropping down the list. Impressed that the Blind Side actually made more this weekend, but I guess it's not shocking considering it had new moon to deal with last weekend.

Dances with Smurfs.
The 60 Minutes fluff piece on this film suggests that he thought of the character designs himself. Didn't mention if he was "inspired" by anything.

Wouldn't be the first time Cameron has ripped off a classic sci fi author. After all, Harlan Ellison created the Terminator and won a lawsuit in 1997 that forced Cameron to acknowledge it. Wow, it even mentions that in the article Albright linked to! Great post, bassist. |

BoxOfficeMojo says this was in 1,007 theaters, so that amounts to $250 a theater, which amounts to the worst 1,000+ theater opening ever. It looked shitty but wow. |

Invictus would be good to see too.

It's also a sequel/reimagining of a direct-to-DVD sequel of a shitty movie that was released in less theaters in the first place.
Yeah this one is pretty out there.

"Avatar apparently made $77.3 million, just squeezing past I Am Legend's December opening record of $77.2 million. Not only that, but it was the biggest-ever weekend haul from IMAX screens, with $9.5 million of that cash coming from the 178 IMAX screens where it was playing."

Apparently it would have done even better if it weren't for the Snowpocalypse causing lots of people on the east coast to just stay home.
So thanks for that, God.

I'm doing my part. I went to see Invictus tonight and I plan on seeing Up in the Air sometime in the next week.
Meanwhile you guys are either sitting on your asses or being like Vinnie and feeding the damn AVATAR machine.
