Dear god, the numbers from this weekends box office are in and they reveal a very disappointing pull for "Grindhouse". Despite being awesome in every way, it came in fourth place and earned a surprisingly low $11.5 million. Lazy ass comedy "Blades of Glory" somehow topped the weekend with $23 million, bringing its two week total to a heart-breaking $69 million. "Meet the Robinsons" was number 2 this weekend, earning $17 million. Even a family comedy with Ice Cube beat "Grindhouse", as "Are We Done Yet" came in third and pulled $15 million.
And this is why most movies and TV suck. Because whenever anyone tries something different it's rejected out of hand and producers of boring crap like Blades of Glory and Family Guy roll around in giant piles of money like Scrooge McDuck. Whoever finds this crap funny must have a pretty weird sense of humor, because the entire thing is so lazy it ends up more depressing than United 93 . “Two gentlemen - ice skating - TOGETHER?!? This is highly unusual! The shock from this hilarious premise caused my top hat to leap from my head and my monocle fell into my champagne glass as I fainted on one of the peacocks! My heart cant take any more of this edgy Hollywood comedy! Mine eyes have seen the glory - Blades of Glory, that is!!!”
Assholes
Wait.. I thought the gun was on her left leg?
i am gonna see grindhouse…just havent had the time. meet the robinsons actually looks funny, and family guy (although is getting less and less funny with each new episode) is a classic comedy. but im going to have to agree that will ferrel is getting annoying, is his comedy is tired.
Yeah, cause Tarantino does such original work.
Seriously, how can you have a ‘raunchy movie with strippers and NOT show nudity?
I think Quentin likes cock too much.
It should be pointed out that “Family Guy” WAS one of those overlooked original and edgy things. Thankfully it was saved from cancellation.
“Grindhouse” can be saved too….but alas, it won’t be, cause EVERYONE really does SUCK.
That is her left leg!
I saw Grindhouse this weekend. It does not dissapoint. Both movies are really good
The gun was on her right leg in the movie
Added bonus when I walked out of the movie theater these 2 guys got in a fight and then their girlfriends started fighting…everyone loves a cat fight.
Thank you for using the scrooge mcduck analogy. And thank you for agreeing with me on this will ferrell bullshit. He needs a friend to grab him and say “stopit”. And UninTy: Family guy was good for two seasons, and thats it. There is no depth.
The resurrection of family guy will be the end of us all. Hopefully we can reanimate futurama, make it stronger. Its people like Unin that force us to have retarded shows with nothing but cheap, unintelligent jokes.
I saw Grindhouse over the weekend and thought it sucked. Boring, self indulgent, too in love with itself.
That said, I still gave it a chance and I wouldn’t waste my money on the other movies. I’ll let my woman do that when she rents these steaming piles.
Is Will Ferrell out to corner the market on stupid sports parodies? What’s next–”Chairman of the Board” (a snowboarding parody about some guy who inherits a ski resort)? “Jimnasium” (about some moron who somehow becomes the oldest Olympic gymnatics competitor ever)?
yeah blades of glory wasn’t funny
Isn’t someone getting naked somewhere???
Leisa: Chairman of the Board was a Carrot Top vehicle in the 90’s. That said, I saw Blades of Glory last Thursday cause I love Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, and being married in real life, really wanted to see them perform together. What I didn’t love is they were hardly in the movie, and the rest of it sucked. I’ll see Grindhouse in theatres to support it but I couldn’t make it this past weekend. And as much as I enjoy Tarantino, I’d hardly call him original.
10:57 by davebo–damn, I must have missed that award winning Carrot Top flick.
Grindhouse is too damn long! I love this kind of stuff and yet I cant do ANYTHING for 3 hours and 20 minutes…except make sweet, savage love to LiLo and LeeLee and other actresses with funny names. I’d even do Rose McGowan except I’m afraid her gun-leg would shot me as we were in the throes of passion.
^SHOOT me as we were in the throes of passion.
Planet Terror didn’t disappoint in the least bit, but I thought that Death Proof was boring and stupid. It had nothing that made the old flicks like that so good. Just 75 fucking minutes of people talking and then 10 minutes of anything worth seeing, but by the time you got to it, it was over.
