9. Sex and the City – $2.4M

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
The continuing adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda as they live their lives in Manhattan four years after the series ended.

10. You Don’t Mess with the Zohan – $2.0M

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
Dennis Dugan (BIG DADDY, HAPPY GILMORE) directs this comedy co-written by Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, and Robert Smigel. Disco- and hummus-loving Zohan (Sandler) is the Israeli army\'s best weapon. He can single-handedly take out terrorists and swim like a dolphin, and still find time to charm the ladies. But this lethal weapon is tired of fighting Palestinian terrorists like the Phantom (John Turturro). He has bigger dreams: he wants to cut and style hair. Unfortunately, once Zohan arrives in New York City with a new look straight out of the 1980s and an assumed identity after faking his own death, his lack of experience gets him laughed out of salon after salon. Finally, Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a Palestinian salon owner, gives him a shot, and the older patrons love him. But just as Zohan is hitting his stride, Salim, a Palestinian New York City cabbie (Rob Schneider) recognizes him, and suddenly the Zohan\'s dream is in jeopardy.<br><br>To confuse matters more, there is a Trump-like developer (Michael Buffer) who is trying to clear out the Manhattan neighborhood where Israelis and Palestinians peacefully coexist in order to build a mall. A bulked-up Sandler is amusing as Zohan, and this is Schneider\'s best performance in years. Despite the extreme stereotyping, there is an underlying message about the futility of war and fact that people really are, after all, just people. The film is peppered with brief appearances from a menagerie of celebrities, including Chris Rock, Dave Matthews, Charlotte Rae, Kevin James, John McEnroe, Mariah Carey, George Takei, and Bruce Vilanch. Lainie Kazan and Nick Swardson also star in this film as a mother and son who befriend the new immigrant.

Movie Review: Get Smart

Monday, July 7th, 2008

A disappointing TV adaptation with too much stock summer action and too little humor.
Strange how Get Smart collects such an ideal cast and misuses it. Also peculiar how the film tries to be an action comedy but never really manages to get the action and the comedy right at the same time. On the surface, from the trailers and ads, the players all certainly seem primed and ready to attempt to capture the spirit of the original 60s…

Blu-ray Review: Batman – The Movie, Special Edition

Monday, July 7th, 2008

105 minutes of campy Batman fun!
Though I wasn't born yet when the original Batman series first captivated audiences when it premiered in January of 1966 on ABC, I watched the series in the eighties whenever it showed up in syndication. Always a fan of superheroes, Batman and Superman have always topped my list of favorites. There is something about Batman, a simple human…

TV Review: Supernatural – “Fresh Blood”

Monday, July 7th, 2008

The episode when season three kicked into high gear and began to reach levels of season two.
I want to send my thanks to all who read and sent comments regarding my cop-out last week for “Red Sky At Morning”. The feedback was fantastic and many agreed with my choices for the five worst episodes. The best episodes list will be coming in a few weeks, and I’m sure I’ll get far more disagreement on that one. …

PES: Western Spaghetti

Monday, July 7th, 2008


NOTE: If you don’t see the video on the PES site, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

At long last, PES’s latest short film is online for the world to behold. “Western Spaghetti” is, in my opinion, PES’ most inventive project to date. Each clever re-purposing of ordinary items feels like a minor epiphany, a burst of childlike imagination.

I remember the audible oohs and ahhs from the audience when PES previewed a couple scenes of Western Spaghetti at the last Inspire. PES has managed to sustain that level of titillation, showing us the world through his eyes for a giddy minute and a half. Thanks to him, I’ll never look at a Rubik’s cube quite the same way again.

Big thanks to Brett for the tip!

Kim Kardashian demonstrates how to become famous

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Here's Kim Kardashian outside a nail salon yesterday in a candid shot that forces me not to question her existence for once. Also, scope out the freaking size of Kim's purse. Clearly, it's a protective shield for her ass. I bet she's got at least a sofa and love seat in there. Which makes me wonder: What's in the purse? Hi-OH! I'll be in the Catskills all weekend, folks. Stay for the veal.

Mini-Me’s ex breaks the silence on making amateur midget porn: A woman’s journey

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Cashing in while the iron's hot, Verne "Mini-Me" Troyer's ex-girlfriend and sex tape co-star Ranae Shrider sat down for an interview with News of the World to openly discuss the couple's sex life. I will never, ever in my entire life write anything as funny as the unintentional hilarity that comes out of Ranae's mouth. This chick should do Vegas: On sex in general with a midget: "So I'd lie on the bed and Verne would crawl up my legs to have sex with me. And as he did it his feet would be tickling my knees! It wasn't quite as passionate as sex with a normal-sized man but he did his best. He didn't wear a condom. There was no point, they're all too big. On the whole though, he wasn't short of sexy skills and tried his hardest to make up in technique what he lacked in size." On their first time and the Mini-Me's magical rebound skills: "I had no complaints. But the whole thing was over in three minutes. It was strange having sex with someone who couldn't reach to kiss me at the same time, except for my tummy that is! I was so relieved it was over. But minutes later Verne was ready to go again. That night we made love three times in 20 minutes, which most bigger men only dream about doing." On why midget's prefer sex on dry land: "I thought it would be fun to do it in the tub," she said. "Sadly I almost killed him. While Verne was watching TV I ran the bath, emptied a bottle of bubbles in it and called him in. But the bubbles were so thick and high that once he climbed in he got lost under the water and I couldn't see him." Mini-Me almost drowns trying to do his girlfriend in a bubble bath. Jesus. *hangs up keyboard* Sorry, guys, you just can't follow something like that. I'll be simultaneously laughing/crying/inhaling White-Out in the supply closet until the next post. Hold my calls. UPDATE: I'M A PTERODACTYL! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! P.S. We're out of White-Out.
