New Moon took the number one spot again this weekend, but with a 70% decline from its huge opening last weekend, it’s not likely to break any more records. A quick fizzle after a fast start is to be expected with an audience that gets tired after a few stairs. Meanwhile, a close number two, The Blind Side was actually up 17.6% from its opening weekend, sparking legitimate oscar nomination talk for Sandra Bullock from people besides Pete Hammond. The real tragedy is that I might actually have to see this before I can continue to ridicule it now, and I’m still 85% sure it’s going to suck. “THAT BOY IS CHANGING YOUR LIFE.” “NO, I BEG YOUR PARDON BUT I MUST DISAGREE. IT IS HE THAT IS CHANGING MINE.”
Elsewhere, Old Dogs barely showed up, giving a glimmer of hope that no one will ever make an awful sh-tburger like this ever again. I can’t even imagine the process under which it got made. “Okay, we’ve got Robin Williams and John Travolta, great. Now, let’s stick them with as many awful f-cked out 80s clichés as possible. Take odd couple, add bachelor-adopts-baby, fold in disastrous business meeting with the Japanese, sprinkle in nutshots beyond all that is rational and… voila! Dat’s-a tasty a hate crime.”

I’m glad that Sunday Night Football recognized the fact that even Michael Oher won’t see The Blind Side.

Coincidentally, Twihards (Fangsters) – proud of their ability to make the film such a success on its debut weekend – have renamed themselves “The Huge Openings.”
Stone your logic is flawed. Twihards consist mostly of women whose openings have never even been bored out.
For the
guysmalesboys in the club though . . . spot on!Erswi-He was talking about their cheeseburger opening.
The only conceivable reason for Old Dogs doing poorly is that there probably weren’t enough nut shots in the trailer.
“Looks like these Old Dogs were……put down.” *record scratch* *dog covers it’s eyes with its paws*
It’s a shame that New Moon has dropped 70% in one week. Perhaps its fans need to “Twi harder”

“Old Dogs youth-anized by teen vampire flick.”
Old Dogs – starring John Travolta, his wife, his daughter… and apparently written by his dead, autistic son.
/What?
//Because he’s dead, or autistic?
///Well when can I tell that joke?
////OK, then what about that ridiculous facelift Travolta has?
John Travolta had a ridiculous facelift.
My mom wanted to go to theater last weekend and gave us the choice of the lesser of the two soul crushing films she was interested it: Old Dogs or The Blind Side. Since she was paying for the movie and the beer later, we indulged her and decided that The Blind Side would hurt less.
It’s movie that panders to gun-toting dickish Southern “Christian” Republicans. You know, the kind who cry when Glenn Beck tells them to and who think Jesus carried a .22 and shot the poor lepers and prostitutes off his doorstep while shouting that NRA membership and his gun are GOD GIVEN RIGHTS and ain’t no n—-r in the WHITE House gunna take ‘em.
The Michael Oher in the movie has no voice and soul, he’s just a empty vessel for a rich white family to project their fantasies upon. He’s a stray they the found shivering in the cold and the rain and decided to keep instead taking to the pound the next day.
They found a big, dumb black kid and decided he should play football despite the fact he didn’t like playing and wasn’t very good at it besides his size. When college recruiters come to woo the family and beg to borrow their prized horse to put their jockey on, the family realizes that their dumb pet better study up because he won’t be able to play unless he has a 2.5 GPA. So, they hire Kathy Bates who is, regrettably, a baby-killing, God-less democrat (but is still a graduate of the family’s Alma mater) to teach Hans to be clever and count enough apples to be allowed to play for the Alma mater too.
But, the evil NCAA hears of their plan and calls them out on it. Nothing comes of the investigation though, because Michael decides that he’d rather be a pet of a rich family that be no one’s pet at all and covers for them.
And, they all live happily ever after. The rich white family who had everything now have everything and fame and the big black kid gets to play football for his sponsors’ Alma mater. The movie ends saying: You know, lots of black kids get killed in ghettos everyday. Why can’t they play sports instead?
The movie is every bit as racist and disgusting as you think. I’m not surprised that anyone is crying Oscar for this tripe though, the theater was full and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much.
Here’s the type of people who were in my theater: There’s a part where Bullock says some words taste like vinegar coming out of her mouth. A person behind me says loudly, “Cos vinegar tastes bad!”
Spare yourself. Don’t pay to see this movie.
Live free or twi hard.
Has anyone seen MiZ? Electronsexparty says he’d love The Blind Side!
Michael: “Oh, her”.
Jacktion, he mistakenly thought someone recommended The Bind Side and went to Thailand. Which probably explains why he can’t type right now.
